Immortal King

Chapter 59

"How dare you hit me?" Rona, covering her face, glared fiercely at Jack.

"You're too noisy," Jack replied calmly, as if he had just done something trivial.

A murmur of gasps spread among the onlookers, with several people commenting:

"This guy is bold. He even dared to hit Rona. Doesn't he know she's the department head?"

"Exactly, Chief Ann is known for being petty. This slap might lead to a severe retaliation!"

"Stop talking and just watch the show unfold!"

At this moment, Rona let out a sharp scream, pointing angrily at a nearby security guard. "Are you made of wood? I've been hit and you're just standing there! What good is a security guard like you? Do you believe I can have you fired right now?"

The security guard, startled, hurriedly said, "Chief Ann, wait a moment, I'll help you deal with him!" He immediately pulled out his communicator to summon all the security personnel in the building. Soon, Jack was surrounded by a swarm of security guards.

"Son, apologize to Chief Ann, and we might consider letting you go!" the head security guard sneered. Seeing so many of his colleagues arriving, he felt confident they could easily handle Jack.

Jack's frown deepened, his mood worsening. He had come to deal with the descendants of the Steele family and had no time to waste on these misguided security guards. Just as he was about to use force to deal with the situation, a stern voice interrupted.

"What are you all doing here during working hours? Do you no longer want this job?"

At the sound of the voice, the employees who had been watching scattered, leaving only the security guards, who looked at each other, unsure of what to do, standing there in confusion.

Rona looked at the newcomer with a nervous expression. "President Carter, why are you here?" She was about to complain about how Jack had bullied her when President Carter suddenly slapped her across the face.

"President, why did you hit me?" Rona stared in shock, feeling deeply wronged.

"Mr. Steele is a distinguished guest of mine. You harassed my guest. Wasn't this slap warranted?" President Carter said coldly. She then walked up to Jack, her expression calm, and said, "Please follow me." With that, she turned and walked towards the company.

Jack sighed, his emotions mixed, and followed quickly. Indeed, this President Carter was Lily Carter. He hadn't expected to meet her under these circumstances after the previous events.

"West Building is a property of the Carter family. If you wanted to come, you could have informed me in advance, and you wouldn't have been stopped by security." Lily said in the elevator, her tone calm and lacking the previous excitement.

Jack nodded but said nothing.

After a moment of silence, Lily continued, "I was unwise before and caused Mr. Steele trouble. I apologize."

"Lily, actually…" Jack began, but Lily raised her hand to stop him.

"Just call me President Carter. It's better for us to remain distant. Don't give me any more false hopes."

A short while later, the elevator reached the 20th floor. Lily took a deep breath and said, "You must be here to find members of the Steele family. Turn right after you exit. I have to get back to work."

"Okay, thank you, President Carter." Jack replied solemnly, then turned and left without looking back.

In the elevator, Lily bit her lip, tears streaming down her face.

Meanwhile, in a luxurious lounge, the three brothers were enjoying red wine with Edward.

"Dad, I've investigated thoroughly. The troops Jack brought were just hired actors. He's just a thug who served a few years in the army. His connections are the only reason people cooperated with him. Moreover, the real owner of Destroy Steele Group is actually Drake. I looked into it and found that Drake is likely from Long family in Swallow City. He helps Jack because they knew each other in the army."

"Haha, who would have thought!" Edward's eyes narrowed as he shook his head with a cold smile. "Our powerful Steele family was actually brought down by a fraud!"

"Dad, we only lost the company; the people are still here. Once we deal with Jack, the Steele family will rise again quickly!" Henry said confidently. "With the third brother back, the family's future strength will only grow stronger!"

"Alright, I'm old now. The future of the family is in your hands." Edward said, glancing at his third son. "Jerry, what's your plan? This is Carter family's territory. We can't stay here too long."

"Dad, I have a plan." Henry said with a smile. "The underground casino business we've been running in partnership with the Yates family has been ongoing. Tonight, we'll stay at the casino and use it as a starting point to relaunch the Steele family's fortunes!"

"Good." Edward nodded in satisfaction. Just as he was about to speak, a commotion was heard outside the door.

"Who's there? Stop right there!"

"Bang!"

The door was kicked open with a loud noise.
