Chapter 481 Arranging a Job for Me?
Hubert's words made Louis stop in his tracks and ask, "Mr. Clark? Who's that?"
Hubert replied seriously, "It's Ryder Clark!"
Everyone's faces changed instantly! They widened their eyes and thought, 'Ryder? The one who ticked off Theodore just now? No way! With Hubert's high status, how could he possibly be here for such an arrogant man?'But just as that thought crossed their minds, it was immediately proven wrong!
Hubert's eyes scanned the room and landed on Ryder, who was chilling on the sofa!
He looked surprised for a second, then quickly walked over and bowed deeply to Ryder, saying, "Mr. Clark, sorry for being late."
Hubert stayed bent over, sweat forming on his forehead, clearly nervous.
Not just Hubert, but the group of business big shots from Jakarda City who came with him also bowed, barely breathing!
They were all waiting for Ryder to say something!
The room was dead silent, with only the sound of some people breathing.
Everyone was stunned!
The scene before them made no sense!
These businessmen were so powerful and wealthy in Jakarda City, yet they were showing such respect to Ryder!
The most shocked of all was Theodore!
With a trembling voice, he asked, "Hubert, what's going on? Have you all lost your minds, trying to please him?"
But Hubert didn't answer, staying perfectly still!
To be exact, Hubert didn't dare move until Ryder spoke!
This reaction made Theodore feel a chill of fear!
In Jakarda City, Hubert was the richest man with strong connections and status, and even he was scared of Ryder!
Could Ryder have some hidden identity?
'I've been in Jakarda City for so long and never heard of a powerful guy named Ryder Clark!' Theodore kept telling himself!
To boost his confidence, he pulled out his phone to call his guys and see when they'd get there!
But as soon as he made the call, he found that their phones were off!
What the heck was going on?
Theodore started to get anxious.
Things were slipping out of his control!
Just then, footsteps echoed outside the room!
Someone was coming!
Theodore's face lit up, thinking it must be his guys!
He threatened Ryder, "Just wait! No matter what you do, I'll make sure to kill you later!"
Theodore rushed to the door!
A group of people had arrived!
But when Theodore saw the leader, his excited expression froze.
"George, it's you!" Theodore shouted in shock!
Standing opposite Theodore was George, towering at 6.3 feet, making Theodore look tiny.
George glanced at Theodore without a word!
He just punched Theodore right in the gut!
Theodore let out a scream, doubling over!
The pain was so intense that Theodore could barely breathe!
This was the second time he'd been hit tonight!
Unlike Ryder's earlier kick, George's punch left Theodore too scared to even think about fighting back!
After all, George was the top dog in Houston!
And Theodore, just a faction leader in Jakarda City, wasn't even close to George's level of power and influence!
Plus, Theodore had a little-known secret.
Three years ago, feeling cocky, he tried to expand his influence into Houston, and unfortunately, his first target was George!
The result was a disaster.
Theodore got his butt kicked and slunk back to Jakarda City, never daring to try again!
So yeah, he was genuinely terrified of George!
Enduring the pain, Theodore said to George, "George, calm down. I've been laying low these past few years and haven't messed with you. Why'd you hit me?"
"Why'd I hit you?" George sneered, "Because you deserve it!"
With that, George grabbed Theodore by the collar and dragged him in front of Ryder!
He tossed him to the ground like a rag doll!
Theodore was stunned!
Before he could even process what was happening, George respectfully said to Ryder, "Mr. Clark, all of Theodore's bases, subordinates, and assets in Jakarda City have been dealt with. As for Theodore, he's up to you now!"
Hearing this, Theodore, sitting on the ground, was utterly shocked!
His empire, built over twenty years, gone just like that?
If anyone else had said it, he'd have laughed in their face!
But it was George saying it!
So it had to be true!
He glanced at Ryder on the sofa.
The man who seemed so ordinary and poor just minutes ago now looked tall, mysterious, and downright intimidating!
Theodore's body trembled uncontrollably, sweat dripping down his cheeks.
Even the dumbest person could see something was wrong. Hubert, George, and the others were showing such respect to Ryder!
Theodore shouted, "Who the hell are you?"
Ryder didn't even look at him.
He told Hubert and the others, "Relax, everyone. I'm just here to have some fun in Jakarda City, no need to be so formal!"
Hubert and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.
They quickly straightened up and wiped the sweat from their foreheads.
They raised their heads slightly to look at Ryder but didn't dare to make eye contact!
At this moment, Louis, who had been shocked into silence, stood there as if his heart had stopped!
Or rather, his whole understanding of the world had been flipped upside down!
The usually high-and-mighty Hubert was so respectful in front of Ryder!
Wasn't Ryder just a supervisor at a real estate company?
As Louis was lost in thought, Ryder suddenly looked at him, smiled faintly, and said, "Louis, weren't you going to get me a job? Your boss is here, why don't you talk to him about it?"
