Chapter 585 - The Herons Are Doomed
The moment they saw the pistol, the two beautiful women in Kairo's arms immediately screamed and rolled toward the corner of the room.
Kairo was also so frightened that his heart started beating wildly. But he tried his best to suppress his fear and pretend to be calm. "Who exactly are you people? The rules are that you should report your name to me first!"
His heart was filled with maniacal rage. This was his territory, and the people outside should be his subordinates. Why did they let this man barge into his room and point a gun at his head?
Once I survive this, I'll skin all of those idiots!
"You don't need to know who we are. You just need to know that this is the outcome you deserve for offending Mr. Gray!" the middle-aged man said coldly, then he moved his fingers and pressed the trigger.
Bang! With a single gunshot, a bloody hole appeared between Kairo's eyebrow, and crimson blood instantly gushed out of it.
"You—!" Kairo didn't even have time to say his last words before he fell backward and onto the ground.
In the last moment of his life, his eyes were full of bewilderment and shock, as he simply couldn't understand when he had ever offended someone and invited such life-ending trouble.
At the same time, a commotion caused by a bunch of panicking people came in from outside the room.
A short while later, all of Kairo's men were arrested by the Parkers.
Those who had committed lots of evil and killed numerous people had all been gotten rid of. The rest of the subordinates and underground businesses under Kairo's control had been taken over by the Parkers.
The entire process probably took only around three hours.
The arrogant and obnoxious Kairo still couldn't figure out the difference between the Parkers and him.
In the Heron residence in LA…
Although it was almost midnight, Nikki had yet to fall asleep.
Reason being, Justin had already agreed with Kairo's subordinates to take action tonight and murder William. So Nikki was now waiting in her room and anxiously waiting for the news.
Whoosh!
At this moment, her window was suddenly pulled open from the outside, and a tall figure dashed in like a phantom and leaped at Nikki.
"Ah!" Nikki was frightened and screamed tersely. Before she could dodge, the person covered her mouth, rendering her unable to speak.
"Ooo…!" Her eyes widened in horror, and she struggled with all her might. But soon, she was smacked on the neck by a hand. Nikki's eyes rolled backward, and she passed out immediately.
When Justin heard the commotion, he realized that something was wrong and charged into Nikki's room, only to discover that Nikki was nowhere in sight. The room was empty, and the only movement came from the curtains fluttering next to the open window.
"Nikki! Nikki! Where are you?!" Justin rushed to the window and yelled loudly. But Nikki had long been taken away, so how could she answer him?
Justin's heart immediately sank.
Although his relationship with Gretchen was extremely strained, he cared a lot for Nikki, his only daughter.
Now, after he heard his daughter's shriek and discovered that she had completely vanished, the nervous panic in his heart was imaginable.
Gretchen had also heard the commotion and immediately ran up from downstairs. She asked anxiously, "What's wrong? What happened? Did something happen to Nikki?"
She also ran into Nikki's room. When she saw that the room was empty, she immediately realized that something had happened and yelled at Justin like a madman. "Where's Nikki? Where is she now? What exactly happened? Tell me quickly!"
Justin impatiently pushed her away and scolded, "Shut up! Shut up!"
He was more worried about his daughter than anyone else, but what was the point of kicking up a fuss like a shrew?
He glowered at Gretchen and took out his phone to call Robert.
"Dad, Nikki has just been abducted from home. Send someone to find out immediately who the person who did it was!" he said anxiously.
At this critical moment, only Robert's resources and wide network of connections could allow him to find Nikki.
When Robert heard the call, he flew into a rage and hollered in exasperation, "What did you say? Nikki has been abducted when she was at home? This is outrageous! Did you guys offend some big shot outside that you can't afford to mess with?"
Justin hurriedly denied, "Dad, we really didn't offend anyone! Dad, please find someone to help me think of a solution! Nikki is my only daughter and your only granddaughter! If we don't find her soon, things will only get worse!"
Robert was furious, but he couldn't leave his only granddaughter unattended. After hanging up, he immediately gathered all his subordinates and planned to find some friends with good resources to help him find Nikki.
But at this moment, his phone suddenly rang again.
The abrupt ringing of the phone was especially ear-piercing in the middle of the night.
For some reason, Robert's right eyelid suddenly twitched twice, as if he had an extremely bad premonition.
Sure enough, when he answered the call, panicked yelling immediately came from the other end. "Mr. Heron, it's not good! Something has happened to the Heron Corp!"
Robert's heart tensed up, and he shouted anxiously, "What the hell happened?! Hurry up and give me the key points!"
"Yes! The bank just called and said that our company's debt risk rating is too high, so they want to immediately withdraw all the previous loans. They also demanded that we pay them back by tomorrow! It's a total of more than forty million dollars in loans. How can we possibly get this much cash at the moment?
"Also, the company's business department managers suddenly received several emergency calls from our former partners claiming that there are problems with the quality of our products. They even asked us to compensate according to the contract amount!
"In addition, the deputy director of our finance department suddenly turned himself in and claimed that we forced him to fabricate accounts to evade taxes! Now, people from the IRS have barged into the Heron Corp's finance department to seize all our accounts!"
The general manager of the Heron Corp. immediately reported all these things to Robert.
Any one of these pieces of terrible news was enough to shake the company greatly or even cause it to go bankrupt.
But now, such devastating news actually hit them one after another!
Robert felt his head buzzing, and he plunged straight to the ground.
"Chairman!"
"Mr. Heron!"
All of a sudden, everyone shouted, and the Herons fell into chaos.
