The Hero

Chapter 92 Is Frustrating

This means Zayn will enjoy a treat that was “extraordinary” when he was imprisoned. As soon as he thought about it, he felt shivering on his spine and could not help but shudder...

Zayn's scared. Not wanting that to happen, he told Javier, “Friends, let's negotiate, hmm? Can I give you some maybe? After all, they belonged to Odello Corp. We can split 70-30 between me and you, or even just 60 for me and 40 for you!

Seeing the man's reaction, Javier was speechless. He would rather lose his freedom than his wealth

“Sure, that's it because you can't wait to go to jail!”

Zayn stops Javier again when he declares that he will go and begs him. He later said that it was not his decision and had to ask his father, chairman of The Dunham Group.

Leaving Javier in the office, Zayn rushes to his father's office, Geoffrey Dunham. Geoffrey, who was checking some documents, asked when he saw Zayn coming in, “You're not in your office??"

He couldn't solve his question when Zayn cut him off with a long face, "Dad, shit.we're in trouble."

He handed over the documents Javier had brought to Geoffrey and Geoffrey felt his heart plummet as he examined them. As chairman, he managed to maintain his composure more than Zayn. After understanding the situation in general, he called the lawyers from their legal department and handed the documents to him.

The lawyer studied it closely for five minutes and finally shook his head. "There's no way. Once this is filed, it will be a solid case. The most we can do is fight to reduce the sentence. There's nothing more we can do. The proof provided is absolutely valid.”

Geoffrey. “Then, why haven't they filed a lawsuit? Could there be false evidence here?”

The lawyer shook his head again. “The odds are almost zero. From what I see, there are only two reasons why the other party did not file a lawsuit and chose to settle it personally. One, it will take too long to process the case in court. And two, he must have had another request.

Geoffrey sent the lawyer away after consulting him on some other matters. He then sat in his chair and pondered, meanwhile with a deep frown on his face.

Zayn looked troubled as he continued muttering, “Dad, I don't want to go to jail. I don't want to be imprisoned.”.

"Enough! Stop complaining. Let me think!”

After yelling at Zayn, Geoffrey racked his brain for a few minutes before speaking, “Go. Meet Kersey. I'll talk to the lawyer again.”

Instructing Zayn away, Geoffrey called the lawyer again and they began a silent discussion at the office. As the lawyer alleged, Javier did not sue Zayn for those two reasons.

Javier had waited more than ten minutes in Zayn's office before Zayn reappeared. Despite this, he began to convolve with it, starting from breaking the stock 5-5, to 4-6, to 3-7, while avoiding the core of the problem.

All of that made Javier wave in denial. “I see it now. You want to go behind bars. There is nothing more you can do.”

Zayn almost cried. As Javier continues to threaten to report him to the police, he feels completely helpless. His father had asked him to stop Javier, but how did he do it under such circumstances?

When Zayn nearly lost his mind, the lawyer walked in. He walked up to Javier and asked, “You are the Manager of Reivaj Group, Javier Kersey, right? I'm an attorney from the legal department of the Dunham Group and have received instructions from our chairman, Mr. Geoffrey Dunham, to discuss this with you.”

Zayn breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that the lawyer had been appointed by Geoffrey, assuming that his father had found a solution. But the next thing came as a surprise when the lawyer said, “On behalf of Mr. Zayn here, we will return all ex-Odello Corporation subsidiaries to you. Do you have any other requests?"

Zayn's upset. Why did the lawyer return the company to Javier on his behalf? Why would he need a representative to do that?

The lawyer was serious about his return. After several exchanges with Javier, he called the legal team and other relevant departments to begin a handover of property rights and others to The Reivaj Group. They didn't have to personally pay attention to these things, they just had to hand them over to their subordinates and have them complete the transaction.

Jesus, is the lawyer crazy? Is that why he acts like this?!

Angry, Zayn clutched the lawyer's collar. “Whose side are you on, huh ?! It is not enough that you return all the companies, but you even ask if he has another request?!

"Tell me, did Javier Kersey pay you, you piece of shit ..."

The lawyer, clearly unhappy with being scolded and insulted, protects himself by Geoffrey's name, asking Zayn to go see his father if he wants to say something.

Unable to do anything about it, Zayn could only let go of his grip despite the rage controlling within him.

Javier, who saw the whole thing, did not comment. He answered the lawyer's question, “Because of the fact that you have caused a certain substantial loss to the former owner of Odello Corporation, you must replace it. We won't ask for much. Only 12.6 million dollars.”

Zayn lost his composure at the request.

"12.6 million dollars? Javier Kersey, did you blackmail us or cheat us?”

He looked at the lawyer at once. “He's bullshit. Those companies did not even suffer any losses … "

Zayn was still explaining but the lawyer immediately nodded. "of course. We will transfer the money to you now.”

Upon hearing that, Zayn kicked the lawyer. “You must have taken Kersey's money, you son of a bitch, traitor! I will beat you to death today!”

He took the chair and was about to drop it to the lawyer when the lawyer shouted, covering his head, “This is the chairman's instruction. Ask her!"

It was a timely shout or Zayn would actually smash the chair at him. Zayn then pulled out his phone to call Geoffrey and arrogantly complained about the lawyer working against them.

Geoffrey's answer was simple. “Shut! and do as the lawyer says!"

Zayn. The hundreds of millions of assets he had painstakingly acquired were returned in just seconds. And they've spent another 12.6 million dollars on top of that. It left Zayn frustrated and angry to no end.

The lawyer got up and cleared himself before starting negotiations with Javier again.

"Trs. Kersey, 12.6 million dollars is really too much. Is it possible for us to bid lower? ”

"Sure!" Javier agrees generously. “12.599 million dollars then. You can take a thousand dollars as a tip. ”

It's not just Zayn who's angry right now. The lawyer also felt a fire growing inside him. How could he say that? That's very upsetting. Javier only offers a thousand dollar discount—and in the name of a tip.

Why would Javier take a lawyer like him? Waiter at the restaurant?

But what can he do? Javier obviously had the upper hand in this situation, so the lawyer could only swallow his anger and agree to transfer the amount.

At the side, Zayn hugged his head and squatted on the floor, crying in anger. First, he lost the company, then he lost the money. It's just frustrating..
