Chapter - 1162

“What you're saying is, I don't have this kind of immunity?” asked Lacey, puzzlement visible on her face.

Zeke was at a loss for words at that. “No, you misunderstood me.” “Alright, alright. I don't care about this immunity thingy. All I want is to be able to be with you and that's enough for me.”

“Oh! And I have something to tell you too.” Zeke looked at her curiously.

“What is it?” Lacey unconsciously put her hand on her belly as her face flushed red.

She felt rather shy to bring up the pregnancy herself.

Right at that very moment, the sound of things being smashed could be heard coming from downstairs.

Dawn's screams soon followed. “What are you doing? Stop! Stop it!” What's happening? A look of alarm crossed both Zeke and Lacey's faces, and they hurried downstairs.

The floor below them held the office space for the construction division of Linton Group.

The person in charge of this division was none other than Dawn Castaneda.

Eight bulky-looking men were violently trashing the office at that very moment.

The area looked like a tornado had hit it. There were even multiple staff members who had gotten hurt.

Dawn's head had also been smashed and blood was pouring out of the wound.

Despite that, she was still desperately trying to stop the brutes from doing any more damage.

When Lacey laid eyes on the destruction, her face instantly turned pale. She ran to Dawn and dragged her to a safe corner.

“Dawnie, are you okay?”

Dawn broke down in tears. “Lacey, Zeke! Quick, stop them!”

“How could they do all this?”

Zeke looked at the men and roared, “Stop! All of you, stop!”

But the eight men barely even glanced at Zeke as they continued to pummel everything in sight.

Damn it!

Zeke could no longer hold in his fury. He aimed his foot at the row of stools next to him and kicked hard.

The stools flew out like missiles and headed straight for the eight brutes.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The men flew backwards from the impact.

All of them were heavily bloodied and bruised, and one of them even had his head hit so hard that he went into shock right on the spot.

F***!

The seven other men flew into a rage. “How dare you assault us? You must have gotten tired of living! Do you even know who we work for?”

“Shut it!” hissed Zeke. “It's not your turn to speak.” F***ing hell! The men raged, “You need to be a taught lesson, you bloody imbecile!”

They pushed themselves off the ñoor.

Zeke's body tensed as he stared at them with reddened eyes. His whole body was emitting a deadly aura.

All of a sudden, it felt like the temperature around them had dropped a few degrees.

The brutes inhaled sharply. Zeke's deadly aura had completely stunned them.

That was when they realized they were standing in front of a very powerful person that they most probably shouldn't cross.

The brutes quickly shut their mouths, not daring to say anything else.

Zeke walked up to Dawn and said, “Dawnie, tell me what happened.”

Dawn sobbed, “They're thugs sent by Starburst Constructions.”

“Linton Group and Starburst Constructions were bidding for the same project a few days ago. In the end, we won the bid because we were obviously the better choice.”

“But Starburst Constructions refused to accept their defeat. They've been going around causing all kinds of trouble for us, and they want to force us into handing this project over to them at a low price.”

“Naturally, I wasn't going to give them what they wanted, so they've only gotten worse since then. They've sent people to create all sorts of trouble at our construction sites, and now they've even come right onto our doorsteps!”

Zeke frowned after hearing Dawn's account.

This was something that was commonly seen in the construction industry.

However, for Starburst Constructions to be so Vagrant about it undoubtedly meant that they had powerful connections.

But to Zeke, it really didn't matter just how powerful those connections were. They were all equally insignificant in his eyes.

Zeke looked at the brutes and ordered, “Give your boss a call. Tell him he needs to pay for all these damages!"

“Let's see. I estimate about one billion worth of property damage and another ten billion for Dawnie's medical bills. So that's eleven billion in total."

The brutes sniggered.

They had seen their share of arrogant men, but never one as arrogant as Zeke.

They had only broken a few office furniture and roughed Dawn up a little, and yet the man had the nerve to demand eleven billion from them!

Absolutely ridiculous!

Everyone knew how stingy their boss was.

He was someone who wouldn't pay anyone even one extra nickel, much less eleven billion!
