The five men in the room, in addition to Juan and Carlos, were big figures in the economy and banking, and one of them had a dark network with snaking branches, it was almost the same as the influence Juan had in this dark world.
While the man who wanted Ayana was one of the important officials of the government who had the power to smooth out their illegal business actions and transactions. In other words, not a random person that could be ignored just like that.
Especially with the influence they have, it will be a very serious thing if one of the people in this room is in conflict with each other.
However, Carlos did not seem like he was going to retreat.
“He said, he did not want to,” Carlos said in a calm, but threatening tone.
At once, the atmosphere that had felt pleasant and passionate, suddenly turned hot and tense.
There was no longer the sound of the spoiled laughter of the women there, not even the loud thumping sound of music, which was the background of this gripping situation, was unable to restore the mood of all of them.
“How about I force?” ask the officer in a low voice. His eyes looked at Ayana, then Carlos defiantly.
“Give it, there are still many other women here who are much more attractive and in accordance with your tastes,” said the fat man. He tried to liven up the atmosphere again by offering a drink, but no one was interested.
Their focus now is only on the official and Carlos. It's much more interesting.
Sometimes they would look at Juan. Carlos is in power, but Juan is the real boss. Without Juan, Carlos would have maintained his position in this harsh and dangerous environment.
But Juan didn't seem to see what was going on between his best friend and business partner. He seemed to be enjoying his drink in a relaxed manner.
“How about I say no?” Carlos turned his attention to the man who suggested that he give up Ayana. “I told you, didn't I? You can take her away if she agrees with your invitation, but as you can hear, she prefers me.”
The official brushed off Carlos's hand with a red face, clearly showing that what Carlos said had hurt his pride.
It's no longer a woman's problem.
“You do not know that your efforts will not run without my help?” asked the man in a proud tone, he looked at Carlos then Juan. “Looks like this guy of yours needs a little lesson, what do you think Juan?”
Juan was not at all interested in the quarrel that occurred, he continued sipping his drink. But, in the end he said, “he's not my man. He's my coworker, just like you.”
Carlos smiled at hearing that. He has calculated this. Juan will not stay silent if there is someone who harasses him or his business.
Unfortunately, this official actually started by threatening Juan's business and would not smooth the way, if Carlos did not obey his orders.
Of course this will upset Juan and Carlos is very good at knowing the nature of Juan.
Juan was quite aware of how it affected Carlos.
“Then tell this colleague of yours to behave well and hand over the girl,” the man said furiously. People like them, will look Carlos one eye, because he was covered by Juan's success, as if Carlos was in the shadow of his best friend.
“You can tell him yourself.” Juan placed an empty glass on the table and leaned his back against the chair consciousness. “Didn't you hear directly what he said?”
“Juan.” The man called his name with a heavy voice. “You wouldn't embarrass me just for a cheap girl, would you? Hand over the girl and we can go back to having fun.” His pride is hurt by accepting rejection in the presence of his business associates.
While the other four men seemed to be enjoying this small commotion.
“Didn't you embarrass yourself by forcing yourself to ask for something that the owner has clearly rejected. I don't care if you take the girl as long as Carlos allows it. Besides, the girl is not mine.” Juan grinned when he saw anger dancing in the eyes of his interlocutors.
“You won't say this if you think about your business that I have to sign.” The official looked at Juan with a look of reproach.
Juan's new business is certain to not run smoothly without his signature and approval. However, he should know that Juan cannot be threatened like that, especially when it comes to business matters.
They are dirty players, so it is certain that no business will go fair between them. All ways are legitimate.
Even if they are in one room and enjoy the same music and atmosphere, it does not mean they will not pounce on each other if they feel their territory is threatened.
“You won't threaten not to approve my business, if you know I'm holding a record of your dark activities.” Juan grunting. “Dark activity recording all of you.”
“Juan!” hardik to the four men in the room.
“I can set up another business if this business does not go according to plan, but..” Juan stared at them one by one with a spotlight that made them silent. “What about your important position when all the footage about your dirty football is distributed to the public?” Juan chuckled as he poured the drink into his glass. “Think well. Are you sure you can maintain your position now?”
Businesses can grow and expand or fall and lose, but Juan has so many branches of business that allow him not to care so much about one business that must be hampered by licensing.
However, in contrast to public figures who have to keep their image clean, no matter how dirty they are.
Because once they fall from their high position now, then there is no guarantee they will have enough time to grab it again.
They could end up being the insults of society or languishing in prison. Both options will not benefit them.
And therefore, Juan plays the information he has very well, while Carlos has predicted this step will be taken by Juan, therefore, he dared to behave like that.
“So, please stop taking interest in my woman,” Carlos said in a calm voice, half hugging Ayana next to him. “Go look for another cheap woman.”
