Chapter 485
âI canât hold it in anymore!â
Hera leaned on Nashâs shoulder, bursting into laughter.
Such a juicy piece of gossip being revealed was indeed sensational
news!
Caught up in her laughter, Hera nearly fell off her chair.
Nash was quick to react and steadied her by the arm.
âPfftâ¦â
The secretary at the side could not help but let out a chuckle as well.
The faces of Clarkeâs two followers had darkened to the extreme, and Clarke himself was seething. His eyes were bloodshot with rage.â Bastards, all of you are asking for itâ¦â
With that, he kicked the leg of the broken conference table.
The table leg spun toward Hera.
Then, Nash flicked a piece of wood chip with his finger, and the table leg exploded into dust.
The wood dust grazed Clarkeâs face, leaving bloody scratches across
his handsome features.
Clarkeâs display of shattering the table earlier had shown his strength
at stage five of the Energy Cultivation Realm.
Nash had not intervened because Hera seemed very happy at the
Now that Clarke had made a
ove,
Nash was not going to be polite.
âSo, youâre actually a martial artistâ¦
Clarke touched the blood stain on his face, then a mocking smile
crept across his lips. âThat makes sense. A guard dog must have some skills, right?â
âThatâs enoughâ¦â Hera stood up, her face cold as ice.
Simultaneously, a group of security guards rushed in.
There were around a dozen of them.
The head of security hurried in, surveyed the shattered conference table, and asked with furrowed brows, âMs. Lewis⦠what happened?â
âJust get these three out of here,â Hera said flatly.
Clarke smiled slightly. âNo need, weâll see ourselves out.â
The head of security scoffed. âMs. Lewis said to get you out. What are you guys waiting for?â
The security guards were about to take action.
âLet them goâ¦â
Nash signaled for them to stop.
The head of security at the headquarters naturally recognized Nash.
Since the security manager had given the word, the head waved his
hand, and all the security guards retreated.
However, Clarke thought Nash had chickened out.
He shoved his hands into his pockets, tilted his head slightly, and remarked, âBy the way⦠I heard you went to Universal Group before. The deal didnât go through, huh?â
Hera laughed coldly. âYour sniffing skills are quite sharp, huh?â
Since they had already torn off each otherâs masks, she did not need
to be courteous anymore.
Clarke laughed again. âThen let me tell you some good news⦠Weâve already partnered with Universal Groupâ¦â
He said this purely to irritate Hera. The 7nm lithography machine was not exclusive to Baroque. Innovate Collective had it too.
Earlier, Nash had just been smearing Clarkeâs name on purpose.
Now, he could see that Clarke was definitely someone who had climbed his way up through unscrupulous means.
To brag about such trivial matters, he was no different than a child.
A partnership with Universal Group?
Perhaps in another universe!
âWell, congratulations to you! Now⦠get lost. Youâre an eyesore!â Hera spoke as if she were looking at three idiots.
Clarkeâs smile did not falter as he sauntered out. âAs for you,
watchdog, Iâll remember you. Iâll make sure to get back at you for
todayâs grudge!â
âJust get lost, you motherfucker!â The head of security could not stand Clarkeâs words and aimed a kick at him.
Clarke sensed it coming and stepped forward, avoiding the kick.
Hera trembled with rage. âDamn you, Clarke Camp⦠Nothing good comes out of your filthy mouth!â
Then, she looked curiously at Nash. âThis doesnât seem like your
style. If it were before, wouldnât you have just taken action?â
