Eric Waters
[Chapter 139]
"Mr. Smith, you can't be saying that! Harvey is your friend and he's also the shareholder of your company. Now that you've made a comeback, who knows if you're working together to play me like a fool?" Eric said.
Eric knew Harvey was the one who stole the company's money, so it was not fake.
However, he had to find a scapegoat!
If not, what about his money?
Coincidentally, Ken's company made a comeback all of a sudden, so he shifted his attention to Ken.
"Eric, stop making a fuss here. Harvey took the company's money and I've already called the police. The police are already investigating this, and you can go ask them to check if we're lying to you."
"I don't care. I only care about my money! If you don't want to pay me my money, I'll go to your office every day. I want to see if which one of us has the time to spare."
After Eric said that, he scanned through everyone in the crowd.
When he spotted Tara, his small eyes could not leave her anymore.
She was so beautiful and hot. Even though she was sitting, he could still tell that she was definitely taller than 170cm.
He had played with a lot of women in the recent years but none of them could compare to Tara. None of them amounted to even a third of her.
His biggest interest in life was women, all kinds of women.
When he saw Tara, he decided that he had to get this woman.
"Eric, don't go overboard."
Eric did not pay attention to Ken anymore. Instead, he walked away from Ken and went next to Tara.
"Miss, may I know your name? I am Eric Waters and I want to be your friend."
Tara did not say anything. However, it was clear that she was nervous.
A lot of them in the room did not dare to say anything even though they were fuming. Eric was a famous local tyrant in Goat City, and everyone would end up in bad shape if they offended him.
Even Ken was helpless against him, let alone the others.
Slam!
Ken slammed his hand on the table and stood up. He pointed at Eric and roared, "Eric, don't go overboard. If you dare to touch my family, I'll die with you!"
Ken was fuming. How would he not know Eric's character?
Eric wanted to put his hands on his daughter!
Ken would never tolerate this.
If he could not even protect his family, why should he continue to be a man?
Plus, his future son-in-law David was watching.
However, he never thought about asking David for help.
Even though David was from a wealthy family, this was also beyond his power.
This was not his family's territory, so they did not have power here. If he acted, this would be a breach of the rules.
Eric ignored Ken's threats and narrowed his eyes to smile at Tara. Then, he said, "Oh? Family? So, she's your daughter then? Mr. Smith, I didn't think that you'd have such a beautiful daughter. Why didn't you tell me earlier? If you told me, we wouldn't have had to come to this stage."
He was not the slightest bit concerned about Ken's threats.
'Die with me?
'Ken Smith, you are not even worthy to die with me.
'You're just a small boss with a bit of net worth. There are a lot of people like you in Goat City.'
However, how many Eric Waters were there in Goat City?
Even if Eric did not have the right to rule over the Goat City underground world, he was at least in the top five. He was not even bothered about people like Ken.
He had a lot of ways to make the other party obey him, unless they did not want to stay in Goat City anymore and they moved their entire family away.
Ken took two deep breaths and said, "Eric, I'll pay the amount you want. Please leave now."
However, Eric was not budging. He chuckled and said, "Mr. Smith, I don't want money anymore. If you give me your daughter, I promise your company will prosper and thrive in Goat City. What say you?"
"You…" Ken was so mad he could not speak.
"If you keep doing this, we'll call the cops!" Tara's mother Laura said.
After she said that, she took out her phone to call the police.
"If you dare to call the police, I'll promise that I'll destroy your company's future in Goat City. Plus, not only that, your house will also be affected. I believe that you don't want to wake up everyday to piles of sht in front of your house, right? Or get splashed by sht when you're walking on the road?" Eric said in an ominous tone.
Now, Laura was shocked.
Her hand that was making the call also stopped abruptly.
She was scared that her decision would affect her husband's future.
Everyone around them were also terrified because Eric had done a lot of similar things like this.
were
Eric was smart. He would not directly do anything to hurt you, but he used all kinds of lowly methods to get a foothold in Goat City.
"That's right," Eric smiled and said.
"Eric, tell me. How much do you want?" Ken slumped down on his chair and asked.
Eric was threatening him with his family, and this was what he feared the most. His family was his weakness, and from what Eric said just now, he was dead serious because this was basically his job.
He could not call the police too because they did not hurt anyone. They would be detained for some time at most. Eric had a lot of people working for him, so if his people came to Ken one after another, it would be unbearable.
Eric came during such a great time. Otherwise, even if Eric put a knife to his neck, he would not bat an eyelid as he would instead call Eric's bluff.
However, he had no choice right now. He could only admit defeat for the sake of his family. He only hoped that Eric would not ask for too much.
"Mr. Smith, I told you I don't want money. Give your daughter to me and I'll be your son-in-law. What do you think? I promise you will thrive as you can just tell me if you have any rival companies, and I can help you destroy them."
"No way! Don't even think about it! It's impossible!" Ken started roaring.
"Oh? Impossible? Mr. Smith, I hope you can still say such harsh words in three days time."
Then, Eric reached out his hand to touch Tara's cheek.
"Miss Smith, just wait two days for me. I believe your father will change his mind."
When he was about to touch Tara's face, a strong hand grabbed his wrist, stopping him from going forward.
