Shadow Empire

Chapter 229: Butt Pain and Head Pain

When he saw the male protagonist, Serrick's emotions fluctuated to some extent.

After all... they are also good friends who sleep in the same bed.

But it was definitely not a positive fluctuation, because he vaguely realized the reason why the male protagonist appeared here.

When they met again, the protagonist had already been abandoned by him. Of course, the protagonist didn't know that he had been abandoned yet. Instead, he was a little touched.

Because... Selrick actually did so much for him, which made him feel that Selrick was really good to him, and not the kind of hypocritical goodness.

He originally had no good feelings towards Serrick and even thought he was a pervert, but now, it seemed that his dissatisfaction with Serrick, or that kind of disgusting feeling, was beginning to disappear.

There was no fear, anxiety or hatred in his eyes, only calmness and a "greeting" that he thought the other person could understand.

In addition to the leading actor, the director also came. He was holding a small filming equipment and looked a little embarrassed because he knew what he was here to do today.

"Is there a bed inside?" Lance asked.

Ennio pushed open the door and checked before running out, "Yes."

"Very well, please invite our gentlemen into the room."

Serrick took a deep breath, which made his lower abdomen, which had been aching slightly, start to ache more noticeably. His face turned slightly pale. "What are you going to do?"

Lance glanced at Jellal, "I want to play a game with you."

"You always like to use various means to force others to obey your orders. You trample on and distort their dignity and personality, just to please your weird sexual fetish."

"Now, I'm giving you a choice."

"This is the ninth floor. I'm going to throw you out of the window, or make you feel what those you've humiliated have felt."

"You can refuse, and then the earth will be your home."

"But you can also accept the new experience I give you, which may teach you how to respect others."

"Come into the room, or I'll throw you down. You can make your choice."

Hiram opened the window, and a strong wind blew in, making the curtains rustle. Serrick remained silent and his face was pale.

He no longer said anything harsh because he knew that these people might really do that and throw him down from here.

At this moment, he thought a lot.

When facing the threat of death, most people will actually think about these things: the regrets in life, the beauty in life, and what they want to do but have not done yet.

Most of them are things like this, and they give rise to a strong desire to survive.

He turned and glanced at the director, looking at the filming equipment in his hands, he knew that this was something that would make him shut up completely.

He has to choose between death and dignity.

The male protagonist walked up to him and whispered, "I'll be careful."

"Fuck!", Serrik looked at him and said a swear word, but the male protagonist didn't seem to mind and just smiled.

"It seems that you have made your choice, so please enter the room..."

The producer was a little confused, "Then...what should I do?"

Lance said with a smile, "You and Serrick are lying on the bed together. The evil you have done will come back to you one day!"

Serick was half-supported and half-pushed into the room, and then the director followed him into the room with a bitter look on his face. As the three people's clothes were taken back and they were threatened by the black gunpoint, they finally let go no matter how reluctant they were...

Sometimes the more you want to do something, the less you can do it.

More than 30 minutes later, the director walked out of the room and said, "Next time you have a job like this, don't ask me to do it again."

The moment the door opened, there was a stench of feces. I don't know who did it.

But this is normal. After the sphincter is deceived, the intestines will produce an almost instinctive peristalsis, and if you can't control it, it will come out.

Serick lay on the bed with red eyes, he was crying, but the producer looked indifferent, and instead thought... this might be a good opportunity for him to go further.

After all, who else has this experience?

At the very least, no matter how badly he did, Serrick would keep him.

The male protagonist showed some... a bit of toughness, "We have done what you said, can we leave now?"

Looking at Serrick who remained silent and lowered his head, Lance smiled and made a gesture for him to go ahead.

"We can talk some more, but before that, you better go take a shower."

Lance fanned his hand in front of his nose, "It smells a bit."

In fact, neither the male lead nor the producer showed much emotional change, only Sellick had an expression as if his family had died.

But in the end, they accepted Lance's suggestion and stayed in the bathroom for a long time, using up most of the soap and shower gel, and even most of the free perfume.

Sitting back in the chair, Sellick felt a little uncomfortable. His butt was a little sore, so he could only sit half way.

"I have considered how to solve your problem. From my point of view, the destruction of your body is not the best option, but it is the easiest."

"I'm a person who hates trouble." Lance's tone was sincere, but he frowned slightly, and the strong smell of perfume was a bit pungent.

He asked Ennio to open the window and then lit a cigarette, as if that would make him feel better.

"Killing you will cause a lot of trouble, which means I have to deal with a lot of people."

"Your family, children..." Lance sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, his left hand across his chest, and his right elbow pressing on his left arm.

"You are different from ordinary people. Your family has the qualifications and power to seek revenge. In order to avoid trouble, I can only do that."

"And maybe your ex-wife?"

"And then there's her new family. We're going to get rid of a lot of people, and a lot of people are going to die because of you."

"Like I told you, I'm afraid of trouble."

“So I changed my approach.”

"I won't use this video to threaten you, but I hope that next time I see you in a place where Gerard appears, I won't let you show up."

"Otherwise, all federal people will know a shocking news!"

Seeing that Lance was about to say that, Serrick quickly said, "Stop it!"

“I will not be in Likalai State again.”

The terrible "local conditions and customs" here made him feel desperate and gave him a sore butt!
This was definitely the worst journey he had ever had. Jingang City and this... Valley City were so fucking terrible!

The police here don't do anything, the politicians don't do anything, and even the gangs don't fucking do anything!
Are you unwilling to take action against these people just because they are from Jingang City?
When did gangsters and politicians become so united in their choices?
However, Serrick did not give in completely. He looked at Lance and said, "You have caused the company to lose a large sum of money. The company will definitely find a way to hold you accountable."

"They will continue to sue you or try to recover their losses in other ways."

"I'm not threatening or being unconvinced. I'm just stating a fact to you. You've caused us to lose at least millions."

Lance waved his hand as if to shoo away a fly, "Your loss is only two or three hundred thousand at most. Don't tell me about this. I'm not interested in this."

"And you have to understand that you caused all this, not me."

"I hope all this can teach you a lesson, and make you understand that your social status and your power are not capital to do whatever you want!"

"There's always someone above you, Mr. Sellick!"

Lance stood up and said, "You can call the police, you can go to those politicians, you can even go to other gangs or killers, but my advice is, before you do these, use your brain to think carefully about whether you can afford the consequences."

"If we meet again, I hope you're standing instead of lying down!"

He walked to the door and Gerald handed him the hat on the hanger. Lance held the hat in his hand. "Goodbye, gentlemen."

The group left as cleanly and neatly as they came, and Serrick stood up immediately with a look of pain on his face.

"Damn, call an ambulance for me..." After leaving the hotel, Lance asked the director to keep the film well. The value of this thing is not actually the moment it is finally exposed.

Instead, it is hidden in some unknown corner. As people often say, the gun that has never been fired is the most threatening.

The scariest thing is the unused film.

Lance pointed a few young people to stay here, "You guys stay with the crew, maybe you can show up in the movie or something."

"Anyway, if someone causes trouble, beat them hard."

"If you can't do it, call us..."

He walked over to Jellal, "Next time you're in trouble, call me early. We're all brothers!"

Jellal hugged him, "Yes, we are all brothers."

Lance patted his shoulder, causing Jellal to release himself, "If anyone comes to trouble you, put everything on me."

He pressed Gerard's shoulder and said, "Keep doing your best. I look forward to the day when you become a big star..."

Lance felt that this matter might not be over yet, because now it was not just a matter between him and Sellick, but also a matter between Sellick, the leading actor, and the producer.

How could a celebrity allow two lackeys to know about his terrible deeds?

Not to mention that one of them was punched in the face together with him, and the other one punched him, he would definitely find a way to make these two people shut up.

I hope his moves are neater...

It was an easy errand, and after returning to Jingang City, Elvin told him that Lenny (Manager of the Jingang City branch of Liji Agricultural Group) had called him several times.

Lance called back.

"Mr. Lance?"

"Yes, did your discussion have a good outcome?"

Lenny's voice in the receiver was full of apology and regret. "I'm very sorry, Mr. Lance. Bridge is a commissioner sent by the headquarters, and it is difficult for me to change his decision."

"He has decided to have the company's legal department sue you, so... you must be prepared to defend yourself."

"To be honest, I have persuaded him privately, but he has shown strong dissatisfaction with the contract we have signed now, but if you are willing to make some concessions."

"He is willing to sign a new supply and marketing contract with you for 255 yuan on behalf of the company..."

Lance actually knew they would be like this. "So this is the final news you bring to me, right?"

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid that's the case."

Lance rejected his proposal directly, "No need to talk about it. I am disappointed in your integrity."

Lenny never took this kind of "attack" seriously. He had heard much harsher insults many times and in many different ways.

As a super agricultural complex with a monopoly position, although everyone is a federal citizen in terms of identity, he just feels that he is nobler than ordinary people.

"Then Mr. Lance, you'd better find a qualified lawyer. If you lose the case, you may not get a penny and you will have to pay us a large sum of compensation."

Lance didn't give him a good look, although he also knew that the decision on this matter lies with the company headquarters. "I hope you can still laugh in the future."

He hung up the phone after that, and Lenny looked at Bridge who was sitting next to him, "He said no, you heard it."

Now most of the contracts are done, only a few more difficult characters are left.

Lance is one of them. Until now, Bridget still doesn’t understand why Lance is so determined. The price of grapes will definitely skyrocket!

Unless he got some inside information, or really had a behind-the-scenes deal with someone in the company as he guessed.

But this is unlikely. If Lance is a capitalist or someone from one of the other two group companies, perhaps he still has this possibility.

But he is just a gang leader, does he know what futures are?

Does he understand what finance is?

So in the end, he still regarded this as a low-probability event. As for why Lance insisted on demanding five times the penalty, that was a mystery.

"If he doesn't agree, then don't agree. Arrange for a lawyer to sue him..."

He began to focus on other work. During this period, he completed 70% of the contracts for Jingang City, which made the board of directors of the head office very satisfied with his work results.

He has heard from his backers that the board is considering whether to make him a senior partner.

You can hold shares and even join the board of directors!
Just this time, he "recovered" at least tens of millions of dollars in losses for the company. It would be unreasonable if he was not given any reward for such a great contribution.

The more this happened, the more perfunctory his attitude towards Lance and even Lenny became, because these people did not interest him.

He needs to focus on higher things.

Lenny curled his lips as he looked at Bridge like this, a useful and ruthless tool.

However, for the sake of his colleagues, he still reminded them, "This is Jingang City. The gangs are very powerful. You have offended many people. You'd better be careful when you go in and out."

Bridge looked up at Lenny. He didn't know what he wanted to say originally. Maybe he changed his mind in the end. He finally said "Thank you for the reminder" and then lowered his head to immerse himself in his work.

At around six o'clock in the evening, Lenny glanced at Bridge who was still working and reminded him that he had already left work. However, he was met with questions like "Why did you leave work so early?" So he shut up and left the office.

Bridge was busy in the office until after eight o'clock, when he stretched himself and ended his work for the day.

After listing some data, he proposed some new ideas to the headquarters. Not only the grape contract should be completely terminated, but the contracts for other crops should also be completely terminated.

He analyzed the price changes in the market and referred to the intensity of the prohibition of alcohol in Jingang City. He believed that the price of grapes might exceed four hundred yuan instead of three hundred and fifty yuan.

Like other crops that can be used to make wine, there will be a significant increase, starting at at least two times, and perhaps three times or even five times.

These are the company's profits. If the company makes use of these profits, it will be able to achieve its expected profit target for this year before June, and the rest will be extra profits!
This will make Liji's stock popular in the market, thereby doubling the company's wealth value!
As for credibility?

For big capitalists, when reputation is worthless, they don’t care about it. Only when its price is higher than money will they care about it.

He wrote several pages of reports in a very eloquent manner and then planned to fax them to the head office.

But when he noticed that it was already late, he realized that there was no point in faxing at this time.

No one else was working on the empty office floor, but the bright lights were still on.

He would not feel fear because of this, but instead would feel a kind of... a feeling of pava that he couldn't describe.

It will give him the illusion that "I am the master here".

He walked past each desk, imagining that those people were still sitting in their seats, greeting him respectfully, and a smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.

Senior partner!
He stood in front of the elevator waiting for it, humming a rare tune.

As the elevator arrived and it took him to the first floor, Bridge's pleasure level reached its peak!
Jingang City is actually a very nice place with a rich nightlife, which is very suitable for a successful person like him.

Find a place to relax after a busy day on your way to becoming a senior partner in the firm.

"Mr. Bridge, do you need a car to take you back?"

The manager in the lobby on the first floor came over to greet him. As a specialist, Bridge naturally had some privileges.

He thought for a moment and said, "Okay, arrange a car for me..."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

Bridge stood at the door of the company and waited for about three or four minutes. Just when he was about to get impatient, the young man drove over himself.

"Mr. Bridge, the driver has already left, so I will take you there myself tonight. Where do you want to go?"

The young man's attitude made Bridge feel comfortable. He got in the car and said, "You must be more familiar with Jingang City than I am. Is there any fun place nearby?"

The slightly ambiguous tone had already revealed his thoughts.

The young man immediately said, "I know a great place with the most beautiful girls and the most beautiful wine..."
