Chapter 1505
Charles looked at the few agents before fixing his eyes on Daniel. "President Edwards, | believe what | decide in
the end is none of your concern."
Daniel smiled cynically in response. "Well, we're friends, aren't we? We just can't bear seeing you being
disadvantaged on this matter, which was why we cto inform you.
What you just did truly hurt me. How could you treat our goodwill as malice?"
Since Charles could not read between the lines, he took Daniel's words at face value, gestured toward them
politely, and replied calmly, "I appreciate your kindness if that's the case. However, as | am ready to bear any
consequences of my own decision, | will admit defeat if it comes to that. It will have nothing to do with you all."
As soon as he said his piece, he was reluctant to spend another minute on the matter because he merely turned
around and was about to leave.

Daniel's expression changed immediately as he was not expecting that kind of response from Charles. Instead,
he quickly signaled to an agent standing next to him with his eyes.
The agent understood the hint and instantly stood between Charles and his path and spread his arms open.
"Stop right here!"
Charles frowned due to this person blocking his way. "What else do you want from me?"
The agent replied coldly, "Charles, we all agreed to terminate the contract with Cunningham Pharmaceuticals
when we cover together. That way, we will be able to get further discounts when we sign the contract with
Neverland Pharmaceuticals. Yet, you are now not following through with your promise and leaving us in the cold.
So, how are you going to settle your score with us?"
Charles’ facial expression beccold, knowing that the agent and the others would not let him leave if he did
not make things clear right now and then. "I only said | would cand see what the situation is. | don't recall
promising that | would cancel the contract with Cunningham Pharmaceuticals. Also, | haven't had any contact
with people from Neverland Pharmaceuticals. How can you expectto sign anything with them when | know
nothing? | must emphasize again that what | decide is my own choice. I'm afraid it has nothing to do with you."
The agent immediately becannoyed when Charles refused to submit to the peer pressure. "What the hell
are you talking about? Because of your selfish actions, we can't get discounts now! And you, standing there
talking all these bullsh*t as if it has nothing to do with you. Lettell you one thing that you won't like, Charles.
If you can't givea satisfactory answer today, you won't be able to fucking leave here unharmed!"
As soon as Charles heard that, his expression becfrigid. He turned to Daniel as he knew Daniel was the one
behind all this. "Are you tellingthat you will use force againstif | don't listen to you?" Daniel still had a
smile that didn't reach his eyes; he was unfazed by Charles’ aura and didn't bother to reply while the other
agents were staring at Charles aggressively. Just a glance at that situation was enough to indicate that they
would take action against Charles any second now.
Then, when things started to heat up, they suddenly heard a cold voice from behind them, "Everyone, look up.
You're still in the Cunningham Pharmaceuticals’ building, but you're causing trouble on my turf. Do you really
think that I, Matthew Larson, am incapable of killing all of you where you stand?"
As soon as Daniel heard that voice, he instantly knew who that was, and his placid expression changed
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmdrastically. He immediately turned his head, only to see Matthew sauntering toward them in the distance. The
other agents were panicking; the only reason everyone dared to threaten Charles to terminate the contract at
the underground parking lot was that it was secluded. Moreover, they did not think Matthew would be able to
spare any attention to what was happening here. Who would have imagined that he would personally investigate
the commotion happening here?
Daniel, who was trying to ease the situation for fear of Matthew, hurriedly replied, "Mr. Larson, this is all a
misunderstanding. You know, we are just old friends chatting here, but since you came, there must be something
else you want to do. So, we shall take our leave now, then. Let's have a drink next time!"
After Daniel blurted out those words, they could not wait for another second to leave as they dreaded Matthew's
capabilities.
Matthew merely gave them a wintry smile in response. "Daniel, you can leave, but that agent must stay.
Everyone knows Charles is a partner of Cunningham Pharmaceuticals, but he still dared to threaten Charles on
my turf. That's akin to insulting me, and if | don't take action against him, who else will still want to cooperate
within the future?"
Daniel knew things would not die down as he wished, and his face wore a ghastly expression when he looked at
the agent who acted under his order.
