Money Only to Burn

Chapter 107

Harlan then paid each worker and encouraged them to return to work.

Any delay in a big project like this would cost a lot of money. Harlan makes an appointment with Sean for Cyril.

At night, at a hotel near the construction site, Cyril was sitting in a VIP box, waiting for Sean.

While he waited, he read about the Maddox family in the east of the city, thanks to a brief dispatch by Natasha.

Shortly after, Sean shows up at the hotel as promised. He pushed the door open with a proud face.

Seeing Cyril was waiting for him, he greeted him in an unfriendly tone.

"Mr Woodley, I'm sorry I made you wait! What do you want?"

"You're the one who secretly made foreman Dale Craven run away with money, right?" Cyril stopped convolving and asked frankly as soon as Sean came.

"It has nothing to do with me!" Sean laughs.

He then poured himself a glass of wine and gulped it down at once.

"He's already a fugitive and will soon be caught. We will defeat his confession. Then you'll be on the hook, " said Cyril lightly.

"really? But what does this have to do with me? " Sean kept ignoring the situation, or she just wanted to enjoy Cyril's anxious gaze. He still remembered that Cyril had cheated him out of his stock.

"Of course it has something to do with you! If you don't want your family to go bankrupt, I advise you to hand it over. " Cyril's calm tone carries little threat.

"Are you saying you're going to deal with the Maddox family, a first-rate rich family in the east of the city?

"I know you're a shareholder of the Hinton Hotel right now, but it's too early for you to pull." Sean's face suddenly became fierce.

After sipping the wine, he continued. "I just want the Hinton Hotel to go bankrupt. Since you tricked me, I'll screw you up. That's what I call revenge, buddy!

Cyril believes Dale was once Sean's pawn. However, he had a way to force Sean to give up Dale.

"Sean, you asked for it."

"What's gonna happen? How much will I pay? You're just an ordinary human being, so don't imagine you can deal with me.

"Let me make myself clear. Not only will I destroy the Hinton Hotel but I will destroy you. You stole my shares. It's time for revenge! "

After Sean finished his speech, he slammed the table. Hearing this, two gangsters walked in and locked the door of the private room.

"Mr Maddox, we're here waiting for your orders." They screamed when they came in.

"Defeat him as much as you can!" Sean said with a grim look.

His shares are worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and Cyril has cheated them.

If he hadn't beaten Cyril to death, he wouldn't have been able to vent his anger.

As soon as he finished his words, the higher-ups rushed towards Cyril. Cyril's eyes turned cold because he didn't expect Sean to attack him.

So, Cyril had to strike back.

He picked up the bottle on the table and threw it at the first gangster who approached him.

The exploding bottle hit his head exploding with a loud bang, beer and blood splashing everywhere.

The hitter stopped and shouted in pain. Cyril ignored her suffering and kicked her back a few meters until she hit the wall and fell.

In just a few seconds, Cyril had dropped one. The others took the opportunity to wave their fists towards Cyril.

Cyril tilted his head, barely avoiding the blow. While crouching, he punched the fat belly of the thug.

The great power of nailing the thug staggered back. Before he could stand firm, Cyril rushed forward and kicked him against the wall.

With a loud bang, the back of his skull split open and a trail of blood followed his head as he slid into the wall.

In less than five minutes, Cyril had paralysed two thugs.

Sean's heart jumped faster, while his spine shivered and twitched as if ice water was being poured onto his back.

"When did he learn how to fight like that? If I had known earlier, I would have brought more people with me. " Sean was shocked. He even started to feel nervous and scared.

"Continue. So what are you saying?" Cyril smiled faintly. He secretly rejoiced at having learned boxing from Joyce. Otherwise, he would have been seriously injured today.

"Cyril, you're good. Just wait and see. " Sean was scared.

Just as he was about to turn around and escape, Cyril rushed over and kicked him to the door.

"You think you can just run away? Where is Dale? " Say Cyril in a cold tone.

"I don't know where he is. I didn't tell him. " San wants to slide away like a squirrel.

"OK, you obviously want to be a eunuch?" Cyril sneered while taking out a dagger from his pocket.

"What do you mean?"

Seeing Cyril pull out a dagger, Sean shivered in fear.

"Literally meaning." Cyril moved the dagger to his crotch. Sean was so scared that his face turned pale. He quickly begged for mercy.

"Wait on!! I'll tell you where he is,"

It seems like this trick is very effective against any man. Cyril was very satisfied.

Sean gave up temporarily, but he still did not want to give up.

"Tell me, where is he?" Cyril threatened loudly.

"He's in an abandoned factory in the east of the city" Sean replied in a quivering voice, with cold sweat on his forehead.

"If you dare to lie to me, I will really cut your beans! "Cyril pulled out her phone and called Hatcher. He told Hatcher the address of the abandoned factory.

After receiving the hint given by Cyril, Hatcher immediately sent someone to retrieve Dale.

In the hotel's VIP room, Cyril watches over Sean, not letting him escape.

By the way, he ate something to fill his stomach. After waiting for about two or three hours, he finally received a message from Hatcher.

"Done."

After receiving this message, Cyril quietly sighed in relief, but Sean clearly did not feel relieved.

"Sean, I know you're still not sure, but soon you'll be begging me to help you."

"Huh, you want to. Being good at fighting is not enough. I'll tell you how strong my family is." He felt aggrieved and aggrieved from being humiliated again and again.

In addition, Sean knew many secrets about the Hinton Hotel. He believed that he could easily cause trouble for Cyril.

"Oh yeah? I was looking forward to it, "Cyril sneered and gave Sean his phone number.

"This is my number. You better remember it clearly. It will help you when you come to apologize to me." Cyril smiled slightly before walking out the door.

he had taught Sean a good lesson so as not to dare to make trouble again.

Sean looked at Cyril's back and said with disdain, "I won't beg you to help me!"

After Cyril got out of the hotel, he pulled out his phone and called.

"Okay, I'll be on it."

Hatcher knew that this matter was very important. After hanging up the phone, he went to arrange for people to deal with him.

Hatcher acted so quickly that she had already sent people to do so as soon as she got an order from Cyril.

The Maddox family business is mainly department stores, supermarkets, comprehensive shopping buildings. This industry more or less has potential safety hazards.

Even if it wasn't true, it wouldn't be hard to make some.

So, the next day, most of their supermarkets and shopping centers were told to stop the business and undergo security checks

Supermarkets and malls are blocked, and customers cannot go inside.

Jasper Maddox, chairman of Maddox Group, who was sitting in his office, received dozens of calls in the morning, all about information about the checks. He's feeling restless.

"What the hell is going on? Why is 70% of a company's property subject to unannounced security checks? Find out what's going on. "

"Sir, someone reported that our supermarkets and shopping malls have a security hazard." Assistant Jasper said nervously.

"Someone is playing us!" Jasper frowned as he began to recall whether he had offended the big guys recently.

It was not something an ordinary person could do to make 70% of his property close overnight. He was clearly someone with influence.

However, after thinking hard and long, he still had no clue. None of the people who socialized with him these days were able to do this.

"Who is that?"

When he was confused, the phone in his office rang. he picked it up and immediately knew what was going on.

He kicked down the table and said furiously.

"Call Sean to see me."

"Okay, I'm gonna go and ask him now." The assistant had never seen Jasper so angry or paled his face.

An hour later, Sean was called out of bed. Due to his bad mood last night and drinking a lot of wine, he slept the entire time.

So, he doesn't know what's going on. He came to the chairman's office with a submissive attitude.

Although Jasper was his father, he was afraid of him because Jasper was a man who did not draw punches.

"Dad, what can I do for you?"

"Do you want our family to go bankrupt?" Jasper stepped forward and slapped Sean in the face.

Sean's face immediately swelled up signifying just how powerful the slap was.

"Dad, what's going on?" Sean looked puzzled, but the slap woke him from a hangover.

"What the hell is going on? The Maddox family will go bankrupt because of you! " Jasper roared furiously, but Sean was still confused.

The assistant next to him reminded him in a soft voice.

"Mr Maddox, 70% of our supermarkets and shopping malls were closed for security checks this morning because someone ostensibly reported a safety hazard."

"'What? Whahuh? How is that possible? Sean's face turned pale with fear.

It was clear that someone was playing around with them, and he was so strong that he could actually get the related department to work with him.

"Who did it? Have you checked it?" Sean could not help but ask after he came to his senses.

"Who are you hurting?" Jasper scolded angrily.

"How do I offend a person with such a strong background?" As Sean said, he suddenly recalled Cyril, the man he nurtured.

"It can't be Cyril, can it? It shouldn't be possible. He was just a poor man who relied on women to come forward, "he thought.

However, Sean's conjecture was justified by his father.

"The great man has called and asked you to beg for forgiveness from a man named Cyril Woodley.

"You have to do well before the sun goes down. Otherwise, I'll kick you out of our family." Jasper said cruelly. He had to be ruthless because his son had offended a significant figure.

"What's? Whahuh? You want me to beg for his forgiveness? " San was surprised.

What Cyril said last night turned out to be true. He was more shocked about Cyril's identity. Sean never thought that Cyril would be so powerful as to cover 70% of his family's business problems.

"I told you that. You should get his forgiveness before sundown, "assert Jasper again.

Sean's body suddenly softened and his eyes were filled with despair.

Without the protection of the Maddox family, he's nothing. What choice he had other than to beg for forgiveness Cyril was checking out the location of the new hotel construction.

In fact, there is nothing to check. The new foreman was professional, so he had nothing to worry about.

Suddenly, he received a call from an unknown number. Seeing that, Cyril gave a small smile and immediately raised it.

"Cyril, where are you? I want to meet you.

"The same VIP room where we met last night. I'll wait for you!" Cyril smiled.

"You finally came begging me. But I'll make you pay the price to know that you can't offend me in the future, "he thought.

After hanging up the phone, Cyril picked up some contracts that had been prepared and walked over to the hotel.

When it was almost noon, Sean who was now out of his mind finally came to the VIP room. Cyril had lunch with great enthusiasm.

"Sean, you're here." Cyril glanced at the horrifying-looking Sean and said lightly.

"Cyril, this time I lost to you. Please let go of my family. I'm not gonna do anything to endanger the Hinton Hotel, "ask Sean while he walks in.

"I told you you should beg me. But you stand now. Why don't you kneel? " Cyril said with a smile.

Sean hesitated for a moment. Thinking about his family, he had to allow himself to be humbled.

Suddenly, he knelt down on his knees. He has no choice. He could not offend Cyril in front of him.

"Mr Woodley, I was wrong. Please let go of my family. "

Cyril sneered. How could he just let Sean go? he took out three contracts and handed them to Sean.

"This is a transfer agreement for three property businesses on your behalf. As long as you sign it, we'll be balanced, and your family business will be back to normal."

Sean finally understands that his life is now entirely in Cyril's hands.

"Okay, I'll sign it." Sean had no choice but to sign.

Otherwise, he might lose more. He took three contracts and a pen to sign his name on it.

Cyril did not use the blank paper to deceive him this time. He was eager to give up his entire fortune. That's a small price to pay.

When he finished signing, Sean suddenly collapsed to the ground, his eyes lifeless. He had lost more than half of his assets, which really made him desperate.

"good. Lunch is on me. Take your time!" Cyril put away the agreement with a smile. He finally got into a relationship with Sean.
