Scarlet scowled and said, “Mr. Riggs, I advise you to approve the permit. Otherwise, your embarrassment will be worse than it is now.”
“Embarrassment?” Neymar laughed out loud and pointed at Flynn.
“In a little while, he’ll be on his knees begging me for another chance, crying with snot bubbles coming out of his nose. Who do you think will be embarrassed?”
“To tell you the truth, I was already annoyed when he kicked the door earlier. He’s so incompetent in negotiating that I have to mess with you guys instead.”
“Don’t worry. Even if he cracks his head open and spills brain matter all over the place, I’ll make sure he sits in jail for life!”
“This is what happens when you hold onto billions of dollars worth of land but won’t even spend ten million! You’re a bunch of bastards!”
Flynn narrowed his eyes and said calmly, “Do you mean that this matter can’t be discussed anymore?”
“Discuss? Do you want to discuss again?” Neymar pointed at himself and gritted his teeth.
“You beat my face like this; even if it’s 140 million dollars it won’t help. You’ll die in prison for the rest of your life! No one can save you!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a resolute voice rang out.
“No one can save Mr. Clark? What about the Pearce family? “Callie walked in quickly.
She wore a white long dress which exuded an air of nobility unique to high society families.
“Miss Pearce?” Neymar stood up from his chair with a frown on his forehead.
Callie ignored him and turned her head slightly towards Flynn, bowing respectfully as she called him “Mr. Clark” .
Then she greeted Scarlet briefly before learning about what had happened from them both.
Neymar saw Callie being so polite to Flynn, and a hint of doubt flashed across his brow. He had investigated Flynn’s identity: he was the Kaur family’s son-in-law who had just been released from prison by sheer luck after buying back some mortgaged land belonging to the Davies Family. How could such a trash have any connection with the Pearce family?
Callie quickly understood the situation with just a few words and coldly retorted to Neymar, “No wonder companies from other cities are reluctant to establish factories in Niarak. It’s all because of useless officials like you!”
“Approve the certificate now, or I’ll immediately call Mr. Richardson and see if he keeps you in your position or not!”
Neymar was momentarily stunned and looked at Flynn coldly, saying, “I didn’t expect you to have connections with the Pearce family.”
Scarlet snorted and restrained herself, saying, “Mr. Riggs, I warned you earlier. Flynn is not only a valued guest of the Pearce family, but also knows Mr. Richardson.”
“You’ve messed with the wrong people!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd couldn’t hold back their laughter.
“Oh my god! These three are really funny. They’re actually using Travis to intimidate Mr. Riggs. Don’t they know that Mr. Riggs’ sister is the Governor’s wife?”
“Hey! It’s not their fault. After all, two commoners and one upper-class lady, who usually stay confined within their own circles, how would they know about Mr. Riggs’ connections?”
“Did you see the expressions on those two women just now? They were so arrogant! They thought that because this guy knows Travis and the Pearce family, Mr. Riggs would be scared? It’s really hilarious!”
The staff from the Resource Bureau burst into wild laughter, clearly not taking Callie and Scarlet’s words seriously and finding them amusing.
Flynn furrowed his brow.
He finally understood why Neymar was so arrogant.
He turned out to be the Governor’s brother-in-law.
Scarlet was also taken aback.
She didn’t expect Neymar to have such connections, being related to the Governor!
With this relationship, Neymar naturally had no fear of Travis. After all, the Governor was an even bigger support for him.
Recalling Flynn’s attitude towards the Governor the day before and seeing Neymar’s current condition, a gloomy feeling enveloped Scarlet’s heart.
Flynn had already killed the King of Poison. Would the Spencer family still take him seriously? Flynn beat up the Governor’s sister’s own brother!
His nose was broken, and he lost his front and back molars…
Callie also furrowed her brows slightly. Although she was part of the Pearce family, she was just a young woman and didn’t have much knowledge about the political scene in Niarak.
Neymar had the Governor as his support, and she couldn’t compete with that.
It should be noted that Niarak was just a prefecture-level city, and couldn’t compare to even the capital, Pelens. Not to mention the Governor.
They were two ranks apart!
“No wonder you’re so arrogant. It turns out you have some connections in Niarak, and even the Pearce family is backing you up.” Neymar scrutinized Flynn, showing a disdainful expression. He leaned back in his chair again and sneered, “Too bad, you didn’t confront me head-on.”
“Now call Travis and let’s see what he says.”
The people from the Resource Bureau also sneered.
“What else can he say? Naturally, he will appease Mr. Riggs in a good manner, otherwise our bureau chief just needs to say a word, and Travis won’t even be able to keep his position.”
“When a higher-ranking official suppresses someone, especially during this period of transition, Mr. Richardson is busy currying favor with the Governor. How could he dare to say anything against you?”
“Every time Travis has a meeting with the bureau chief, Mr. Riggs is always the last to arrive. Once he was an hour late, and Travis waited for him for an hour before starting the meeting! Who do you think he will favor?”
The crowd felt it was a great honor to be Neymar’s underlings and had extreme disdain for Flynn.
But these three idiots didn’t think it through.
They dared to play cards during working hours, and Neymar openly solicit bribes. How can they get by without strong connections?
“So what if he has a family connection with the Governor? I believe he will judge fairly and not favor his own people!” Callie said.
“Fair judgment?” Neymar sneered and coldly laughed, “You can think that way, but does Travis dare to think like that?”
“At this crucial juncture of transition, Travis is moving around everywhere just to climb higher. Ask him if he dares to gamble?”
After hearing this, Callie’s eyes dimmed noticeably.
She knew about Travis’ recent thoughts.
Recently, Travis had been so concerned about her illness because he wanted to win over the Pearce family and climb higher through the connections of her grandfather.
This year was an election year, and Travis would unite with anyone he could, not daring to make any mistakes.
Upon hearing this, Flynn laughed.
“What are you laughing at?” Neymar’s face darkened, and he turned to Flynn, asking.
Flynn didn’t look at him and said to Callie, “I don’t know what to say to you. I asked you to wait at the restaurant. Isn’t it disgusting to come here and face such a disgusting situation? Doesn’t it ruin your appetite?”
“If you didn’t come, I might have already obtained the land certificate and be on my way to the restaurant.”
“You see, another twenty minutes wasted dealing with this trash!”
Callie was slightly stunned, not understanding what Flynn meant.
In her impression, the highest-ranking official Flynn knew was Travis.
Did he want to go through Roman’s connections?
Or the cunning Micah?
Both of them were either King of Medicine or members of the Eahta clan, and they did have some means.
But their circles were in Eahta!
And they were not politicians. Why would the Governor show them respect?
Just as Callie was puzzled, Neymar became furious and slammed the table, shouting at Flynn, “You think you’re giving me face? Jumping around in front of me time and time again, not even putting the Governor in your eyes?”
Flynn’s smile froze instantly, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and he turned to Neymar, his face full of disdain, saying, “You’re right, I really didn’t put Rocco in my eyes!”
Before the words could finish, Flynn kicked him out.
“Bang!”
After a loud noise.
Neymar felt as if his chest had been hit by a cannonball. His body flew backwards and slammed heavily into the wall behind him, breaking three ribs and fracturing his tailbone!
