The building executive checked his surroundings. He then continued in a subdued voice, "Thismorning, the higher-ups have ordered us to retire Steven's membership. In addition to that, ourmembers will not be allowed any business dealings with him."
Barry exclaimed in shock, "That's pushing him toward bankruptcy!"
Every successful businessman must have owed the bank some money. For them to be denied anybusiness dealings was akin to forcing them into surrender.
The banks might have gotten wind of this by now. It wouldn't be surprising if they were waiting forSteven somewhere.
Barry blinked a few times before letting out a knowing sigh. "He must have gotten in the way ofsomeone important!"
"I'm guessing the same." The building executive whispered to Barry, "Mr. Silverton, seeing that we'reacquainted, I'll let you in on this. Can you guess which one of our higher committee members issuedthe order?"
"Which?" Barry was being led by his curiosity.
"Haha! Mr. Silverston, have you considered joining our group yet?" The building executive was evadinghis question. "If you wish to do business in Paramount State, it'll be incredibly helpful to join ourmembership."
"Hahaha! Don't you see that I'm here now?" Barry laughed heartily as remark.
"Then, I'll have to give you an early welcome for joining our group of merchants!" The buildingexecutive was satisfied with his answer. He extended his right hand to Barry.
After the handshake, the building executive leaned in and whispered a name into his ears. Barry's pupilshrunk upon hearing the name. He could only express his deepest sympathy toward Steven's illencounter.
Too bad for him to have crossed the man on top!
The building executive noticed the look on Barry's face and reassured him with a smile. "Mr. Silverston,don't let that bother you. If the Chamber of Commerce did not chime in on this matter, I'm afraid Stevenwould suffer much worse than just bankruptcy."
"Is that how it is?" Barry was a little rattled. "Let's go and get my registration in order! I can still affordthree million worth of annual membership fee."
Hehe! Who would have thought that someone's misfortune would do me a favor instead? I guess I'llhave Steven to thank.
The building executive was grinning as he led Barry into the commerce building.
At the Pavilion Hotel, inside the President's suite, Jacob was standing by the window while answering acall on his phone.
"Dad, rest assured. I've sent someone to check. There's nothing going on at home. Perhaps… Auntwas mistaken. There's nothing to worry about and you should get back to your work… All right, I'm
going to hang up now."
After he put down the phone, he looked toward Jerry who was standing at the side. "Bring in moremen. I will not allow any mishap in Rowan Lane."
"Understood, Boss." Jerry lifted his chest. "I will not let anything that falls within three kilometers ofRowan Lane to escape my sight. Not even a housefly."
Jacob sharpened his gaze. His face was slightly concerned. "Not just Rowan Lane, all the others aswell! Little Professor kindergarten, Harleydale Senior High, Oriental Tower and also my daughter'sneighborhood. Make sure you have tight security on all of them!"
Jerry lowered his head, put his fist against his chest, and said with a solemn face, "No worries, Boss.You can leave this to me!"
Jacob nodded. "As always, I'm pretty confident in your ability…"
He took a glance at the computer screen on top of the desk, then squeezed his brows into a knot. "ButI'll feel more assured if you can cut down on your gaming hours."
"Hehe! Boss, gaming happens to be my only hobby." Jerry was scratching the back of his head as hechuckled.
After a few moments of silence, he dropped his hand and changed into a serious tone. "Boss, the guyfrom Cruour Sect is a bit hard to deal with. I don't think I can handle him alone. If you don't mind, Iwould like Gerald's help on this."
At the same time, the skillful Willow entered the room in a silver-gray windbreaker. "Boss, I would likeyou to come with me."
