"I've already informed Ariya that she failed the interview. She refused to leave, so I tore her clothes! And I've already paid compensation! As for your daughter, she rushed at me to attack, but I didn't hit her hard; I showed her a lot of consideration!" Pola sounded increasingly shrill, like a quarrelsome shrew.
Inside, she was boiling with anger. Talon was just a deadbeat wanderer, and he dared question her?
"Nonsense!" Nightwing suddenly erupted with killing intent, ready to act, but Talon stopped him with a hand.
"If I'm not mistaken, the chairman of Yuvi Group should be Leo Vance," Talon said suddenly, after a moment of thought.
"At least you have some insight!" Pola sneered, not understanding why he brought it up.
"Brat, I advise you to give up. If our chairman learns that Ariya is trying to steal the group's secrets, you won't be able to leave! I'm not scaring you. The chairman is worth hundreds of billions. Killing you is as easy as killing cockroaches!"
Talon took out his phone, dialed a number, and said icily, "I'm in your company's interview room. I expect you to come down within five minutes and give me a reasonable explanation!"
"Slap!"
After speaking, Talon hung up the phone directly without giving the other party a chance to speak.
Everyone present was stunned. It seemed Talon was calling Leo, but ...how could someone like Talon, a wanderer, know the chairman of Yuvi Group?
Pola was also stunned, then asked, "Who did you just call? Our chairman?"
"Is it strange that I have Leo's number?" Talon's mouth curled into a cold smile. If Ariya hadn't warned him not to escalate the situation, Pola would already be dead.
"Hahaha, did you all hear that? He actually said he called our chairman!"
Pola laughed uncontrollably, and the other job applicants also started laughing.
"Who are you? Do you think you're worthy to contact him? Not to mention you, even I have to make an appointment to see him. Only a few people in our company know his phone number!"
Ariya hesitated. It was normal for Talon to know some executives if he founded Skysoar Group. But the tone Talon used when talking to the chairman seemed inappropriate.
With that, she pulled Maisy to Talon's side and tugged at his sleeve. "Let's leave now..."
"Leave? None of you can leave now!" Pola blocked the door, her eyes full of sarcasm.
"You're stealing our group's secrets and causing trouble. We have enough reason to lock you up!"
"Talon, this..." Ariya was anxious, looking at Talon.
Talon's smile did not fade. Before he could speak, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a man hurriedly entered.
The man saw Talon and immediately began to tremble with excitement, tears streaming down his face before he could speak.
"Mr... Mr. Vance?" Pola's mind was buzzing. It was really Leo! How did he get here?
"Mr. Stormy!"
Leo completely ignored Pola and, in front of everyone, actually bent down towards Talon.
"Sir, it's been three years since we last met. I've been searching for you! If it weren't for you three years ago, I would have died in South Africa, and there would be no Yuvi Group today! Please accept my bow once again!"
Leo bowed and thanked Talon sincerely.
Three years ago, Leo didn't have such a big company. During an outing, he accidentally offended some mercenaries in South Africa, who chased him for three days and nights.
Just as they were about to catch him, Talon appeared with the Dragon Nest army. The precise and orderly movements of that army left a deep impression on Leo.
"Leo, don't bow to me. You are now all mighty and high."
Talon didn't even look at him, his hands behind his back as he sneered. "We're just here to steal secrets and cause trouble. Have your guards arrest us."
"Mr. Stormy, what do you mean by that? Who is slandering you?" Leo's heart tightened upon hearing this.
He had witnessed the ruthlessness of the Dragon Nest army and knew that Talon was definitely not someone he could afford to offend.
"Mr. Stormy, my group is basically yours. With you here, what secrets could be stolen? I never meant to suggest that you are making a scene!"
"Oh? Is that so?"
Talon turned his gaze to Pola and said icily, "Your Ms. Stevens didn't say that. She called my wife useless and my daughter a bastard."
Leo's eyes burned with such murderous intent that it seemed like he could burn Pola to ashes! 'You ungrateful wretch! I promoted you out of goodwill, and now you've caused me this enormous trouble! Insulting Talon's wife and daughter—this was practically seeking death!'
Pola hurriedly explained. "Chairman, please listen to me! This person is Ariya from the Willis Group. She came here for an interview, clearly with bad intentions! I..."
"To hell with you!" Leo got up from the ground and slapped her with all his strength.
Smack!
Leo put all his force into that slap, causing Pola's nose and mouth to bleed and her cheeks to swell up terribly.
"You dare insult Mr. Stormy? I'll make sure you regret it deeply! Claiming Mrs. Stormy is here to cause trouble? You're out of your mind and asking for trouble! Security, take her away and show her how to speak properly!"
As soon as Leo finished speaking, two bodyguards came over and grabbed Pola to drag her away.
"No, Chairman Vance! Please don't!" She struggled against the bodyguards' grip, begging Talon. Her previous arrogance had vanished, replaced by tears and desperation.
"Mr. Stormy, I was wrong. I was terribly wrong! Please, I beg you, give me one more chance. I promise I won't make the same mistake again! Please..."
Watching Pola wailing, Talon remained indifferent. "I can forgive you for slandering me, but as I just said, you also hit my daughter. How do you plan to settle this?"
What!?
Hearing this, Leo was really about to kill her. 'She even harmed Talon's daughter? This is practically seeking death! And trying to drag me down with her!'
"Take this woman away. You know what to do!" Leo ordered icily.
"Yes!" The bodyguards came over again and took Pola away.
Pola was completely panicked, almost crawling to Ariya's feet, constantly bowing and hitting her head until blood flowed from her forehead!
She pleaded. "Ariya, I'm sorry. Please forgive me. For the sake of our past as classmates, for the four years we spent together, please show mercy and let me go! And for your daughter, I'm willing to pay compensation. Please, please..."
Seeing Pola in such a sorry state, Ariya felt uneasy.
If she hadn't caught Maisy when Pola pushed her earlier, Maisy might have crashed into the table!
"Pola, I don't want to stay in the Willis family anymore. That's why I'm here looking for a job. Why wouldn't you even give me a chance to speak?" Ariya said with a complicated expression.
"It was out of jealousy! Back in college, you were the top of the whole department, and there were a whole battalion of boys chasing you! Even the guy I liked always followed you around! Now that we've graduated, and I've finally climbed to this position, how could I let you come and ruin it!?" Pola said with grievance.
Then she changed her tone. "It's all my fault, please forgive me, forgive me..."
Pola's voice was hoarse as she exposed her evil thoughts, humbling herself to the point of having nowhere to hide.
