Chapter 121 "Sterling Corporations are being investigated for tax evasion worth over $150million."
Hector's face became pale at the headline on the TV station.
His eyes widened in shock at the news Tax evasion! This was why the bank and loan companies
suddenly demanded him to pay backhis loans in twenty four hours time! “You're completely
incompetent, Mr. Hector.” The bigwig said, displeasure lacing his tone. “I can explain!" Hector said
frantically, but the bigwig cut him short. "It was a pleasure doing business with you Mr. Hector. Sadly,
our deal is off now.” The bigwig announced in a tone of finality before disconnecting the phone call
abruptly. Hector looked at the phone in disbelief. He dialed the bigwig's number the next minute. It rang
only once before it disconnected again. The next time Hector called the number, it didn't go through. He
didn't have to be a genius to realize he'd been blocked. "F*ck!” Hector yelled angrily and scattered
everything on his desk, before slumping back to his chair. His eyes were bloodshot, and veins from
agitation could be seen clearly on his head. He looked to have aged ten years suddenly. Hector's mind
was a mess at the moment. His company was already facing a huge decline, so it was normal for him
to try and evade tax; otherwise he wouldn't have been able to keep the company running this long.
Nonetheless, he was aware of how grave a crime tax evasion was in S country. As such, he made sure
that the records of the tax evasion were hidden away in his personal safe. He had ensured that the
entire process was flawless, so how did anyone discover that he had evaded tax? Moreover, the TV
station that broadcasted his tax evasion case was the same one he used to tarnish the reputation of
West Atlantics Int'l. The culprit was basically telling him ‘anything you can do, I can do better.' Wasn't
this the same as slapping him in the face? There was no use calling the bigwig to help him out now. He
now saw him as completely incompetent and useless, and therefore discarded him already. There was
nothing he could do to gain his attention, much less ask for help. In the end, both West Atlantics Int'l
and the bigwig didn't lose anything from this episode. He was the sore loser in the end. While he was
contemplating about the drastic turn of events, his phone rang. He checked the caller ID quickly
thinking that it was the bigwig who had a change of mind, but when he saw it was an unknown number;
a wave of disappointment came over him. Nevertheless, he accepted the phone call. "Hello?" Hector
asked uncertainly. “Mr. Hector.” A voice replied. Hector tensed up the moment he heard the voice.
Although the voice sounded like it belonged to a very young person, there was an undertone of
dominance and authority laced in it. It subconsciously made Hector tense up. “Who are you?" Hector
asked warily. “I'm Darius Reid, the chairman of West Atlantics Int'l.” Darius answered calmly. Hector's
eyes widened at the revelation. The last thing he expected was for the chairman of West Atlantics Int'l,
the company he attacked to call him. One could imagine the turmoil of emotions he was feeling at the
moment. “Mr. Reid." Hector said in a surprised tone. “I'm sure you have seen the news by now, Mr.
Hector.” Darius interjected abruptly. Hector subconsciously glanced at the TV station and sighed.
Reporters were already finding their way to his company, and so were several news outlets. The police
were most probably on their way to his company too. Millions of citizens in S country had already heard
about Sterling Corporation's tax evasion case by this point. In comparison to the nonsense he spread
about the chairman of West Atlantics Int'l, this was a far severe blow. He'd be finished by the time the
police finished their investigations and found him guilty. Although Hector was slightly incompetent, he
wasn't a fool. The fact that Darius called him even after gaining the upper hand meant that Darius still
had a need for him. “What do you want?" Hector asked in an unyielding tone. Since he had already lost
everything at this point, there was no need for him to be so reserved anymore. “Who's behind you?”
Darius asked straightforwardly. Hector expected the question. After all, anyone would find out after a bit
of investigation that Sterling Corporations did not have the influence to move BNC news station to
report negatively on them. There had to be a more influential and powerful person behind them. “What
will I gain from this?" Hector enquired. There was no way he wouldn't take advantage of this chance
now that it had come to this. Using this as leverage, he could talk to Darius and work out a
compromise. Nevertheless, his hopes were dashed by Darius' subsequent words. "I don't think you
understand your situation now, Mr. Hector.” Darius started. "I'm not here to negotiate with you. I'm here
to demand answers from you. Do you think I can't find out myself if I don't get the answers from you?"
Darius asked coldly. Hector gritted his teeth in anger, but there was no denying the truth in his words.
After all, he had indeed managed to discover his tax evasion crime, and bring it to light. If he truly
wanted to find the company behind him, he would surely be able to do so. Yet, Hector was unwilling to
disclose the identity of the bigwig to Darius so easily; as once he did, he would lose the only initiative
he held against Darius. While Hector was contemplating whether to disclose the identity or not, Darius'
voice sounded again. "Tax evasion is a bold crime for one to commit in S country. I have already
submitted most of the records and evidence to the police, but I kept some with me. If you tell me the
company behind you, I will not disclose the last documents to the police." "That way, you will only
spend five to ten years in prison, and I will destroy the documents; but if you refuse to cooperate, then
be ready to spend the rest of your years behind bars.” "Don't blame me for being inconsiderate then.
The choice is yours.” Darius concluded coldly. Darius' words hit Hector like a train wreck. Even though
his heart was reeling with shock on how Darius managed to discover the documents and evidence of
his tax evasion, his mind was quickly weighing the pros and cons of each decision. “How am I sure that
you're not lying to me?" Hector asked unconvinced. “I have no reason to lie to you.” Darius replied
calmly. After thinking hard for five minutes, Hector let out a defeated sigh. The choice he had to make
was already clear. He was no match for Darius Reid and West Atlantics Int'l. Besides, the bigwig had
already abandoned him. What was he hesitating for? “Alright. I'll tell you." Hector said in a defeated
tone. "The person behind me is the head of the third largest business group in Capital City, The Gold
Group."
