“Give me a moment. I have to check…”
Thomas wasn’t sure if the movie was in its presale, so he searched it up on the computer as he stayed on the call. “Yes. It’s on presale. What should I do?” “Book tickets for the premiere.”
“For you and Mrs. Kings?” Thomas was a little confused. He didn’t understand why he wanted to watch a movie in the cinema when the Pinewoods Villa had a private cinema hall. “Block booking. For everyone in the office.”
“Which company?”
“All of them!”
“All?”
Yes.” Matthew’s confirmation stunned Thomas. Then, he nodded before acknowledging the instruction, “Okay, Young Master. I’m on it.”
Matthew had a few companies under his name and many factories too. So, they had at least a few hundred thousand employees.
If the company invited everyone to the movie, they wouldn’t just be footing the expense of movie tickets, but they would also experience massive losses as the company would stop operations for half a day.
On the other hand, Conrad returned to the Spinfluence Group after the beating at the Kings Residence with a vengeful heart toward Matthew and Veronica. Later on, he returned to his villa but still couldn’t calm the anger in his heart.
He was restless and decided to return to the office as he wanted to numb himself by working. Alas, it didn’t work since he couldn’t focus at all.
Ring. Ring. Ring. His phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and answered without looking at the screen, “Who is it?”
“Hello, I’m Buckner.” The person spoke in Chinese as he introduced himself. “Buckner?” Conrad couldn’t recall who he was and frowned as he went deep in thought. Suddenly, he recounted Zac mentioning that person to him some time ago.
His full name was Buckner Dawson. He was the mysterious man hiding in the dark controlling Hendrey and Xavier. His identity was unknown. “You are… Buckner Dawson?”
Conrad wasn’t too sure of his identity and asked to confirm. “Yes,” Buckner confirmed his identity. Now, Conrad was surprised. He never thought that Bucker would call him personally. He couldn’t help but grin from ear to ear but asked tentatively, “Hi. Hello. How may I help you?”
“I heard that you know about Zac’s death. If you can find out how he died, perhaps, I can give you what you want.”
The words-Give you what you want was a general statement, but it held a considerable temptation for Conrad. Conrad was taken aback by the offer, but he immediately nodded profusely. “Yes. Yes. I’ll be sure to find out Zac’s true cause of death.”
“You have two weeks.” “T-Two weeks?” The smile on Conrad’s face slowly faded away. “Buckner, isn’t two weeks too short?”
“That will have to depend on your skills,” he replied before hanging up the phone. Conrad heard the beeping sound that signaled the end of the call in puzzlement and fell in a heap helplessly as he zoned out.
Why did Buckner call him to ask about Zac? He knew this was a complicated situation. It had to be because he messaged Zac’s brother, Joey Francis.
Well, that didn’t matter since he could now see the light at the end of the tunnel. As long as he could find out the truth about Zac’s death within two weeks, he would have a new backer that was stronger than before.
Then, when I’m going to bring Matthew down… No. When I want to destroy him, it will be as easy as killing an ant.
