Chapter 182
Elio’s words left Hal dumbfounded. He thought he had Elio all figured out.
Cold and arrogant, that was his vibe.
But who would’ve thought he’d say something like that?
Still unconvinced, Hal tried again, “But me and her…”
“You and her?” Elio interjected with a smirk, “I wish I knew her sooner to keep her safe from a loon like you.”
“You…” Hal was shaking with rage, about to retort, when he got a message from his men, “Boss, our operations have been sabotaged. Many of our guys have been arrested and our smuggled goods have been seized at customs. We’ve suffered massive losses…”
He looked up at the man before him as another message came in.
One bad news after another, all was about his business going down.
His business empire, carefully built over the years, was crumbling in a heartbeat.
“This is just the beginning. If you dare to meddle in her career, I’ll expose all your dirty laundry and make sure you end up behind bars.” “I’m not doing it now only because I don’t take pleasure in picking on the weak.” After saying this, Elio walked out of the room.
Hal watched Elio’s retreating figure.
For the first time, he felt fear.
It took him a decade to build his business empire, remaining under the radar of international law enforcement, yet Elio managed to dismantle it so effortlessly.
