Chapter 470: 470. When the Son of Heaven gets angry, corpses float for a thousand miles_1

Upon entering the reception room, Adam Jones sat down on the sofa unapologetically, his presence as formidable as an emperor who ruled over all beneath the heavens.

Meanwhile, Director Drago of the kindergarten, usually a figure of high status, was now trembling before Adam Jones, looking as though he was waiting to be reprimanded, as if it was Adam who was the real owner of the kindergarten.

It was no wonder he acted so submissive before Adam, knowing that his family’s business had many collaborations with the Jones Corporation.

If he did anything to displease this powerful man, it would be a disaster as if "the emperor’s rage meant corpses for a thousand miles."

He cautiously assessed Adam’s expression and, after a moment of contemplation, approached gingerly, his demeanor showing his trepidation:

"Mr. Jones, if there is anything about our facility that has dissatisfied you, please point it out, and we will correct it immediately."

Elly Campbell sat next to Adam, witnessing how this normally prominent figure was now behaving so cautiously, as subservient as a grandchild in front of Adam, which made her reflect on how great it was to have power and influence.

She had never lacked for money from childhood, and her family connections were extensive, but now she realized that she still fell short when compared to Adam.

Adam didn’t speak; instead, he just held Elly’s hand, amusingly playing with her fingertips, casually stroking them every now and then.

Whenever Elly tried to pull away, he would tighten his grip with strength, as if he was certain she would not make a scene in front of these directors.

This time, he had read Elly correctly, for the sake of getting back at her son, she cooperated with Adam in displaying their affection in front of others.

Seeing the barely discernible smirk at the corner of his lips, Elly glared at him in secret, several times wishing she could smack his ear.

The more silent Adam was, the more anxious Director Drago became, his heart like that of a prisoner awaiting execution, fearing the guillotine’s fall, yet also dreading its unpredictable timing.

Just then, Adam made a slight move, and as he lifted his eyes, all traces of the smile that had been there because of Elly had vanished, replaced by a chilling coldness that burst forth from his piercing gaze.

"Ask them."

Adam’s gaze swept over the few people who had just entered the door, then he coldly withdrew his gaze.

Director Drago had no idea what had occurred to provoke this visit from Adam, the revered figure, but it definitely wasn’t anything good.

In a panic, he quickly grabbed Miss Davis, who had gone pale with fright, and demanded through clenched teeth, "Tell me, what exactly have you done to upset Mr. Jones?"

Miss Davis, nearly in tears from fear, didn’t dare to withhold anything and immediately repeated to Director Drago everything about what little Ming had said about William Campbell.

Upon hearing that the trouble had been caused by a parent of a child in the kindergarten, Director Drago sighed with relief.

As long as it wasn’t one of the teachers from his kindergarten that had upset Adam, it was manageable.

After his worries had been alleviated, he looked towards little Ming’s parents. He recognized these two; their family’s business had dealings with his own Drago Corporation.

However, their cooperation was trivial compared to that with the Jones Corporation.

Having spent decades in the world of business, Director Drago naturally knew how to choose.

Without waiting for Adam to make a demand, he had already made his move.

He addressed little Ming’s parents, "For such a young child like little Ming to say such things, if no one had taught him, how would a child know so much?"
