Chapter 0472 Paul's head had taken a beating, more than once. Just with that last strike, his skull cracked open under the force, and he saw stars dancing before his eyes. It felt as if Alexander was on a mission to shatter every bone in his head.
"I'll sign! I'll sign right away!" He desperately clung to the table, his legs swaying uncontrollably, devoid of any inkling of hope.
Alexander was no ordinary man. He was a devil, a tyrant, a ruthless character who knew no bounds. A lawless outlaw. The document must be signed, or death awaited.
"You could've avoided all this trouble," Alexander coldly snorted, shattering the palette in his hand. He released
Paul's head, his voice chilling, "you have one minute, don't make me wait any longer!" Paul, his head throbbing with pain, raised a hand to cover the wound on his forehead. He staggered to the back of his desk, trembling as he fumbled to retrieve the official seal from the nearby safe.
Dipping the seal in ink, stamping, signing—in less than half a minute, all the procedures were completed.

He snorted lightly and said, "There are six customs clearance departments, and you're just one of them. Who are the other five in charge?" Paul's body stiffened, his lips mumbled
but failed to utter a single word.
With the New Chesire Group product | launch causing tension, aside from the Xanthos family, the six major influential families were on high alert.
They had infiltrated the six customs clearance departments in Deephaven, placing their people in each. Paul was just one of them.
For the approval to be effective, all six departments had to sign. Otherwise, it was meaningless.
"They... They..." After just three seconds of hesitation, Paul dared not | delay any longer.
Trembling, he spoke, "They are all in different offices, on different floors.
Howlett Cinder in the inspection office on the second floor, Daniel Foster in the epidemic prevention office on the
third floor..." He detailed the offices and locations of | the other five responsible individuals.
Then, nervously, he looked at Alexander. "Mister Kane, I've told you everything I know. I hope you..." Alexander could not be bothered to deal with him. He simply grabbed the approval documents and, turning around, strode out of the office.
The heads appointed by the six major wealthy families? He would beat them one by one, and it would not take much time.
Approximately 20 minutes later.
"Paul!" In the Market Inspection Office, five middle-aged men with bruised and swollen faces, moaned in pain. j

This time, the loss was too great.
"Guys!" He raised his head, teeth grinding loudly as he looked at the five companions in front of him. "You all saw it. Alexander Kane is too ruthless.
If I delayed for a second, he would've smashed my head in. Can I not confess? "The New Chesire Group's new product is about to launch. I thought that delaying for three more days would be enough, but who could've expected that Alexander would be so brutal, not
even giving me a second?" They looked at each other, the anger on their faces gradually subsiding, Paul was right.
Alexander was too ferocious, too brutal, too direct. There was no pretense or frills; he completely subdued them with the most straightforward methods.
No signature, no stamp? Then lives would be lost.
"We must reclaim this situation!" After an unknown amount of time passed, someone finally spoke with resentment. "This matter must be handled quietly. The fewer people alarmed, the better. We must snatch back the approval documents, absolutely not allowing the new
product of the New Chesire Group to smoothly launch!" &» Snatch it back? 7 Paul's eyes suddenly lit up, reflexively saying...
"Underground?!"
