“Bang!”
The steel arrow pierced through Theodore’s palm, forcefully embedding itself ten centimeters into the iron plate of the excavator.
Theodore let out a sharp scream that echoed throughout the valley, causing everyone’s eardrums to ache. It was evident just how much pain he was in.
Normally, Theodore lived a life of luxury, drinking tea worth tens of thousands per pound and smoking cigars worth thousands per stick. Everywhere he went, people flattered him and one word from him could earn his company millions.
Now both his hands were nailed to the excavator and his entire body hung from it as he trembled in pain.
Everyone was scared out of their wits.
How dared Flynn lay hands on Theodore at a time like this!
Even Scarlet turned pale with fear.
Wasn’t it too much for Flynn to attack Theodore in front of Governor?
Even if there were matters that needed attention, he couldn’t be so disrespectful!
In Scarlet’s opinion, this arrow wasn’t necessary at all!
Just talk nicely with Governor; even if they didn’t agree with him on everything, they wouldn’t have such a bad impression of him like this!
“It’s over! How could Flynn dare hit Mr. Brooks in front of Governor? Even gods won’t be able to save him now!” The employees at Orco Real Estate wailed mournfully.
It was all over!
Flynn would either be shot dead on the spot or sentenced to death in prison; either way he couldn’t escape bankruptcy or losing his life altogether.
While everyone sympathized with Flynn’s situation, they also thought that he had gone too far and lost both money and life because of it.
“What does it matter if I kill you right here in front of Governor?” Flynn said coldly as he grabbed onto the arrow shaft and shook himself around left and right twice for good measure.
Theodore instantly felt the excruciating pain, his cold sweat dripping down like beans. In agony, he exclaimed, “Thug! You’re just a thug! Mr. Howe, what are you waiting for? Shoot him now!”
Emanuel hesitated. He knew about Flynn’s relationship with Travis, but with Governor present, he had to enforce the law impartially. So, he pulled out his pistol and said, “Mr. Clark, please drop your weapon; otherwise, I’ll have to take necessary measures!”
As soon as he spoke, the pistols of a dozen subordinates behind him were all aimed at Flynn.
Travis wore a helpless expression too. If this matter involved only Frederick, he might still have the ability to save Flynn. However, with Theodore, who was on his level, being disabled by Flynn, and Governor witnessing it, there was probably no hope!
Rocco’s expression also turned grim.
Emanuel received the report from the Land Resources Bureau and immediately reported it to Governor while they were on their way to Ponocord Bay. Upon learning that the bureau chief in Niarak was attacked by Flynn, considering the severity of the situation, Rocco’s face darkened.
Rocco had imagined Flynn’s appearance on his way to Niarak. Either refined and cultured with profound temperament, or a martial arts expert exuding an outstanding aura, or an otherworldly figure with extraordinary demeanor. He didn’t expect to see someone so ordinary, explosive, and disrespectful! Was Flynn relying on the favor from the Spencer family to act so arrogantly?
“Flynn, what’s going on? Assaulting him in my presence?” Rocco approached with a blackened face.
Flynn, not pleased with Rocco’s attitude, replied unapologetically, “What’s wrong with assaulting him in your presence? Even if the sovereign himself were here, I’d still beat him!”
“My goodness! Even at this time, this guy dares to speak with such an attitude?!”
“Look at how unhappy the Governor looks; he’s definitely going to be furious soon!”
“Yeah! Mr. Brooks is Governor’s trusted subordinate. This guy attacked Mr. Brooks in front of the Governor; he’s in for a rough time!”
As these comments circulated, everyone shivered in fear.
How could this guy be so audacious as to talk to the Governor like that?
Was his brain fried, or did he lack any sense of respect?
Travis was also wide-eyed. He hadn’t expected Flynn to be so brazen. Faced with the governor, Flynn’s tone was even somewhat impatient.
Where did this guy get the audacity?
Even Roman wouldn’t dare speak to the Governor like this!
Scarlet couldn’t help but be speechless and was so infuriated that her eyes rolled. If it weren’t for the Governor’s presence, she would have gone up and kicked Flynn a few times.
Hey! Big brother, this was Governor they were talking about!
You might want to lower your attitude; you might end up dead!
“Mr. Spencer, here’s what happened. Frederick wanted to force us to transfer the land by planning to build a cemetery next to our property.”
“He even attempted to shoot Flynn with an arrow. Later, Mr. Brooks came to Frederick’s aid, using various threats and enticements. Flynn couldn’t tolerate it anymore, so he fought back!”
Scarlet stepped forward to explain.
Rocco frowned after hearing it and looked at Theodore.
“Mr. Spencer, that’s not how it happened! Frederick didn’t know that the mountain was a forest area and wanted to move the family graves here.”
“The excavator accidentally crushed Orco Real Estate’s medicinal herbs, and Frederick wanted to apologize. Flynn disagreed and attacked him.”
“When I was inspecting Ponocord Bay, I witnessed the conflict here and explained to Frederick that the mountain belonged to the forest area, and he couldn’t build a cemetery.”
“I also advised Flynn not to resort to violence, but unexpectedly, this guy found me meddlesome and attacked me like this!”
Theodore quickly explained. Frederick nodded repeatedly, and their subordinates joined in, hoping to turn the situation against Theodore.
Travis knew the truth was not like that, but considering Theodore’s influence and potential connections with theGovernor, he remained silent.
“It’s not… Mr. Spencer, they are talking nonsense. The situation is clearly…” Scarlet was about to continue her explanation, but Flynn interrupted her, turning to Rocco.
“Mr. Spencer, if Mr. Brooks is so polite, why did he have my company sealed by the city’s Industrial and Commercial Bureau?”
This statement left everyone in shock.
Rocco furrowed his brows deeply.
Travis, understanding the situation, quickly took out his phone and dialed the leader of the bureau.
“Hello? Is this Mr. Johnston? Did Mr. Brooks call and ask you to seal Orco Real Estate?”
“What? He called and you sealed it? On what grounds? You don’t know?! If you don’t know, why did you seal it? Be prepared for a severe reprimand!”
“Hurry up, right now, immediately, remove the seal from Orco Real Estate for me!”
After Travis hung up, he couldn’t help but twitch his mouth. He thought it was a clash between big shots, but unexpectedly, their own people got involved. His face turned livid instantly.
He must teach Tanner a good lesson when they got back.
This was truly embarrassing for Niarak!
The scene fell silent, and the air seemed to freeze. Theodore dared not even breathe heavily.
Rocco’s face became darker and colder. Then, he turned to Theodore and said coldly, “Is there anything else you’d like to say, Mr. Brooks?”
“Mr. Brooks, you wield such authority! You dare to seal a company without any investigation! Who gave you the audacity?”
