“Who are you, anyway? Do you even have a right to speak here?” Maverick asked with a cold expression.
He had noticed Jaziel a while ago. When Heather sat down earlier, Jaziel and Harlan were standing on either side of her, indicating their high status.
Maverick had initially assumed that Jaziel was Heather’s assistant or something of the sort. After all, based on the lack of calluses on Jaziel’s hands and the absence of developed muscles, he didn’t seem like someone with high combat prowess.
However, Jaziel didn’t respond to his question. Instead, he continued. “Ten million. Consider it as your compensation to Dominion Group. I can overlook what you’ve done to Dominion Group in the past.”
Heather stood there, her expression one of utter shock
She never expected that Jaziel would say something like that.
–
There was no doubt that Jaziel was a business owner, and it was equally true that his background was far from simple.
However, in the current situation, even Harlan had been defeated. She thought it wasn’t a good idea to Jaziel to provoke the opposition at this time.
Even if Jaziel had a strong background, it was wiser to settle accounts later on..
After all, it was clear at first glance that Maverick was an unscrupulous person..
Maverick twirled the teacup in his hand, a smirk tugging at his lips. “Where did this clueless kid come from? He really doesn’t know what he’s getting himself into.”
“I’m the boss of Dominion Group, not some clueless kid,” Jaziel said casually.
At this point, everyone present was taken aback, except for Heather.
Everyone knew that Dominion Group was managed by Heather, but only a select few were aware of the true mastermind behind the scenes.
Unexpectedly, that person turned out to be so young.
Maverick quickly regained his composure, saying with a fake smile plastered on his face, “So, you’re the boss of Dominion Group. You’re such a successful young man. It’s truly a pleasure to meet you. Since you’re the owner of Dominion Group, it’s a perfect opportunity for us to discuss potential collaborations. Once the contract is signed, we’ll be more than just business associates. We’ll be like brothers. Ms. Gellert is quite naive, so I presume you, as the boss, ought to be more sensible than her, right? After all, those who
end.” are ignorant often meet a tragic
Jaziel chuckled and said, “Did you get kicked in the head by a mule or something? Like I said before, I’m not signing the contract. Just compensate Dominion Group with ten million, and we’ll consider the matter settled”
Maverick narrowed his eyes. “As expected of the boss of Dominion Group, you do have a grandiose air about you. I presume you must have a powerful backing. However, let me tell you something. Prosperity

Corporation is backed by the Wennink family of Jeahren. Whatever connections you may have, they’re useless.”
Jaziel remained silent, but Maverick thought Jaziel was at his wits end. This only made Maverick feel even more triumphant.
Maverick took a puff of his cigar, slowly rising to his feet. “Mr. Lassche, it’s really Dominion Group’s lack of foresight that’s to blame. If you had given the project to Prosperity Corporation from the start, we wouldn’t have all these issues. Of course, I am willing to give you the chance to correct your mistakes. If you sign this contract today, everything will be negotiable. If not, there’s no telling what I might do. When the time comes, you’ll understand what despair feels like. For instance, having your tendons severed, something like that. For my subordinates, those are the things they’re familiar with.”
Maverick was feeling rather pleased with himself.
Being backed by the Wennick family sure was a sweet deal. He had the audacity to humiliate the boss of Dominion Group, and the guy didn’t even dare to utter word.
“Do you feel frustrated right now, angry, wanting to hit me? However, you don’t dare to. That’s because your fate is in my hands. Let me give you a piece of advice, my friend. Having more friends opens up more paths, so don’t burn your bridges.” Maverick was becoming increasingly audacious.
However, a slight squint formed in Jaziel’s eyes.
At that moment, Maverick poured a cup of tea and handed it to Jaziel, saying, “My friend, take a sip of this
tea and kindly sign the contract.”
After he finished speaking, he saw that Jaziel didn’t respond. Angrily, he roared, “Don’t be the type who “chooses the hard way! I told you to drink! Didn’t you hear me?”
At last, Jaziel reached out and took the teacup.
Heather’s heart sunk to the depths when she saw that.
Jaziel, who she had initially hoped would step up and make a difference, had instead, to her surprise, only ended up humiliating himself.
It was indeed her own fault for not being fully prepared. She had only sought out Harlan, thinking he would be enough to control the situation.
still
Maverick placed the cigar in his mouth, taking a deep puff. His face was filled with smug satisfaction and mockery. “The boss of Dominion Group? What a joke. You’re just a greenhorn. In my presence, you have to bow obediently.”
Beside them, the woman in the gown who was responsible for making tea couldn’t help but shake her head. in secret. Indeed, no one can rival Maverick, not even the boss of Dominion Group.
Furthermore, the thugs wore expressions of sheer disdain.
“The mighty boss of Dominion Group is forced to act submissively before Mr. Daneels.”
“Mr. Daneels is truly formidable. Who would dare to oppose Prosperity Corporation in the future?”
“It’s a good thing this young man knew his place. Otherwise, I would have broken his legs.”

Jaziel did not drink the tea. He was simply gazing at Maverick with a nonchalant expression people never truly understand who or what they’re really facing”
In the next moment, Jaziel splashed the tea directly onto Maverick’s face. He stepped forward, grabbe Maverick’s hair, and slammed his head onto the table.
Without a second thought, Jaziel swiftly grabbed the fruit knife from the table and forcefully plunged it into the back of Maverick’s hand.
Ilhoosh!
The fruit knife pierced straight through Maverick’s palm, embedding itself into the table. Immediately. fresh blood began to seep out.
“Ah!”
Maverick let out a chilling scream.
Heather couldn’t help but shudder, staring in shock at everything that was unfolding
Surprisingly, Jaziel had actually made a move against Maverick.
Moreover, Maverick’s palm had been pierced through.
The woman in the cheongsam, who was responsible for making tea, was turning pale with fright
The numerous henchmen, who reacted instantly, couldn’t help but feel a bit intimidated upon Jaziel’s methods. This young man is ruthless….

In the next moment, without any hesitation, they charged forward, brandishing their blades and clubs.
Jaziel released his hand from arop Maverick’s head and flexed his wrists before stepping forward to meet what was coming.
