Chapter 424 No Mercy
Garth's face twisted up like he'd just bitten into a lemon. Dude had never been threatened like this before. He went quiet for a sec, like he was about to hatch a plot.
After a beat, he finally spoke, slow and menacing, "You threatening me? You got my number, so you must know who I am. Think you can take me on?"
Garth was cocky, riding high on all the resources he had. The guy owned three film companies and had connections with a bunch of big shots.
He wasn't scared of anyone!
Who did William think he was, challenging him?
It was a joke, really.
But William, cool as a cucumber, said, "Garth, brace yourself. Your empire's going down in the next twenty-four hours. Doesn't matter who you are or what you've got, I'm taking you down."
Garth was floored. William didn't seem scared at all.
"You wanna go to war with me, William? Do you even know the Tovar family's status?" Garth sneered, his face turning icy as he stood up in his fancy living room.
"War? You ain't even in my league!" William shot back, full of swagger.
That truly incensed Garth.
Garth laughed, but it was more like a growl, his face getting darker by the second.
"Not in your league? You've got guts, I'll give you that. But no one messes with me! In ten minutes, the internet's gonna be flooded with dirt on your wife and daughter!" Garth spat, clearly losing it.
In Lindwood City, who dared to talk to him like this?
"Good, Garth, I admire your conceit. Makes it all the more fun to crush you! Only then will you feel the pain!" William said, ice-cold.
Garth sneered, "Fine! I'll be waiting! The Tovar family is no joke! Watch your back, you might end up dead!"
"The Tovar family is no joke?" William chuckled, sending a chill down Garth's spine. "Just wait and see!"
Then, William hung up and immediately called George, his voice like ice, "George, wipe the Tovar family off the map. Anyone who gets in the way, same fate!"
On the other end, George hesitated. He'd been digging into Garth and found out the guy wasn't just some nobody. Taking down the Tovar family was one thing, but the people backing them were no joke. Garth had his own trump cards and safety nets.
George was a bit uneasy and said, "Sir, think it over. We might attract attention from the branch family."
William's eyebrows knitted together, his voice rising, "No mercy! The Tovar family must be destroyed!"
Hearing that, George didn't hesitate anymore and said, "Alright! I'll take care of it right away."
Seeing William hang up, Alan strolled over and asked, "Mr. Jones, need me to do anything?"
William replied, "Yeah, get ready. We're gonna need some inside-outside teamwork to bring down the Tovar family and their backers!"
Meanwhile, over at the Tovar family's swanky villa, Garth was lounging on a plush leather sofa in the living room, with two maids fussing over him. Caius stood off to the side, one arm in a cast.
"William's not backing down; he wants to take this fight to the end," Garth said slowly. It was the first time he'd met someone who wouldn't bend toward him.
Caius's face darkened, but he shrugged it off, "He's just putting on a show. Can he really stack up against you? He's just a useless loser, thinking he's hot stuff. Everyone online is talking about how his wife is being unfaithful; he probably doesn't even know how many times he's been played."
Caius was convinced that if Garth made a move, William wouldn't stand a chance.
Garth shot him a cold look and said, "Alright, I'll handle this myself. Stay put for the next few days and don't go out. I'm worried he might use you against me."
Caius immediately grinned, all obsequious. "Thanks, Garth. But what can he do to me? I need to get back that fifteen billion dollars!"
Garth just shook his head slightly, saying nothing.
Suddenly, the butler handed over a phone and said, "Mr. Tovar, a call from the company. They say it's urgent."
Garth's face darkened, his brows knitting together. Company issues usually didn't need his attention. If they reached him, it meant something big was up.
He answered, and an anxious voice came through, "Mr. Tovar, something's happened. Please turn on the news immediately!"
Garth quickly turned on the news. He saw footage of a surprise interview at his company. A host spoke, "Hello everyone, this is VisionVibe Media. We've received a tip that this film company engages in casting couch practices. Today, we brought the victim to see how they handle this."
In the footage, a masked female victim stood next to the reporter, tearfully speaking to the camera, "I started working here three months ago. The general manager of this company would harass me after work, telling me I was pretty and that he wanted to date me. Later, he abused his power to make me work overtime and raped me when no one was around. Afterward, he threatened me, saying he would ruin me."
By the end, she was sobbing uncontrollably. A large crowd of citizens had gathered around. VisionVibe Media had deployed many security guards to clear the scene, causing chaos.
Then, the camera shifted, and a reporter hurriedly said, "I'm now at VisionVibe Media. The security here clearly doesn't want us to interview and is using violence against us. Everyone, take a good look at their true colors"
