Chapter 2159
“Honey, go ahead and show them. I want to see you reveal your true power.” Chantelle’s voice turned sugary on purpose, and Andrew felt a headache coming on.
He could not help but wonder if she held some hidden grudge against her family, since she seemed to enjoy watching him put the Garcias in their place. Since that was the case, Andrew decided not to hold back.
He pulled out his phone and made a call. “Tell the Somaeth Chamber of Commerce the acquisition is canceled. Also, tell them I’m in Terror Town right now. Their member, Carlos Watt, is an idiot, so clean him out. I’m sick of looking at him.”
As soon as Andrew hung up, Carlos exploded with rage. “Get out! You hear me? Get the hell out now, or I’ll take you down myself! Damn it, I’m Carlos Watt, a well-known figure in Terror Town, and I’ve never met anyone as reckless as you!”
Carlos felt deeply insulted, more than he could stand.
Before Andrew showed up, he had been the favored son-in-law in the family, practically planning on inheriting Chantelle’s parents’ wealth one day. But now this guy returned with Chantelle and acted like he owned the place, and Carlos’ pride burned with fury.
Just then, his phone rang again, and the caller ID made him beam. “Mr. Carney, calling again? Is it because the funds have already been transferred?”
Carlos hurried to answer, his tone full of flattery.
On the other end, Elliot’s voice roared with fury. “Transferred? Are you stupid, Carlos? The buyer just canceled the deal and called you a damn fool. He said you disgust him just by existing. What the hell did you do to offend such a powerhouse?”
Carlos froze, his mind going blank. “M–Mr. Carney, what powerhouse? I don’t even know who this man really is!”
His voice cracked in panic.
Elliot’s tone turned icy. “Idiot! Tell me, do you currently have a man named Andrew Lloyd sitting there?”
Carlos stammered, “Y–Yes… Yes, Mr. Carney, he’s here. What about him?”
Elliot let out a cold laugh. “You’re doomed. He wanted to buy your company, but immediately canceled. And that’s not all. His sudden arrival in Terror Town has already alarmed the Chamber’s president. The president himself is on his way to welcome him right now!”
His voice dropped lower. “By the way, he’s also the newly crowned King of Gabo Creek. You’ve stirred up a storm you can’t survive. My advice? If you’re still breathing, go home and start digging your own grave.”
The line went dead with a sharp click.
Carlos sat frozen, his face drained of color, his heart pounding like thunder. Slowly, he lifted his head to stare at Andrew, but this time his eyes were filled with horror, as if he was facing a living god.
So the man was really a true powerhouse after all? Damn it!
He was done for.
