“No, I’m here to talk business with you personally,” Percival smirked, a malicious glint in his eyes. “I plan to acquire 10% of your company’s shares in my personal capacity.”
“That much?” Rosemary was slightly taken aback. “Percival, based on the current market value, acquiring 10% of our company’s shares would cost at least several billion.”
“I know, but I don’t have the money right now, so I’ll owe it to you,” Percival took out a bank card and pushed it in front of Rosemary. “This is all my savings, five million. I’ll slowly repay the rest once I receive dividends.”
“Percival, are you joking?” Rosemary looked at him as if he were a fool. “You want to buy 10% of our company’s shares for five million? Is it your brain that’s malfunctioning, or ours?”
“I already said, I’ll owe it for now and repay it gradually,” Percival chuckled without a care.
“I don’t think it’s your brain that’s the problem, it’s more like you have your head up your ass,” Leo sneered.
It was clear that Percival had come to extort them.
“Oh my, how dare you speak like that, Leo! Let me tell you, I used to respect you, addressing you as Mr. Bloomer. Without my respect, you’re nothing!” Percival slammed the table, annoyed.
“Sorry, I don’t need the respect of someone with their head so far up their ass. Your words are like farting, unbearable to smell,” Leo said casually, crossing his legs.
Rosemary couldn’t help but laugh at Leo’s words, covering her mouth.
Percival felt somewhat embarrassed by Rosemary’s laughter. His face turned red and he slammed the table again, pointing at Leo and cursing, “Leo, if you don’t know what’s good for you, believe me, I can find someone to deal with your clinic!”
“Percival, are you looking to die?” Leo was infuriated.
“Percival, is your skin itching again? Don’t you remember how your father beat you in front of Mr. Timothy last time?”
“Forget it, I actually forgot. If you have the guts, bring Ronald here again,” Percival arrogantly said, “Now that Noel is gone and Ronald has been demoted, don’t expect anyone to support you!”
“We don’t need anyone to support us. We abide by the rules and laws, and we’re not afraid of scoundrels like you!” Rosemary confidently retorted.
“Leo, Rosemary, the era of Noel and Ronald is over. Without their protection, you’re nothing. It’s best for you to be honest from now on!” Percival gloated.
“Is that so? Let me tell you, I don’t need anyone’s protection!” As soon as Leo’s voice fell, he flicked his finger, and a silver acupuncture needle shot towards Percival at high speed.
Percival only saw a flash of cold light before something entered his body.
“Leo! What did you just throw at me?!” Percival frantically searched himself.
“What did I throw at you? What could I possibly throw at you?” Leo pretended to be confused.
“I’m telling you, if you dare to touch me, I’ll make Leo & Rose Cosmetics go bankrupt immediately!” Percival threatened fiercely.
Then, he felt a piercing pain in his buttocks, as if hundreds of steel needles had pricked him.
“What did you guys put on the sofa?!” Percival turned his head and reached for his buttocks.
When he didn’t touch anything, he felt relieved. “You wouldn’t dare do anything to me. Let’s continue discussing the share issue.”
Percival sat back on the sofa, but the next moment, he jumped up as if his buttocks were on fire, letting out a pig-like scream.
Percival felt as if hundreds of steel needles were pricking his buttocks, causing excruciating pain.
“What did you put on the sofa?!” Percival looked back while touching his buttocks with his hand.
When he touched it, the intense pain returned.
He screamed again, his body involuntarily jumping, and the same piercing pain spread throughout his entire body!
“Ah, help! Help!” Percival screamed, his face turning pale from the pain. After the pain subsided, he sat on the ground, afraid to move because he discovered that any pressure on his body caused an unbearable stabbing pain. Rosemary looked puzzled, not understanding what had happened to Percival.
“Percival, what’s wrong with you?” Leo’s face showed a worried expression as he approached Percival.
“It hurts! It hurts!” Percival let out a miserable scream as soon as Leo touched his arm.
“Where does it hurt? Let me take a look.” Leo pressed his hand against Percival’s body. “Is it here or here?”
“Ah! Ah…” With each touch from Leo, Percival screamed in pain. The areas Leo had pressed on Percival’s body felt like they were on fire, causing unbearable stinging pain that made tears stream down his face.
“Leo, I know it’s your doing. Let me tell you, if you dare… Ah, it hurts!” Percival’s words were interrupted by another scream.
Leo slapped him on the shoulder, hooking his arm and saying, “Percival, what nonsense are you spouting? I’m just eager to help you. How could I be the one behind this?”
“Don’t touch me! Don’t you fucking touch me!” Percival shouted at Leo with a flushed face.
“If I don’t touch you, how can I help you? I’m a doctor, I need to see what’s causing your pain, Percival. Could it be that you’ve done too many bad things and now facing retribution?” Leo continued to lightly pat Percival’s back as he spoke.
Percival let out another agonizing scream, his face turning pale, devoid of any color, and beads of sweat dripping down his forehead.
Realizing he couldn’t threaten Leo, Percival had no choice but to endure the pain and plead, “Mr. Bloomer, spare me…”
“Spare you? Where did that come from? Have I harmed you? Weren’t you planning to buy shares of Leo & Rose Cosmetics?” Leo’s face had a smile, but a glint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
“No… I won’t buy them, I won’t buy them…”
“Not buy them?” Leo’s expression changed, and he slapped Percival’s back, saying, “How can you not buy them?”
“Ah, it hurts!” Percival let out a miserable scream, feeling an intense and piercing pain spreading throughout his body.
Then, he started crying, “Mr. Bloomer, I won’t dare anymore! I know I was wrong, please spare me!”
In Percival’s eyes, Leo had become a devil.
“Percival, don’t say that. If you don’t buy them, it means you spare us, don’t you? Are you sure you won’t buy shares of our company?” Leo spoke while continuously rubbing Percival’s back.
“I won’t consider it anymore, I won’t consider it! I was wrong, I absolutely won’t buy them!” Percival cautiously replied.
At that moment, Percival was covered in cold sweat, his body trembling uncontrollably.
“Mr. Bloomer, I won’t buy the shares, can you spare me, please? Don’t worry, if you spare me, I promise to leave immediately!”
