Semua Bab Living With My Lady Boss: Bab 421 - Bab 430

Besides, Maniac had been competing with Joel in secret for a while now.Between the two of them, Maniac had control of the underground circle and ran a few businesses on the black market.Meanwhile, Joel was the top dog of the trade industry as a legal businessman. As such, both men were on considerably equal grounds. However, Joel was far, far richer than Maniac.If Joel died and Viewspring Corp collapsed, Maniac would be the only person eligible to take over all of Joel's businesses. He would then run both sides of Anya City. By then, no one would be a match for him.Wilbur looked at Maniac one last time. "Would I need to lie to you? Report to me every now and then. I've left my number and address on the table."Maniac watched as Wilbur left, and he began to pace about the nightclub, seemingly oblivious to the pain from his bruises.Wilbur's power was undeniable. He would definitely be able to hold the authorities down.After all, Maniac himself was connected to some of the pe

Wilbur glanced at Chester. "Don't get all worked up. I can handle this myself, so why would I need your help?"Walter immediately panicked when he heard what Wilbur said. He had used up all his connections to get Chester to agree to help Wilbur. However, Wilbur had offended him just like that. If this were to go on, Ethan might even die a more painful death.Wilbur was rich, wasn't he? Why was he so flaky when it came to making decisions?Chester sneered coldly. "Since you don't want my help, I won't give you any. You're going to have to pay me my appearance fees though.""What do you mean by that?" Wilbur asked, confused.Chester said, "Regardless of whether or not you end up using my help, I charge ten million dollars for every talk I'm invited to have. These are my rules, and you're going to follow them. Got it?""Is that the case?" Wilbur turned to look at Walter.Walter broke out into a sweat. Chester had not mentioned any of that before. However, Walter had also not expect

At last, Joel finished letting out his anger and collapsed onto the sofa as his chest heaved.A long while later, he seemed to calm down enough as he lit a cigarette and fell deep into thought.Eventually, he called out, "Jar!"Jar Wattmen, Joel's secretary, hurried inside from where he had been hiding, trembling from head to toe. "Yes, Mister William? What can I do for you?""Call Borghetti. Tell him I need to see him. It's urgent," said Joel.Jar immediately whipped out his phone and did as he was told.Joel's expression was ashen then as he fumed, "How dare you do this to me, Maniac. Well, I won't be playing nice either. Don't fault me for that."Just then, over at a random building.A crowd of property owners was gathered in front of the sales department, protesting at the top of their lungs and waving flags demanding that their properties be handed over to them on time and their losses be compensated.It had been three years overdue, and none of the property owners had re

Maniac cast a look of disdain at Joel. "They're someone you can't afford to mess with. This isn't something you can pay your way out of, so forget about it."Joel flew to his feet when he heard that. His tone was sharp as he said, "I'm not scared of you, Maniac! I could hold you down back then and I still can.""It's true that you used to be able to hold me down." Maniac got to his feet, staring right at Joel. "But you're dead this time and you're paying in your own blood. Got it?"Joel paused for a while before saying, "This is about Ethan Osborn, isn't it?""No comment." Maniac leaned back in his chair, taking another sip of whiskey.Joel sneered. "Don't you forget about Mister Taft, Maniac. You're an idiot if you think you can run Anya City with him around."Joel turned to leave after that. Maniac's expression shifted slightly.After Joel was gone, Haley asked softly, "Who's Mister Taft? Is he really powerful?"Maniac got to his feet, pacing to and fro in the office before s

Mister Taft fell silent for a while before saying, "What's the matter?""Mister Taft, the company my father founded is on the brink of collapse. Please, Mister Taft. I need your help.""I don't know how to run a business.""Let me explain, Mister Taft. It's Maniac. He's been taking over Anya City and doing whatever he wants to ever since you went into solitude to cultivate. My son was just beaten to death, so I sent his killer to prison. However, Maniac's been using that as an excuse to attack me, and I'm now on the verge of bankruptcy. Please help me, Mister Taft. I've been incredibly wronged.""Is that so?""Yes, it is. There wasn't much Maniac could do to me before, but I think he's got someone supporting him in secret this time. Even the authorities are staying out of this. Maniac's been wreaking havoc everywhere he goes and taking advantage of his power as an Aura level cultivator. I don't know what else I can do.""Aura level? Ha ha ha ha!" Mister Taft barked out a laugh, s
