Chapter 248: A Visit, Arrogance

“Tell me exactly what happened?!” Even though Brian was not pleased by the fact that Hudson attempted to kidnap a staff of Sky Technologies, since it had already happened, there was no changing it.

Still, he was left puzzled. Was it really that difficult for the dark society to be able to kidnap someone within the Eastern province?

He could admit that Sky Technologies had to become the biggest giant in the eastern province, but that was just it. It had began spreading its influence worldwide, but it was not enough.

With just a few devices that they had launched, it was impossible for them to be able to influence the global market. So for the time being, they were supposed to be vulnerable.

“The two that I sent to complete the task, all of them ended up disappearing. I’m not even sure if they are still alive or they have already been killed.” Hudson explained with a frown on his face.

This was the issue that he found most puzzling. Previously, one of the trusted subordinates under Thomas was supposed to kidnap Melvin Walter, so that they could seize the opportunity to collaborate with Sky Technologies.

This was the plan that Hudson had come up with. He believed that as long as they could get into Sky Technologies, it would only be a matter of time before they took over the entire company.

Just like Brian, he could see the potential that sky technologies had. That was why he had decided to make the move, even before Brian gave the instruction.

Unexpectedly, Melvin was saved, and even that guy was killed. That was despite the strength that he had.

And 2 days ago, he sent two of his most trusted subordinates. Not only were they people that he could trust with his life, they were extremely skilled in combat as well.

And apart from them, they had quite a group of lackeys accompanying them. With such a combination, they were supposed to be able to easily deal with an employee of Sky Technologies.

Unexpectedly, ever since they left, they had lost contact until this moment. And, Hudson had never been contacted, in case he wanted to get them.

So, while he was not sure who it was that might have been involved with the disappearance of his subordinates, he believed that it was related to Michael. Until now, he had not yet managed to unveil Michael’s real background.

When he heard these, Brian was silent for a moment. At this point, he finally began understanding that this issue could not be simply solved by Hudson.

As expected, he needed to step in. He believed, since this guy was not related to the Santos family, then it would not be a problem to deal with him.

It might not be as simple as he had previously anticipated, but with some effort, it should be done.

“Do you have the information of where he currently is? I want to pay him a visit.” After a moment of thought, Brian suddenly asked.

“Yes, I have already done my investigation. Adrian, the figurehead of Sky Technologies, he usually goes to Riverside Residential community.

I sent someone to tail him, and they realized that he usually stayed in Villa number 5. And apart from him, there is always a young man inside that villa, who is most supposedly Michael Santos.” Hudson responded.

“Okay. Make arrangements, tomorrow, the first thing in the morning, I will be paying a visit to that kid. If he knows what is good for him, he better cooperate and sell Sky Technologies to me. Otherwise, he might end up losing it, not gaining even a cent.” Brian snorted before he stood up and left.

…

On the other side, after Michael went back to his room, he decided to push another skill to the expert level.

But in between, he had to come back to the living room, so that he could prepare something for Marion to eat.

Later in the evening, Adrian came back, and after the meal, everyone went to sleep.

But the following morning, they received an early visit. It was around 7, but someone had unexpectedly come for a visit.

When Michael, who was busy pushing another skill to the expert level, heard the doorbell ring, he was slightly confused. For a moment, he thought, could this be a guest that Adrian had invited?

But looking at Adrian’s expression, it was clear that he did not know who it was that had come over. Still, he went to get the door.

Michael on the other hand began thinking, trying to think of who might be visiting him this early in the morning.

In the end, he could not think of anyone that he was very familiar with, that would come to visit him at this time.

As Adrian came back, following behind him was a young man with red-dyed hair. Following behind him was a bald man wearing a down coat, carrying a cap in his hand.

The young man was continuously looking around, his eyes filled with disdain. As compared to the luxurious villas that could be found in the capital, this so-called top presidential community of Brenton city was nothing at all.

So, he thought, he would just complete what had brought him here, then depart. There was no need for him to continue staying in such a place.

And as he entered the living room, he gazed at Michael. This was the first time that he was seeing him. After all, Michael’s image could not be found, no matter the methods that they used.

It was to the extent that even the people that Hudson had sent, after taking images of Michael, they ended up losing them in one way or the other.

Looking at Michael, Brian felt that this kid felt familiar. It was just that he could not pinpoint exactly where he had seen Michael.

Still, he threw the sense of familiarity to the back of his mind, not willing to continue thinking about it. Instead, he entered the living room, and took a seat, as though he was the host.

He looked at Adrian and said in a commanding tone, “Go and bring me something to eat. I had to come to visit you this early in the morning, and I’m starving. The food in that hotel is not good at all. Maybe I might make do with what you can prepare?”

After instructing, Brian did not continue gazing at Adrian, instead, he just stared at Michael. As for Michael, after just a glance at Brian, he completely ignored him, continuing with what he was doing.

Being ignored by someone, this was the first in Brian’s life. At this moment, he felt anger beginning to erupt within his heart.

He was the one that was used to ignoring people. Since when did another person start ignoring him? He had come here to pay a visit, and yet, the host was ignoring him? This was something that he could not tolerate.

So, he glared at Michael and spoke angrily, “Hey brat, can’t you see that I’m here? I’m a busy person, and I don’t have time to waste with you. So, let’s get this done as soon as possible, so that I can be on my way.

Anymore time that I spend in this disgusting place makes me sick. I want to go back home.”

Without looking up at him, Michael simply responded, “If I remember correctly, I did not invite you here. And if you feel disgusted being here, you can just go back home. Nobody is forcing you to stay.”

Hudson, who was standing behind the couch that Brian was sitting on, could not help but swallow hard. This was the first time that someone had ever talked to Brian in such a manner.

Even within the syndicate, people had to give him respect. Even the one that was leading the race for the next leader of the syndicate, he could not be so nonchalant in front of Brian.

But now, not only was Michael completely ignoring Brian, he even spoke to him in such a way? Wasn’t he too arrogant? Or did he believe that he had a better background as compared to Brian?

Veins popped up on Brian’s forehead as he glared at Michael, fuming internally. His eyes had already begun taking a red shade, as the anger within him had already begun boiling.

Still, Brian took a breath, trying to stabilize his emotions. And after a while, while controlling his anger, he spoke, “Okay, I will go straight to the point. I’m interested in Sky Technologies under your name.

I see that this company has quite some potential. But with your ability, I doubt that you will be able to bring out this potential. So, I want to relieve you of this task, and do it by myself.

So, I’m willing to offer you $500 million for Sky Technologies, what do you think? If you agree, the money can be transferred to your account right now, and we can sign the transfer agreement.”

Even Hudson, standing behind Brian, could not help but feel speechless for a moment. He had not anticipated that Brian would do something like this.

Even before Michael took over Sky Technologies, it was already valued at over $6 billion. And after the launching of the recent products, if Sky Technologies went public, it would be inevitable that the prices of its shares would tremendously increase.

By estimation, he believed that the value of sky technologies at the moment was at over $20 billion. It was not only due to the products that it had launched, but the staff that they had as well, including the potential that they held.

“Well, it is still early in the morning. It is no wonder that there is someone that is still dreaming.” Michael suddenly spoke, sending the living room into several seconds of silence.
