Horace then hung up the phone and looked up at Truman, the general manager of the headquarters’ Inspection Department, and smiled. “Mr. Geis, did you send anyone from your investigative team directly to the audiovisual product shops?”
Truman was stunned when he heard Horace and shook his head. “There hasn’t been any arrangements of that manner as far as I’m aware, Horace. We’re old colleagues, aren’t we? I’d tell you in advance if I’d made such an arrangement.”
Horace’s expression darkened and he told Truman, “Then, I suspect that someone’s impersonating your people, Mr. Geis. The agency caught them red-handed, so perhaps we could go and take a look.”
Truman was enraged. “How could such a thing happen? Let’s go right away. We have to deal with these people harshly.”
At the same time in the shop, Ulric was overcome with joy to learn that Jasper was most likely pretending to be someone formidable.
“Just you wait, you little brat! You like to act, don’t you? I’d like to see how you f*cking keep this act up once they arrive!”
Ulric pointed at Jasper and scolded him loudly.
Despite this, Jasper remained calm.
In all honesty, considering Jasper’s current identity and status, he would truly be lowering himself if he were to engage Ulric in a verbal fight.
On the other hand, Ulric took Jasper’s silence as guilt. Ulric scoffed and looked at two of his lackeys as he cued them to block the door so that Jasper could not run.
Then, he said with a sneer, “Do you know how much trouble you’re in today, brat? I’ll beat you up and make you call me daddy later while you lie limply on the ground.”
“You’re going too far!”
Baz could not endure Ulric’s attitude any longer and said.
Horace had told Ulric not to act rashly with Jasper, but the man was not in the mood to be be soft with Baz.
Slapping Baz with the back of his hand, Ulric scolded, “Who the f*ck do you think you are? Who are you to shout at me? Give me the money you owe me, or I’ll get rid of your shop!”
After taking the slap head on, Baz was utterly mortified as he glared at Ulric with reddened eyes.
He wanted nothing more than to charge head on and fight Ulric.
However, this was his relative’s shop and not his. Not to mention that Ulric’s people outnumbered him. Baz knew that rushing into a fight would only get himself beaten up.
Hence, All Baz could do was suppress the fury he felt and swear that he would one day make a name for himself and never be taken advantage of like this again.
“Touch him again and you will regret it.” Jasper’s icy tone drifted over.
Ulric stared at Jasper and smiled wretchedly, “You can’t even protect yourself, brat Stop acting like a here.”
As they talked, a commercial vehicle came to a stop outside the car. The car doors opened, and a good number of people got out.
Horace led the group, with Easy Media’s Inspection Department’s general manager Truman trailing after him. The other employees of the Inspection Department walked behind Truman.
Ulric saw Horace and went to greet the man happily. “Horace, the stupid f*cker I was talking about is right inside.”
Horace frowned slightly since Truman was also present, and he scolded Ulric, “Watch your choice of words. This is Truman Geis, the general manager of the headquarters’ Inspection Department. He’s an old colleague of mine. What are you waiting for? Greet him!”
Ulric was not a blind man, and he immediately bowed to greet Truman, “Hello, Mr. Geis.”
Ulric chuckled and continued pleasingly, “Mr. Geis. I should make preparations to celebrate your arrival. Perhaps we could do dinner?”
This was the general manager from the headquarters’ Inspection Department!
This man was considered a formidable figure beyond Ulric’s usual network.
It made sense that he wanted to be acquainted with the man.
Truman gave a small smile and was about to reply when he looked up and saw an extremely familiar young man looking back at him expressionlessly in the shop.
