Chapter 874: Situation of the Corporation
Alexis was furious, but this was DC, where the Cole family wasn’t a big deal, unlike in California, where they were at the top of the hierarchy.
Moreover, the Stardust Corporation was backed by the Huttons, one of the eight most powerful families in DC, so it wasn’t easy to provoke.
Alexis didn’t want Lucas to end up offending the Huttons because of her.
“Lucas, go ahead and take care of your matters first! Don’t bother about what this b.a.s.t.a.r.d says!” Alexis let go of Lucas’s arm reluctantly. “I’ll treat you to a meal when you’re free tonight!”
“Okay, see you tonight then.” Lucas nodded and turned to leave.
Lucas wasn’t that free to bother with a young man in his early twenties.
But as soon as Lucas took two steps, Brent stopped him.
“Punk, do you think I’m dead? I’ve already said that Alexis is my woman. How dare you agree to eat dinner with her right in front of me? Do you not take me seriously?!
“If you want to die, I’ll fulfill your death wish right now!”
Brent punched Lucas’s head.
“Lucas, watch out!” Alexis screamed in horror.
But this powerless punch naturally couldn’t strike Lucas.
Jordan raised his hand to block Brent’s punch.
Lucas looked at the young man in front of him and suddenly smiled strangely. “You just said that your uncle is the deputy general manager of Stardust Corporation, right? What’s his name?”
Seeing a helper suddenly appear beside Lucas, Brent was a little surprised, but he immediately became smug again when Lucas asked him who his uncle was.
“Hah, are you scared now that you’ve heard my uncle is the deputy general manager?
...
“Hmph, my uncle’s name is Richard Morris. He has been the deputy general manager of the Stardust Corporation for several years. He’s now in charge of most of the matters in the corporation and holds great power!
“If you dare to offend me, I guarantee that you won’t be able to step into the Stardust Corporation. Even if you’ve entered, you’ll be kicked out! If you don’t believe me, you can give it a try!
“Also, even though you’ve grabbed my hand, do you dare to lay a finger on me? If you dare to touch me, the security guards here will beat you two into a pulp!”
He boasted arrogantly about his uncle’s power and ability before issuing a threat.
Lucas raised his eyebrows. “Look at you. Why are you acting like the Stardust Corporation belongs to your uncle?”
Brent smiled proudly. “Hah, although it’s not the case now, it won’t be long before it’s his!”
“Oh? What do you mean by that?” Lucas asked.
“Hah, I knew it. An idiot like you doesn’t know anything! Okay, I’ll do a good deed today and tell you the reason so that you can die knowing why!”
“The Stardust Corporation has always been under the Huttons’ control. But now, there are some changes, and the chairman of the Stardust Corporation has been replaced. But in fact, there hasn’t been much of an impact. The Huttons won’t control the company directly, but the people they trust can!
“My uncle Richard Morris has been trained by the Huttons to be in charge of the Stardust Corporation! Although he’s only the deputy general manager, he’s almost in charge of everything in the company!”
“Even the bulls.h.i.+t general manager Flynn Davis, who was transferred over some time ago, means nothing to my uncle! My uncle calls the shots in the company, and the general manager is just a weakling being manipulated by others!
“That’s why I said that apart from the Huttons, my uncle is the leader with the highest authority in the Stardust Corporation! It’s not wrong to say that the Stardust Corporation belongs to my family! Do you get it now?”
“Hmph, you should now know just how much power my uncle holds. Moreover, you’ve committed a high crime by offending me!”
Brent was extremely smug, and he even revealed many matters about the Stardust Corporation for the sake of showing off his uncle’s power.
But he didn’t notice that Lucas’s eyes flashed with strong murderous intent.
More than a month ago, Lucas had sent Flynn to the Stardust Corporation headquarters in DC so that he could be the vanguard to infiltrate the Stardust Corporation and find a way to take it back from the Huttons.
But now, it seemed that Flynn had indeed faced a lot of resistance, and he was basically unable to make any real decisions. No one took him, the general manager Lucas personally appointed, seriously.
Apart from the deputy general manager, Richard, it was likely that the other senior executives of the company were also people trained by the Huttons.
Under such circ.u.mstances, it was almost impossible for Flynn to take the Stardust Corporation back.
At the thought of this, Lucas suddenly felt a trace of regret.
He should have come to DC earlier to help Flynn clear many obstacles so that he could get hold of the Stardust Corporation.
But since he had come to DC, he would take this opportunity to clean it up.
It’s time to clean up the Stardust Corporation.
This time, he had to clean up the Stardust Corporation and make it vibrant.
“Hey, punk, I’ve already said so much to you. Now, you know who you’ve offended, right? I suggest you obey me, keep a distance from my woman, and apologize to me obediently. If I’m in a good mood, I might ask my uncle to give you a position in the Stardust Corporation!
“Otherwise, I won’t spare you!”
Brent now wanted to see Lucas bowing down to him, apologizing to him, and begging for forgiveness. In that case, Alexis would be able to see clearly just what kind of a man he was and then completely give up on him!
He wanted to let Alexis know that only someone like him could be worthy of her!
Lucas suddenly sneered. “Cripple him!”
“Huh?” Brent’s arrogant expression immediately stiffened.
Before he could figure out what Lucas meant, he suddenly felt a sharp and excruciating pain coming from the wrist that Jordan was holding!
Snap!
The wrist he had wanted to hit Lucas with earlier had been completely twisted by Jordan!
“Aahhhhhh!” The miserable shriek immediately resounded throughout the hall on the first floor of the Stardust Corporation’s office building!
