Chapter 877: Fleeing In Panic
In fact, this security captain didn’t take Flynn seriously at all.
Richard Morris had promoted him all the way, and Flynn was currently just a commander without any authority in the Stardust Corporation. No one obeyed his orders. In everyone’s eyes, Flynn’s words were far less effective than Richard’s.
Even if Flynn fired him from the company, the dismissal notice had to be issued through the HR department, and Flynn couldn’t order anyone from the HR department. Thus, his orders were just empty words that nobody took seriously.
“I’m the general manager of the company, so I naturally have the right to dismiss you! Now that you’ve already been fired, you can leave!” Flynn ordered coldly.
Immediately afterward, he walked to Lucas and Jordan’s side and said, “You two, come with me!
He had too many things to tell Lucas, but there were too many people in the hall. Flynn wanted to bring them to his office and then report to Lucas about the current situation in the corporation.
“Hold it!”
Just as Flynn brought Lucas and Jordan to the employee elevator, the security captain, who had just been dismissed by Flynn, blocked Flynn’s way.
“What are you trying to do? How dare you block my way?” Flynn was furious.
During his time at the headquarters of the Stardust Corporation, he had been ignored and targeted by the various executives. Now, even a mere security captain didn’t take him seriously and blocked him.
Moreover, it was in front of Lucas.
“Flynn Davis, we all know what you’re like as the general manager, so you don’t have to put on airs in front of us. None of us care!
“Like I’ve said, we’re all under Mr. Morris. Unless Mr. Morris says so himself, your orders don’t mean anything!”
“Besides, these two punks that you want to bring away injured Mr. Morris’s nephew. We can’t just ignore it. They must pay the price for their actions, so I can’t let you take these two away!
“Like I just said, these two punks must be beaten up and crippled here!”
The security captain spoke extremely firmly.
He instructed the security guards behind him, “Why are you still standing there? Do it now!”
Flynn was so angry that he was at a loss for words. He was the general manager in name, but he didn’t actually have the power to order anyone around in the corporation. Even the captain of the security team didn’t obey him and was about to take Lucas and Jordan away without showing him any respect at all.
But he was too weak to do anything to this security captain!
It made him feel extremely frustrated!
Seeing the scene in front of him, Lucas didn’t find Flynn incompetent. Instead, he experienced the difficulties Flynn faced in the headquarters of the Stardust Corporation for the first time.
No one took him seriously because the Huttons were in control of everything here. Flynn was just an outsider who gained his position without any effort. He naturally became an eyesore to them.
Flynn was just a general manager without any subordinates he could instruct. Under the influence of the Huttons, the employees of the company didn’t dare to obey Flynn.
It wasn’t an issue with Flynn’s competence. Instead, the power gap between the two sides was too much.
But this situation had been going on for a long time, and Flynn had only arrived in DC slightly more than a month ago. It was indeed difficult to break open the situation.
The Stardust Corporation had been under the control of the Huttons for the last two decades until about half a year ago. The day Lucas returned to Orange County from the Falcon Regiment, the Huttons had sent the butler Chad to return the Stardust Corporation to him.
Although Lucas had regained ownership of the company, the Huttons had always been controlling the mid and upper-level positions. Even though the chairman had changed to someone else, the Stardust Corporation still belonged to the Huttons in the eyes of the executives, so these people still obeyed the Huttons.
They didn’t even respect Lucas, the chairman of the Stardust Corporation who actually owned the company. How could they possibly be afraid of the general manager Lucas had sent?
Seeing how angry and frustrated Flynn was, Lucas sympathized with him.
“Get lost! Don’t blame me for being impolite if you dare to continue blocking them!”
Suddenly, a phantom-like figure appeared next to Flynn and stared at the security guards with a pair of sinister eyes.
He was holding a silvery dagger and twirling it between his fingers.
Upon seeing this person, the security captain immediately had a drastic change in expression, and the other security guards, who were about to charge at Lucas and Jordan, immediately stopped in their tracks with looks of horror on their faces.
They were all familiar with the middle-aged man who appeared. He was Stanley, Flynn’s bodyguard.
When Flynn first arrived at the Stardust Corporation headquarters, the senior executives of the company were extremely displeased with this general manager who had suddenly appeared. They had planned to teach him a lesson, and it was best to make him vanish from DC.
After all, the new general manager was appointed by the new chairman of the board.
Moreover, the executives of the Stardust Corporation all knew that the former chairman, Jace Hutton, who was also the Hutton family heir, hated the new chairman.
Thus, they wanted to make Flynn vanish from DC quietly to give the new chairman, whom they had never seen before, a lesson. They wanted him to know his limits and not reach his hands out to the Stardust Corporation.
But when they thought that it would be a piece of cake to kill Flynn, they suddenly discovered that Flynn had a cold-faced expert bodyguard following by his side.
Without saying a word, Stanley had severed the limbs of the hitmen they had sent to assassinate Flynn. He even threw them into the homes of the senior executives, almost scaring them to death.
Since then, although the senior executives still disliked Flynn and got into many conflicts with him, no one dared to try and kill Flynn anymore.
The company’s security guards had also heard about these matters. So under normal circumstances, they didn’t dare to offend Flynn.
The moment they saw Stanley appearing, they quickly moved away like mice seeing a cat, for fear that Stanley would sever their limbs too.
When Flynn saw Stanley, he immediately beamed with joy. “Stanley, tell them to get out immediately! I’ve already fired them!”
The dagger Stanley was holding seemed to be a part of his hand as it moved fancily with ease. He looked at the security guards coldly. “Didn’t you hear what the general manager said? Or are you deaf and need me to cure you with the dagger in my hand?”
The security captain and the security guards instantly felt a cold pain in their ears. He hurriedly said, “D-don’t! We’ll leave right away!”
The security captain was no longer as arrogant as he was earlier. He immediately ran away, fleeing like a dog that lost its home.
The security guards behind him were stunned, and they immediately scrambled out of the lobby.
This scene made all the job seekers in the lobby on the first floor dumbstruck!
