"Hahaha!" Jack laughed and raised his eyebrows in disdain. "Do you want me to apologize to him? Do you know who I am? I'm the marketing manager of the Infinity Group. My status is way above you two!"
Smack!
Jonathan slapped Jack so hard that he crashed into the reception desk.
Jack clutched his bleeding mouth and spat out two molars. He screamed, "Are you insane? How dare you hit me here? You brought this on yourselves!"
He grabbed the reception phone and dialed security. "All of you, get your asses to the lobby right now!"
He hung up and glared at Jonathan with murderous eyes. "You're dead! You stirred up trouble at the Infinity Group. I'll break your limbs and throw you out."
Thud! Thud! Thud! In under five minutes, a dozen security guards stormed in with batons in hand.
"Mr. Olsen, who did this to you?" The security chief was stunned to see Jack's bloody mouth. 'A manager of the Infinity Group was beaten here. This is a failure of our security team. Who started it?'
Smack! Jack slapped the security chief. "Are you blind? It's those two! Beat them up!"
The chief stared at Jonathan and Benjamin and shouted, "Take these two down!"
The guards charged with their batons raised.
Jonathan spoke coldly, "Think carefully before you act. We're only here to meet someone. Making a scene won't be good for anyone."
The guards hesitated. They knew anyone bold enough to hit a manager wasn't ordinary. They had seen cases where staff offended big shots at the Infinity Group.
But Jack pushed through and kicked the chief's leg. "You cowards! Are you scared of him? He came to see Mr. Reed. What a joke! Break his limbs and see if he's still threatening."
Jack glared at Jonathan. "Brat, you'd better apologize. Otherwise, you're finished."
Jonathan chuckled and shook his head. "Are all of Simon's subordinates like you? I'm really disappointed."
"Don't you dare call Mr. Reed by his name! You're insane. Do you think Mr. Reed will let you off for this?" Jack roared.
Jonathan glared at the crowd calmly. "Apologize to me, or I'll tear this place down."
"Hahaha!"
The guards and Jack burst out laughing.
"Did he say he would tear this place down? Ridiculous!"
"Who is this i***t?"
"This is the Infinity Group, Yonderville's top company. Does he think he can tear it down? He's out of his mind!"
Jack smirked, "Alright, tough guy. Let's see how you tear this place down. If you don’t, I'll break your limbs!"
Jonathan shrugged and took the phone Benjamin handed him. "Deploy an armored squad and an engineer squad to the Infinity Group right now."
Hiss!
The crowd gasped. 'What? An armored squad and an engineer squad? He must be insane. That's the military!'
Even the receptionist looked at Jonathan mockingly. 'Who does he think he is? Does he really think he can mobilize the military with a single call?'
All the employees gathered, and everyone wore mocking smiles.
Mark and Sophia were among them. They had just arrived.
"Is that Jonathan?" Mark asked from a distance.
Sophia’s eyes were filled with hate. "Who cares about that loser? He probably offended someone. He deserves a beating. Let's go discuss the project."
Mark snorted. They had made an appointment, so they followed an assistant into the elevator.
Jack gloated, "Did I hear correctly? Are you trying to mobilize an armored squad and an engineer squad to tear this place down? Hahaha! Do you think you're the commander of the Yonderville military? This is ridiculous. Stop bragging!"
The guards gathered around and looked at Jonathan with disdain. They shook their heads and waved their batons. "Brat, you're asking for it!"
They closed in on Jonathan.
Boom! Suddenly, the sound of marching echoed from outside.
Someone in the crowd shouted, "Look! Is that an armored vehicle?"
"No way! There are eight of them!"
"And a hundred soldiers with shovels!"
Everyone was taken aback. They turned and looked out the glass walls. Outside, eight armored vehicles and over a hundred fully armed soldiers were assembling.
Within moments, the vehicles and troops lined up outside, awaiting orders. The crowd fell silent. Those who had just been mocking Jonathan stared at him with expressions of astonishment and even fear.
Jonathan had really summoned the military with a single call. What was his true identity?
A lieutenant entered and saluted Jonathan. "By Colonel Wellington's orders, the 8th Engineer Battalion is here, 112 strong. Awaiting your command, Mr. Parker."
Hiss! Gasps filled the lobby.
Jonathan nodded and glanced at Jack coldly. "Do you still think I can't tear this place down?"
