Chapter 197 Threat
Scarlett spent two days lying in Murgard's office to familiarize herself with the environment.
This office is not only large, but also fully equipped with all the necessities for daily life.
The floor-to-ceiling windows are made of bulletproof glass, and the doors are bank-grade fireproof, burglarproof, and explosion-proof, ensuring an extremely high level of security.
Inside the office, there are seven or eight hidden rooms where one can hide, and two escape routes.
As long as the building doesn't collapse, you can hide here forever and no one will ever find you.
Scarlett was very satisfied and praised Murgard a couple of times.
Mergard stood in front of the desk, smiling apologetically, "I'm flattered, I'm glad you like it."
Scarlett opened the drawer, took out a wad of cash, and threw it in front of Murgard. "Here's a reward for you."
Murgard looked at his drawer, at his money, his face twitched, and he accepted it with tears in his eyes: "Thank you, Boss."
Scarlett raised an eyebrow, took a bite of the mango Brian offered her, peeled it, and cut it into appropriately sized pieces.
After swallowing the mango, Scarlett turned to look at Ashley again, who picked up a glass of chilled fresh juice and put it in her mouth through a straw.
Scarlett took a sip, then squinted her eyes contentedly, like a cat, with a touch of elegant languor.
Tyron massaged her shoulders.
Riley presented the financial statements, reporting on the profits and losses of the Jiajia Theater.
After operating for half a month, Jiajia Theater earned approximately 20,000 Star Coins per day after deducting expenses.
However, the fire destroyed the theater, causing a direct loss of 500,000 Star Coins, a huge financial blow.
Scarlett frowned upon hearing this, raised her chin at Murgard, and said succinctly, "Pay up."
Murgard stared at Scarlett for two seconds with a stern, old face.
Scarlett raised her hand, revealing the remote control without any hesitation.
Upon seeing this, Murgard deflated like a punctured balloon and immediately said, "I'll pay."
After reviewing the accounts of the Jiajia Theater, Scarlett instructed Riley to look at the accounts of Renton Street.
Hear the words.
A chill ran through Murgard's heart. "No need."
Scarlett picked up the remote control.
Resigned, Murgard opened the safe, took out the ledger, and handed it to Riley with reluctance, holding on for a long time.
Scarlett's fingers touched the buttons on the remote control.
Murgard felt a stomachache and reluctantly let go.
Riley is looking at the ledgers.
There was a sudden knock on the office door.
Holst, dressed in a suit and tie, walked in.
His cool face paired with a sharp suit made him incredibly handsome.
Scarlett rested her elbow on the table, propped her chin on her hand, blinked her eyes, and asked playfully, "What's wrong?"
Holster glanced at her, couldn't help but smile, his eyes full of doting laughter, and his voice softened a bit, "Someone is looking for Murgard."
"Who?"
"The owner of the Flü Manor".
The group immediately packed their things and hid in the secret room.
Before leaving.
Scarlett pressed a button on the remote control and threatened, "Don't say anything out of line, or I'll kill you."
Scarlett used the word "宰" (zai), which reminded Murgard of his dog god. His heart skipped a beat, and his face turned pale. "Don't worry, I won't say anything."
……
……
in the office.
Mergard sat back in his boss's chair, calmly straightened the wrinkles in his clothes, straightened his back, and resumed his boss-like demeanor.
The owner of the Fraser Manor was named Severi. He had delicate features, a dark complexion, and slanted eyebrows that gave him a sharp look. When he was not speaking, he had an air of cold indifference that commanded respect.
now.
Sivili sat opposite Mergard, picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and asked, "Isabelle is doing well here with you?"
Zheko and Chiye stood to the left and right of Mogard, respectively.
They were both dressed in the same suits and wore the same headphones.
With his arms crossed, he exuded a powerful aura, seemingly facing Shivili, but in reality, he was intimidating Mergard.
Warn him not to talk nonsense.
Mercard had no idea whether Isabel was any good or bad. Feeling guilty, he had been living in his office and didn't trust anyone. Isabel had only been brought out under Scarlett's threat, and he had never actually met her.
Since Shivri had asked, he was obliged to answer. He smiled and said, "Everything is fine. Harrison is very fond of Miss Isabel, and everything he provides for her is done according to her wishes, which she also enjoys. Please rest assured, Master."
Severi hummed in agreement and put down his teacup. "If Isabel is happy, then this marriage is settled. In that case, we should talk about the conditions we agreed on back then."
Murgard was taken aback.
What were the conditions agreed upon back then?
Oh.
The entire Langton Street is owned in half by Hilly.
Impossible. Absolutely impossible.
This is his lifeline!
Murgard picked up his teacup and took a sip. Taking advantage of the rising steam, he glanced guiltily at Severi. The other man had a cold expression and indifferent eyes. He calmly took out a few documents and placed them on the table, looking at Murgard casually with a smile on his lips.
They adopted an air of certainty of victory.
The aura was so powerful that Mergard dared not look directly at him.
Murgard is not a hard-working person.
He took unconventional paths in his youth, and now he lives a muddled and aimless life.
If I hadn't met the Dog God in this life, I would be a rag on the roadside now, thrown into the garbage dump eight hundred years ago. How could I have made a name for myself in the world of fame and fortune where females abound?
So, when he saw the look in Sivir's eyes.
That arrogant gaze that seemed to be looking down on him triggered his rebellious streak, and he said coldly, "Master, Harrison hasn't married Isabel yet. Isn't it a bit too early to talk about these things now?"
Scarlett, inside the secret room, heard these words.
Bright eyes.
This Murgard knows how to court death.
It was worth it for her to have Murgard persuade the manor lord to agree to the marriage with the promise of benefits.
Two people who are obsessed with profit will definitely turn against each other for the sake of profit once their interests are brought into the open, and then their true colors will be revealed.
The parrot was killed, but the manor owner didn't react at all, unlike Murgard, who immediately came to seek revenge after losing his support.
It is obvious that there is a certain relationship between the manor owner and the parrot, but it is not the case that the manor owner is dependent on the parrot.
This is a good opportunity to test whether the manor owner is a wanted criminal.
She pressed her ear against the door and continued listening.
Brian and Ashley followed her example, pressing their ears against the door.
The three heads were huddled together, listening intently.
Riley sat to the side, continuing to look at the ledgers.
My fingertips glided across the yellowed pages of the book.
He skimmed through the revenue data of the various stores on Langton Street over the past few years.
Tyron didn't know what to do.
He glanced left and right and then pressed his head closer.
……
……
in the office.
The conversation continued.
Hearing Murgard's sarcastic remark, Shiverri raised his thick, dark eyebrows, his pale eyes sweeping across Murgard's face, revealing an extremely faint smile. "Murgard, do you know what the consequences are for going back on your word in business?"
Integrity.
It is the most basic requirement in business.
When Shiverri said this, he wasn't referring to Murgard, but rather making a direct threat.
Honesty is certainly important.
But that was the lower-ranking person addressing the higher-ranking person.
Those in high positions can break their promises to those in low positions and manipulate them at will.
But this doesn't apply to those in lower positions.
They must bow down to those in high positions and show them their most sincere respect.
Severi is the owner of Flürer Estate.
The manor has trained several elite units, so killing someone is no problem for them.
It is a blessing for Mergard that she can now talk to him so amicably.
Mergard remained silent.
No words were spoken.
When he was building his empire, he also ordered the training of an assassination squad.
However, due to Dog God's domineering nature, he did not allow Dog God to have his own power, and the Dark Team was disbanded not long afterward.
If the assassination squad were still around.
He is definitely not afraid.
Assassinate Scarlett and Siviry!
Mergard was so angry that he was breathing through his nose.
One by one, they've come to threaten him! They really don't treat him like a human being!
He frowned, and it looked like he was about to say something rude.
There was another knock on the office door.
Holster pushed open the door and said, "Boss, Michelle has come to deliver this month's financial statements to you."
