NovelEnglishChapter 432 No Mercy at the Top +8 Pearls Half an hour later, the car arrived at the Astrovia branch office. By now, it was well past closing time.
Yet the Thorne Corp Astrovia branch building was still brightly lit from top to bottom.
Not a single employee had dared to leave.
Word had spread that a major financial scandal had crupted within the branch, and everyone was terrified they might get caught in the fallout.
As soon as Landon's car pulled up, the branch's general manager rushed out with a team of executives to greet him.
"Landon, welcome!" the GM greeted him with nervous reverence.
Landon glanced coldly at the group, a flicker of golden wolf eyes passing through his gaze. The sheer pressure of his alpha presence made the GM take a step back involuntarily.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLandon despised showy displays that tried to mask failures. If this man had focused more on the company's operations instead of putting on a facade, this mess might never have happened.
Without a word, Landon headed straight inside with Tessa and Nathaniel.
Despite the cold, sweat drenched the GM's back. The werewolf gland mark at the base of his neck flushed red with fear.
In wolf society, alphas who shirked responsibility were scorned. And everyone knew Landon, the Alpha King of Montedra, was anything but merciful.
Landon brought Tessa directly into the conference room.
Tessa stopped at the doorway.
"I'll wait outside while you handle business. This kind of high-level meeting must be confidential." "It's fine. Just sit next to me. You don't have to listen-play games or whatever." He didn't want her bored out in the hallway, and more importantly, he didn't want her out of sight.
"...Alright." Since he insisted, Tessa followed him in and sat beside him.
Soon, the room filled up with the branch's senior staff.
"This mess-do you have anything to say for yourself?" Nathaniel opened with a sharp glare at the general manager. This was one of the worst scandals in Thorne Corp's history.
The GM's voice trembled.
"Landon, ever since I joined the company, I've always worked hard... this situation... I-I never meant for this to happen..." He looked like he was about to cry.
If Alpha Landon held him personally responsible, it was all over for him.

"No achievements, but plenty of effort?" Landon finally spoke, his voice low and resonant with a distinctive werewolf tremor that made the conference room's glass hum with vibration.
Silence fell instantly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNo one dared to breathe loudly. A few low-ranking werewolves had their beast ears pop up in fear before quickly retracting into their hair.
"You caused this massive disaster, and you dare say that to me? I pay you tens of millions a year so you can avoid responsibility?" "Landon, I'm sorry! I swear I know I ed up!"
"That's enough. Go turn yourself in." That was the most mergy, he was willing to give. The GM collapsed to his knees.
"Landon, please-I'll be done for if I do that! I have a family, kids..."
"I'm telling you, Greg, do it yourself. If we handle it, you won't survive the consequences," Nathaniel warned him.
You make the company bleed like this, you pay for it.
"S-Sir, I..." "Security. Take him away." Nathaniel didn't waste another second.
No point wasting ton someone like him.
Several guards entered the room and escorted the general manager out.
The rest of the executives were drenched in cold sweat to stunned to speak No one dared make a sound.
