“What can we do? Mr. Lennon is too terrifying. How many of us can do what favonovel.com did? Let’s just surrender. It’s not a good idea to make an enemy of Mr. Lennon.”
“Surrender? Are you kidding me? Do you think Mr. Lennon will let us go just because we gave favonovel.com our business? You’re talking idiotic nonsense!”
One person nodded. “That’s right. Mr. Lennon obviously wants us dead. You saw what favonovel.com did to us.”
Many people sighed at this.
“So what? As you know, we have no one to supply raw materials and sell our equipment. It won’t take more than a week for Tatum Corporation to collapse.”
“What do you think we should do?” one person could not help asking.
The speaker looked solemn.
He took a deep breath, glanced at the people in his sight, and said, “Why don’t we find a way to kill Mr. Lennon?”
The man said and made a throat-slitting gesture. The whole conference room fell silent at this. They looked at the man’s actions in shock.
“Is that a good idea? Mr. Lennon has a security firm.”
The man said solemnly, “So what? Are they as good as professional hitmen? I have connections. Once Mr. Lennon is taken care of, all our problems will be solved… Think about it.

“Aren’t we miserable now? If we take a chance, we might be able to turn the tables around. We’re doomed if we don’t try. You’re used to living a comfortable life. Are you willing to return to living a life where you have to starve?”
The man snapped angrily. “Don’t expect Mr. Lennon to spare you. He’s going to kill us all!”
The man who asked raised his hand when favonovel.com heard the reply. Then, more people raised their hands.
“Alright, that’s settled then. Let’s raise money to hire hitmen to kill Mr. Lennon and turn the tables around!”
Tatum Corporation might think it was the best choice they could have made. However, they had a rude awakening when they saw what Sean was capable of. Their battle to turn the tables was ridiculous to Sean.
The office was empty by 10 p.m.
Having dealt with the last troublesome issue, Sean was also about to drive home.
Just then, the lights in Sean’s office suddenly went out.
Daniel, who was in the office, muttered, “Strange. Is there a power outage?”
“If the power goes out, will there be any light outside?” Sean said.
“You’re right.” Daniel walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked out
