The Hero

Chapter 282 A Stool of Flies

What happened to Alexis and Tiger passed. Javier doesn't pay attention to what's going to happen, nor does he deserve to be noticed.

He's focused on two things now. One is whether Quinna can resolve the delays and objections from Jesse and the other to forging a business partnership with him in a hydrogen-fueled vehicle, and the other is a conflict between William and Arthur.

It had been days, but both remained silent. It doesn't feel right!

Did Arthur swallow him again and wait for an opportunity to end William for good? If that was the case, his uncle was very patient, and he would have to take care of him in the future.

However, the next afternoon after Javier thought about it, he received a call from Ciara.

"Javier, William's lover outside was robbed and killed, and some people did."

That meant it was a group attack and action aimed at making William a cuckold!

Ciara later tells him that William has ordered an investigation in anger and tracks him down to Arthur's men. It just so happened that the man was the one William had bought, but now he found it as a corpse.

William understands that it is Arthur's revenge, and the latter tells him explicitly that he killed the woman and the spy he sent also perished.

“Both fight at home. You don't know, Javier. Uncle Arthur did an amazing act. He looked weak and sickly before like he couldn't even fight a woman, but when he fought William, he killed one of his guards on the spot.

* If grandfather didn't get there in time, William might have just died. By the way, Uncle Arthur broke some of his ribs and spleen, so William was hospitalized. Grandpa punishes Arthur for kneeling at home.”

Arthur was trained in martial arts. Javier knows when he came back last time. After all, not everyone could kick a sturdy wooden recliner into pieces.

It's just that he didn't expect Arthur's revenge to be so brutal that he beat William up and ended up in the hospital. From what it looks like, he believes in his relationship with Sigmund.

That's a good thing. Javier doesn't expect Arthur and William to fight aggressively, but they don't want to fight with him or the people around him.

After understanding what is going on in the family, Javier calls Ciara again.

“Cici, don't mix anything that happens at home. Just pretending to know nothing. This has nothing to do with you. As long as you hang out with grandfather every day, none of them will dare to touch you.

Ciara replied, “Alright, Javier. I've understood. Don'worry. I won't let them have a chance to hurt me.

Ciara growing and growing makes more sense now. That's a relief for Javier.

The girl then asked, “When will you be back?”

Javier chuckles. “You miss me when I've only been away for a few days? Why didn't I realize that you were pretty never satisfied in the past, huh?

"Omong empty! That's not true!" Ciara whined on the phone before pressing, "So when are you back?"

“I've been rather busy recently. The old fox's task was not simple. It's quite troublesome. Maybe some time later. I'll ask someone to bring you here if there's a safe opportunity.

Command order Javier pleases Ciara. He knew that he was only this resolute because he was worried about him. Moreover, he had promised to take her out if there was a right time, so it filled her with happy expectations.

The two talked sweetly on the phone for a while before they hung up.

At the same time, Quinna re-launched the hydrogen vehicle at an executive meeting. He was very prepared this time and knew which point to reach. He does not expect Jesse to step down but his minions are aware of their conscience and awaken their morals and patriotism, so that the Heisenberg Group can soar again.

In reality, he exaggerated the minions and once again underestimated their thirst for profit.

When Jesse declares that the discussion is over, once again, his minions stand behind him in support and refuse to budge.

As the chairman, Walt, said, this is not his own company, so the decision must be approved by more than half of the people.

The sad thing is that Jesse's henchmen number less than half, but most of the others chose to remain silent.

It caused at least one to support Quinna, and it made her feel angry and helpless.

“Good if young people want to build something and achieve something, but should not rush. Someone has to stay grounded. You eat a spoonful at a time, so you walk step by step. We won with secured!”

Quinna sneered at the ridicule of Jesse who was smiling. "It's safer, and we'll have moss growing on our turtle shells!"

He compares the Heisenberg Group to turtles in describing how slow it is. Everyone in the meeting understood it, but no one sang it. They might think, 'Let it be a turtle'. At least the tortoise was alive and fed. It was useless if he turned into a rabbit and died from exhaustion.

After the meeting ended, Quinna grew even more furious as she thought about it. To be honest he did not understand how good news like this was blocked. He took the document, stormed into the chairman's office, and threw the document at Walt's desk.

“Everyone will fight as well if this is in foreign company or other local car company, but the fight will end at who takes over the project to clinch this particular achievement in their own hands and put it into their portfolio for future promotions.

“Here, however, this is definitely something great, but why are there so many obstacles? Why can't it work? Mr. Schrader, can't you think of a solution? It's always a meeting, then another meeting, then another meeting! You are the chairman!

Walt rubbed his forehead, looking helpless.

“Do you think I don't want it? How many times have I told you that I don't own this company myself? I would give a big green project if it was just mine, but it wasn't mine. Not only that, on it there is..”.

Walt closed his mouth at that moment. Some things are better left unsaid, as long as they understand them. What's more, the people above the company aren't the ones Tom, ***, or Harry can talk to.

“It is not our right to decide. You don't understand.”

Quinna snorted, crossing her arms. “Yes, I don't understand. I just understand that businesses have to make money. It's like how a security guard has to keep security at the door, and a worker has to work well. This is their job, this is our job!

“When a business does not prioritize profits and leaves a profitable business, leaves a battle that we can win, and does things that businesses should not, why should this business exist!?

“It may also fail, and we can change our name. Don't call it Heisenberg, call it Failure. It failed sooner or later, it might as well live up to its name!
