The Supreme Man: Took Everything in Power novel Chapter 419

Thud. Thud. Thud. Jay strode toward Eric as his leather shoes hit the floor.

Each step was like a peal of thunder rumbling in Eric's ears, making him faint and causing him to almost lose his balance as he scrambled away in order to distance himself from Jay.

"I… I didn't do anything to you…" Eric hastily tried to worm his way out of this. "I was only talking about Nicholson. So, why do you, the young master of the Carter Family, want to stand on that thug's side?"

"Thug?" Jay narrowed his eyes and questioned sharply.

"Even Vice President Robinson of the Coliree Group also treats Mr. Nicholson with the utmost respect! You are undoubtedly as bold as brass to act so presumptuously in front of him!"

Eric was stunned speechless, and so were the guests in attendance.

The whole hall fell into dead silence following Jay's powerful comment.

People's mouths were agape with incredulity.

The silence in the banquet hall felt like a black hole, and Eric felt as though the oxygen around him was all sucked away.

Plop!

He could no longer hold on as he fell to the ground in a fearful heap under the silent oppressive atmosphere.

Everyone else instantly came to their senses following the muffled sound of his fall and looked at Kingsley in bafflement with their jaws agape in astonishment.

"D-Did I hear that clearly? Mr. Carter said… That the vice president of the Coliree Group also treated Nicholson… With the utmost respect."

"I heard that too… For someone of Mr. Carter's status, I'm sure he wouldn't be lying…"

"Hoo… Then, who exactly is Mr. Nicholson?"

Those who mocked Kingsley as some small business owner had all turned pale with fright.

They knew the power the Coliree Group held as they alone could shake the economy of the Solaris Province with a twitch of a finger.

Even Heston and Will, who were watching by the side, were so shocked that their heart pounded against their chest.

As for Zeke, he had long been paralyzed by fear sitting on the floor. His face was ashen, and his eyes were dilated. He was seemingly on the verge of hysteria.

Arnold looked like he swallowed a fly as his breathing labored. "Mr. Carter, w-what would it take for you to let him off the hook then?"

"He dared to disrespect Mr. Nicholson. What do you think I would do?" Jay replied coldly.

"He can either kneel and beg for mercy 100 times or die in apology!"

Eric's face went stark white upon hearing that.

He no longer had the arrogance he held just now as he lay on the ground like a frightened dog with a terror-stricken expression.

Finally, he shrieked, "Dad! Save me! L-Let's just stop working with the Coliree Group altogether?!"
