"Hahaha… Wait. Let me send you a photo."
Conrad put the call on speaker before sending Zac a photo of Matthew in his current state. He cackled and said, "Look at him now. Nothing gives me greater satisfaction."
A few seconds later, Zac received the photo.
After clicking into it, he couldn't help but frown. "Tsk tsk… He looks so pitiful. I wouldn't have believed that this is Matthew Kings if it hadn't been for the other half of his face."
"I know, right?"
"Leave him be for now. It might come in handy in the future." Zac stroked his jaw. "Seems like Troy Ritter is a pretty ruthless fellow. There's no telling what he might do, so make sure to keep him well-protected. It'd be a great loss to lose such an able man."
"He didn't even manage to kill Matthew even though he was that close. Are you sure he can be trusted?"
Conrad was overwhelmingly cautious whenever it came to people that were related to Matthew.
That included Troy.
"It just proves that Matthew's a hard man to kill. My men saw with their own eyes how the three shots were fired right at Matthew's heart, and yet, he still survived."
Zac shook his head and commented, "Still, even though he's not dead, he's still useless now and not someone we need to be afraid of anymore. Alas, with one less rival around, it feels like things would be a little boring from now on. Hahahaha…"
"You have a point."
Conrad chuckled along with Zac.
Matthew's presence used to be Conrad's greatest threat. He even went through all that effort to locate his child just for the sake of taking over Spinfluence Group.
However, in the three months since Matthew's disappearance, even though he didn't have his child as a bargaining chip, he was still able to take over Spinfluence Group with great ease.
