Chapter 38: This Means War

"Let me speak first." Irina tried to mediate between them both and asked Ryan, "Ryan, did you embarrass Eric earlier?"

Ryan laughed, "Shame on you. How could I do that? I was well acquainted with this brother, but he treated me badly. Now that he's saying I was doing something mean to him, he really is sadistic."

Ryan showed a gloomy face, "Mrs. Irina, I hope you are not biased towards this either."

Irina immediately frowned. She thought, 'Why are you doing this? Don't you see I'm reconciling you?'

"Ryan! Explain what you have done downstairs!" Irina raised her voice.

"I'm not doing anything." Seeing that Irina was angry, Ryan pretended to be shocked, "Seriously. I didn't do anything. If you don't believe it you can ask the employees downstairs."

"Can you explain what happened?" Irina gave up asking Ryan and turned to Eric.

Eric then took a deep breath and said. "He made my pants sag."

"Liar! I didn't touch you at all." Ryan replied, "I wasn't around you at all before, do you have any evidence that I did?"

Irina then looked at Ryan coldly. She saw that Ryan's face showed no remorse and said, "Ryan, apologize to Eric."

'I am sorry?' Ryan smiled bitterly. God of War Nergal must apologize to mortals? Even if he was at fault why should he apologize? Besides, it was Eric who intended to snatch his wife from him, so why should he apologize to a homewrecker?

An idea then popped in Ryan's mind. He approached Irina and lifted her chin, "Beautiful Miss Irina, do you want to make me apologize from the bottom of my heart?"

At Ryan's words, Irina was afraid that Eric would find out their relationship. But after glaring at Ryan, her husband let go of his hand and she breathed a sigh of relief again.

"Making me apologize isn't free." Ryan smiled mischievously after saying that. He pulled Irina into his arms and kissed her!

What!?

Eric could only be stunned at what just happened in front of his eyes. Ryan was seen playing with his tongue inside Irina's lips. The woman tried desperately to push him away, but her human strength was powerless before Nergal. After ten seconds, Ryan released Irina and laughed, "Smells good as usual."

"You...! You son of a bitch!" Eric was furious. He approached Ryan and lifted his collar.

"Are you looking for a fight?" Ryan immediately responded to Eric's action by pushing him slowly.

"Ryan!" Irina immediately slapped the table to stop them both.

"Irina! Quickly, fire him!" Eric could not stand it anymore, the kiss scene also added to his embarrassment.

Irina was really angry too. Ryan was acting too much this time. If it weren't for Eric here she might have slapped Ryan.

Seeing Irina's angry expression, Eric felt that the man he grabbed was finished, 'Irina get ready to be mine!'

When Irina wanted to scold him again, Ryan coughed twice and lowered his head while softly saying, "Hmmm, our contract is still valid."

Irina immediately fell silent. This bastard instead threatened her by calling a contract. No men in this world could annoy her more than he did.

"Huh? What contract?" Eric could vaguely hear it too.

"It's my secret and the owner of this company, Mrs. Irina Hagrim. You are just an outsider and have no right to know." Ryan smiled again. He then whispered in Irina's ear, "Our contract is still not finished, you are my woman!"

Ryan's statement was very firm!

Irina's face turned white and Eric could only see the two of them whisper, 'Their real relationship is...?'

'Not! Impossible!' Eric shook his head, there was no way that could happen. He had already confirmed that Irina was single. This couldn't be wrong.

Seeing that Irina did not comment on anything, Ryan then said, "Looks like our leader has resolved this matter with a wise decision. Mr. Eric, forgive me for seeing your pants sag."

"You!" Eric was about to explode. It seemed he had to re-investigate the relationship between the two people. At least he had succeeded in forcing this man named Ryan to apologize, and made him smile with pride.

"When everything is finished, I'll leave first. This new perfume development, I cannot leave it at will." Ryan said with a serious face. Then he casually went out of the room.

"Irina ..." Because there were only the two of them, Eric called Irina in a more relaxed tone. He was about to ask but Irina prevented.

"The problem is resolved and I hope you can return to work diligently."

Hearing Irina's orders, Eric could not fight her at all. He also knew that even if he asked, he wouldn't get anything.

After leaving the room, Eric was greeted by the worst man he had ever met.

"Stop!"

However, Ryan seemed to pretend not to hear him and continued walking. Eric immediately caught up with him and tapped him on the shoulder, "I said stop!"

This time, Ryan turned and saw that Eric was the one tapping him on the shoulder. Then he said with a smile, "Oh, Mr. Eric. I'm sorry I didn't hear you. I thought that it was a fly passing by, but it was you."

Eric was a little angry to hear that but he managed to control his emotions, "What is your relationship with Irina Hagrim?"

"My relationship?" Ryan said hesitantly.

"Yes, your relationship with Irina." Eric glared at Ryan, "Is that a husband and wife relationship?"

"My relationship with Irina is my business, not yours." Ryan said with a firm face, "You better take care of yourself before disturbing other people's lives."

Seeing Ryan trying to run away, Eric intercepted him again, "You have to explain it clearly to me."

Eric glared at him, "If you don't explain it to me, I will leave this company!"

A glimmer of cold light flashed across Ryan's eyes, then he said with a smile, "Do you really want to know?"

"Of course."

"Alright, I'll tell you."

Eric put his ear close and felt happy. But suddenly, Ryan threw a punch to his nose.

"Screw you! If you dare to trouble or chase my wife again, it won't just be your nose that'll be broken!" Ryan said as he kicked him. Eric could not withstand Ryan's kick because he was busy moaning in pain of his broken nose. He groaned in pain as he rolled on the floor.

He was confused because he was the personnel manager at this company, and yet he got beaten by his subordinates.

"You want to know my relationship with Irina, right? Keep this in mind, she is my woman! She is my wife!" Ryan kicked Eric again, who had fallen on the floor.

Of course, Ryan greatly reduced his strength. Otherwise, only Eric's shoes would remain.

"You want to know what else? Here I will explain everything." Ryan then lifted Eric's body and threw a punch to his stomach.

"Keep this in mind, if you dare to touch or chase my woman again, I will cut off your little genitals." Ryan said, slapping Eric.

Sadistic!

After 'exercising' a little, Ryan sighed.

"I hope you understand after this incident." Ryan then sat Eric in a chair in the hallway, "Remember never to chase Irina again. If I find out you're still trying, just watch out. For now, you better go to the hospital to take care of your wounds."

Eric felt his whole body was in pain. When Ryan's figure disappeared, his gaze was filled with resentment. He bolted outside and headed for the men's toilet.

"Hello, is this brother Örn? It's me Eric. Last time we met while we were drinking at the bar, do you remember? Yes, it's like this. I need your help to teach someone a lesson but don't kill him."

Eric phoned someone to help him tonight. He seemed to have bargained for the price for the upcoming attack he planned.

"Oh, don't worry. This guy doesn't have any political backing. He's just a colleague from my company. OK, we agree! I asked you to bring some extra people, because I heard he is good at fighting. By the time you finish beating him up, I'll give you 25 million at that time."

Eric then hung up the phone. His eyes were still filled with revenge, 'Ryan… Look I'll show you who is in charge!'
