Chapter 38 Mental Attacks vs. Physical Attacks
Everyone looked at him.
Those who blocked his way hurriedly stepped aside.
The people on the factory side had never seen the newly appointed CEO of the conglomerate company, but as soon as he walked in, his inherent dignity overwhelmed them.
Ezequiel walked to the center of the conference table with a serious face, “Have they found the person?”
His gaze swept across the faces of the crowd.
The whole room fell silent as if frozen.
But not everyone remained silent, someone had to speak up as a representative, and it was the factory director, who naturally answered.
Everyone looked at James in unison.
Ezequiel’s beautiful peach blossom eyes glanced at him, not knowing if it was out of fear or if he was amazed by the perfect appearance of the CEO. James’s heart was pounding, “CEO, the person, the person hasn’t been. found yet.”
“Are you James?”
“Yes, yes.”
“From what I know, today was the day you received Guadalupe, so logically, you would be the one who knew her whereabouts for the day.’ His voice was slow and steady, yet carried a sense of oppression that

could pierce through one’s heart.
James’s heart beat faster.
His eyes flickered, his breathing was difficult, but he had to force himself to answer. “Indeed, it was me who received Guadalupe, and it was also me who saw her off. However, I only took her to the factory gate, and then I went back inside the factory. I truly don’t know where Guadalupe went after that.”
“Do you really not know?” Ezequiel leaned forward, his body hunched, his slender fingers pressed against the tabletop, his sharp eyes fixed on him. “What if 1 present the evidence of you lying?”
James’s mind buzzed, and Blackie’s fur turned the color of cement in
fright.
“No. no. President, I didn’t lie. I really don’t know where Guadalupe
went.”
Death is inevitable, but the instinct still wanted to take a gamble.
In the factory, the few others who were aware of the situation would lower their heads and sweat profusely, not daring to take a breath.
Ezequiel did not speak.
He just pretended a little, and then all his true colors were revealed.
Guadalupe disappeared, and they were definitely involved.
Desmond, who had been eavesdropping all along, was now furious. Without caring about anything else, he went up and grabbed James by the collar, saying, “Where is my wife? What have you done to her?”
“Who… who are you? Let go!” James was being dragged to the point of
suffocation.

A loud bang.
Desmond slammed James‘ head hard onto the desk, the impact felt as if his skull had been shattered.
The people around were stunned.
Someone wanted to help, but just as they were about to approach, they were intimidated by the gaze projected by Ezequiel,
His gaze was also noticed by others.
It was understood at the time that this person’s actions were allowed by the president.
No one dared to approach anymore.
Desmond grabbed James by the hair, lifted his head, and forcefully pulled it back, his face filled with a murderous expression, like a hellish Yama. “Tell me, where is my wife?”
“I…” Mr. Oliver, with blood all over his face and nose, wanted to say, “I don’t know.” but after uttering the word “I,” he saw the terrifying expression on his face, as if his head could be twisted off at any moment, and he dared not utter another word..
“I can fulfill your wish to die,” Desmond raised his head and was about to smash it on the table.
“…I said. I said!”
James shouted, he couldn’t bear it anymore. If his head got hit again, he
would die!
The head hovered above the desktop, with a gap of one centimeter.
Desmond lifted his head up again, “This was your last chance.”

His words not only made James tremble, but also made the hearts of several “accomplices” in the room reach their throats.
Wanting to speak up, wanting to take a step forward to save, but the next
second they were sealed in their actions by the most dominant and
piercing gaze in the room that could not be ignored.
Just one move, and everything was ruined.
James could speak up, and then we would be in trouble together.
The atmosphere instantly became extremely tense.
“Guadalupe, she… she was…”
“What is this for!”
Just as James was about to speak, a stern shout came from the direction of the door.
Jackson came.
Walking behind him was Melany.
The two of them drove their cars into the factory.
Ezequiel looked back at the past, with a cold gleam in his eyes, as if questioning: Am I here, is it your turn to speak?
Jackson lowered his head and touched his nose, then stood behind.
Melany.
The mouth that was supposed to be pried open was abruptly interrupted by the sudden appearance of cats and dogs, and the fire in Desmond’s heart could easily turn this place into a furnace.
He pointed at Jackson and said to the people he brought, “Drag him out
11.40
Chapter
and beat him to death.”
Jackson: ”
Seeing several burly and menacing figures approaching him, who looked like professional fighters, he quickly ran away.
Those few people went to chase.
Melany was confused.
Who is this person?
She looked at Ezequiel and answered Gilbert, who was questioning her, “This is Guadalupe’s…” Considering that they hadn’t finalized their divorce proceedings and also considering that if she mentioned her ex- husband. she might be the next unlucky person to have Mr. Harrison blow their head off, she said, “husband.”
Husband?
Guadalupe got married!
Melany was shocked, her emotions blocked her way, and she suddenly became somewhat… unsure of what to do next.
Jackson, who was running frantically throughout the office, was caught.
When Desmond’s men were about to drag him out, another group of people rushed in from outside. They looked like local thugs. Seeing James being held down, the leader shouted and rushed forward to save him.
Several people pounced on him, and Desmond could only let go.
Afraid that the boss would get hurt, they grabbed Jackson’s bodyguard and went to protect him first.

In the midst of chaos, James was taken out of the conference room, and Gilbert looked at Ezequiel, inquiring: “Should we notify our people to take action?”
Ezequiel gave him a look.
Gilbert understood his meaning and sent a command using his phone.
Desmond finished his fight with a few thugs and, upon learning Guadalupe’s whereabouts, immediately led his men to chase after him.
The little thug who was knocked down on the ground also got up and ran
away
The conference room became quiet.
“Ouch. my waist! What kind of person is this? Has the law disappeared? Can’t we have a proper conversation?” Jackson supported his waist and grumbled.
Someone immediately went to help him, while someone else pulled out a chair for him.
He also sat down naturally.
He seemed to be the boss here, as he moved with ease and confidence.
Ezequiel was neither angry nor speaking.
He inserted his hand into his pocket, looking down on him with great interest, laughing frequently.
Jackson sat on the needle felt, as if he had been skinned alive.
He stood up hesitantly and said, “President, please sit, you sit first.”
“Jackson has such a good reputation, I think this branch should either not

belong to Hodge.” Ezequiel said casually, and finally, he forcefully tapped the desktop with his finger. “Let it be yours!”
That moment felt like a nail being hammered into Jackson’s heart.
My legs became weak.
Ezequiel pulled a chair and sat down slowly. “Where is Guadalupe? Where did you instruct James to take her?”
He asked directly and straightforwardly.
Jackson’s legs were still trembling. Hearing him ask like this, he took a deep breath, with a stem face, and answered firmly, “Sir, this matter has nothing to do with me. You can’t just falsely accuse others!”
