King's Back

Chapter 43 Debt Dispute

Jackson picked up two more stones from the ground and threw them inside.

“Ah, ouch!”

Two screams were heard immediately as to boys got hit.

Sara was secretly in awe. Even with a distance of 20 meters from them, this dude was actually still able to hit with precision. And it even looked like he threw them without much care.

The fellas were in pain for a while, beaten and pushed into the water, swallowing some of it. They cursed with anger as they were clearly being treated as punching bangs. Whoever showed their face would get stoned.

“If you dare to swim to shore again, I’ll split open your heads.”

Resentfully, they could only swim in the opposite direction.

If they tried to get to the shore, Jackson would offer them a stone, and his stones were as precise as a GPS, always finding the right target.

Some of them were completely exhausted, flopping about in the water for many minutes.

Swimming was a very strenuous sport. It didn’t take long for some to be completely done for.

“Boss…I…I…can’t anymore… I’m sinking…pull me out.”

“Shit, don’t fucking hold on to me, I also don’t have any strength left.”

Several people stared at the shore in unison with a pleading look.

Jack smiled proudly and said, “If any among you is willing to run all the way to the police department, you can come ashore.”

“Really??”

They immediately agreed without hesitation as they really had no strength left in the water, risking drowning if they continued staying there.

It was always better to be embarrassed than to drown to death, anyway. As the saying goes, where there is life, there is hope.

They swam ashore like dying dogs. Collapsed on the ground, they panted and gasped for breath.

“Now hurry up, run to the police department and surrender yourselves, otherwise I’ll kick you all back to the river.”

With no other choice but to bite the bullet, they stood up and started running naked towards the police department, truly a grand scene to behold.

Sara couldn’t help but shake her head and laugh: “You’re a real piece of work.”

“Some things can’t be handled by conventional means, only by special means. That’s a piece of advice I’m giving you, Captain Elliot.

Sara Elliot was somewhat taken aback… his words seemed to imply something more. Could he be talking about the murderer?

“Shit, it’s already this late, I won’t make it in time.”

Jackson looked at the time, it was about time for work and he hasn’t even gone to buy breakfast yet. His wife would definitely get mad at him again.

“I’m in a hurry, gotta go. We shall meet again.” Jackson waved goodbye and went straight to the car, stepping on the gas pedal to rush home.

As he arrived home, Dolcie was already sitting on the table, looking around like a cat waiting to be fed.

“Jackson, it’s early morning. What have you been doing, still know how to come back?”

Dolcie was obviously somewhat upset as she saw Jackson return. He was nowhere to be found this early in the morning, and she had a pile of work waiting for her at the company.

If he were not to come back, she would just go to work by herself.

“Sorry, sorry, I met some little thieves on the road and dealt with them. Got some breakfast.”

“Y City is so secure, how did you even find thieves in the morning? And besides, you have no money with you, what did they even steal?”

“Whatever, I won’t eat. Have to rush to the company, I’m running late.”

Dolcie looked at the time, got up, and walked to the garage.

Jackson scratched the back of his head and quickly followed her.

……

On the way neither of them said a word. As they arrived at the company, Dolcie went straight to the president’s office, while Jackson clocked in for work in the sales department.

As soon as he walked into the sales department, he finds Harry Cox playing videogames. His skills were pretty good, but his teammates were all rookies, making Harry curse in frustration.

“Master, you’re here. Come show this bunch of newbies what it means to be a lone fighter.”

As soon as Harry noticed Jackson arriving, he immediately got his ass up and gave his seat to him.

Since Jackson had accepted him as his disciple, he had the obligation to teach him in every aspect.

Jackson sat down in front of the computer straight away in a serious manner. With the mouse in hand, he began to stage a single-person massacre.

Sniping, freeze point, push and run, tricks that only pros know, Jackson learned all by himself. In short time, almost the entire enemy team quit cursing, also reporting him for cheating.

“Shit, I’m speechless. Just because he plays well you report him for cheating, what the hell?” Harry says in outrage for his master.

Right at that moment sales manager Arlo Ward came over with a gloomy face and said, “We got a task to head over to ZD Company and collect a debt. Which one among you will go?”

As soon as those words were said, the before somewhat noisy sales department became quiet. Even those who called to contact customers shut their mouths.

Harry even shrank his neck, afraid that his name would be called upon by Arlo.

Jackson

Jackson quitted the game, drank a sip of tea, and then calmly said, “ZD Company? I heard that company was quite sought after. If you go to collect a debt, maybe they’ll give you some kickbacks. How come nobody wants to go?”

Harry quickly whispered to his ear:

“Master you don’t know? The boss of ZD Company is a gang leader. He owes us for more over half a year. Little He went there to collect before, and until now he’s still lying in the hospital as a result.”

“He was beaten?”

“That’s right, they broke his leg.” Said Harry, traumatized.

“That’s why we don’t want to go collect the debt, we’re afraid of getting hurt!”

Seeing the lack of reaction from everyone, Arlo smiled bizarrely and pushed the files to onto Harry.

“Mr. Cox, lately you seem like you have a lot of free time in the company. If you have nothing to do then you go.”

Harry was beyond scared. His biggest fear came true.

“Hmm… about that…manger, I just contacted a business, I’m afraid I don’t have the time.”

“Cut the crap. If I tell you to go then go. And if you don’t bring the money, don’t bother coming back!”

Harry’s mouth twitched, wanting to tear the papers into shreds with hate.

“For fuck sake, what’s up with this fool? Didn’t the higher ups already say that they didn’t want the sum, who would fucking send people there then!” Harry kept muttering as he cursed. © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Arlo stopped walking and turned back, “I’m the one who brought it up. Why, do you have a problem with that?

“No…no problem.” Harry forced a smile uglier than when sobbing.

Jackson grabbed the papers to take a look at them, then darted a look at Arlo. There was no need to think a lot about it, Arlo saw Harry getting close to him, so he chose Harry on purpose to give him some trouble.

“Come on, your master here will go collect the debt with you.” Jackson smiled as he stood up.

Harry’s eyes immediately started to glow, looking at Jackson with complete adoration. In that moment, Harry was almost moved to tears.

“Master, you truly are my parent born again. Your love for me is like a forever-flowing, torrential river, is like…”

“Enough, stop trying to flatter me. Haven’t you noticed you’re kissing the wrong ass? If you’d kiss manager Ward’s ass instead, you wouldn’t be in this situation in the first place.

Jackson walked up to Arlo Ward stopping on purpose to say: “Isn’t that so, manager Ward?”

Arlo froze for a second, then spoke with an ugly face; “Jackson, don’t push it!”

Jackson just shrugged his shoulders and left with Harry.

As soon as they left, all in the office started to comment.

“Tsk tsk, this is going to be a good show."

“ZD Company is a tough nut to crack, are those two looking for death over there?”
