Chapter 418 Did You Get My Permission?

"Wait, what?" Ryder's words left Percy totally floored.

He thought he must've heard wrong and asked again, "Mr. Clark, did you just say..."

Ryder, cool as a cucumber, replied, "Didn't catch that? I want you to smear this ice cream on Ken's face!"

After getting the confirmation, Percy's face twisted into a mix of conflict and bitterness.

He glanced over at Ken and his crew, who were just as stunned!

They were shocked, wondering why Percy would treat this jerk like that, and also shocked that this jerk was actually using Percy to mess with them!

The manager frowned and said to Percy, "Mr. Wheeler, don't let this troublemaker get to you! We can still have a good partnership, but I suggest you handle this quick!"

Percy felt super embarrassed!

Getting Ken to join the company's commercial gigs and ad plans was a big deal!

But Ryder was not someone Jadewood Group could afford to piss off!

Percy was stuck between a rock and a hard place!

Things were spiraling out of control!

Seeing Percy hesitate, Ryder's lips curled into a sly smile.

He said, "I heard your company’s been having some money issues lately. Honestly, I'm very interested in Jadewood Group's business. If there's a chance to gather some business partners in Houston to finance and expand it, that'd be awesome!"

Percy's eyes widened, and he couldn't hide the joy on his face!

Knowing the company was in financial trouble, they had planned to get a bank loan, but that came with high risks and interest, not the best move.

But now Ryder was offering a super sweet financing deal, which was super tempting!

If it worked out, Jadewood Group's strength would skyrocket, bringing more value than Ken alone!

His voice shook as he asked Ryder, "Mr. Clark, are you serious?"

Ryder replied calmly, "Do I look like I'm joking?"

Percy shook his head like crazy. "No way!"

Ryder was a big shot among the younger crowd in Houston, no way he'd joke with a small-time VP like Percy.

If the chairman knew he secured the financing, there'd definitely be a big reward waiting for him!

Thinking of this, Percy didn't hesitate for even a second!

In front of everyone, Percy grabbed the half-melted ice cream Ryder handed over.

He turned around and quickly walked towards Ken.Before Ken could even react, the ice cream in Percy's hand was already smeared all over Ken's face. "Cool down a bit!"

"Damn it!" Ken, with ice cream dripping off his face, let out a horrified yell!

He stumbled back a couple of steps, frantically wiping his face, making the ice cream spread everywhere, cold and sticky!

In his panic, he tripped over his own feet and fell to the ground and made a big thud.

He looked totally humiliated!

Ken's manager stood there, mouth open, watching the whole scene unfold, her mind blank for several seconds!

This was the first time she'd ever seen something like this happen to an artist!

More than shock, she was fuming!

Pointing a shaky finger at Percy, she spat, "Are you outta your mind? What the hell are you doing to Ken? Have you completely lost your sense of cooperation?"

Percy tossed the remaining half of the ice cream on the ground next to Ken and sneered. "Cooperation? Screw that. Get lost!"

Percy felt a rush of satisfaction in his chest as he shouted this.

He'd been fed up with Ken and his crew for ages!

When negotiating commercial gigs and ad deals, Ken's team had thrown out a ton of ridiculous demands, keeping Jadewood Group's business department on their toes.

Even so, Ken's team kept nitpicking, coming up with a new issue every day!

In short, they were a pain in the ass!

Percy was almost at his breaking point!

Now that he'd pissed them off and made it clear there'd be no cooperation, he didn't need to show any respect!

It was over!

Ken's manager was stunned, her chest heaving with anger. "Do you know how much impact ending this deal will have on your company? Do you know how much money your company will lose without Ken?"

Percy brushed off his clothes and responded indifferently, "Ken's influence is all smoke and mirrors. You know it, I know it, and you have the audacity to lecture me about it?"

"You!" Ken's manager was trembling with rage.

Especially hearing the mocking laughter from the onlookers, she couldn't stand it!

"Just wait, I'll hire the best lawyer. I'll make your company pay for Ken's reputation damage and mental anguish. I'll sue you until you go bankrupt!"

The manager was spitting with rage, almost like a madwoman!

Hearing this, Percy snorted coldly and responded, "Go ahead! Anyway, we know something about your tax issues. Wonder what'll happen if that gets out?"

Percy's words made the manager's face go pale!

She realized she'd handed them the leverage!

Because previously, Jadewood Group had paid Ken's team a cooperation deposit of $1 million!

And Ken's team had requested to go through a special contract to dodge taxes!

Originally, Jadewood Group disagreed, but faced with Ken's team's strong stance, they had to comply!

Now, Jadewood Group had all the evidence of this shady deposit process. If this got exposed and caused a stir, Ken would definitely face a huge public backlash, and given his poor connections in the entertainment industry, he'd never be able to stand up again!

Because there were too many people who could replace him!

Therefore, the manager didn't dare to go down with Jadewood Group!

Considering Ken's career prospects, she had no choice but to swallow her pride.

She reluctantly said to Percy, "Fine! You win!"

Then she turned to her team and said, "Let's go! We're never coming back to this dump again!"

Meanwhile, the assistant had already helped Ken up and was wiping the ice cream off his face with a tissue!

The manager clenched her fists, ready to leave with the team.

But at that moment, Ryder's cold voice rang out. "Hey! Did you get my permission to leave? You're not leaving until you apologize to my family. You hear me?"
