Unrivaled Dragon Lord novel Chapter 41

There was a crisp slapping sound that reverberated across the whole building. After that, there was only silence.

A red shoe-shaped imprint appeared on President Gerald’s face after a towering figure lashed out with great force, leaving President Gerald’s face sore and swollen.

The towering figure lashed out again, and President Gerald was able to grab that incoming thing as he squinted his eyes… There was a cold glint flashing across his eyes.

This was a slipper, and a dirty one at that. He could even smell the foul stench given off by it!

President Gerald stretched out his hand and touched his face. He immediately felt some dirt on his face. When he checked properly, it seemed that the sole of that slipper had some animal faeces attached to it…

President Gerald’s body shook violently as a smouldering anger was raring to explode from within!

This was the first time President Gerald had experience such humiliation in the Sandoval Group!

He couldn’t believe that he had been insulted by these two nobodies!

How could he swallow this?

Countless employees who were gathering around them had a shocked expression on their faces. They didn’t anticipate that Maxwell was so quick on his feet.

He had… hit President Gerald with that slipper.

President Gerald always had a good relationship with the board of directors of the Sandoval Group.

Seeing that Maxwell had exacted violence on President Gerald, despite the fact that he was Greta’s husband, it would be a tall order for Greta to give an explanation to the board of directors after this.

Was he courting death?

President Gerald raised his head and peeked at Maxwell. Maxwell was barefoot as he loomed over Gerald with one of his slippers missing.

President Gerald was trembling when he roared, “Fuck you, you are repaying my kindness by hitting me? I have given you enough face!”

“I am indeed hitting you.” Maxwell replied in a calm tone and his eyes were overflowing with a murderous gaze. His eyes were dark and depthless.

“You are meeting your end today! Where are the security guards? Where the hell are them?” President Gerald screamed loudly as if he had lost his mind. In an instant, two security guards rushed over.

“Capture these two bastards. I will make sure they meet their demise here! Otherwise, it will be a total shame to my name!” President Gerald gritted his teeth and squeezed those words out of his mouth. At the same time, Harriet was tilting her head and she was studying Maxwell meaningfully.

“You know what to do.” Harriet simply said.

Maxwell cocked his head and a frosty glare became evident in his eyes. The two security guards stopped short and both of them had terrified expressions.

They had never seen such a terrifying pair of eyes before. They could somehow imagine a bloody scene after meeting Maxwell’s eyes! If they took a step forward, they had a hunch they would become part of that bloody scene which would turn into reality!

“Do it!” President Gerald barked, “Do you guys want to get fired?”

“You’re too noisy!” Maxwell replied faintly, “I will never forgive anybody who dares to make a move!”

His words had their intended effect, as those two security guards were in a dilemma. They were having qualms on whether they should make their move here… After the fiasco last time, the security guards were well aware of Maxwell’s abilities, and they would never want to offend him a second time.

However, on the other hand, the one giving them the orders was none other than President Gerald of the Sandoval Group. He was not someone they could afford to offend too. What should they do now?

President Gerald’s pupils contracted visibly… Maxwell looked like he had the upper hand as he was more intimidating!

“Stop!”

At that moment, a magnetic yet crisp voice sounded, and the crowd automatically gave way to the source of that voice. At the end of the path, Greta was walking over with the clicking of his high heels as her long and slender legs were marching towards them with style.

“President Greta.” The employees greeted her politely. She was the gorgeous president of the Sandoval Group, and nobody within the company was unfamiliar with her.

Greta stopped in a short distance away from them and she scanned the young girl in front of her coldly. She started, “What’s going on here?”

Greta’s voice was cold yet alluring. It was pleasing to the ears.

Harriet began to chronicle everything from the beginning, and Maxwell suddenly interrupted her, “She has been pregnant for three months. The baby would definitely be gone if that kick had landed… You are really good at kicking women. Did you do this all the time, President Gerald?”

Maxwell asked with a menacing tone, and his words invoked a drastic change of expression on the faces of the employees. They couldn’t believe that President Gerald was such a ruthless person.

Greta couldn’t help but cast a stern glance at President Gerald, “President Gerald, I don’ think it’s appropriate to mix up your personal life with work, don’t you think so?”

“It’s all because your husband and your so-called best friend decided to stir up some trouble for me. I have already gotten everything under control, yet they wanted to escalate this matter.” President Gerald explained.

“She is indeed my best friend who has just returned to Ocean City recently. She has some official business collaboration with the Sandoval Group currently. Do you have a problem with that, President Gerald?” Greta raised her eyebrows.

A drastic change of expression occurred on President Gerald’s face. It turned out that this mature and alluring woman was indeed Greta’s best friend.

To top it off, they had some business collaboration going on. Did he offend her unknowingly?

“President Greta, they are the instigators in this ordeal. I play no part in this at all.” President Gerald raised his head and an icy glare entered his eyes.

At that moment, Greta was having a stony and hard expression. She could relate to this young girl’s pain because of their nature as a woman. She almost wanted to kick President Gerald like how Maxwell had kicked him.

She had long been aware of President Gerald’s antics, but she was not the type to interfere with somebody’s personal life. However, now that things had gone out of hand, she finally had a reason to do so.

“Is he from the Sandoval family in the capital city?” Harriet suddenly asked and this prompted Greta to turn around abruptly as disbelief crept into her eyes.

Harriet was getting straight to the point, and Greta had no way of dodging the question. She could only nod in agreement as she admitted, “Yes.”

Harriet exchanged a glance with Maxwell. As expected… Greta was hiding something. The same could be said about Derrick…

At this moment, Maxwell’s gaze was shrouded in a still calmness. He could guess this much.

A meaningful look entered Maxwell’s eyes as he became more and more livid. President Gerald was an interesting person.

Perhaps, he was involved with Greta’s assassination last time.

“A storm on the horizon was brewing? The Sandoval Group has always dominated Ocean City. Only those international corporations who have set up their branches in Ocean City have enough capital to put up a decent fight. I don’t think there are a lot of corporations who can rival the Sandoval Group, are there?” Harriet tried to do some analysis.

“No,” Suddenly, Maxwell interrupted her, “Besides the companies in Ocean City, I think there are a dozen factions of forces who are targeting the Sandoval Group, isn’t that true, Greta?”

A slight shudder coursed through Greta’s heart. She looked at Maxwell in confusion. How did this guy know about this?

Maxwell picked one newspaper from the rack and placed it on Greta’s desk. He pointed at the headline.

Harriet found the headline and read it out, “The Sandoval Group acquired the development rights to the Harbour Airport of Ocean City…”

“That’s right; the Sandoval Group has just acquired this after a tense competition with local rivals. Although it seems like the Sandoval Group has a bright future ahead, this acquisition is also a hot potato…” Maxwell began to explain while both Greta and Harriet couldn’t help staring at him in surprise.

“Not only the local companies are coming up with ways to entice the Sandoval Group into giving up on their rights, the international companies are all eyeing the group too.” There was sound reasoning in Maxwell’s explanations. Greta was looking at Maxwell with an ambiguous and charming look in her eyes.

Greta’s eyes were infused with a pleasant surprise. She was staring intently at this man who was keeping a cool head and figuring things out. She was impressed that he could discover at a glance the real reason behind everything.

“President Greta, if I’m not wrong, your biggest fear lies in the Sandoval family in the capital city, am I right?” Maxwell’s tone suddenly turned solemn as his burning gaze pierced through Greta.

A slight shudder ran through Greta who had her captivating back facing him. She had always been on the run from the Sandoval family in the capital city, but they never forgot about her. Finally, they were able to catch up with her.

Suddenly, there was a knocking sound on the door to the office. Melissa, Greta’s secretary, came in with big strides.

“President Greta, someone is inviting you to a banquet tonight.”

“Who is it?”

“He told me he’s from Beijing.”
