After a short while, Sam returned with an embarrassed look on his face. "Sir, the KING Group said that their shareholders left two hours ago. They should have arrived already."
The other shareholders were shocked by the news.
"Go find out what's going on and who's responsible," Jacob ordered. Jacob took hold of his glass and watched the red wine swaying in it. It took all of his self-control to not crush the glass he was holding in his hand.
"Right away, sir." Sam nodded and followed Jacob's order.
Soon, he found out that it was Darren who had sent people to kidnap the KING Group shareholders.
"Sir, the shareholders have been kidnapped. Darren is the one responsible," Sam informed Jacob. Sam stood in front of Jacob, lowering his head and waiting for his next oder. Jacob kept silent for a moment.
He finally sighed after a few minutes. 'The bold Darren has dared to cross me by disrupting my business, ' Jacob thought bitterly, his hands clenching into fists.
Darren had obviously gone crazy. Nobody in their right mind would ever go against Jacob.
Meanwhile, Darren sat comfortably at his house and looked at the shareholders tied up in front of him. A malicious smile was plastered on his face.
"Please forgive me for having to resort to kidnapping all of you," Darren said without a single drop of remorse in his voice. He then raised his glass of wine and admired it in silence.
"What do you want from us?" one of the shareholders barked at Darren. Darren turned his head to the one that spoke, quietly admiring his guts. He had noticed that the man had specially raised his voice and everyone could hear the irony in his words. He did not immediately answer. He just kept flashing his evil smile at his hostages.
All the shareholders were tied to their chairs and surrounded by Darren's hulking men. Although trembling with fear, the one who spoke kept his eyes fixed on Darren.
"I heard that you want to cooperate with Jacob's company. I'm simply wondering if I should have the honor of doing business with you instead. After all, we have a history. We used to work together." Darren calmly took a sip of his wine and smiled. For a moment, he looked strangely charming in his wheelcha
rous.
Outside the door, Sam took a deep breath and knocked.
"Come in," Jacob murmured.
Sam slowly pushed the door open. Before Jacob could turn to face him, he spoke. "Sir, this is all my fault. I'm sorry I let Darren succeed."
"It's okay. No one could have foreseen it. Go get some rest." Jacob had calmed down a little. His face had returned to his usual, indifferent look.
"Thank you, sir." Sam walked out and shut the door behind him.
Jacob sat in his office chair and looked out the window, his eyes burning with cold fury.
"You really think you can beat me this way, Darren? You might find it surprising that this is actually the first step of your failure.
It's not over. It has only just begun."
Jacob had always observed Darren's empire. All his money came from his casinos in F Country. Although he earned a lot from his several casinos, it would be difficult for him to earn back the money he had used to buy the KING Group shares.
If the KING Group did not make any profit, Darren's investment would be in vain.
That was a fall Darren could not survive, and even if he did, it would be difficult for him to make a comeback.
Thinking of this, Jacob could not help smiling. He could not wait to get the show rolling.
He took a huge gulp of air and closed his eyes. A cold smile spread crossed his handsome face.
Those who dared to hurt him were bound to face dire consequences. People had always paid hefty prices for doing Jacob wrong.
