“Forget it, let’s just do our job,” the bodyguard on the right considered, and replied with several hand gestures, “If we tell them, we may offend them. Anyway, we’ve fulfilled our duties according to the contract.”
The other two paused for a bit, then nodded their agreement. The four bodyguards communicated entirely through hand signals, unbeknownst to Elias and Emery who were walking up front, fuming.
The reason these bodyguards acted this way was because, while Elias and Emery might not see anything special about them, the circle of international private bodyguards isn’t that big actually. They are part of it, but they are not the top tier, they can barely be said to be second tier.
However, even second-tier bodyguards can be discerning. Among these bodyguards, aside from a small portion who serve as personal bodyguards for a single individual, the rest all belong to security companies. Just like the bodyguards just now, who were all part of a company called Blackwater. No, this isn’t a movie character’s codename, but the actual name of the company. Even the lowest level bodyguards in this company are first-rate, many of whom can be said to be the elite in the industry.
Moreover, every person they protect is led by one of the top bodyguards in the field. Many of these people have battlefield experience and have seen and made bloodshed. But most importantly, Blackwater, despite its rough-sounding name, is actually a subsidiary of another company.
That company is the prestigious Blackwater Security Company of the North Federation. It’s needless to say more about this company. They’re basically a mercenary force. Aside from some military superpowers, Blackwater’s mercenary units are stronger than most national armies, even on par with their special forces!
Just know that Blackwater has thousands of mercenaries in certain regions, even up to ten thousand at most! Blackwater often directly helps the North Federation military execute tasks that its army can’t handle. After all, Blackwater, being a mercenary company, doesn’t have as many rules to adhere to.
Many rules rely on who pays them more. As long as the pay is good, they’ll accept any task. Therefore, Blackwater has a notorious reputation in the international mercenary market. But despite this, the power they wield is very real! Furthermore! In the North Federation, if a bodyguard from Blackwater Security Company is assigned, the person being protected is, without a doubt, one of the topmost elite.
Others, even if they have the money, cannot hire them. This isn’t just about money, but about status and position. Therefore, after the four bodyguards saw the distinctive tattoos on the other party, they understood that their employer had picked a fight with the wrong crowd. But even so, that’s their employer’s problem, they only need to fulfill their duties.
So, it’s understandable why the bodyguards made the decisions they did. Of course, Mason didn’t know that. The four bodyguards on the other side might not know who Finn Lewis is, but they probably guessed his influence.
Mason immediately called Yancy Lucas, the chairman of Owen Things.
After Mason finished relating the events, Yancy Lucas immediately said: “You did well. Now tell Nolan, we won’t skimp on his director fees. Also, we’ll have our legal team start preparing to terminate the endorsement contract with Elias and publicly declare that we will never sign any endorsement contracts with him again.”
Although Mason was prepared, Yancy Lucas’s words still shocked him. Compared to what he thought, Yancy Lucas’s decision was much more decisive. And isn’t this move too big?
“By the way, go to Nolan right now and make a copy of the video of the incident. Make absolutely no mistakes, understand? If necessary, we’ll publicly release these videos,” Yancy Lucas issued his instructions straightforwardly.
“Understood, I know what to do,” Mason responded quickly.
“Additionally, do as Kay Lee says, you get it?” Yancy Lucas rapidly added.
“Yes, I understand,” Mason wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Luckily, from the start, he had sided with Kay Lee and didn’t say anything. Otherwise, the situation would have been well-nigh unbearable. But he wondered, just how powerful was this Kay Lee? Or was it her boyfriend? Kay Lee’s boyfriend? Mason began to wildly speculate.
What Mason didn’t know was that Yancy Lucas didn’t actually know who Kay Lee’s boyfriend was. The reason he wanted to avoid offending Kay Lee was because of the Moon of West Lake. Yancy Lucas was familiar with the Moon of West Lake, having dined there more than once. He was astonished by the super-wealthy patrons of this private club!
Although the club isn’t very big and seems low-key, the number of millionaires inside is definitely eye-catching. It could be said to rope in the top tier of Flame Nation’s wealthy elite. These people hold a considerable amount of power… If you offend someone like Kay Lee, who holds a significant status in the Moon of West Lake club, guess the consequence?
You could say any product will find it extremely difficult to gain a foothold in the Flame Nation market… if it ever does. And currently, Owen Things’ priority is the Flame Nation market. This is how Owen Things has been able to repeatedly surpass Coca-Cola. Though these two arch-rivals often overtake each other, most of the time Owen Things falls behind.
However, had it not been for Owen Things initially grasping hold of the Flame Nation market, they would probably be even further behind now. Therefore, the importance of the Flame Nation market to Owen Things is immeasurable, and if they offend Kay Lee, it’s pretty much equivalent to bidding farewell to the Flame Nation market. As for why Yancy Lucas is so confident in Kay Lee’s status in the Moon of West Lake, it’s because he’s had their Cloud Mist Tea twice.
The effects of the Cloud Mist Tea astounded Yancy Lucas. Despite not being part of the North Federation, but being from Lith Kingdom, he grew up in Federation society. So, he is aware of the common problem among middle-aged Federation women – issues with figure, skin, etc. However, the effects of the Cloud Mist Tea could drive a woman crazy! But what’s more significant, what’s even more extraordinary, are the tangible changes this tea brings to women as they see themselves.
