King's Awakening

At his words, Thomas was livid, a roaring fire of anger blazing in his heart.

“Kid, don’t get too cocky too soon. Today, I admit defeat. But don’t think that means I’ll let you off. Everyone in Capital City who offends me, Thomas, never ends well,” Thomas threatened menacingly, trying to maintain his composure.

At this point, White Mitchell, as if completely ignoring Thomas’s words, was taking steps towards Thomas.

But at that moment, the office doors swung open behind the crowd.

Following that, a figure with wrath clearly etched on his face forcefully pressed his way through the crowd and appeared in front of everyone.

His name was Lincoln Robert, the cousin of Sana Robert, also the Deputy General Manager of the Robert Group. He had spent a lot of money to hire Thomas, aiming to weaken Sana’s influence in the Robert Group.

However, unexpectedly, a White Mitchell appeared out of nowhere. Even more unexpected was that Thomas was no match for him.

Fuck, this feels like a nightmare!

Lincoln cursed in his mind and, then, shot a hostile glare at White Mitchell.

“This Thomas, bragging all day about his abilities, can’t even handle this damn woman’s assistant. He’s not only a waste, he’s making me clean up his mess!” Lincoln was inwardly irritated.

But he knew very well that Thomas couldn’t be allowed to make a mess; otherwise, with Thomas’s personality, he would undoubtedly expose him.

If that happened, not only would he fail to weaken Sana’s influence, but his current position, too, would be at risk, potentially leading to his expulsion from the Robert Group.

With these thoughts running in his mind, Lincoln faked concern and said to Sana, “Sana, let’s just end this matter now. Given Thomas is from the White Horse Club, if we push him too far, it’s not going to end well for us.”

Upon hearing Lincoln’s words, Sana gave him a frosty look and retorted, “Mr. Lincoln, are you pleading for him? Are you saying you hired him? Do you worry he might expose your intentions?”

Wait a second…

Upon hearing this, Lincoln felt a cold chill run down his spine, but he maintained a calm facial expression and argued, “What nonsense! As Deputy General Manager of the Robert Group, why would I do anything unsafe?

I stepped in to try to mediate because I care about our company. Or are you saying you’ll only be happy if you completely offend Thomas? What good does that do for you?

Now that you’re acting as the chairman, don’t you understand what it means to consider the welfare of your employees? You might have people to protect you, but what about them? Who’s going to protect them?”

Lincoln’s words were loud and clear, full of righteousness and morality. He quickly turned the tide, making Sana look like the villain.

In the wake of his words, the employees standing behind Sana couldn’t help but expose their worried expressions.

It was clear that Lincoln’s accusations against Sana had taken effect. Although the employees didn’t dare to speak out loud, they definitely blamed Sana in their hearts.

Faced with this situation, Sana’s face turned gloomy. She hastily explained, “You’re slandering me. I did all this to figure out who’s undermining the Robert Group!

And you’re so eager to defend the people from the White Horse Club. Perhaps they actually are the ones you called to cause trouble.

I think you’re clearly feeling guilty!”

“Guilty?” Lincoln sneered, “I’m just thinking about everyone’s well-being. I wouldn’t risk the lives of our employees over some trivial matter.”

“Even if you find out who has been undermining our company today, what can you do?

Can you make the White Horse club back off? Do you dare to guarantee that they won’t retaliate against us? You’re just being selfish and treating us like we’re not human!”

Lincoln didn’t back down, and at this point, whispers started to emerge from the crowd. Although they were faint, Sana could still hear them.

“Yeah, Mr. Lincoln is right. If the White Horse Club can’t get to Sana, they will probably target us!”

“We’re just ordinary employees. We can’t compete with the White Horse Club. If something happens to us, I doubt Sana will be able to help us.”

“I didn’t expect Sana to be this kind of person. I used to think she was kind-hearted, but now she’s no different from those capitalists out there, disregarding us entirely.”

The whispers grew louder, clearly someone was deliberately stirring up this topic among the crowd.

For a moment, Sana’s face turned even colder.

The public opinion was extremely unfavorable to her at the moment. Now, even if she asked White Mitchell to let Thomas go, her credibility among her employees would be greatly affected.

If something were to happen to Cooper, with her current reputation, she wouldn’t be able to control her employees.

Then, she would probably end up being completely sidelined and ignored.

Thinking about this, Sana became more and more anxious.

But just as she was hesitating about what to do, a loud bang overshadowed all the murmuring.

Everyone instinctively shivered and quickly turned their attention towards the source of the sound.

The once confident and arrogant Thomas was now lying between Sana and Lincoln, looking utterly defeated.

As for White Mitchell, he walked calmly towards them, saying, “No need to worry anymore, I’ve made the decision for you.”

But at this moment, Lincoln, looking at Thomas’s pathetic state, was furious. He pointed at White Mitchell and cursed, “Fuck! Who told you to intervene, do you have any damn manners!

This is a matter of the Robert Group. Since when does it concern an outsider like you to meddle in…”

Snap!

Before Lincoln could even finish his sentence, the finger he pointed at White Mitchell was snapped by him.

AHHHH!!!

An ear-piercing scream escaped from Lincoln’s mouth. His face instantly contorted in pain as he shouted, “I’ll kill you! I swear I’m going to kill you!!!”
