Dip replied, “Managing the business is not an urgent matter. Did I see someone bullying you earlier?”
The mere mention of what had happened earlier turned Bradley into a shade of red. Burning with rage, he said, “That foreign b*tch ignored me and had her boyfriend beat me up. I will surely get back at her for it.”
Dip nodded. “Good. Men should behave that way. We must repay all the kindness extended to us, but we must also get others back for all the evil done to us. Only then will we be successful. I will help you in any way I can. Money, fighters... I have all the resources in the world, and I can provide you with anything you need.”
Bradley was already thinking about how he would exact his revenge on Sofie and Nathan. Hence, he was ecstatic to know that his uncle would send resources his way.
His eyes bulged as a look of appreciation crept up on his face. “Uncle Dip, you are so kind to me.”
Dip smiled as he said, “I have always had faith in the people I hire, and I will support you so long as you work for me. Besides, this will be an excellent test. If you successfully exact your revenge, I will make things official and let you take over all the domestic businesses I own. On the other hand, if you cannot exact your revenge, then it is likely that you won't be able to handle the challenges of running a business. That, in turn, will lose you your chance to manage my assets.”
Hearing that prompted Bradley to quickly reassure Dip, “Don’t worry, Uncle Dip. Since you are giving me the resources I need to exact my revenge, there is no way I can't handle a foreign chick and her friend."
Dip smiled. “Then I'll be watching closely. I'm sure you know that my current circumstances are unique, but I'd like to remind you about something. My only intention for coming home is to find someone to manage my business. I don't want to make a spectacle, so do not tell anyone that I am back.”
Bradley promised, “Don’t worry, Uncle Dip. I will never say anything to anyone.”
Dip nodded approvingly. “Good. This is the name card of one of my best subordinates, Velimir. He can get you whatever you need, be it money or fighters. Just say the word.”
With a look of delight, Bradley accepted the card. He sounded excited when he replied, “Understood, Uncle Dip.”
Dip added expectantly, “I have high hopes for you. Don’t let me down.”
After saying that, Dip rolled up the window and ordered the chauffeur to drive away.
The black car disappeared from Bradley's line of sight soon after.
