Chapter 704

“Move your car! Don’t disrupt us from welcoming our new boss!”

“Move your car as far away as possible! Don’t tarnish our company’s image!”

Zeke ignored the crowd and turned slightly towards his car, urging, “Come on out.”

A few migrant workers alighted the car. They were the ones who had been beaten up by Franklin at the construction site.

Zeke asked the team leader, “Tell me, who was the one who’d assaulted you?”

The team leader cautiously pointed towards Franklin.

Zeke stared at Franklin with coldness seeping from his eyes. “Franklin, it seems that the previous lesson I’d taught you wasn’t enough. You’d still dared to touch my people. Now, you will kneel and beg for their forgiveness.”

Then, he addressed the crowd, saying, “Grand Empire Group needs to take responsibility for allowing their employees to abuse their power. So, bow and apologize.”

Franklin snorted with laughter.

This guy isn’t just arrogant, rather, he’s ignorant too. It’s bad enough that he wants me to kneel and apologize, but now he wants the entire Grand Empire Group to apologize to a few migrant workers too?

Does he think that he’s the new boss of Grand Empire Group or something?

“Haha. You’re rather full of yourself, huh?” Franklin quipped with indifference. “Don’t forget that we’re the ones in charge of this project collaboration. You’re nothing before the Grand Empire Group. So, does it make sense for us to bow and apologize to you?”

The pretty assistant director had a frown between her brows. “Franklin, who is he? What on earth is going on?”

Franklin scoffed and explained, “He’s just a small salesperson from Linton Group, but their boss keeps him as her boy toy. The construction team sent by Linton Group failed the inspection. I told them to demolish and rebuild, but they grew upset, even going as far as talking back to me, so I taught them a small lesson.”

“Regardless of what’d happened, you’re still at fault for assaulting them,” chided the assistant director.

Then, her frown deepened. “Forget it. I don’t have time to look into this matter, so I’ll give you three minutes to fix this. Don’t hold us up from welcoming Master Williams.”

Franklin nodded quickly. “You can rest assured; I’ll fix it within a minute.”

Just then, the other supervisor, Kevin, exclaimed with surprise, “Zeke Williams? You’re the Zeke Williams who went to Oakheart City High, aren’t you?”

Zeke was taken aback as well as he met the other man’s gaze.

One glance was enough for Zeke to recognize him.

Isn’t this the dean from back in high school, Kevin Stewart?

Looking at Kevin, Zeke could not help but think about his older twin brother, Zach.

During high school, Zach had targeted Zeke at every turn, all because he had wanted inheritance rights for himself.

Zach had even bribed the dean, Kevin Stewart, to make Zeke’s life miserable, hampering him from studying properly.

Under the scorching summer sun, Zeke was made to stand on the field as punishment.

It was the same during cold winter days, as well as when the winds howled, and the rain poured.

The physical and mental torment had messed him up, and he was drained of all energy until he had lost all deSire to study.

At one point, he had even started having suicidal thoughts.

After graduation, he was arrested and sent to prison in Zach’s place. That was the last time he had seen Kevin.

Little did he know that Kevin would end up working at the Grand Empire Group, becoming his own employee.

God is giving me a chance at revenge.

Zeke cracked into a smile that did not reach his eyes. “Mr. Stewart, long time no see.”

Kevin gave him a lukewarm response. “Yes, it was a long time indeed.”

The small group of migrant workers looked slightly troubled, and one of them admitted, “Mr. Williams, he’s also one of the supervisors who’d impeded our progress and hit us, but we’ll just let it go since he’s your friend.”

They thought that Zeke and Kevin were on friendly terms.

They could only suck it up and let it go, so as to avoid putting Zeke in a tough spot.

Zeke shook his head. “You’ll only be making things worse by letting it go. Don’t worry, let me handle it.”

Franklin stared at Kevin with curiosity. “Kev, do you both know each other?”

Kevin nodded. “Yeah. I was his teacher during high school. This guy had poor grades and bad behavior, almost getting himself expelled from school. He was arrested and spent five years in prison after graduation. Then, after he got out, he lived on the streets and begged for a living. It was a miracle that he didn’t starve to death, but how did he end up becoming the person in charge of Linton Group?”
