His threat filled everyone with anxiety.
“I’m just here for the party. Why am I so unlucky to bump into someone exacting revenge on Mr. Remus? Where is he? Did he hide because he knew that someone was going to target him?!”
“How cruel of Mr. Remus! He made us come here and ran away! This might be his scheme to kill all of us so that his company could dominate the market in Imperial City!”
“That’s a conspiracy theory. Have you forgotten about the Xander Family? Remus Corporation will never surpass the Xander Family no matter how powerful it is!”
Someone started sobbing. “I know nothing. I want to leave, and I don’t want to die!”
…
Someone suddenly raised his voice and spoke amid the curses against Neil, “George Cook! You’re George Cook!”
George had previously been the president of Cook Corporation. His family was one of the eight great families in Imperial City before his company went bankrupt. When he became Neil’s business competitor, he made a mistake, which caused his company to collapse like dominoes. After that, the Cook Family disappeared from Imperial City.
However, bankruptcy and the sudden emergence of certain powers were common in Imperial City. At first, people talked about the Cook Family’s extermination, but they gradually forgot about it.
George did not expect anyone to recognize him. He sneered and said, “Yeah. Neil ruined my family two years ago, and he’s an upstart now. Meanwhile, I couldn’t even afford a tomb for my parents when they died. I still have their urns at home, so I’m going to make Neil pay the price!”
Everyone was shocked by his crazy demeanor.
“Can’t you see, George? Neil isn’t around. It’s useless even if you kill that woman. Yes, your parents suffered a pitiful fate. But don’t you feel sorry for this innocent woman? Just let her go first—”
“Hmph! You guys are going to get the security guards to take me away if I let her go. Do you take me as a fool?” George interrupted coldly.
Suddenly, someone pointed at Silvia, who was standing near the door. “George, you shouldn’t involve the innocent. Although Neil isn’t around, his girlfriend is. You should take his girlfriend hostage instead. Then, Neil might come!”
