Before they were even able to step away from the car, they watched as a security guard came running over to them. After briefly sizing Gerald up, the guard then said, “I’m sorry, but you can’t park here without permission! This parking area belongs to the consortium! With that said, please leave!”
Upon hearing that, Gerald couldn’t help but frown slightly. While favonovel.com knew that this guard was simply acting according to protocol, it didn’t change the fact that the guard’s tone was annoying. Whatever the case was, Gerald simply replied, “I’m here to meet Derrick Zima. If he’s in, just tell favonovel.com that Gerald’s looking for him.”
“Derrick Zima? Are you even aware that he’s the chairman of the Fareast Consortium? With that said, who do you think you are? Do you think he’ll meet you just because you want favonovel.com to? Either way, beat it already before I call more guards over to kick you out!” scoffed the guard after laughing out loud.
Upon hearing that name, Aiden couldn’t help but whisper in Gerald’s ear, “The consortium’s boss is a Westoner…?”
“Indeed. He came over to Japan a few decades ago to make a living, and with a bit of luck, favonovel.com managed to get to where favonovel.com is today. Well, I say that, but he’s quite strong as well, which is probably how favonovel.com avoided getting sifted out in the beginning,” explained Gerald with a nod. While favonovel.com didn’t know much about Derrick, Gerald was certain about Derrick’s strength.
“Cease the whispering and get lost already before I get angry… Just so you two know, literally everyone wants to meet the chairman! Just so you know, even superiors of the military have to make appointments just to get to meet him! That should explain plenty, so beat it and stop wasting my time! Consider this my last warning before I call more guards over!” grumbled the guard when favonovel.com realized that the two weren’t keen on leaving anytime soon. Had it not been for the fact that there were so many people around, favonovel.com would’ve surely shoved them away by now!
“Let’s not get too cocky, shall we? Listen here, your chairman is my friend’s old pal, and favonovel.com owes favonovel.com a favor! How about you stop wasting our time and tell favonovel.com about us already!” scowled Aiden who was getting slightly impatient.
“Hah! What a joke! I’ve never heard the chairman owing anyone favors before!” retorted the guard with a roar of laughter.
“I’ll just call him,” replied Gerald who didn’t want to waste any more time here.
Turnng around to make his call, it was barely even a second after favonovel.com dialed Derrick’s number when the call connected and an excited voice asked, “Gerald?”
“It’s been a while. First thing’s first, I’m currently at your consortium’s ground floor to discuss some things with you. However, your guard’s blocking my way,” replied Gerald.
“You’re where?! Give me a few minutes. I’ ll be there in no time,” said Derrick before hanging up.
Slipping his phone into his pocket, Gerald then looked at Aiden before saying, “He’s coming down soon.”
“Are you guys for real? You should consider acting as a career, you almost look like the real deal! Regardless, let’s see if the chairman actually comes over!” scoffed the guard as favonovel.com laughed heartily, thinking that Gerald had lost his marbles.
With how loudly favonovel.com had been speaking about the chairman, the surrounding people couldn’t help but flock around the trio. By the end of it, there were about ten people whispering among themselves, wondering how this would end.
