Chapter 2182

As surprised as Sheldon was, he couldn't be bothered to question that at the moment.

For someone like him, taking out Linton Group was practically a walk in the park.

Besides, he was going to take Linton Group down even if Jared didn't ask him to.

“To tell you the truth, Linton Group and I have always been enemies,” Sheldon said.

“No, you weren't fighting them hard enough. I want you to go all out in taking them down,” Jared replied.

What?

“You want me and Linton Group to suffer heavy casualties?” Sheldon asked with a frown.

Jared shook his head. “No, I want you to take them down with you!”

Sheldon gasped in shock after hearing that.

Jared wants me and Linton Group to both go down?

“Mr. Jared, why do you want to destroy Linton Group?” he asked.

“I plan to acquire the company once it is on the verge of closing down. When that time comes, Intercontinental Group probably won't be any better either, so I'll acquire your company too,” Jared replied.

Sheldon's eyelid twitched out of anger.

Isn't this guy thinking a little too highly of himself here? He wants Linton Group and I to destroy each other so that he can swoop in and reap the benefits? There's no way I'd be stupid enough to agree to this!

He was going to refuse Jared's request at first, but quickly changed his mind when he saw the sinister smile on Jared's face.

Sheldon realized he had no other choice in this matter as Jared could very well kill him on the spot if he said no.

Fortunately for him, Jared added, “You have one day to think this through, so you don't have to give me an answer right away. If I don't hear from you after that, or if you say no, then... Heh... You know what will happen.”

He then waved at his men and said, “Come on, let's go.”

Just like that, the men left Sheldon's office while he sat there staring at the cigar on the floor.

What do I do? What options do I have? Am I really going to submit to the Mitxel family? Without Intercontinental Group, I'll be no different from an average Joe! Hmm... Screw it, I'll go to King for help. I wonder how things are with King right now. Honestly, I hate King so much that I wish I could kill him. I willingly served him as his slave and did so much for him, but he left me for dead in the fire! Well, I'm not sure if he had some kind of unspeakable reason for doing that...

With an uneasy feeling in his heart, Sheldon made his way to the top floor of the mansion to pay King a visit.

He cautiously knelt down in the room that was dark as always and called out to King, “Your Majesty.”

“You came to see me...” King's voice sounded really hoarse and weak.

Suddenly, his voice changed as he continued, “Save me, my son... Save me... I'm your father...”

Huh?

Sheldon looked up in confusion.

What the f*ck is going on here? Didn't King take over my father's body? My father is supposed to be in a zombie-like state without a consciousness of his own! Why has he regained his consciousness? Could it be that King is hurt and no longer has full control over my father? Well, he did sound really weak earlier, so maybe that's the case.

“Your Majesty, are you injured? What happened?” he asked.

It didn't take long before King resumed control over his father's body and replied, “Huh... Zeke pulled a dirty trick on me and managed to injure me severely.”

Sheldon nearly leapt to his feet in surprise when he heard that.

What? Zeke was the one who injured King? I didn't know he was capable of such a feat! Even if he used a dirty trick, it still shows how powerful he is! D*mn, I didn't know he was this powerful! Now I see

why King left me for dead... Had he not done that, we could both end up dead!

“So, why did you come see me?” King asked.

“Jared came to see me today. He asked me to take down Linton Group with a suicidal attack...” Sheldon replied.
