When the three heads of the families noticed Calvin's arrival, they look displeased.
President Dai said, "President Chiang, you're finally here."
When Calvin heard President Dai's greeting, he ignored it. He glanced at President Dai and said casually, "I overslept, that's why I was a little tardy."
When they heard this, the three heads of families scowled.
After all, they were the three major business tycoons in Dragonville. They had made such a formal appointment with a young upstart like Calvin and even emphasized Fade's outstanding status.
However, it seemed that Calvin did not even care. He had even overslept and shown up late to such a crucial meeting.
President An pointed to Fade, who was sitting in the main seat and said, "President Chiang, this is President Chen of the Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc in Dragonville."
Calvin tossed a glance toward Fade. He did not intend to greet Fade at all. He merely responded with an "oh" before he swaggered into the room. He handed his walking stick to his attendant and took a seat on the sofa. After that, he crossed his leg nonchalantly over the other.
When this scene came into view, the three's expressions went several shades darker.
President Qian suppressed his anger and uttered, "President Chiang, Mr. Chen has been waiting for you for a very long time now."
Hearing this, Calvin waved at Fade nonchalantly and said casually, "Thanks for the wait."
Calvin's arrogance caused the three tycoons to feel irritated and worried. They were obviously aware that Fade was not a very good-tempered man. If Calvin really enraged Fade, it was not impossible that Fade would massacre Calvin on the spot.
Right at this instance, the three tycoons glanced toward Fade. Fade looked calm as water. He was glancing at Calvin in silence.
When they saw this situation, the tycoons' hearts trembled in anxiety.
A middle- aged man in his mid- forties beside Calvin stood up. He smiled apologetically, "Mr. Chen, President Dai, President An, President Qian, I'm sorry. President Chiang caught a cold yesterday, that's why he slept in. We're really-."
The three tycoons seemed to be more appeased when they heard this man's explanation.
This was because the person who spoke was Henry Hu. He was the current second-in-chief of the Maritime Ocean Pharma Dragonville Branch. He was originally from Dragonville, so he knew about Fade and the other three tycoons. He apologized politely as to calm the situation down
However, before he could finish, Calvin, who had his legs crossed, hollered at Henry sternly, "Did I ask you to speak? Who gave you the right to apologize on my behalf?"
Henry's face froze and he explained, "President Chiang, Mr. Chen and President Dai are big shots in Dragonville, I..."
Calvin waved his hand again and interrupted Henry. He said with disdain, "What big shot? I've never heard of them."
This rendered Henry speechless, he could only retreat to the back and keep his silence.
The three tycoons were enraged as Calvin did not respect them at all. This infuriated them.
However, Fade waved his hand to stop the trio. He gazed at Calvin and said, "Since President Chiang is here, I'll cut to the chase."
"Sure, enlighten me. I'm all ears!" Calvin crossed his legs, retrieved his mobile phone, and fiddled with it. It did not seem like he was going to listen with all ears.
"Do you know how many lives would be lost due to your reckless behaviour?" "Calvin, are you really refusing to consider the future development of Maritime Ocean Pharma's in this country?"
The three tycoons bellowed.
However, Calvin had no intention of compromising at all. On the contrary, he looked arrogant and smug as ever.
The three men still wanted to say something. However, Fade said icily, "Since you are unwilling to lower the price, President Chiang, there's is nothing to talk about. You can go now."
Fade was actually chasing Calvin out.
Hearing this, Calvin sat down and was not planning to leave. "You guys invited me here and treat me like this?! Is this how you treat a guest?"
"I'm telling you to get lost, did you not hear me?" Fade glared at Calvin and ordered.
Calvin glowered, "How dare you! I..."
However, before he could finish, Fade's right palm punched through the air.
With a loud 'crack', the exquisite walking stick next to Calvin split open from the middle.
"You attacked me. Someone..." Calvin was shocked. His jaw clenched. He waved his hand and was about to ask his men to retaliate.
Standing behind Calvin, Henry panicked. He rushed over and persuaded, "President Chiang, stop. Stop! Don't attack Mr. Chen!"
