The speaker was tall, with a gray head, a wrinkled forehead, and eyes as sharp as a hawk. He was none other than Derek, the chairman of the Rosefield Consortium and the head of the Rose family.

Derek originally didn't want to come over, but the three of them, Anthony, were too unbearable and made such a big fuss that he could no longer sit on the Diaoyutai and had to step in to clean up the mess.

The messy scene outside the conference room was shocking even though Derek's palace was extremely deep and weathered.

Especially the miserable appearance of Auguste's twisted and broken arms made Derek's eyes twitch. He raised his evaluation of Lin Zhong to a higher level, classifying him as the most dangerous one.

August is a senior cadre of the Zodiac, his status is second only to the Five Pillars and Inspectors. He has S-level or above strength, but he was easily defeated by Lin Zhong. So how strong is Lin Zhong?

In the blink of an eye, many thoughts flashed through Derek's mind, but his expression did not change. He remained calm and full of momentum.

Behind Derek, there was a large group of people, all of whom were executives of the Rosfermei Consortium, including the fathers of Anthony, Clarence, and Julian.

Facing Derek's inquiry, Anthony and Clarence were ashamed and ashamed, their faces flushed red, their heads drooped, and they wanted to dig a hole in the ground and crawl in.

Julian breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Lin Zhong cautiously, then suddenly spread his legs, ran behind Derek and hid.

Derek's face was full of gloom, Julian was as timid as a mouse, and his cowardly and insignificant behavior made him feel very embarrassed, but he endured it and did not do anything.

"Grandpa, these people from the Galaxy Military Industrial Group went too far. They didn't take us seriously at all. Not only did they injure Captain August, they also killed two security personnel."

Julian stretched out half of his head, leaned into Derek's ear, and said more jealously: "It's not our fault that things turned out like this, it's all their fault! They came here not to negotiate at all, but to demonstrate to us!"

"Crack!"

However, as soon as Julian finished speaking, he received a hard slap on the face.

"Grandpa, why did you hit me?"

Julian was stunned by the slap, and subconsciously raised his hands to cover his cheeks, his eyes wide open with a horrified expression.

Derek frowned, his eyes flashed with anger, and without any words, he slapped Julian again on the other side of the face.

"Crack!"

This slap was harder than the previous one. Julian was slapped until blood started to flow from the corner of his mouth. Stars were shaking in front of his eyes. He staggered a few steps to the side and almost fell to the ground.

When Julian was being beaten, no one else in the Rosfermei Consortium dared to plead for mercy, even if they showed their expressions of intolerance. This shows how powerful Derek was.

Julian had no idea why he was beaten. Two slaps in succession made him feel wronged and scared. He couldn't help but burst into tears, his face covered with snot and tears.

A grown man crying like a child really opened Lin Zhong's eyes.

Derek said coldly: "Shut up!"

Julian's body trembled and he hurriedly closed his mouth, but tears could not be stopped, pouring out of his eyes like a fountain.

"Am I blind?" Derek asked.

Julian shook his head vigorously.

Derek asked again: "Am I deaf?"

Julian shook his head again.

"Since I'm not blind or deaf, why do you lie in front of me? Do you think I'm as easy to deceive as your women?"

Derek's tone was cold: "Julian, remember, you are not allowed to lie to me at any time and anywhere. Next time, it won't be as simple as two slaps."

Julian was trembling all over and nodding like garlic, looking both funny and pitiful.

"Now, get out of the way."

Derek waved his hand impatiently.

Julian did not dare to say a word, covered his face with his hands, and left the conference room in embarrassment.

First, he was forced by Lin Zhong to apologize to Su Miao, and then he was lectured by Derek in front of so many people. It is estimated that he will not be able to hold his head high and behave as a human being for a long time in the future.

"Tell me, what happened?"

Derek looked at Clarence, who had been silent.

With Julian's example in front of him, Clarence did not dare to exaggerate or conceal anything at this time, and hesitantly told the whole story.

After listening to Clarence's story, Derek's face became terrifyingly gloomy.

The executives of Rosfermei Consortium who followed Derek also looked at each other, not knowing what expressions to show.

To be honest, there was nothing wrong with what Anthony and the other three did. The reason why the result turned out to be like this actually happened to Lin Zhong and Su Miao.

Who told the two of them to act out of common sense?

Derek glanced at August, who was in a coma, and then glanced at the security personnel lying in a mess in the corridor. He suppressed his anger and said calmly: "You guys stand down."

After hearing this, Anthony and Clarence bowed to Derek, bowed their heads and stepped aside as if they had been granted amnesty.

"Carry August and these people away, I don't want to see them again."

Derek said again expressionlessly.

"Yes, boss."

The surrounding security personnel acted quickly and carried August and other injured people away in a hurry.

It was calm again outside the conference room. Only the cracks on the floor and the big holes in the walls told people what had happened here.

Derek walked into the conference room, came to Lin Zhong and Su Miao, and said calmly: "Miss Su, Mr. Lin, I hope the little unpleasantness before has not affected your mood. I will negotiate with you next. How?

?”

Lin Zhong's eyes flashed, and he silently took a step back, revealing Su Miao's figure.

"A little unpleasantness?"

Su Miao said lukewarmly: "Mr. Ross, after the previous conflict, I don't think it is necessary to continue talking, so why waste each other's time."

"It seems that Miss Su is quite dissatisfied with our approach, but what we do is itself part of the negotiation, to suppress the opponent's momentum and gain the initiative for our own side. If it were you, you would do the same, right?"

Derek chuckled, like a cunning old fox, making it impossible for anyone to guess his true intentions: "Besides, if you return without success this time, wouldn't you be playing into someone's hands, Miss Su, don't you think so?"

"Mr. Ross seems to be very aware of the affairs of our Galaxy Military Industrial Group."

"I really like a saying in Sun Tzu's The Art of War. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you survive a hundred battles. I can guarantee that there are few people who know Galaxy Military Industrial Group better than me."

Derek stretched out his hand and said, "Ms. Su, you have traveled thousands of miles to come to Europe, and you definitely don't want to go to Europe in vain, so you might as well let us sit down and have a frank talk. Anyway, even if the negotiation fails in the end, you won't have any problems."
