Chapter 876: No Prestige
Seeing Alexis’s actions, Lucas was first surprised and then immediately felt touched.
This slender and vulnerable little girl, who was deathly pale facing the numerous burly and armed security guards, was s.h.i.+vering in fear, yet she still dared to try and protect him from so many people.
How could Lucas not be touched by this?
“Alexis, step back.” Lucas’s voice became much gentler as he spoke to Alexis.
“No, t-they want to hit you. I won’t let them hit you! Lucas, I’ll stop them. You guys hurry and leave quickly!”
Alexis’s voice was already shaking, but she nonetheless stood firmly in front of Lucas to s.h.i.+eld him. She even asked him to run away with Jordan while she blocked the security guards.
It was so… lovable of her.
Lucas smiled and walked forward to grab Alexis and place her behind him. “Don’t worry. I’ll be fine.”
“Hah, punk, you even have the guts to harm Mr. Morris’s nephew. None of you are allowed to leave today!” The security captain sneered.
He had managed to obtain his position as security captain only with the help of Richard, so he had to please Richard and not let off these two who had the guts to harm Brent.
“Go! Hit him regardless of who is blocking! Today, you must beat these two until they’re crippled!” the security captain bellowed.
The security guards immediately charged forward.
A bloodthirsty joy appeared in Jordan’s eyes as he shook his wrists, waiting for a huge fight.
“Stop!”
The moment they were about to get physical, a furious shout suddenly sounded!
Hearing the shout, the security guards immediately stopped.
...
“Ah, it’s Flynn Davis, the general manager of Stardust Corporation!” someone exclaimed in astonishment when they recognized him.
Indeed, the person who shouted and hurried over was Flynn Davis.
Flynn was livid. He still didn’t know that Lucas had come to DC. As soon as he entered the office, he saw the commotion, followed by Lucas, who was being surrounded by a bunch of security guards about to attack him.
Flynn was so shocked that he was about to wet his pants!
What was Lucas’s ident.i.ty?
He was the chairman of the Stardust Corporation!
If the chairman of the corporation was beaten up by his own security guards, it would be completely unreasonable!
It was especially so since Lucas was not to be trifled with.
Flynn had come to DC for over a month, and he had barely completed the task Lucas had a.s.signed him. Now, if Lucas was a.s.saulted by the company’s security guards, Flynn would die!
A layer of cold sweat broke out on Flynn’s face as he hurried over to Lucas.
“Mr. Davis, what are you doing? Just now, these two boys broke Mr. Morris’s nephew’s hand and even knocked him out! We were about to catch these two kids and teach them a lesson!
“But you suddenly told us to stop. It would be terrible if Mr. Morris found out about this!
“Mr. Davis, I suggest that you stop meddling in our business. Otherwise, it won’t be good for anyone!” the security captain said to Flynn. But there was no respect in his tone at all. Instead, it was full of contempt and threat.
Lucas immediately narrowed his eyes. But looking at Flynn hurriedly walking over to greet him, Lucas winked, telling him not to reveal his ident.i.ty at this moment.
Flynn understood and slowed down his pace.
He looked at the security captain who had just spoken and said with a cold and solemn look on his face, “What did you just say?”
The security captain was not the slightest bit afraid even when facing Flynn, the general manager.
“I just said that Mr. Morris’s nephew was beaten up by these two boys in the Stardust Corporation. This matter is extremely terrible, so we must deal with these two punks sternly!
“Mr. Davis, just stay out of this. If you don’t want to cause trouble, you’d better keep quiet!” the security captain said a.s.sertively.
“You’re just a security captain. Do I need you to teach me what to do?” Flynn flew into a rage and rebuked him immediately.
With contempt on his face, the security captain said nonchalantly, “Mr. Davis, what are you doing? I’ve made it very clear that these two punks have to pay the price for beating up Mr. Morris’s nephew! But you’re blocking us here. Is it possible that you instructed them to do it?
“Even if you don’t get along with Mr. Morris, you should use this method, right?”
Being reprimanded by Flynn in front of so many people, the security captain was naturally upset. Besides, he wasn’t a fool, so he immediately thought of a reason for this matter and put the responsibility on Flynn.
It was a very scheming move.
If Flynn still wanted to stop them from making a move against Lucas, it would be confirmed that Flynn was the instigator.
But if Flynn backed off, his prestige as the general manager in name would be greatly affected again, and no one would take him seriously.
When Richard learned of this, he would definitely praise and promote him!
Lucas was watching how Flynn was going to solve the issue in front of him.
If Flynn couldn’t deal with this tricky security captain even with Lucas by his side, Lucas would be extremely disappointed in him and even wonder if he had made a mistake in choosing to send Flynn to DC to take over the Stardust Group headquarters for him.
Flynn looked at the arrogant security captain coldly and ordered in an extremely domineering manner, “You actually talked back to the general manager and disobeyed orders. I hereby announce that all of you are fired!”
Honestly speaking, Flynn felt relieved when he made this decision.
He had been in DC for more than a month, and during these days at the headquarters of the Stardust Corporation, he had been extremely careful in everything he said and did. It was as if he had been walking on thin ice, afraid that if he did or said something wrong, the Huttons’ cronies would get something on him and then use it to attack Lucas, the chairman.
But even though he had been extremely cautious and felt as though he had been walking on thin ice, all the people of the Stardust Corporation headquarters didn’t treat him seriously at all. Some would even contradict him in his face.
He had no prestige in the company, and no one listened to what he said.
Now, even a small security captain dared to be so arrogant in front of him, not paying any attention to him in the slightest. He even wanted to frame him in front of so many people.
But now, the company’s chairman, the real owner of the corporation, Lucas, was standing right beside him. If he still didn’t dare to speak, it would be better to get rid of him as the general manager!
The security officer sneered and said fearlessly, “Hah, we work for Mr. Morris. Even if you want to fire us, I’m afraid you don’t have the right!”
