Chapter 626 Don’t be greedy in your next life
Su Zhengyang stood up, his figure was tall and majestic, like an unshakable mountain. His eyes were like a sharp blade, staring at Cornett, his deep eyes revealed an unquestionable majesty and coldness.
Cornett felt the sharp gaze, as if he was being held tightly by an invisible giant hand, unable to break free. His heartbeat instantly accelerated, and nervousness surged into his heart like a tide. He recalled the scene a few days ago when Su Zhengyang smashed Redmond to death with an ashtray, and the scene at that time lingered in his mind like a nightmare.
That terrifying look was like the flames from hell, burning Cornett's heart. He felt as if his soul was stripped away and exposed to the cold air, unable to escape that sharp gaze.
Under this pressure, Cornett's body began to tremble involuntarily. His legs seemed to lose strength and he slid off the sofa and sat on the ground. He grasped the ground with both hands, trying to find a little support, but to no avail.
He looked at Su Zhengyang with fear, his cold face without any expression, as if he was a sculpture without emotion.
Su Zhengyang's footsteps echoed in the room, and each step seemed steady and powerful. He walked in front of Cornett and looked down at the messenger who was slumped on the ground, his eyes full of disdain and contempt.
"Mr. Cornett," Su Zhengyang's voice was low and cold, and every word seemed to come from an ice cellar. "What I hate most is idiots like you. You act so self-righteous in front of me. What disgusts me even more is that a clown like you dares to yell in front of me."
Cornette was intimidated by Su Zhengyang's momentum. He tried to explain with a trembling voice: "Su... President Su, I..." But his words were interrupted by Su Zhengyang.
Su Zhengyang did not give him any chance to refute. He slowly stretched out his hand and pulled out the pistol from his waist. The pistol gleamed coldly in the sun, emitting a cold murderous intent. He pushed the safety off, and the crisp sound of metal collision echoed in the room, making people shudder.
The muzzle of the gun pointed directly at Cornett's forehead, and Su Zhengyang's eyes became even colder: "Mr. Cornett, I'm sorry, your life may end here. I am happy to serve you personally and send you to see your God!"
Cornett was frightened by Su Zhengyang's actions, his eyes were filled with fear and despair. He felt his heartbeat was about to burst through his chest, cold sweat slid down his forehead like a waterfall, soaking his clothes. His body was shaking violently, his legs had long lost consciousness, as if bound by invisible chains and unable to move.
In extreme fear, Cornett became incontinent. He could not control his physiological reaction and only felt a warm current flowing down his trouser legs. The wet and cold feeling made him even more desperate.
He knelt on the ground, clasped his hands together, pressed his forehead to the ground, and kowtowed repeatedly to beg for mercy. His voice was trembling and weak, with a sobbing tone: "Su... President Su, I... I was really wrong! Please, let me go! I will never dare to do it again! I will return to the Billy Empire immediately and convey your intention to His Majesty the King. We are willing to return the concession unconditionally, just please spare my life!"
His voice echoed in the empty room, sounding so humble and pitiful. He kept kowtow, his forehead was already bruised, but he didn't dare to stop, for fear that Su Zhengyang would change his mind.
Su Zhengyang watched all this coldly. He was not shaken by Cornette's plea for mercy.
Su Zhengyang looked at Cornett's terrified expression, without any sympathy in his heart. He spoke coldly, his voice like an ice spike piercing Cornett's heart: "Cornett, in your next life, remember not to be a greedy fool again."
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Zhengyang decisively pulled the trigger. The sound of gunfire echoed in the empty office, shaking the air. One, two, three gunshots... Su Zhengyang fired several shots in succession, and each bullet hit Cornett accurately. His body was like a fallen leaf swept by a strong wind, shaking violently, and finally collapsed to the ground.
Blood gushed out from his wound, instantly staining the surrounding carpet red. The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, which was nauseating. Cornett's eyes gradually became blurred, and the breath of life quickly dissipated from his body.
Su Zhengyang looked at Cornett's body with disgust, and there was no trace of emotion on his face. He turned to his secretary Fu Jiang and ordered: "Fu Jiang, throw this idiot's body into the sea to feed the fish."
Fu Jiang nodded in agreement. He knew Su Zhengyang's character, so it was best not to say too much at this time. He then ordered the guards who rushed in because of the gunshots: "Follow the president's instructions and take this man's body away."
The guards quickly stepped forward and lifted up Cornett's body. Su Zhengyang added, "By the way, leave his head. It may serve as a warning to others in the subsequent negotiations."
Fu Jiang understood what Su Zhengyang meant, and he nodded, signaling the guards to do as he was told. Soon, Su Zhengyang and Fu Jiang were the only ones left in the office.
The cleanup in the office was done quickly and thoroughly. The carpet was carefully rolled up and replaced with a new one, clean and tidy. The guards used a professional cleaning agent to wash the floor. Although they scrubbed vigorously, the air was still filled with a faint smell of blood, as if reminding them of the tragic scene that had just happened.
Fu Jiang looked at the cleaned office, still shocked. He turned to Su Zhengyang, with a hint of worry in his voice: "President, if we kill Cornett and forcibly take back the concession with such a tough measure, I'm afraid it will attract condemnation from the Billy Empire."
Su Zhengyang smiled slightly, and that smile was full of confidence and disdain.
He turned around and looked at Fu Jiang firmly: "Fu Jiang, the current Bili Empire is no longer the European power it once was. Their royal family is struggling to survive under the attack of the Bird Empire. The country is in chaos and the people are complaining. Under such circumstances, they dare to threaten our China. They are simply overestimating their own capabilities."
He paused and continued, "Our action this time is not only to recover the concession, but also to show the world our China's determination and strength. We want everyone to know that China is not a country that can be bullied at will. We will give the most severe blow to any force that dares to challenge our bottom line."
Fu Jiang nodded, knowing that Su Zhengyang's words were not empty words. He then asked: "Then how should we deal with the condemnation of the Billy Empire?"
Su Zhengyang smiled slightly and said confidently: "The Billy Empire is now in a difficult situation. They simply do not have enough strength to compete with us. Moreover, we can use this opportunity to implicitly express our dissatisfaction with the Billy Empire to the Bird Empire. I believe that the Bird Empire will be happy to do us a favor and completely make the Billy Empire a thing of the past."
After Fu Jiang heard this, his mind suddenly became clear. He knew that Su Zhengyang had made all the preparations and follow-up plans for this matter. He bowed deeply and prepared to follow Su Zhengyang's instructions.
