Chapter 1010
Summon Of The Sword
Damianâs status was so high that he was at least in the top three, even if he was not the number two in River City.
Therefore, they dared not show any disrespect when they saw him.
However, Damian brought no one with him. He only came here alone.
Coltonâs status was so sensitive that his presence here was out of place.
âDirector Wool, have a seat.â
Sean put down the newspaper and got up to invite Damian to sit.
Without hesitation, Damian instantly pulled out a chair and sat at the desk.
âYou can say whatever you want now.â
Sean sat down again and looked at the crowd.
Everyone finally understood that Sean was really waiting for someone.
He was waiting for Damian.
âMr. Lennon, hereâs the thing. Jen-Bond Holdingsâ Mr. Thomson just had a chat with usâ¦â
Seemingly to have become the crowdâs representative, Hayden stepped forward to talk to Sean.
âWhat did you chat about?
âDid he ask you to join them and go against me?â
Sean asked playfully as he poured tea for Damian.
âWell⦠Hereâs the thingâ¦â
Hayden froze and hid nothing.
âSince you agreed, why did you come to me?â
Sean gently pushed the teacup in front of Damian.
Damian sipped his tea in silence, not saying a word.
It was not yet time for him to speak.
âWe donât want to make any more mistakes.
âHe wants us to go against Mr. Freemanâs orders and go after you.
âWe donât want to do it, but they have some dirt on us.
âSoâ¦â
Hayden said, and everyone else nodded.
âSo you want me to help you find a way.â
Sean took over the conversation and replied with a faint smile.
âYesâ¦â
Hayden and the others nodded.
However, Sean stopped talking and only enjoyed his tea quietly.
Zander immediately understood and went to Seanâs side to help him refill his tea.
âWhy should Mr. Lennon help you?â
Zander asked, looking at the crowd with the teapot in his hand.
âMr. Lennon, as long as we can stay out of it, we wonât get involved in anything again.
âAnd I will never help Jen-Bond Holdings to go against your company, Mr. Lennon.â
A middle-aged woman immediately took over the conversation and answered.
The others nodded too.
âHahaâ¦â
However, Sean shook his head slightly and pushed the empty teacup forward.
Zander immediately grabbed the teapot and began refilling the tea. 1 The crowd could not understand Seanâs meaning, so they could only stay silent for a while.
âNot enough. Pour more.â
Sean said suddenly, and Zander immediately continued to pour the tea.
However, he poured the tea slowly.
Hayden and the others immediately came to themselves.
âMr. Lennon, we can help you too.â
A middle-aged man next to Hayden said with a slight cough.
âPour more.â
As if he had not heard it, Sean stared at the teacup and said again.
âYes!â
Zander obeyed and continued to pour the tea.
âWell⦠Mr. Lennon, weâll help you as long as the law allows it.â
âWe can also help you drive Jen-Bond Holdings out of River City, Mr. Lennon.â
Finally, Hayden and the rest came up with all the leverage they had.
It was as far as they could go.
âThatâs enough.â
Sean called out to Zander.
The teacup happened to be 70% full.
Damian was impressed to see it.
He could not believe Sean was only in his twenties.
Not many people could be this astute and clever.
âMr. Lennon, do you agree to it?â
âDo you have any good ideas?â
Hayden and the others immediately cheered up.
âDirector Wool, I asked you some time ago to arrange your men to do some things. Did you do it?â
Sean slowly looked up at Damian and asked.
He had asked Damian to plant a time bomb that he would use as an ace.
Now, it was time to put it to use.
âThat thing? It is done.â
Damian froze slightly before coming to himself immediately.
âDid you do it?â
Sean slowly turned his head to look at Hayden and the others.
âWhat is it, Mr. Lennon?â
Hayden and the rest did not react for a while.
âThe same thing with Gordon.â
Damian reminded, frowning slightly and looking at the crowd.
The crowd instantly came to themselves.
When Jen-Bond Holdings had only come to River City a few days ago, James had spent a lot of money and thought on his rapid rise in River City.
He did not only have deals with Gordon but also with Hayden and the rest.
Besides, it was not a secret at all.
Damian told them to film the transaction at the time secretly.
They were not sure why Damian would do this.
However, given Damianâs status, they did exactly what they were told.
They dared not admit it!
Gordon was taken away because of a video like this.
Even if they filmed it, they dared not show it!
It would be suicidal.
They were thinking about destroying that video after getting back tonight.
âThe video will keep you safe.â
Sean took a sip from his teacup and said indifferently.
âWhat?â
Everyone froze when they heard that.
Those with agendas gradually came to themselves.
âMr. Lennon, are you saying we can use the video as leverageâ¦.
âAnd say we were forced to accept for the time beingâ¦â
Haydenâs eyes slowly widened as they lit up gradually.
The crowd gradually came to themselves and gasped.
No one expected this.
They did accept Jamesâs bribes under pressure from Cameron.
However, with such a video as proof, they could clear themselves of responsibility!
âMr. Lennon, can Gordon clear himself of responsibility in the same way?â
Hayden asked quickly after two seconds of silence.
âGordonâs going to die.â
Sean put down his teacup as he spoke calmly.
âWhy⦠Why?â
Everyone was a little puzzled.
âBecause I want him dead.â
Sean stood up slowly and sneered.
The whole office was dead silent as soon as he said that.
