Chapter 57: Draco Burning His Own Office!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Porta, Nine Dragons Property Co.!

Draco, looking at the IOU in front of him at a loss, sat in the office with a worried expression.

Bruce had given him two tasks, to settle the channel business of the Simmons family. This one wasn’t difficult. It was just a matter of his words.

What was difficult was the other one, which was the IOU in front of him.

Below him stood a group of senior executives of Nine Dragons Property Co., but their faces were full of fear and trepidation at this moment.

“It’s been an hour, and you still haven’t thought of a solution for me. What are you all doing?! ?” Draco’s expression darkened, and he scolded them while swearing.

The group of senior executives all looked aggrieved, but they didn’t dare to refute.

When Draco saw their expressions, he immediately became even angrier.

Bruce asked him to find a reason to clear the debt of the Taylor family, but what kind of reason was suitable? What kind of reason wouldn’t arouse suspicion?

Not only couldn’t he think of it, but even the current group of senior executives of the company were helpless.

Usually, they only cared about letting others pay back the money. If they had to think about how to let others take the initiative to pay back the money, then they had a hundred ways.

However, in order to get rid of a debt without anyone noticing, they couldn’t do it too obvIOUsly, and the reason had to be sufficient. This would put them in a difficult position.

“Usually, each and every one of you brag in front of me. Why is it that at the critical moment, none of you are useful? What a bunch of useless things!” Draco scolded fiercely.

Everyone looked at each other with a bitter look on their faces.

“Mr. Draco, why don’t we have a promotional event? We can say that she is our lucky customer. If she wins the raffle, she doesn’t have to pay back the money?” An executive of Nine Dragons Property Co. said carefully.

When Draco heard it, he almost smashed the ashtray on the table.

“Should... Should we say that it was stolen?” Someone suggested.

“Get lost! Who in Porta dares to steal my things? Would you believe me if I said so?!” This time, Draco couldn’t hold in his anger and directly picked up the ashtray to throw it over.

When the crowd saw the situation, they didn’t dare to speak anymore. To be honest, these so-called senior executives were mostly ignorant brats. It was already good enough that they could recognize all the accounts. How could he expect them to think of any solutions?

Draco had an annoyed look on his face as he fiercely touched his big bald head. In an instant, he felt a headache.

“Get out. Get out. All of you, get out. I get annoyed when I see you guys!” Draco scolded in a flustered manner.

When the crowd heard this, not only did they not feel dejected, but they also showed an expression that looked as if they had been granted amnesty. Each and every one of them escaped quickly.

When he saw this, Draco became even angrier. He picked up a cigar gloomily and lit it up.

However, the moment he picked up the lighter, an idea flashed through his mind. His eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately stared at the lighter in his hand.

“I’m really a genius!” Draco patted his head and muttered to himself. His face was still filled with a hint of elation.

Soon after, Draco quickly called the people back. He asked them to organize the important things in the office.

Very soon, Draco’s office was organized. Only some unimportant things and the Taylor family’s IOU were left.

“Mr. Draco, I... Do we really have to do this?” After hearing Draco’s plan, a senior executive broke out in cold sweat.

Setting fire to his own office!

Draco was probably the first person in Porta.

“Stop babbling nonsense! If I tell you to set fire to it, then do it quickly. Otherwise, the people will come later. If Mr. White blames you, I’ll throw you into the river to feed the fish!” Draco urged while swearing.

Gulp!

A few executives made a swallowing action and then tiptoed to set fire to Draco’s office.

Usually, setting a fire, splashing paint, and writing large graffiti were all common occurrences for them. However, this was their first time setting fire to their boss’s office.

Gasoline and the like were all readily available, so Draco’s office was quickly set on fire.

“Mr. Draco, it’s almost time. Isn’t it time to call the fire department?” Not long after, everyone was worried that the fire would spread out, so they couldn’t help but suggest.

However, Draco still looked calm and composed. He said leisurely, “There’s no rush. Let the fire burn for a while more.”

When the crowd heard that, they couldn’t say anything else. They could only wait with Draco.

Finally, Draco saw that the fire inside was about done burning, so he asked someone to call the fire department.

He still understood the principle of doing everything meticulously.

In a short while, the fire department came to the Nine Dragons Property Co. and put out the fire. Meanwhile, Draco brought his men and walked downstairs while pretending to be in a woeful state.

At this time, Brianne also appeared downstairs of the Nine Dragons Property Co..

Looking at the fire engines downstairs, Brianne was a little surprised.

Then, Brianne saw Draco and the others pretending to be in a woeful state downstairs.

She mustered up her courage and walked over while saying carefully, “You... Hello, my name is Brianne. I’m here to talk to Mr. Draco about something.”

Huh?

After hearing Brianne’s words, everyone revealed a strange expression, and immediately turned their gazes to Draco.

At this moment, Draco was in high spirits. When he saw Brianne, he looked ecstatic.

Draco hurriedly went over and said with a fawning expression, “Hello. I’m Draco, the boss of this company.”

“You... You’re Mr. Draco?”

When Brianne heard that, she suddenly became apprehensive. This was the famous Northern Paul. Rumor had it that he killed people without batting an eye and was a ruthless person.

“Miss Taylor is too polite. You can just call me Draco.” Draco said respectfully.

Upon hearing that, Brianne suddenly felt overwhelmed by his friendliness. Draco didn’t seem to be as fierce and intimidating as the rumors said. He was actually quite easy to get along with.

Seeing that Draco was so polite, Brianne also mustered up her courage and told him her purpose of coming.

She originally thought that Draco would reject her outright and then chase her out, but unexpectedly, after Draco heard it, there was no reaction at all. He still had a fawning look on his face.

His politeness made Brianne feel that something wasn’t right.

“Sigh... Miss Taylor, you really came at a bad time. My office just caught fire, and the IOUs are all inside. Look, they’re still putting out the fire.

The IOUs of the Taylor family were most likely burned, but it’s okay. This is our responsibility. It’s not your fault.

In this case, since the promissory notes have been burnt, you don’t have to pay back the Taylor family’s debt. Just consider it our bad luck,” said Draco, pretending to be distressed.

Burnt... burnt?

At this time, a few customers who were also here to return the money silently looked at the money in their hands and couldn’t help but walk over.

“Mr. Draco, then our money is also...”

Draco suddenly turned his head back and instantly put on a ferocious expression. “What do you want!? If you don’t return the money, I’ll burn your whole family!”

Eh... this..

Those customers who wanted to take advantage of the situation were instantly scared out of their wits. They obediently handed the money to Draco’s men and quickly left the scene.

historical

Brianne, who saw this scene, was stunned on the spot. What on Earth was going on?

At this moment, a few weary firemen came down. One of them even had an IOU with a corner of it burned.

He walked to the front of Draco and said, “The fire on it has already been put out. You must pay attention to your safety next time. Oh right, we also rescued an IOU, and the signature on it is Taylor...”

Draco shivered all over when he heard that, and he glared fiercely at the few executives who were in charge of setting the fire.

Why didn’t those idiots burn the Taylor family’s IOU before setting the fire?

D*mn them!
