Soon, Assistant Hurley returned.

Standing in front of Hugo, he adopted a humble tone, “Mr. Hodges, our boss would like you to take a call.”

Hugo lazily glanced at him, showing no intention of taking the call.

Hurley frowned, “Mr. Hodges, we were at fault earlier. Please accept our apology. You can deal with us as you see fit.”

Hugo let out a cold laugh, his sharp gaze sweeping over Hurley. He didn’t say a word, yet his silence conveyed an intense

anger.

The person on the other end seemed to anticipate this and said something to Hurley, who nodded and put the phone on

speaker.

“Mr. Hodges.”

Hugo half–closed his eyes in a relaxed manner, his expression unchanged upon hearing the voice.

“It was my people who messed up and acted foolishly. Mr. Hodges, I hope you can be the bigger person and not hold it against them,” came the aged yet steady voice of Ray King from the other end.

Hugo’s calm face remained serene, his lips curled into a meaningful, cold smile.

Staring at the person in front of him, Hugo Hodges seemed to look right through him to the person on the other end of the phone. “Is it your people who are clueless, or is someone pulling the strings?”

“Mr. Hodges, you’re joking,” Ray King chuckled on the other end, though there was a hint of forced laughter. “I’m just an old man, not so out of touch with reality. If you really wanted that shipment, you could have taken it yourself. Why bother giving me a heads–up and then going through all the trouble to intercept it? It makes no sense.”

Hugo listened silently.

“If you’re still upset, Mr. Hodges, you can do whatever you like. I won’t object,” Ray King offered.

Hugo glanced around, his voice icy. “Is that so?”

“As long as it calms you down, Mr. Hodges, anything goes.”

“Your people are listening. Aren’t you worried about losing their loyalty?” Hugo asked.

“If they made a mistake, they should pay the price. They crossed you, Mr. Hodges. That’s their duty. As long as you’re

satisfied,” Ray King replied.

Hugo smiled, his pale face still exuding coldness. “And what if I’m still not satisfied?”

“So, Mr. Hodges, what do you want?” Ray King asked patiently from the other end.

“Well… I haven’t quite decided yet. After all, money isn’t something I lack, and as for influence… back when I was making

my way, your name wasn’t even on the radar,” Hugo Hodges said slowly, his words dripping with provocation.

Assistant Hurley listened, his brow furrowing.

Ray King was silent for a moment on the other end of the line.

After what seemed like ages, Ray suddenly burst into laughter, “Hahaha, Mr. Hodges, I knew you weren’t just any ordinary

person. Even a powerful businessman usually steers clear of these matters. Mr. Hodges, you’re full of surprises.”

Hugo remained silent, listening to the flattery.

“Since that’s the case, Mr. Hodges, let’s not beat around the bush. Just tell me what you want. If it’s within my power, I

won’t refuse!” Ray King said over the phone.

“Alright, since we’re being direct, I want all the information on your old rival!”

“You mean, the boss?” Ray King asked, surprised.

“Yes.”

Ray paused, “Mr. Hodges, do you have a grudge against him?”

“I wouldn’t just hand over their goods without a reason,” Hugo said.

“He’s not an ordinary guy!” Ray replied.

“What, are you scared?” Hugo challenged.

“Scared? I’ve been up against him for years, Mr. Hodges. There’s nothing to fear. I’m more concerned about you… Since

you’ve stepped away, without any deep grudges, it’s best not to get involved again. The outcome might not be what you

wish for.”

Hugo chuckled, “Are you worried about me, or is it that you can’t meet my request?”

Ray paused, then said, “I’ll find a way. One week, I promise.”

“Alright, I’ll be waiting.”

“And my goods…”

“Naturally, in a week as well!”

“Mr. Hodges, you truly are a businessman. It’s settled then, one week!” Ray said, then promptly hung up.

Hugo watched, a sly smile playing on his lips, his eyes full of mischief.

Assistant Hurley looked at Hugo, “Mr. Hodges, we overstepped today. Whatever you decide, we’ll accept.”

Hugo’s gaze swept the room with a cool indifference, his voice low and sharp, “In the past, if someone spoke to me like

that, they wouldn’t even have the chance to finish…” he said, his eyes shifting to…

Assistant Hurley’s cold eyes were filled with a bloodthirsty chill. “You should be grateful that I’m in a good mood today.

Otherwise, you wouldn’t even know how you died.”

Assistant Hurley paused for a moment, then nodded, “Well, thank you, Mr. Hodges.”

Hugo Hodges narrowed his eyes, immediately adopting a serious tone. “I don’t have time to waste here. Tell me what

happened,”

Seeing this, Assistant Hurley quickly walked over and explained what had transpired after Hugo left.

Upon hearing this, Hugo furrowed his brows. “No damage at all, and just one person managed to steal the goods from

you?”

Assistant Hurley knew that this kind of news was embarrassing, but it was the truth. He nodded. “We’re not sure if it was just one person. Our guys only saw one, but it felt like there were many, like a well–planned setup…”

Hugo couldn’t help but sneer. “You had so many people and couldn’t even guard a single vehicle?”

“Our two vehicles were blocked at the back, separated from the goods in front.”

“Blocked at the back?”

Assistant Hurley nodded.

“Why was there a delay?”

Someone stepped forward to explain, “A kid stopped the car, said he got separated from his family, and wanted us to take

him home.”

“A kid?”

The person nodded.

“So, did you take him?”

“Of course not, things were urgent. He kept pestering us, but in the end, he just borrowed a phone to make a call.”

Hugo Hodges narrowed his eyes slightly, “Do you still have the number?”

“Yes!” Someone immediately handed over a phone.

Hugo glanced at the number and dialed it directly.

Everyone held their breath, watching Hugo, waiting for the call’s outcome.

“We’re sorry, the number you dialed is not in service…”

As the automated voice came through, Hugo’s lips curled into an oddly charming smile.

Clearly, the call’s outcome was exactly what he had expected.

The person who handed over the phone was stunned, “How could this be? He definitely made a call back then…”

Assistant Hurley looked at him, scolding coldly, “Fool, this was their setup. You got outsmarted by a kid. What’s the point

of having you around?”

“But Assistant Hurley, he was only six or seven years old. Who could have guessed?” the person replied, agitated.

At that moment, Assistant Hurley walked over to him and, with a swift punch, knocked the man to the ground. As he fell, a
