Chapter 327 Offending the Wrong People
The Winfred Group’s Subsidiary Company. When Jeremy got the phone call, he got incredibly angry that the veins in his neck were bulging.
He clenched the phone firmly and scolded angrily, “You bunch of morons! How can you screw up so badly? Can’t you even watch over one useless guy?”
The other end of the phone remained silent, and Jeremy’s anger grew to the point where he slammed the phone against the wall.
“Bang!”
With a loud crash, his state-of-the-art phone shattered into pieces and fell to the ground. At the same time, the office door was pushed open from the outside.
Xavier entered with a cold expression. When he saw who it was, Jeremy didn’t even have time to hide the anger on his face.
Xavier’s leather shoes thudded heavily on the wooden floor as he walked, each step feeling like a punch to Jeremy’s gut. He just stood there, unable to say a word. Xavier slowly sat down and scolded in a cold tone, “You have quite the temper.”
Jeremy kept his head down, too scared to look up. He knew very well that his father was not someone to be trifled with when he was in such a rage.
Looking at Jeremy’s helpless appearance, Xavier felt even more annoyed and couldn’t help but curse, I’ve told you countless times to be cautious and not rush into things. Why won’t you ever listen?”
Jeremy knew that his father must have come for the matter concerning Erick, and he couldn’t help but feel frustrated.

“Dad, I had people watching the hospital, and I injected medicine into Erick. How did he disappear like that? Plus, the hospital cameras stopped working exactly when Erick disappeared. It’s too much of a coincidence!”
“Are you telling the truth?” Xavier asked, raising his eyebrows in slight surprise.
“Of course not, Dad. I’d never lie about something this big,” Jeremy confidently replied. Xavier could tell that Jeremy was telling the truth, but he also found it strange.
“Dad, could this be the Hacker Alliance’s doing? I doubt Erick, that brat, has the skills for this!”
Xavier quickly noticed something amiss and gave Jeremy a stern look.
“Did you offend the Hacker Alliance?”
Jeremy realized he had accidentally let something slip and looked extremely embarrassed. Xavier slammed his hand on the nearby table in frustration, “You fool! At a time like this, you’re still trying to hide things from me?”
“Dad, it’s not a big deal. The Hacker Alliance sent someone this morning to discuss the contract, and I managed to send them away. They didn’t say much and just left. I thought it was fine!” Jeremy said.
Seeing Jeremy still seemingly unaware of the gravity of the situation, Xavier felt like he was about to have a heart attack.
“You thought it was fine? Do you know what kind of organization the Hacker Alliance is? Do they easily let go of what they’re interested in?”
Just as they were arguing, Xavier’s phone suddenly rang. He picked up the phone and his expression grew increasingly grave. Seeing Xavier’s reaction, Jeremy panicked, “Dad, what’s wrong? Why do you look so pale?”
Xavier pointed a trembling finger at Jeremy, his eyes widening significantly, “You… you…”

Before he could finish his sentences, he passed out completely! Erick never expected that Catherine would bring him back to the black market.
As he observed Catherine confidently entering the heart of the black market, he began to question what Catherine’s relationship with Sean really was.
He hadn’t known Sean’s identity before, but later, he learned that Sean was the Mr. Scott of the black market. Gaining a high position in the black market at a young age gave Sean great influence and power there.
Unless someone had a death wish, nobody dared to mess with Sean. Although Catherine was a skilled boxer, she was still just a boxer. How could she casually enter the core of the black market?
What was her relationship with Sean?
Before Erick could come up with an answer, they were already back in Sean’s office. Sean was reading documents when someone barged in without even a greeting.
He was nearly losing his temper because they barged in suddenly. But everything changed when he glanced up and spotted Catherine. In an instant, he calmed down.
He couldn’t afford to provoke Catherine. Taking a closer look, Sean realized that not only Catherine but also Ronin and Erick were there. He put down the documents and stood up slowly, assessing them.
“Well, how come you left just yesterday, and today you’re back? Has my shabby place suddenly become a hot spot that everyone likes to visit?”
Catherine didn’t say anything. She strolled over to a bookshelf, grabbed a
book in front of everyone, and opened a hidden compartment next to it, revealing a black cabinet.
Sean, feeling impatient, yelled at Catherine’s back, “What’s going on here? Don’t you see how many people are in here? Why are you opening my compartment?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe black cabinet was actually a fridge, but Catherine didn’t pay attention to Sean’s complaints. She opened the fridge and began to take something out.
Sean didn’t know what she was up to and rushed to stop her. Ronin stepped forward and stood in Sean’s way. He assumed a confident posture and declared, “If you want to get past, you’ll have to step over my dead body!”
Seeing Ronin’s stance, Sean turned red with anger.
“You’re insane!”
Catherine found what she was looking for, turned around, and waved Erick over, signaling him to come closer. Erick didn’t hesitate and approached obediently, walking unusually slowly.
While Erick was walking, Catherine explained to Sean, “Don’t worry, I haven’t touched your precious belongings!”
Then, she rolled up Erick’s sleeve, took a syringe from the nearby area, and injected its contents into Erick’s arm.
“Alright, go rest for a bit!”
After finishing the injection for Erick, Catherine casually closed Sean’s little secret compartment. Sean, seeing that Catherine indeed hadn’t tampered with his valuables, breathed a sigh of relief.
Nevertheless, he decided that as soon as they left, he would relocate his precious items. Glancing at the small medicine vial Catherine had used, Sean suddenly realized what had happened. He shifted his gaze to Erick.
“Did someone give Tyler a dose of Softener?”
“Softener” was just another name for this drug. Actually, it was a drug that weakened one’s limbs. This kind of thing was quite common in the black market.
Correspondingly, Sean also had an antidote for this type of drug. Just now, Catherine had administered the antidote to Erick, and its effects would kick in within ten minutes.
No wonder Sean had noticed that Erick seemed sluggish today, lacking his usual fierceness. It turned out he had been drugged!
