“Lord Quan, what can I do for you?” Finn King asked respectfully.
With a “swoosh” sound, Norton James threw a folder sitting on the desk directly in front of Finn King, and said fiercely, “I don’t care how you do it, just spread these news on the internet right now. I want these two completely ruined. Can you do it?”
Finn King didn’t immediately respond but took a few steps forward, picked up the folder, and began to flip through it. As soon as he saw the information about a person in the folder, his eyes widened in shock. After a long while, he managed to ask in a shaky voice, “Lord Quan… Are you sure you want to do this? This is not someone we can mess with so easily!”
Finn King had done many things for Norton James before, but he never expected that one day he would confront such a person. Of course, he knew who the man in the folder was, even if he didn’t, it was written inside. Damn it, that’s the world’s richest man! Jesus! Although Finn King wasn’t a rich man himself, having done so much for Norton James, he had learned a great deal about wealth.
Whether at home or abroad, when your wealth reaches a certain level, you naturally wield terrifying influence. The level of influence varies with the size of your wealth — but just how much influence does the world’s richest man have? Just think back to when people like Bill Gates came to Flame Nation, and you could guess. Even if they were just meeting the middle-aged man, if they dropped your name casually during the meeting, it would be too much for anyone to handle.
Seeing James wants to mess with such a person, Finn King utterly cannot understand where Norton James drew his confidence from.
“Are you courting death?!” Finn King’s remark was like adding fuel to a fire, and Norton James instantly stood up from his chair, with rage all over his face. He directly grabbed the keyboard on the desk and threw it at Finn King.
Finn King could have dodged, but he chose not to. He knew if he did that, the next object hurling towards him might be the monitor. So he just protected his head with his hands, allowing the keyboard to hit his arms. It hurt, but he could bear it.
“Lord Quan, please calm down,” Finn King said loudly, blocking the keyboard. He had been working for Norton James for some time.
However, Finn King’s words had no effect, and Norton James, enraged as if he had lost his mind, started throwing stacks of papers from the desk at him. Luckily, it was only paper, and although it smacked him in the face, it did not hurt, and Finn King did not try to evade. He just protected his head with his hands while Norton James was venting his fury. But he couldn’t help but grumble inwardly, wondering what humiliation Norton James had suffered this time. Just by his reaction, it was clear he had been deeply provoked.
Having thrown everything on the desk, Norton James finally vented out his anger. Seeing no movement from him, Finn King carefully lifted his arms and observed Norton James’ demeanor before saying: “Lord Quan, I didn’t say I won’t confront him, I just said that we shouldn’t take rash actions without understanding the opponent. Someone like Finn Lewis certainly has significant backing. I think we either don’t make a move, or if we do, we need to be sure it’s a death blow.”
Despite his words, Finn King lacked any confidence. It was a joke, trying to bring down a man who climbed to the rank of the world’s richest in less than a year.
“Can you deliver a death blow? Do you think you can?” Norton James is not an idiot, after all. He looked up at Finn King and laughed coldly.
Finn King choked for a moment and didn’t dare to say anything at a whim. Though he didn’t know what had upset Norton, he could tell that Norton’s mood was off, “I’m telling you, do as I say now. He may be the world’s richest man, so what? Isn’t it just that he has some money? Maybe I’m no match for him in countries like the North Federation, but in Flame Nation, being wealthy isn’t all that matters.” Speaking of this, Norton James let out a cold chuckle. But there was another reason he wouldn’t disclose to Finn King; he could no longer endure this situation!
“Get on the internet now and publicize this. Even if we can’t affect him, I won’t let him have it easy… You don’t need to worry about the rest; I’ll handle it.” Norton James gave his order, and Finn King bowed his head. This time he didn’t refute, fearing that if he dared, he might not live to see another day.
Leaving the building, he got into his car, opened the folder in his hands, and scoffed, deeply resentful towards Norton James. This absolute fool! An idiot! Doesn’t he consider the consequences before taking actions? Doesn’t he consider the kind of person he’s up against? Finn King didn’t believe that a man like Finn Lewis had no power at all. Just referring to his vast amount of wealth, as long as he made it known that he was investing in a province, even the leaders of that province would personally meet him and firmly stand by his side.
Yes, the Johnson Clan is indeed powerful, but let’s be blunt, that’s merely past glory! However, Finn King didn’t dare to disagree with Norton James’ words. He sighed, glancing at the document in his hands. Fortunately, the second-generation rich foolery hadn’t reached the point of directly attacking his opponent.
Naturally, Finn King had a group of people who were experts in these matters, and he had done many similar jobs before. That night, he immediately arranged for his people to disclose the incriminating news.
By evening, the news was everywhere on the internet, and Finn Lewis was informed by Olivia Thatcher as soon as it broke out.
“[Formerly Innocent Girl Now Kept by Sugar Daddy]”
“[Exposing the Whole Process of Kay Lee Being Kept by the New World’s Richest Man]”
Posts like these, under the manipulations of many trolls, rapidly covered the entire internet. Many online media outlets directly reposted the news. Even though Finn Lewis was lightly touched upon in these posts, the one being smeared was Kay Lee. They described how Kay Lee was gold-digging and how she climbed onto Finn Lewis’s bed, among other slanders.
