Zach strode over with his hands clasped behind his back. He looked like an overlord about to pronounce judgement on an unruly subject. Xavier could not help feeling giddy when he noticed how tensed up Chris was. Oh! It's about to go down! After all, his brother had come down all the way to meet the culprit. He must have really offended him!

How could someone saying his name sound so bone chilling? Chris gulped and let out a shaky breath as he composed himself before turning around. While his assistant was awestruck by the two men who graced them with their presence, Chris was shaking inside. No, this punk is practically his son's age. He shouldn't be afraid of him. If anything, his plan was flawless and there was no way it led back to him. And he now has something to hold against this man. Yeah, he had no reason to be afraid.

He forced an unnatural chuckle. "Gentlemen! Zach, Xavier, what can I do for you both?"

Zach stopped a few feet away from him. His demeanor unchanging but his eyes turned cold. Xavier was relaxed and shuffled his hands in his pockets. All that's missing was popcorn. Zach's lips curved up but there was no amusement in his countenance.

"Don't you have something to tell me?" He was calm. His calmness left Chris feeling uncomfortable as he shifted his weight on his two feet.

He cleared his throat. "Aren't you busy Mr. Frost? After winning the bid on that land, I would be on my way to get the project up and running but here you are, paying me a visit?"

Zach smirked. "I'm afraid I do not have that much free time on my hands but I still thought to come down here, specially for you."

Chris broke out in cold sweat when he heard the last three words. But based on the mere belief that he had the upper hand, he pushed back his fear. He just felt that Zach was being arogant. This is why he didn't like him.

Not only was Zach able to win and obtain the best business deals, but his unending success made the punk a bit too cocky. He would be doing everyone a favor by taking him down. Especially after winning the bid to a land he had his eyes on. It was especially annoying when he failed to bribe the auctioneers.

"This, you're being too arrogant Zach. You should know the importance of connections in business! Attaining a few successes does not automatically put you on top. Someone might scheme against you and you might have to beg the very same people you looked down on for help. And you know what? Those people won't bat an eye for you. I'm giving you this advice as your senior. Don't be too cocky."

"Bastard", He muttered under his breath as he turned back his attention to the golf ball and swung the club. He held his hand over his forehead and watched the ball swing away into the distant.

His assistant cheered for him. Chris had spilled his dirty little scheme against Zach last night when he was pounding into her. Although the old man had given her a good time, she just wished she was the one he had baited Zach with. But too bad, his end was nearing because of Chris.

,m Zach looked down and scoffed before looking back at Chris. His expression was impassive as he said, "This is the last time you'll see me."

Chris didn't think much to it and only ignored him. Xavier was baffawed by the whole exchange. What was the point of coming all the way here if this was all he would do? A phone call would have been enough. Confused, but he followed his brother to the car. When they started off, he turned to Zach who calmly looked out the window as the view rolled by.

"What was the point of coming here? You didn't even exchange a few fists, so what was that? For someone who is a workaholic, you actually wasted time. Why did we meet him?"

"To leave him with a bigger regret than the ones he'll have."

"..."

"Connections in business are important. If you're too arrogant, people won't help you when you meet your demise", he explained.

Xavier fell quiet as he processed the words. It sounded like he was repeating Parton's words but when he thought about it, it made sense why he said so.

Zach knew Chris would behave arrogantly, and when he later on met his end, he would wish to have begged for mercy right in this moment when Zach presented him with an opportunity. Hence leaving Chris with a bigger regret. But Zach was never going to show him mercy; Xavier knew this. Oh Zach was just too cruel! Too cruel! But what on Earth had Chris done to make him act like this?

"What did he do to you?" Xavier could not help his curiosity.

"You won't believe me when I tell you." He took out his phone and dialed for George, his assistant. "Parton Corporation has run its course. Let's give them a permanent break."
