Chapter 5 Get Down on Your Knees

“Charlie, send me the top-secret files on Jack Sawyer of Four Seas Corporation within five minutes,” he said calmly.

“On it, Mr. Jefferson! This will only take three minutes!”

Jack simply sneered in response to Alex’s threat.

There’s no way Alex would come work as a security guard if he truly is capable of going against me! Fine, I’ll wait a few minutes so I can watch him embarrass himself!

Jack wouldn’t be smiling if he knew about Alex’s true identity and his plan.

Being the true heir of the Jefferson family of the Northern Territory, Alex’s status and power were leagues beyond that of Jack’s.

He only worked as a security guard because he wanted to support a powerful organization in Nebula City, which would become his strongest line of defense when going against that woman.

About two minutes later, Alex received a new email in his inbox and let out a cold chuckle when he saw its contents.

“Mr. Sawyer, I suggest you take a look at this before deciding on whether or not you wish to go against me,” he said while handing Jack the phone.

Curious as to what Alex had in store for him, Jack took the phone over with a sneer.

However, the smile on his face was soon replaced with a look of fear when he saw the contents of that email.

He was so scared that his arms were trembling when he put the phone down.

“W-Who the f*ck are you?” he asked in a shaky voice.

Noticing the change in Jack’s tone of voice, the secretary turned around curiously.

She, too, shuddered when she saw how terrified Jack looked.

What? Mr. Sawyer is scared of this security guard?

The secretary’s jaw dropped in shock and disbelief at the thought of that.

James and Adam had been waiting at the front desk for quite some time, but Alex had yet to come back downstairs.

Adam was getting a little nervous at that point. “Alex hasn’t come down yet, Mr. Langdon. Do you think he might—”

“What are you worried about? I bet Mr. Sawyer’s bodyguards are beating him up as we speak! They’ll probably drag him out here soon!” James cut him off with a look of certainty on his face.

Even the managers wouldn’t dare confront Mr. Sawyer directly, so Alex is done for this time!

“That piece of trash is back!” Adam exclaimed while staring at the stairs all of a sudden.

James turned around, only to see Alex smoking a cigarette as he casually made his way down the stairs.

“Oh? Look who’s back! Did Mr. Sawyer agree to your request? You don’t look like you’ve taken a beating, so I’m guessing you didn’t even make it into his office, did you?” he asked with a mocking grin. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Adam, too, refused to believe that Jack would even entertain a piece of trash like Alex.

“It’s time for you to get down on your knees as promised,” Alex said while calmly blowing a mouthful of smoke at James’ face.

How dare he insult me like this?

Infuriated, James yelled at the top of his voice, “You’re just a worthless live-in son-in-law who can’t even keep his wife under control! Why don’t you just drop the act and admit defeat?”

Alex let out a mischievous snicker. “Drop the act? How about I have Mr. Sawyer come down here, so you can ask him in person about my wage, James?”

I’ll make sure James gets down on his knees and licks my shoes!

James laughed so hard that he nearly teared up when he heard that. “Have Mr. Sawyer come down here? Who do you think you are, Alex? You’re not fooling us with that act of yours!”

Adam chimed in as well, “This guy must’ve lost his mind after being cheated on, Mr. Langdon!”

With a sly grin on his face, Alex whipped out his phone and gave Jack a call.

“Come down to the front desk right this instant,” he said, and hung up the phone immediately after.

“Will someone get this guy an award for his acting skills?”

James and Adam were laughing their heads off.

Does he really expect us to believe that he can summon Mr. Sawyer at will? Who does this guy think he is?

Alex simply kept quiet and continued puffing away on his cigarette.

A few minutes later, Jack could be seen running toward them in a hurry. The fact that he took the stairs shocked James and Adam even further.

What? Did this guy really call Mr. Sawyer? That’s impossible! That’s definitely impossible!

With that in mind, James walked up to greet Jack with a polite smile on his face.

“Good day, Mr. Sawyer!”

However, Jack ignored him and shoved him aside before running up to Alex.

“I’m here, Mr. Jefferson!” he said while bowing respectfully.

What the f*ck is going on here? Did Mr. Sawyer just address Alex as “Mr. Jefferson” and bow to him?

James and Adam were both dumbfounded.

Little did they know, the document that Alex showed Jack in his office earlier nearly scared him to death.

As Alex was able to gather evidence on all of Jack’s top-secret activities in the corporate world, Jack figured Alex must have some powerful organization backing him up.

In order to protect himself, he had no choice but to agree to Alex’s demands and transfer fifty-one percent of his shares over to him.

That resulted in him becoming a minor shareholder with only twenty percent of the company’s shares, which he only managed to keep after begging Alex for mercy.

Alex flashed Jack a sly smile as he said, “James here tells me that you want to deduct my wage.”

“I wouldn’t dare do that, Mr. Jefferson!” Jack replied in a trembling voice.

He then walked up to James and slapped him three times across the face.

Smack! Smack! Smack!

“I haven’t even held you accountable for firing Mr. Jefferson without my permission, you piece of sh*t! How dare you frame me for cutting his wage?”

James was completely stunned as he rubbed his swollen cheeks.

What is going on here?

Alex glared coldly at him as he asked, “What’s the matter, James? Shouldn’t you be getting down on your knees by now?”

James was trembling all over in fear as he finally realized how powerful Alex was.

He just couldn’t bring himself to understand how a loser who couldn’t even keep his wife under control could have someone powerful like Jack at his beck and call.

“Come on, hurry up! Get on your knees!” Jack urged him angrily.

James went deathly pale as he fell to his knees in front of Alex.

Thud!
