Chapter 134 - CHAPTER 134: YOUR BLOOD BE ON YOUR HANDS

"You!" A rotund middle age man suddenly entered the board room angrily. The guards were trying to stop him but he threatened and shouted raucously at them. 

"You don't have the right to remove me from my post! The chairwoman would not approve of this!" He flared up as he walks towards the CEO. 

"Mr. Hanes, what did I do to merit such injustice!" 

"Why don't you tell me what you did, instead?" He looked at him condescendingly. 

"Did you fire me because I am late? Mr. Hanes, I am at a meeting with the Japanese clients and you know how important that is for the company!" 

"Where you?" Marcus asked. 

The old man staggered a little. 

"Director Walsh, are you sure you were at a meeting with the Japanese clients just a while ago?" Marcus asked again. 

"Of course!" He didn't hesitate to lie in front of the other directors. 

Hearing him justify his lie, Marcus raised his other brow. "Tsk!" He hissed. "Mr. Walsh, I am thinking of giving you a chance to redeem yourself, maybe you can still maintain your position in the company but you just wasted it." 

"Chance to redeem myself? And why should I do that? I am innocent!" He roared. The board members went silent, no one dared to speak a word. At this time, no one wants to take director Walsh side since they all know he's doomed. 

"Sonny, please tell this old man where and what he was doing while the other members gathered here." Hearing this, Sonny pressed some buŧŧons on his phone. After a few seconds, the big projector screen light up. As soon as the video played, everyone's eyes were pinned on the big screen. 

In the video, Director Walsh can be seen playing golf with three middle aged men. Crisp laughs are heard while the three men tries to please the old man. 

He looks and talks arrogantly as if he was the owner of Enchanteur Chemicals. He could have justified his actions but before the video ended, a mocking comment about Marcus resonates in everyone's ear. 

"Don't worry, Marcus is nothing! I am the true power inside Enchanteur! Even that old chairwoman cannot do anything against me." Then he laughs proudly at himself. 

"T-that… Who took that?! I am being framed here!" Director Walsh looked at the board members one by one. "Who among you stabbed me behind my back!" 

"Mr. Walsh, its not a question of who did what, the real question is, are they the Japanese investors you were talking about?" 

The man couldn't utter a word. The scrutinizing gaze of Marcus rendered him speechless and an unknown fear galloped within him specially when his eyes landed on the golden dragon pendant the young man was wearing. 

Of course, director Walsh knew about all those secrets because he is under the protection of the underworld society! But he once saw that dragon pendant elsewhere. He heard that those who own one were the real big shots in the underworld society. 

It was a big deal for Walsh, but knowing how young Marcus was, he expelled his thoughts about the golden dragon symbol. It may just be a mere coincidence. A young man won't be able to obtain one despite how good he is, how much more is this weak young man who only relies with his grandmother's wealth. 

"Mr. Walsh, correct me if I am wrong but aren't they from your family line?" 

"Mr. Hanes, why don't you tell me exactly where you're getting at? Now that your grandmother is in coma, are you trying to get rid of me?" 

"You did that to your own self, Walsh. Now, would you mind getting out because as you know, we have an important meeting now and outsiders are not allowed here." He voiced discriminatingly. 

"You!" The old man clenched his teeth in annoyance. "I will never forget this day! I'll make sure you will regret this young man!" He turns around and dash towards the door. But before he got out. Marcus' final words blew him away. 

"Sonny, make sure to do an internal cleansing after this." 

Those words were address to Sonny but the old man understood that it was truly meant for him.  Damn it! He clenched his fist and looked at the young man with loathe. 

'Just so you wait, young man… Just so you wait. I shall not die without seeing you and your family in misery!' He cursed before leaving the room. 

The board meeting went smooth after the two's arguments. No one even dared to talk back nor go against Marcus' plans. They were like a tamed lamb who nods and agrees whatever the young man says. 

The meeting was adjourned after two agonizing hours. Finally, the other directors were able to breath normally while going back to their own offices. 

Marcus went straight of his office. Opening the door and smelling the fresh scent of lavender flowers calms his mind. Then some certain memories came flashing in his brain. 

Isn't this Jade's scent? He thought when a sweet compelling perfume came across his smell. 

Jade! He looked around not knowing why he was hoping to see his sweet little rabbit. To his dismay, a young lady is indeed walking near him but it is not the person whom he wants to see so bad. 

"Good morning, Mr. Hanes. How have you been? It's good to see again." Zenia's face lit upon locking gaze with Marcus. Her smiling face couldn't hide the happiness she was feeling at the moment upon finally seeing Marcus after such a long time. 

Marcus nod conservatively but didn't answer Zenia's question about his wellbeing. Instead, he ask her about his scheduled works for the day. After Zenia handed a folder, Marcus went inside his room at once. He's been out for months not knowing what's happening to the company his grandmother treasured for a long time. He could only rely on Sonny's performance to keep the company running.

And yeah, Sonny didn't disappointed him. 

"Any news about the woman yet?" Barry asked the young woman whom he ȧssigned to look for Jade. 

The young woman didn't say a word but she handed Barry a file. He raised his brows but opened the files anyway. Seeing the content made him laugh to his hard content. 

"This is it! This is it! You did a good job!" Barry praised the young woman. Alas! After how many months, his works and money paid off. 

Results are what he wants not promises. He dismissed some of his men because of their incompetence, good thing this young woman owes her life to him and now she's paying it off with her loyalty. 

"Good job. Now you may go." He waved his hand and motioned the young woman to leave the room. As soon as the lady exited, he took his phone and dialed another number. 

"How are they doing there?" He asked. 

"They're planning to return to the country by next week, sir." The man reported. 

"Oh really?" He sneered evilly. People really has limitless ambitions. They just can't be contented with what they have or what they have given. He thought after ending the call. 

"So you've decided to go against me, huh. Okay, your choice. But this time, your blood be on your own hands." Barry let out an evil grin before laughing mockingly.
