The Supreme Man: Took Everything in Power

Chapter 420

"Bullsh*t!" Arnold's voice broke as he shouted in response.

"80% of our company's resources are invested in this project! The company will go bankrupt if we withdraw now!"

Eric understood the underlying meaning of his father's words.

Arnold wanted him to kneel and beg 100 times.

Eric shook his head in horror.

"No… I don't want to! I would rather die than beg! I'm the young master of Sunrise Corporation. Why would I beg someone else?"

Will had mixed feelings when he saw how twitchy Eric had become.

He was a little happy to see Eric's misfortune but also somewhat terrified of sharing the same fate. However, more than anything else, he was relieved.

Will thought to himself. Luckily I earned Mr. Nicholson's forgiveness! Or else, I would probably end up in a fate worse than Eric's.

At the same time, he also swore to himself that he would never ever offend Kingsley!

On the other hand, Eric wasn't as fortunate as Will. He almost peed his pants as he crawled over to Kingsley's feet and begged, "Mr. Nicholson. Mr. Nicholson, please. Ask Mr. Carter to let me off the hook! I would never disrespect you ever again!"

After Leoric, who was standing behind Kingsley, stared at the frankly pathetic scene starring Eric begging oh-so pitifully, he mumbled in realization, "Boss, I think I know what you meant just now.

This guy is desperate."

Kingsley smiled faintly. "This is just the start."

Then, he lowered his head and looked at Eric. "Weren't you saying that you would kill me? Mr. Yorkshire?"

"No. No. No. I was bullsh*tting!" Eric wretchedly grabbed onto Kingsley's pants.

"Please. Please let me off this time. It's Mrs. Hewitt's birthday celebration, after all."

Kingsley smirked. "If it weren't for her, you'd be a dead man walking by now."

Eric stared at him piteously with his mouth agape.

Then, he slowly released Kingsley's pants. "You… You weren't going to let me go, were you?"

Kingsley leaned forward slightly and said under his breath, "When you said you were going after Courtney, your fate was sealed."

"Fine… Fine…"

Eric's eyes flickered as he moved backward. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Then, he moved to the main table on his knees and pleaded to the few important figures sitting there.

"Please save me, Governor Norris. Director Klein. That punk didn't want me to kneel. He wanted me dead!"

Eric was smart. He knew the only people who could save him right now were those of authority.

Besides them, no one else had enough standing to speak to Jay.

The few officers exchanged glances but didn't open their mouths as they had to consider Coliree Group's powerful influence.

"Minister Hansen. Chief Rees. Please help me!" Eric thought of a brilliant idea in panic.

"You see. That Nicholson guy is only 21 years old. Who is he to gain the respect of the higher management of the Coliree Group? Just because Jay said so? I don't believe this mysterious guy that just appeared in Solaris Province! They should have made some sort of scheme to come after the Sunrise Corporation!"

He looked at them pleadingly.

"Please. Just one word from you all to bring them away for investigation would reveal the truth to everyone and save my life!"

During this time, Zeke, who collapsed on the ground just now, was feeling better now.

He crawled over and said in a hoarse voice, "Yes. Yes. I can prove it! Nicholson isn't as great as Mr. Carter claims him to be! His sister is only an ordinary person. He's ordinary too! Look at his clothes. They don't even cost 100. How could he be some big shot?"

Soon, people started becoming skeptical after listening to Eric and Zeke's words.

Even though the Carter Family was a noble family, they were based in Cleapolis. The people from Diosna weren't familiar with them.

Under Eric's eloquent speech, people were starting to question how truthful Jay's words actually were.

Clap. Clap. Clap.

Kingsley clapped slowly and said in amazement, "You sure are the young master of the Sunrise Corporation. Your ability to twist words is honestly amazing."

Then, he looked at Arnold, who had been silent all this while. "What do you think, President Yorkshire?"
