Caleb waved his hand. “Your father went to prison by this man’s hand. As his nephew, avenging him is the least I
can do. Therefore, you don’t have to thank me.”
“All you need to do is sit back and wait for Zeke’s shares to be transferred back to you.”
Jacob nodded promptly. “Very well. I’ll be looking forward to hearing good news from you.”
With that, Caleb left the meeting.
The suppliers and distributors began to flatter Jacob.
“Mr. Hugh, your business network is so extensive that you even have a relative in Chase Bank.”
“Chase Bank is one of the four largest factions in Northania. Even Hades, who rules the underground in Rivermouth
State has to acquiesce to them. With such a powerful organization acting against Zeke, he is undoubtedly finished.”
“Mr. Hugh, once Mr. Williams is out of the way, I’m sure we can reopen the discussion on our cooperation...”
Reagan Pharmaceutical was a cash cow to them. Every year, their profits from Reagan Pharmaceutical ran into
tens of millions.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt could be said that Reagan Pharmaceutical alone is responsible for all of their livelihoods.
If they really lost their contract with Reagan Pharmaceutical, all of them would go bust.
Jacob smiled and reassured them, “Don’t worry. Once we have gotten rid of Zeke, your contribution would not be
forgotten.”
“Going forward, the cooperation between our companies will continue. Also, all of you will receive additional
benefits.”
Delighted, everyone began to thank Jacob.
In less than an hour, Chase Bank had sent in two billion and Jacob distributed all of it away.
Of course, the actual amount owed to the suppliers and distributors were lesser than that. But accounts could be
easily forged.
Meanwhile, Zeke and Susan were on their way back to Linton Group.
Looking out the window, Susan didn’t say a word as she was deep in thought.
As Zeke opened the car window and threw his cigarette butt out, he asked, “What are you thinking of?”
Susan replied, “Mr. Williams, I still feel that the loan from Chase Bank is part of a plot.”
“You really should have taken a closer look at the contract.”
Zeke grinned, “I can easily imagine what the content in the contract is. There’s no need to be so detailed.”
While they were speaking, he threw Susan a copy. “Why don’t you read it yourself.”
Susan eagerly pored over the contract and scrutinized its every detail.
After a while, she mumbled, “The interest isn’t as high as expected. It’s only a little higher than a bank’s.”
“Wait, this...this is an S-Class emergency loan. Based on my understanding, such loans are expedited and only have
a tenure of five days!”
“My God! There really is something fishy going on.”
Zeke furrowed his brows, “That’s longer than I thought.”
Huh?
Susan thought that Zeke had heard her wrongly. She quickly checked, “Mr. Williams, did you mishear me?”
“I said the loan tenure is five days, not five years.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmZeke nodded slightly. “Mm, I know. I expected it to be three or four days only.”
Susan was speechless as she wondered why Mr. Williams’ brain processes were different from a normal person.
Susan contended, “Mr. Williams, perhaps you don’t fully comprehend what this means.”
“In five days, we will have to pay back Chase Bank 2.5 billion.”
“Now that the funds would have all been given out by Jacob, where would we find so much money to pay Chase
Bank back?”
“Chase Bank itself is more terrifying than our suppliers and distributors. It would have been better to be at odds
with them instead of Chase Bank.”
Zeke smiled and reassured Susan, “Don’t worry, I’ll beat them at their own game.”
Susan was confused as to how it was even possible.
Zeke whipped out his phone and called an unknown number.
“Hades, if I recall correctly, you mentioned that you had your emergency funds placed with Chase Bank?”
“No, I’m not borrowing money... That’s right, I just want to invite you for tea.”
“Five days later at Linton Group, I’ll prepare this exotic tea I got from the far east. I can’t wait for you to try it.”
