Release That Succubus

Chapter 408 408 Blame

He was coming for them and they should have been afraid. They should have been very afraid because he wasn't going to stop until he knew that they were completely defeated.

…

Zach made his way out of his office as he finds Bruce standing there with his hands crossed over his chest. He looks towards him with a raised eyebrow and his curiously peaked.

"So have you decided on what you are going to do." He asked him and Zach nodded his head at him in response.

"We are going to have to go and see Andy," her announced to him. Bruce didn't have time to react as Zach grabbed him by the arm and pulled him out of the door.

They made their way towards the precinct before stepping inside. they made their way towards Andy's office before stepping inside.

"What is the meaning of this? Why are you here Zach." Andy said to him through gritted teeth.

"My problem is that you aren't doing your job right." Zach said to him in a hissing tone.

Andy furrowed his brows not truly understanding what he meant. "what do you mean by I am not doing my job." He said to him in protest.

Zach chuckled and he pulled out the fabric of the sugar sack made by the rival company and slammed it into the table. "So why are you allowing other sugar sources to flood the market?" He hissed.

He watched as Andy tensed up at his words as he gulped before swallowing deeply.

He adjusted the tie that was wrapped around his neck ass he adjusted his clothes. "I don't know what this means." He said to him carefully.

Zach shook his head at him as he let out a tsk before shaking his head. "This means that you aren't doing your job ats the commissioner of police. So tell me how is it that you allowed for other traders to come into the market and trade our goods. Especially in such an unethical manner. So how about you tell me what you are doing in order to put a stop to them." Zach said to him loudly.

Andy took the piece of fabric into his hand as he ran his hand over it. He sucked in a deep breath after a moment as he cleared his throat before speaking up. "I didn't know anything about it I swear. You know that I wouldn't have allowed something like this to happen." He said to him in a panicked tone.

"Yes well what are you going to do about it. You know what this means for the smiths. It is going to cause their business to crumble and you and I both know that is the last thing that we want isn't it." Zach asked him with a raised eyebrow. 

He watched as sandy gulped before adjusting himself in his seat as a single bead of sweat ran down his face.

"No we can't have that. My promotion depends on that,." He said to him frantically.

Zach couldn't help but smirk as he enjoyed the reaction that he was able to get out of him. He knew that Andy had a right for him to worry.

Andy was one of the key investors for the Smiths and so if anything were to happen to their business it would affect him as well and that was the last thing that he needed.

If the Smith's continued to build and grow their business it would mean that he would also have a chance at getting a promotion.

But if they are unable to succeed or it others were to take over them then it would mean that his credibility would also be called into question and there are also going to be those that will look towards him with distrust.

His credibility as well as his position was riding on this and he wasn't going to allow himself to crumble because of this.

"We can't allow this to happen." He said to Zach suddenly.

Zach chuckled as he took a step towards him. Without warning he pressed his finger against his chest with a twinkle in his eye and a smirk on his face.

"Actually you are the one that can't allow this to happen. This is all on you. You are the one who is in charge here and you are the one who is failing to do their job. If you had done what was right we wouldn't be in this situation and I wouldn't have to have come here to call you out. You really are starting to show your incompetence. How do you think others will feel if they are to find out about this/". He asked him.

He watched as Andy's cheeks became hearted as he ran a hand over his face. Andy couldn't help but feel slightly embarrassed by Zach's words.

He knew that Zach was right and that he shouldn't have been so relaced but hearing Zach say it out loud made it all that clearer to him.

Andy knew however that this was out of his control. Because in truth it wasn't he who had made the decision but it was the superiors who had come to the conclusion on their own.

He looked around the room knowing that there were windows that were positioned on the adjacent wall.

He had to be careful what he said and how he behaved knowing that there were people watching him constantly.

His gaze flickered towards Bruce as he knew for as fact that he wasn't able to trust him either. 

He stood up from his chair and walked over towards Zach. He grabbed him by the arm and pulled him towards one of the corners of the room.

Zach couldn't help but furrow his brows at him as he found himself struggling to understand his sudden change of behavior. "what is the meaning of this?" Zach asked him in a demanding tone.

He watched as hew raised up is finger and he pressed it up against his lips as though in a sign for him to keep quiet.

"they have ears everywhere and we can't speak openly because they will hear us." he said to him.

Zach sighed as he looked towards him with a raised eyebrow one last time before shrugging his shoulders.

He decided that he would try and entertain him for a moment.

"so tell me what is going on. When are you planning to take action against the other corporations and find a way to take them down once and for all." He said to him and he watched as he slouched his shoulders slightly before running a hand over his face.

"that is what I am trying to say to you. There is nothing that I can do about it. My hands are tied in this matter." He said to him in an honest tone.

Zach gritted his teeth at his words as he sent him a deep glare. That wasn't the words that he had wanted to hear.

"And what is the reason for you not being able to do anything about it." Zach asked him.

He watched as Andy gulped as he looked around fleetingly before leaning in and whispering to him. "it is because they are watching us. It isn't my fault that this is happening. This was an order that came from my superiors and they are the ones who made this decision. Io had nothing to do with it as my hands were completely tied." He said. To Zach and he couldn't help but still l at his words.

"What do you mean by this was a decision that was made by your superiors." He said to him in a cold tone.

"This was a tactical decision that they had made on their own. I hadn't been part od the decision making. You know that I would never try to go against the Smith family. But this is an order that had come from above and you know that I don't have what it takes to interfere with such matters. My hands are tied and I don't have a single day on it." Andy explained to him.

Zach let out a sigh form his lips as he nodded his head at him. In a sense that Andy had to have his form of loyalty. However him knowing now that the order wasn't from him and that it was coming from above changed a lot for him. It brought him closer to putting his plan together.

His once expression of anger and confusion turned into as bright smile.

The change didn't go unnoticed by Andy who took a small step back. "look I know that you are trying your best and of course I am aware of the fact that this isn't your fault either. I know that you are only following your orders given to you." He said to him as he reached out and placed a hand on his shoulder.

He gave it a light squeeze as Andy tensed, "I swear I don't have anything to do with this." He said to him and he only nodded his head at him in agreement.

"I am well aware of that matter and there is nothing for you to worry about. Don't worry about any of it. You should know I am on your side." Zach said to him.

"I didn't come here because I wanted to blame you. I only came here because I wanted to get to the bottom of who was the person that was behind all of this."
