"Yours... Mr... Mr...."
"He's Mr. Bailey, our company's chairman of the board."
"Bang!"
Wallace trembled, and the iron bar dropped from his hands. Gaping at Robin in disbelief, he had never thought of making trouble for the chairman of the board.
He felt that he would be doomed.
"If you only wished to kick me out of the lobby, I would forgive you. After all, it was your duty. However, you wanted to break my arm. You've gone too far," Robin said.
He propped a hand on Wallace's shoulder.
With a click, Wallace felt his left shoulder was broken. He lost his balance, falling to the ground. The pain twisted his face. Cold sweat oozed on his forehead. He let out a cry, "Argh!"
"I broke your arm to punish you. You'll recover in a few months. If you were in Eastern Kisia, you'd be punished by military law. By the way, find a new job. This position doesn't suit you."
Robin flicked his hand, entering the company lobby.
He told the truth. He strictly looked upon discipline as a soldier, especially in his army of Eastern Kisia.
"Get out!" Jim snapped to Wallace and couldn't help shivering.
Somehow, Jim felt a murderous aura from Robin. Earlier, people in the Bailey family told him Robin was from the military, and his hands were full of the enemies' blood. He was told he could never afford to offend Robin.
After Jim kicked out Wallace, he quickly followed Robin.
In the lobby, Miranda was chitchatting and having coffee with a long-haired woman. Suddenly, the long-haired woman noticed the scene behind her. "Look, Ms. Levis. Mr. Jordan was following a young man. Is he the chairman of the board?"
"The chairman of the board?"
Miranda was intrigued, looking back.
However, Robin and Jim had already entered the elevator, so Miranda only saw their backs. She was startled. "Why is his back... like Robin Bailey's so much?"
After thinking for a while, she ironically shook the idea off her head. "What am I thinking about? I lacked sleep as I drove to town last night. How could Robin Bailey be the chairman of the board? He's just a loser."
They all knew the owner of the Robin-Sophia Group had been changed. However, the new chairman of the board was highly mysterious. Only Jim knew who he was. According to the rumors, the chairman was a bigwig.
Therefore, Miranda didn't think it would be Robin.
"What a loser! After joining the military for seven years, he's still a loser. How could he be a bigwig?"
Miranda shook her head again to deny her guess.
Robin and Jim were alone in the president's office on the top floor. Sitting on the sofa, Robin sipped the coffee brewed by Jim personally. Jim stood upright opposite him, afraid Robin would be angry.
"Mr. Jordan, did you refuse someone to meet you earlier?"
After sipping the coffee, Robin looked at Jim sharply.
"Refuse someone? What... I... Let me think... Hmm..."
Cold sweat oozed on Jim's forehead. He tried hard to ring the bell. He had meetings, signed several documents, and met some clients... Then he recalled Lands Corporation's business plan.
He rang the bell.
"Mr. Bailey, earlier, Elise Houry from Lands Corporation wanted to meet me. However, the company is below 100 on the local company rankings, so I've never considered cooperating with them. I refused to meet her."
"Forgotten what I asked you to investigate last time?"
Robin's words reminded Jim. Two days ago, Robin ordered him to check information about Lands Corporation. However, Jim had been busy with cooperation recently and met many companies. He had forgotten about Lands Corporation.
Robin added, his words trembling Jim's heart, "Elise is my wife. You should address her as Mrs. Bailey."
"Mr. Bailey, I... I..."
Jim stiffened. He had never expected Elise to be Robin's wife, and Robin was his boss...
Suddenly, there was s curt knock on the door. A man said, "Excuse me, Mr. Bailey. I'm Jeff."
"Enter."
Robin beamed at Jim. "The matter hasn't ended yet."
Jeff entered with a file folder in his hands. Standing before Robin, he reported, "Mr. Bailey, I've finished checking the matter you wanted."
"All right. Read it to me," Robin hinted at him.
"On May 4th, the first day when the Robin-Sophia Group arrived in Stillwater, Jim Jordan received four million dollars from the Bailey family. The money was wired to his bank account at one o'clock in the afternoon. At six that afternoon, Jim Jordan met Xander Group's president and accepted 400, 000 dollars. The next morning, Autumn Inc. wired 600, 000 dollars to Jim Jordan's bank account at one o'clock. On May 5th, yesterday, Cathelin Group sent an infamous actress to be Jim Jordan's date and wired 360, 000 dollars to his account. At eight last night, three groups wired you 400, 000 dollars, respectively. They are..."
Jeff read the file, which was the result of the investigation requested by Robin.
Upon hearing his words, Jim paled gradually. Sweat started dripping from his head, and he lost balance. In the past, he was from a poor family in the countryside. Therefore, he was afraid of poverty the most. After becoming the president of the Robin-Sophia Group, he failed to resist the temptation of money and lust. He repeatedly accepted the bribery.
However, he had never thought he would be found.
"Mr. Bailey, Jim Jordan has accepted 6. 96 million dollars in total, out of which the Bailey family's four million was the most," Jeff concluded.
"6. 96 million dollars. Jim Jordan, you are really good at earning money."
Robin knocked on the desk.
When the third knock sounded, Jim failed to burden the stress and collapsed to the floor. He begged, "Mr... Mr. Bailey, I... It's my fault... I'm sorry..."
He had been caught red-handed, so he had to apologize, wishing there would be a turnaround.
However, Jeff gazed at him angrily and suggested, "General, why do you still keep such a man beside you? Kill him."
'Kill me?'
Jim shook violently in fear.
'Please don't scare me. I'm timid. Please don't kill me!' he begged inwardly.
However, Jim could tell that Robin had the guts to kill him because Jeff addressed him "General." Patrick used to tell him Robin was a general who used to kill 300, 000 enemies in a battle.
