King's Awakening C.386 - : Public Opinion Determines Gold? White Mitchell’s Order!

Chapter 386: Chapter 386: Public Opinion Determines Gold? White Mitchell’s Order!

With the contract in hand, Sherry Jones was weeping like rain, choking back sobs as she sought an explanation from the Jones family.

However, right here and now, members of the Jones family merely stood apathetically, treating her as if she were a stranger.

Not only that, Snowden Jones took this opportunity to add insult to injury: “Sherry, what do you mean by this? Are you implying that we, the Jones family, forced you at gunpoint to sign this contract?”

“Exactly. It’s all spelled out in black and white, with your signature, your seal. And you still want to deny it? What do you take our Jones family for?” Amanda voiced her agreement.

“No, this isn’t the contract I signed. I distinctly remember agreeing to give you only half of the shares in the company. I’m certain I didn’t see it wrong! I didn’t!” Sherry cried out, tears streaming down her cheeks, her voice filled with self-reproach.

She was acutely aware of the importance of the Nezzi New Town project.

If she lost Nezzi New Town, not to mention the people who White Mitchell had offended for her sake, even the Jones family would never let him off the hook.

This was White Mitchell’s lifeline!

Even if she weren’t the chief contractor, she absolutely could not stand by and see White Mitchell get in trouble.

Witnessing Sherry’s tearful desperation, White Mitchell felt as though his heart had been brutally stabbed, and tremors of rage started to surge up within him.

As they watched Sherry reduced to tears, far from showing sympathy, Snowden Jones sarcastically remarked, “Crying won’t help. Your commitment is in black and white. It’s not up to you to deny it.

You were the one who personally begged us to help White Mitchell. Now we’ve reached out to our Capital City branch for assistance to resolve the problem, so you plan to reneg?

How much cheaper do you expect to get?”

Amanda continued mocking Sherry: “Do you really think you were the one who secured the Nezzi New Town project?

In my view, Nezzi New Town only chose to assign the project to you because they were showing respect to our Capital City main branch.

You, on the other hand, are taking all the credit and have the audacity to kick our Jones family out of the picture? How dare a thankless wretch like you cry victim here? Disgusting!”

At this time, Old Madam Jones, brandishing her dragon-head cane, assumed the posture of a domineering matriarch and coldly stated: “If you want to cry, go do it outside. Don’t sully our home.

But let me warn you: don’t try to pull any tricks here. The Nezzi New Town project now belongs to the Jones family. It’s not up to you to deny it.

Otherwise, even if we can’t deal with you, the people from our Capital City branch certainly won’t let you off!

You’d better consider carefully if you and White Mitchell have the strength to contend with our Capital City people!”

A threat!

An outright threat!

Upon hearing this, Sherry sank into despair, feeling an overwhelming sense of hopelessness and guilt.

“The Capital City Jones family?”

Hearing the mocking tone of the Jones family, White Mitchell felt his fury, which had been simmering inside him, finally explode.

He swiftly stepped forward, shielding Sherry behind him, and glared down at the Jones family members.

For a moment, a sharp, chilling glare reflected in White Mitchell’s eyes, causing members of the Jones family to tremble involuntarily, unable to meet his gaze.

Finally, White Mitchell’s gaze fell onto Lisa Jones, who sat arrogantly in the main seat.

The moment Lisa met White’s gaze, her heart trembled uncontrollably, as if being stared down by a ferocious beast, completely terrifying her.

“Why are this kid’s eyes so frightening?” Lisa, her eyebrows furrowing under her diamond-studded sunglasses, wondered with surprise.

But before she could figure out the situation, White Mitchell coldly addressed her: “Since your Capital City Jones family insists on interfering with this matter,

Fine, I’ll grant you this opportunity, but you’d better be able to bear the consequences when the time comes!”

Having said that, White Mitchell turned to address the rest of the Jones family: “My patience is limited. Now, enjoy the gift I’ve prepared for you.”

With that, White Mitchell turned around to leave the Jones family with Sherry.

But just then, Wu Lao, who had been sitting next to Lisa, hardened his gaze: “Insolently disrespect my young mistress and think you can just walk away?”

At his words, White Mitchell paused and responded without turning his head: “In front of my wife, I don’t want to kill. But for your disrespect to her just now, you deserve to die a thousand, ten thousand times!”

“Impudent!”

A low roar rumbled out of Wu Lao, his anger boiling over, his internal energy involuntarily roiled up.

But at this moment, Lisa, who had been sitting in the main seat and had not responded to White Mitchell, finally spoke softly: “Wu Lao, enough, there’s no need to cause trouble on Nezzi Command Headquarters turf.”

Wu Lao snorted coldly at her words, then glared at White Mitchell: “You’re lucky this time!”

“You should be grateful you didn’t invite your own death.” Without turning back, White Mitchell responded, his aura gradually withdrawing. He then promptly left the Jones family with Sherry.

…

Upon returning home and seeing Sherry appearing as if she’d lost her soul, White Mitchell felt even worse.

After instructing Mori Jones and Wen Zhihui to take care of Sherry, White Mitchell wasted no time in heading to the house next door where Kylin and Beckett were staying.

“Superior, what happened?”

The moment White Mitchell entered, Kylin and Beckett could tell something was off.

White Mitchell didn’t explain much, going straight to the point: “Issue the order: with immediate effect, terminate all funding for the Nezzi New Town project!”

Halt all funding for Nezzi New Town?

Upon hearing this news, Kylin and Beckett were stunned momentarily. But Kylin quickly came round.

To him, White Mitchell’s command was absolute!

If he were commanded to face a mountain of blades or a sea of flames, he would do so without hesitation.

Consequently, Kylin immediately turned to Beckett, dialed David Herb, and told them to withdraw all the funds from the Nezzi New Town project at the quickest possible speed.

Within less than half an hour, the Nezzi New Town project, which had previously caused a huge stir in Sayon, was reduced to a theoretically-existing project.

The current Nezzi New Town would need to overcome a funding problem of up to a hundred billion before anyone could take it over.

After setting this up, White Mitchell turned to Kylin again: “Tell Jayden not to leave Sayon yet. The Weiden Family’s mess isn’t cleaned up.

Let him figure out a way to prove to Sherry that the Weiden family has nothing to do with the Capital City Jones family.

I’m giving him only three days. If I don’t see any results within that time, I’ll personally go to the Martial Department and teach those Martial Arts Soldiers a lesson in manners!”

Upon hearing this, Kylin immediately dialed Jayden’s number.

Jayden, who was about to board his helicopter to return to the Capital City, upon finishing the call from Kylin, furiously slammed the helicopter: “Fuck! Where did this Capital City Jones family spring from? Are they tired of living!?”
