“That’s impossible!” William refused immediately. “The chairman isn’t going to listen to my orders. I can’t do this.”

Adrian was immediately going to use Franco as a threat, but he changed his mind when he suddenly thought of something.

“Okay then. I can make do with being the deputy general manager for now, but you have to pick me up in your car and ferry me there personally to prove your sincerity.” Adrian made another request in a leisurely manner.

William took a deep breath. “Where are you? I’ll go pick you up now.”

“Palm View Estate. Call me again when you’re here!” With that, Adrian hung up right away.

William held his phone with a sullen expression and then turned around to say to Franco, “I’ve already contacted Adrian Hill, and I’m going to pick him up now. Can you...”

“Get lost!” Franco hollered to interrupt William.

“Get the man here before you talk to me. Now get lost immediately!” Then Franco once again kicked William, causing him to fall to the ground. This time, the skin of his palm was scraped.

William was covered in mud and dirt, and his face and hands were stained with fresh blood. He looked extremely disheveled.

Seeing Franco refusing to compromise, William had no choice but to turn around immediately and go pick up Adrian.

He drove quickly so that he could bring Adrian to the warehouse and get the matter resolved as soon as possible, lest the company incurred major losses.

Unfortunately, even if William drove as quickly as he could and rushed to the entrance of Palm View Estate, he wouldn’t get to see Adrian.

Because Adrian was actually sitting in a car right across the road from the large warehouse at this moment!

Not only had he seen everything that just happened, but he also felt particularly pleased when he saw William getting beaten up.

Only after making a fool out of William and forcing him into a state of desperation would he appear and see how William would beg him!

As Adrian thought about this, he restarted the car and drove to somewhere else.

At this time, Lucas had just sent Cheyenne to her office and dropped Amelia off at the kindergarten. He didn’t have anything to do at the moment, so he thought of going to check on William and see if there were any more issues to handle at the branch office.

After he arrived at the Solar Corporation’s Orange County branch office, he was told that there was a major issue at the large warehouse near the harbor on the outskirts of the county and that William had rushed over with his secretary and a group of security guards to handle the matter.

Lucas frowned slightly and wanted to give William a call to ask about the situation.

But William happened to be on a phone call with Adrian when Lucas tried to call him, so the call didn’t get through. So Lucas decided to drive straight to the warehouse.

When Lucas arrived in his black Jaguar at the large warehouse, William’s and Adrian’s cars had just left one after another.

Lucas drove to a spot about a hundred meters away from the parking lot and acutely sensed that something was amiss.

Although it was his first time at the warehouse, he knew that Solar Corporation was a giant in the logistics industry, so there would definitely be numerous cargo trucks and busy workers at the warehouse at this time of day.

But there were now many vehicles at the entrance of the warehouse while the uniformed workers were crowding together in a spot far from the entrance, all looking terrified and panic-stricken.

Lucas drove his car a little closer, only to see more than ten roguish-looking and brawny men surrounding the entrance of the warehouse, as well as a burly man with a buzz cut and scars on his face sitting on a cargo box in front of the warehouse.

There were also twenty-odd security guards wearing the Solar Corporation’s uniform lying on the ground around him!

Lucas’s pupils abruptly constricted, and an icy cold gaze appeared in his eyes!

He had just learned from the staff at the office that William had gone to the warehouse to deal with an issue that had cropped up all of a sudden together with a bunch of security guards. Lucas reckoned that they should be the ones who were now lying on the ground.

Where’s William?

What exactly happened here?

Lucas immediately got out of the car and did a quick scan of his surroundings. He didn’t see William anywhere, but there happened to be someone standing nearby with anxiety all over his face. Lucas immediately recognized him. He went forward, grabbed his shoulder, and asked in a deep voice, “What exactly happened? Where is Mr. Carter?”

This person was none other than William’s secretary, whom Lucas had met for the first time yesterday at the Solar Corporation’s Orange County branch office.

Louis was incredibly worried about the situation, so when Lucas grabbed his shoulder all of a sudden, he was caught off guard and almost screamed on the spot.

After recognizing the person in front of him to be Lucas, he hurriedly patted his chest. He was surprised and overjoyed, as he felt he finally found a straw to clutch at. He hurriedly said to Lucas, “Mr. Gray! These people suddenly appeared at the entrance of the warehouse early this morning and blocked all the entrances and exits to stop our goods from being loaded and unloaded! Due to the severity of this matter, Mr. Carter and I immediately rushed here to deal with the situation, but the leader of the troublemakers was really aggressive and brutal. He refused to listen to us and even hit Mr. Carter!”

As soon as Lucas heard that William had taken a beating, his eyes were instantly brimming with terrifying hostility.

“Where is Mr. Carter?” Lucas immediately asked.

He was afraid that William had gotten into another mishap because he couldn’t see him anywhere.

“The leader kept saying that he wanted Adrian Hill to come here before he would negotiate with us, so Mr. Carter had no choice but to call Adrian Hill. However, Adrian Hill insisted that Mr. Carter go pick him up personally, so... Mr. Carter just left in his car a few minutes ago after telling me to keep an eye on the situation here,” Louis quickly explained.

“How are Mr. Carter’s injuries? Who are the people causing trouble?” Lucas continued to ask.

Louis answered with a worried expression, “Mr. Carter was slapped and kicked twice by the burly leader. He appeared to be in a lot of pain. This person... seems to be called Charlie Franco, who’s in charge of Snowflake Entertainment. He also works for the Taylors, and I heard that he’s a tough nut to crack! The security guards of our company tried to protect Mr. Carter, but Franco’s underlings beat all of them to the ground with iron rods. They should be heavily injured!”

Lucas glared at Franco coldly and sneered. “Hmph, you’re just a lackey of the Taylors. How dare you cause trouble and assault others on my turf?!”

Lucas didn’t keep his voice down, so his words spread far. Besides, he was now emitting a terrifying and cold aura, making Franco, who was sitting near him, immediately sense his murderous aura.

Franco instantly stood up from the cargo box and glowered at Lucas hostilely. He barked furiously, “Punk, do you have a death wish?!”
