Female Novel
Chapter 165
Calum's voices were soft, but they cut through the silence, reaching every ear in the room.
A collective gasp rippled through the crowd. Was that guy for real? Spouting such lies without acare. Did he think he was in some action movie? Talking big about military squads?
The receptionists, who had already ducked out of sight, could not help but sneer at Liam. The onewho had just dealt with him was visibly annoyed. "Seriously? He's lost it! Thinks he's putting onquite the show, huh? Believing he's somebody important?"
"Exactly! Nothing but a poser, a total nobody. He nearly got Willa fired!"
"I've got to get this on video, put it up online! This kind of pathetic act is just laughable. I'll showeveryone what happens when you try to play the hero!"
The scene unfolding was not just drawing the attention of those nearby. It had become a spectaclefor a bunch of other employees, who gathered around, buzzing with gossip about Liam's impendingdoom.
Among the onlookers were two familiar faces, Wasyl and Cheryl, who had just stepped out of thehotel.
"Cheryl, look over there. Isn't that Liam, the down-and-out guy? What's he doing here?" Wasylpointed toward Liam, a mix of curiosity and disbelief in his voice.
Cheryl glanced where Wasyl was pointing, and sure enough, there was Liam, seething with anger."Who cares about that loser? He had the nerve to mess with someone from the Jerden Group andgot what he deserved! Guys like him need to be put in their place, thinking they're all that after a fewyears in the army, totally clueless about the real world! Come on, we've got a meeting with Mr. Lanesoon. Business is what matters!"
Wasyl just smirked and did not bother with another look, striding into the elevator with the assistant.
Meanwhile, Yale could not hide his contempt as he watched Liam and Calum. He put on a show ofbeing terrified and laughed out loud, "Holy crap! Did you hear that? He actually said the armoredand engineer corps are coming to knock down Jerden Group! I'm shaking in my boots, can't youtell? Hahahaha..."
Those two were a complete joke!
The security captain sneered at Liam. He had dealt with his fair share of troublemakers at JerdenGroup, but Liam's brazen attitude was a first. He seemed to think he could still play the tough guy. Itwas high time to show him that the security team was not to be trifled with.
"Kid, you're digging your own grave!"novelbin
With a furious shout, the security captain signaled. The guards, who had been standing by, swungtheir batons and rushed at Liam and Calum once more.
However, then!
The roar of an engine and the sound of marching boots suddenly filled the air. Someone in thecrowd near the door yelled, "Everyone, look outside!"
"Holy crap! Is that... an armored vehicle? And that group is leading the way..."
"Armored vehicles, eight of them, no less!" The onlookers, who had been casually watching,suddenly buzzed with excitement. Their eyes, drawn through the expansive glass walls of the hall,locked onto the street where a line of formidable armored vehicles rolled toward them in perfectformation.
At the forefront marched a platoon of soldiers, decked out in full battle outfits, moving as one towardthem.
In just a short span, the convoy of armored vehicles and their accompanying soldiers had reachedthe Jerden Group's entrance, standing in crisp formation, awaiting their orders.
