Chapter 77 Signing the Contract

A few folks showed up at the wedding spot at the base of the mountain.

The place was still a wreck, hadn't been cleaned up yet.

Fergus stood in the chaos and said calmly, "Alright, let's get to it. Who's chopping? Hurry up, don't waste time!"

"Still acting tough, even now!" Tyler gritted his teeth. "Don't forget, Ms. Gray isn't here, and even if she was, she couldn't save you!"

Logan snapped, "You arrogant fool, if it weren't for Ms. Gray, you wouldn't be alive. I'd have chopped you up long ago!"

Marlin, even more pissed, yelled, "Fergus, get on your knees and beg Mr. Thomas Zimmerman now, maybe you'll have a slim chance. Otherwise, you're fish food!"

Fergus looked around, wondering why there was so much talking.

He couldn't be bothered to respond.

Fergus walked straight towards them.

Seeing Fergus approach, Logan and the others got nervous and quickly backed off.

Thomas looked around and said, "What are you scared of? I'm here, and you're scared of Fergus?! Get back here and each of you chop off one of Fergus's fingers!"

To Thomas, this was clearly a lack of confidence and an insult!

But just after Thomas finished speaking, Fergus slapped Thomas across the face and asked calmly, "Still want to chop my hand?"

Thomas was stunned, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets. As the head of the Zimmerman family, the third-ranked family head among the five major families, and one of the top figures in Silvervale Province, Fergus actually dared to hit him.

In shock, he said, "You dare hit me?"

Fergus slapped him again. "Are you a fool? I've already hit you, and you're still asking?"

Fergus rarely killed or seriously injured them.

Thomas, furious and filled with killing intent, shouted, "You!"

Fergus slapped him again, annoyed. "Why are you shouting? Keep it down. Let me ask you, are you still going to trouble Violet?"

Thomas was speechless.

His mind was buzzing, as if he were dreaming. He had actually been hit? This was the first time in his life he had been hit!

Fergus grabbed Thomas' face and shook it, saying, "Remember, don't bother Violet again, or I won't hesitate to make you end up like your son!"

With that, he walked towards Tyler and slapped him.

Tyler wanted to cry and said aggrievedly, "Why did you hit me?"

"I've teached you how to exercise. Have you follow my instructions?" Fergus asked.

Tyler lowered his head, not daring to speak.

Fergus looked at them and sneered. "A bunch of little trash. If you dare to mess with me again, I'll make you wish you were dead!"

Fergus really didn't take these people seriously. Kevin ranked even higher than Thomas, and in prison, he was at the bottom. Arms dealers, regional warlords, and financial tycoons might be powerful outside, but inside, they were only middle-tier at best.

At the top were the leaders of various mysterious organizations around the world!

Even so, when Fergus ate, they could only face the wall.

In comparison, Thomas wasn't even an ant, just dust.

After Fergus left, Thomas let out a wild scream, his face twisted in rage. He had been hit, and he couldn't believe it, as if he were dreaming.

Logan and the others shivered in fear and quickly stepped forward to console him, "Mr. Thomas Zimmerman, don't take it to heart. Fergus is just a poor man who isn't afraid of the rich!"

"Yes, your health is important. Take care of yourself."

"Getting angry with Fergus means you've fallen into his trap!"

Thomas suddenly turned his head. He slapped the three of them in quick succession, venting his anger on them. The three didn't dare to speak.

Thomas stopped hitting them but was still shaking with rage, muttering through clenched teeth, "I will kill him. I will definitely kill him!"

He turned and barked, "Get in touch with David right now and find out how the formula's coming along. We need to start production ASAP. Move it!"

The three scrambled to get busy.

In reality, Thomas had no intention of giving the contract to Violet out of goodwill. It was a trap, designed to make Violet invest in producing the drug. Once the drug was ready and Violet delivered it to Samuel, Thomas planned to present David's drug instead.

Thomas was convinced that once Samuel saw the results, he'd definitely choose David's drug!

This way, Violet would suffer a double loss!

Originally, he had planned to exchange the contract for Fergus' hands, but instead, he got slapped! "I will make you suffer, suffer terribly!"

When Fergus got back to the villa, he found Violet secretly wiping away tears. Seeing him, she quickly stood up and checked his hands, finding nothing wrong.

She asked in surprise, "Thomas didn't touch you?"

Fergus grinned and said, "I told them I needed my hands to cook for you. They were very moved and praised me as a good man while sending me off."

Violet was stunned, her face turning slightly red. Then she cautiously asked, "You didn't hit Thomas, did you? Hitting Thomas is no small matter. He represents not just himself but the entire Zimmerman family, and behind them is the Gray family."

Seeing Violet's nervousness, Fergus smiled and said, "Don't worry, I didn't cause any harm. Leave the rest to me. I'm very capable!"

Violet's mouth dropped open in shock. He really did hit him, but it was too late to say anything now.

She quickly sat back on the couch and looked at the contract on the coffee table. After reading it several times, she found it normal, except for needing to come up with a few billion dollars.

'Why would Thomas give this contract for free? With this contract, I won't need to go back!' She couldn't figure it out!

Seeing Violet's worried expression, Fergus casually said, "When Hayden brings the money in a few days, you'll be at the level of the richest people. There's no need to do business. I can take care of you."

Violet smiled. She hadn't told Fergus about the "consultation fee" before because there was no solution. But now, with this contract, she could talk about it.

She explained briefly.

Then she said with some frustration, "If I sign this contract and sell the drug to Uncle Samuel, I can stay in Tarynville and protect you. But I have a feeling this isn't that simple. But the contract has no loopholes."

Violet showed a hint of bitterness, feeling it hard to make the decision..

Just then, Fergus' phone rang. It was David.

Fergus answered, thinking David had encountered a tricky medical case, but instead, David recounted what had happened last night.

Fergus looked at the contract again and immediately understood that Thomas was setting a trap!

He replied, "Tell them we can cooperate. I'll make another batch of samples!"

He hung up, looking at Violet, he smiled and said, "Sign it, no problem!"

Violet was puzzled. "You agree to sign? I still feel something's off!"

Fergus said firmly, "Trust me!"

Violet thought for a moment and quickly signed.

After signing, Violet immediately contacted Samuel. "Uncle Samuel, I've secured the drug's distribution rights. When would be a good time to sign the contract?"

Samuel was surprised. "You got it? Didn't Red Pharmaceuticals partner with the Zimmerman family?"

Samuel had been following the matter.

Violet smiled and said, "I got it now!"

Samuel didn't ask further, "Alright, I'll come by tonight to sign the contract!"
