Ace of the Dragon Division - Chapter 305
Chapter 305: Domineering
Xu Cheng smiled and then said to Lin Lei, “Toss me my phone.”
Lin Lei took out Xu Cheng’s phone from his pocket and threw it over, and Xu Cheng caught it and dialed Haber.
The call went through and an excited voice came from the other end. “Haha, my friend, I really didn’t think you would give me a call.”
Xu Cheng laughed and said, “Mr. Haber, I heard that your Middle East has the largest export of oil in the world.”
Haber laughed wholeheartedly. “Yeah, my Haber Family would never be modest when it comes to that. Yeah, that’s right!”
Xu Cheng: “Then if I tell you to pick up another client to sell your oil to, would it difficult for you?”
Haber: “That will depend on whether we are dealing on a government or private sector level.”
Xu Cheng: “Private. There’s a fuel company that operates in Europe named Shell, and it had given a right of agency to the Jenkins Family in Britain. I’m just curious, with your power as a dominant supplier, do you have the ability to negotiate with Shell to get them to revoke the agency of that family’s company?”
Haber laughed. “If it was someone else that called me and made that request, I would’ve rejected them for sure. But since my little brother, you, asked this of me, I think I can do this for you. But, you owe me a favor.”
Xu Cheng: “Sure, as long as it’s not killing people, doing harm to society, or breaching my bottomline, anything’s fine.”
Haber: “Definitely not. I just hope that one day when I’m in danger, you can come over upon request and save my life. I heard what you did back at the black market, and I feel much more assured handing my life to you than those private mercenaries. You know as well, for people like us that have nothing but money, our safety is our biggest priority.”
Xu Cheng smiled. “It’s a deal then.”
Haber: “Alright, I will take care of your request right away, just give me 10 minutes.”
In the future, Haber would come to realize how much this deal was worth to him. It also became his trump card that made him untouchable in the Middle East!
Xu Cheng: “Then I will hang up now.”
After hanging up, Xu Cheng smiled and said to Jenkins, “Remember to take your call in a bit.”
Jenkins snorted, not knowing what Xu Cheng was up to.
Then, looking over at Terry, he said, “Mr. Terry, it’s best for a person to consider his own strength before offending others. Some people shouldn’t be offended, so it would be best if you don’t piss them off.”
Terry replied in disdain, “Are you talking about yourself? You are saying that in my nation, in my territory? I might have considered those words if I was in Huaxia, but here, you are still overestimating yourself.”
“Oh, really?” Xu Cheng looked at him. “Have you been able to retrieve the stolen relic yet?”
Terry’s face changed drastically, “What did you say?”
Xu Cheng shouted towards Lin Lei again, “Toss that pair of diamond brawler’s gloves onto the stage.”
Lin Lei nodded, took it out of his bag, and tossed it down.
When Terry saw that pair of brawler’s gloves, his whole face paled.
“You!” He looked at Xu Cheng, terrified and not able to utter a full sentence.
Xu Cheng said nonchalantly, “28 guards plus a retired veteran of the 5th District, yet you still couldn’t protect the cultural relics. Think about it, if the thief wants you dead, do you think anywhere in Britain is safe?”
That sentence directly hit Terry’s head like a nuclear explosion and he directly shot up from his seat, “It was you!”
Xu Cheng laughed and continued, “I don’t know if those old friends of yours from the Sonora Family had come to haunt you in your dreams yet for getting them killed.”
Terry’s azz directly sunk back down to his seat and his whole body began to tremble. He obviously knew that the Sonora Family had already been wiped out of existence at the black market. It was all because he told them to intercept his relics for him, but in the end, he only got the news that the leader of the Sonora Family, who was his old friend, was killed at his own house. He was quite shocked and terrified, and at that moment, he felt regretful and decided to not pursue it anymore. Even an infamous gang leader died due to this, so a businessman like him with no power in the underworld definitely couldn’t play with that thief at all.
Xu Cheng smiled and looked at him. “Scared now?’
Seeing Xu Cheng’s smile, Terry felt that he was even having trouble breathing. He was indeed terrified!
If all of these things were indeed Xu Cheng’s work, he was indeed scared now! One day, he might not even know how he died if he kept on going against Xu Cheng.
At the thought of this, his body couldn’t stop shivering.
Terry looked at Jenkins and snorted, “What are you scared of? For a nobody like him, people won’t even know if he dies on the streets one day.”
Terry’s lips were trembling. “I’m scared that I will be the one dead one day!”
Just then, Jenkins’s phone rang, the Caller-ID displaying that it was a call from the CEO of Shell.
The CEO directly asked when the call connected with an urgent tone, “Did you offend someone? Suddenly I was called into a board meeting and was told that they want to cancel you guys as Britain’s agent and get someone else to do it.”
“What?!” It was Jenkins’s turn to be dumbfounded. “What did you say? Cancel our company’s right of agency? What’s going on?!”
“I wanted to ask you what was going on! Who did you offend? This was just all of a sudden.”
“Who could I have offended? I’ve rarely had any competition in Britain nor did I make any big enemies. Hey, don’t scare me like this! I just lost my son, you can’t deliver me this bad news right now.”
“Then I don’t know. Anyway, the board of directors passed the vote together, and I’m just a CEO. I’m too insignificant in comparison to them so I just called to give you a heads up. I will hang up now.”
“You-” The call ended when Jenkins still wanted to say more.
Seeing how his face had began looking even worse than when he lost his son, Xu Cheng laughed and asked, “Was that call a pleasant surprise?”
Jenkins was really annoyed, but when he heard Xu Cheng’s words, he immediately looked up and stared right at Xu Cheng with his eyes wide open, “It was you? Who did you call just now? What did you really do?”
Xu Cheng smiled. “I didn’t do much. I just thought that if you really want to play with me, then let’s just all have some fun. How are you feeling right now? I heard from my father-in-law that your family intended to transition into other sectors and leave the oil business, and that was why you guys wanted to buy the Lin Corporation. If that’s the case, I figured I would just do you a favor. You guys don’t have to be in the oil business anymore, and now you can brainstorm what other industry you want to venture into next.”
Jenkins fell back into his chair, dumbfounded.
At that moment, Xu Cheng said to Terry in a commanding tone, “Now, if you want to ease your tension with me, I can give you a chance. Call your company right now to use all channels and platforms available to spread the news that Jenkins’s family got their right of agency removed. I want his company’s stock prices to plummet into the abyss in one day!”
Jenkins’s face changed dramatically as he turned to look at Terry, “Bro, don’t do this!”
Terry was getting chills down his spine from the way Xu Cheng looked at him. He swallowed his spittle and took out his phone as he said, “Sorry, I have no choice but to do this.”
