Chapter 4 All Company Executives Gathered

• "Darius, be careful what you say at the supermarket. That William is a big shot around here, and the security guys are all gangsters. They're not easy to deal with," Kael cautioned.
• "Don't worry, I'm not a brute," Darius chuckled.
• At the supermarket office.
• "Are you the one who hit Kael?" Darius immediately demanded.
• "So what if I am? He is just a loser!" William sneered.
• Bam!
• Without hesitation, Darius delivered a punch straight to William's chest!
• Crack, crack!
• The crisp sound of a fractured sternum echoed through the room. Darius lifted William as if he were handling a chick, pressing him against the wall.
• "Hey, William, come here. Let me tell you something."
• William's scalp tingled, but he insisted, "My dad's a top exec at Wellmart Group. Who do you think you are?"
• Without hesitation, Darius slapped him across the face. "When I talk, you listen. Don't you dare talk back, damn it!"
• William covered his face in silence, intimidated.
• At that moment, over a dozen security guards wielding batons stormed in!
• William's confidence swelled instantly. He sneered, "You bastards, it is your time to beg for mercy. I will save your head!"
• But those guards were merciless. Without a word, they raised their hands to strike.
• Darius didn't hesitate. He swiftly kicked the lead guard's shin, dropping him with a loud crack. Then, a sidekick sent another flying to the left!
• In the blink of an eye, he grabbed a fire extinguisher from the office and swung it around in a wide arc!
• Bang! Bang! Bang!
• Each hit echoed fiercely. One by one, those guards grunted and collapsed to the ground.
• The office could have been a lot better.
• William was so scared that he peed himself!
• "Terrifying! Is this guy even human?"
• Darius remained calm. "You beat up my brother. You owe me an explanation."
• William stuttered, "Can't I just apologise?"
• "I won't waste words with you. 150,000 dollars! Get it for me, and we can call it even now."
• Darius casually picked up a fruit knife from the desk and pressed it against William's neck. The tip pierced his skin, and blood trickled down.
• William panicked. "I don't have that much money."
• Darius ignored him and grabbed his briefcase, rifling through it.
• Cash amounted to just over 150 bucks, but a BMW 5 Series car key was also available.
• "I'll take the car. Pay me whenever you can," Darius said.
• "How dare you!"
• A middle-aged man hurried into the office with over a hundred security guards trailing behind him.
• "Daniel!" William cried tears of joy.
• Daniel Sanders was the CEO of Wellmart Group's branch in Noverian City.
• "Young man, quite audacious, aren't you?" Daniel's gaze was piercing as he stared at Darius. "You just used your right hand to grab my nephew, right? Guards, restrain him and cut off his right hand!"
• No explanations are needed. They acted immediately.
• This was the power that belonged to Daniel.
• The footsteps echoed as over a hundred security guards surrounded Darius, packing the office so tight there was barely room to move.
• Darius smirked coldly. "You think you've got me cornered?"
• "And if not?" Daniel sneered back. "You dared stir up trouble on my turf; you should've expected the consequences."
• Darius made a quick call. "Your people surround me. If you're not here in three minutes, don't show your face in front of me ever again."
• "Woah, trying to intimidate people now, huh? Fine! I'll be right here waiting for you! In all of Noverian, let's see who can save you!" Daniel scoffed disdainfully.
• But before three minutes had passed, a dozen luxury cars were already parked outside the supermarket entrance! Rolls-Royces were the least of them!
• Vroom vroom! Several well-dressed middle-aged men exited the cars with anxious expressions, heading straight inside.
• As soon as these people appeared.
• Daniel was utterly stunned! It was Lionel Lance, the CEO of Wellmart Group! And there was Henry Hope, the Vice President of Wellmart! Even the CFO, the top finance guy of the entire group, was all here!
• "Mr. Lance, What brings you here?" Daniel stuttered nervously.
• Smack!!! A resounding slap landed on Daniel's face.
• Lionel scolded angrily.
• "I had to come; otherwise, you will not see the sun tomorrow!"
• "Before us stands the only Five-Star War God of Daeloria! Do you dare surround him with security guards? That's practically a crime deserving of punishment through generations!"
• "Get these two tied up and take them to the police station!" Lionel couldn't be bothered to waste words. He gave the order directly.
• In an instant, over a hundred Walmart security guards swiftly tied up the two and escorted them away.
• Outside, Kael watched the chaotic scene at the supermarket with bewilderment.
• "What happened here?"
• "Mr. Kael, right? I'm Lionel Lance, CEO of Wellmart Group."
• At that moment, Lionel emerged and warmly shook Kael's hand.
• Kael was instantly flattered and nodded respectfully, bowing slightly. "Mr. Lance. Hello, hello."
• "Your brother has briefed me on your situation. Wellmart Group takes full responsibility."
• "The company has decided to reinstate you and appoint you as the manager of this supermarket. From now on, you'll have the utmost authority here. You can fire anyone you disagree with and promote anyone you like. The entire supermarket will operate according to your will."
• Originally, Lionel had intended to promote Kael directly to the CEO of the branch company. However, Darius insisted on promoting him step by step.
• Lionel understood that Darius wanted Kael to build his trusted circle, with the eventual goal of directly taking over Wellmart with his team.
• "What?"
• Kael was stunned at the news, completely caught off guard.
• At that moment, Darius stepped forward.
• He patted Kael on the arm. "What are you standing there for? Aren't you going to thank Mr. Lance?"
• "Oh, yes. Thank you! Thank you for trusting me, Mr. Lance! I will work hard!"
• Kael exclaimed with joy. If it weren't for Lionel's presence, he might have jumped up happily like a child.
• The manager of the supermarket!
• With a monthly salary of over 4,500 dollars, he wouldn't have to put up with anyone's attitude anymore!
• "Mr. Harrington, I'll take my leave now," Lionel said respectfully to Darius.
• "Okay," Darius nodded casually as if Lionel was unimportant.
• "Here's the money William owed you and the car," Darius said, tossing the BMW keys to Kael.
• On the way home, driving the BMW, Kael felt like he was in a dream. Out of nowhere, he'd gone from being an unemployed guy to a supervisor with a fancy car.
• Everyone was overjoyed when the family learned about Kael's promotion and raise!
• "I knew it! Good things happen to good people!" Freya said it happily.
• "This time, it's all thanks to Darius," Kael said, looking gratefully at Darius.
• "Him? Ha, what did he have to do with it? It was Mr. Lance who saw your talent and gave you a chance! If Mr. Lance knew what kind of person he is, do you think he'd still be so kind?" Freya said it dismissively.
• Darius hesitated for a moment before speaking. "Actually, I am ... "
