Chapter 1025: Daiki’s Filthy Ultimatum
I walked casually over to the side table near the floor-to-ceiling glass wall, poured a glass of ice-cold water from the crystal pitcher, and returned to the desk. With a perfectly polite smile, I placed the glass directly in front of Daiki.
Just as his thick, greedy fingers reached out to grab it, I smoothly slid the glass across the polished mahogany desk toward Tomiko.
Tomiko picked it up without hesitation, took a slow, elegant sip, and set it down calmly, as if nothing unusual had happened.
Daiki’s face instantly turned a deep, ugly shade of red. His eyes bulged with fury as he watched Tomiko drink the water he thought was meant for him. He slammed his palm hard on the desk, the sound echoing sharply through the office.
"What’s the meaning of this, Tomiko?!" he yelled, his voice rising into a near-shout. "Are you mocking me? Do you think this little game is funny?! I come here to discuss serious business, and you treat me like some servant?!"
I looked at him coldly, my expression unchanging. In a low, dangerous voice that carried through the room, I said, "Just shut up, you pig."
SLAP!
My hand moved like lightning. The sharp, resounding crack of the slap filled the entire office. The force of the blow sent Daiki and his heavy chair toppling backward.
He crashed to the floor with a loud thud, his body sprawling awkwardly. His cheek immediately began to swell, turning an angry red-purple, making his already bloated face look even more like a grotesque pig.
Daiki groaned loudly in pain, clutching his swollen cheek with both hands. "What... what the hell are you doing?!" he roared, his voice cracking with shock and agony.
"You bastard! How dare you raise your hand against me?! Do you have any idea who I am?!"
Tomiko shot up from her chair instantly, her eyes wide with shock. She grabbed my arm tightly, her fingers digging into my sleeve. "Jack... don’t... Please, stop this right now!" Her voice trembled slightly.
I could feel her hand shaking against me. She wasn’t angry at me — she was terrified. In her mind, she was already imagining the worst: Daiki using his vast influence to destroy everything she had built, or worse, coming after me personally. Years of dealing with powerful men like him had taught her how dangerous retaliation could be.
Daiki struggled to push himself up from the floor, still groaning and holding his throbbing face. His eyes burned with pure, venomous rage as he glared at both of us.
"Good... very good," he spat, his voice thick with pain and hatred. "You, aunt, and nephew pair are really something special. You think you can humiliate me like this and get away with it?"
He pointed a shaking finger at Tomiko, his swollen cheek making his words slightly slurred. "Listen to me very carefully, Tomiko. If you are not kneeling in my bed by tonight, begging for my forgiveness and giving me everything I want, I will stop all cooperation with Suzuki Enterprises immediately."
"Every single contract will be terminated by morning. And you should know — if I pull out, no other company in Japan will dare to work with you. Your precious empire will collapse within weeks. Your employees will be out on the street, and you... You will have nothing left."
He then turned his hateful gaze toward me, breathing heavily. "And you... You insolent little shit. I will deal with you personally. You have no idea who you just slapped. By the end of today, you’ll wish you had never been born."
With that, Daiki stormed out of the office, slamming the door so violently that the glass walls rattled and the sound echoed down the hallway.
The moment the door shut, the office fell into heavy silence. Tomiko turned to me, her face pale and filled with anxiety. Her hands were still trembling as she clutched my arm.
"Jack... what should we do now?" she whispered, her voice shaky and uncertain. "He’s not bluffing. He really has the power to ruin everything we’ve built. The contracts, the employees... everything could fall apart in days."
Almost immediately, Hina rushed back into the office, her face ashen and panicked. She was breathing hard. "Boss! Something terrible happened. As Mr. Daiki was leaving, he stopped in the lobby and threatened every single employee."
"He said if anyone dares to stay and not resign immediately, he would make sure they could never work in Japan again. He even mentioned blacklisting their families. Some of them have already started submitting resignation letters on the spot... at least twenty people so far. The whole floor is in chaos."
Hina’s hands were shaking as she clutched her tablet. "They’re terrified, Boss. They don’t know what to do..."
I looked at the unfolding crisis and let out a low, confident chuckle. I turned to Hina with a calm but ruthlessly sharp smile. "Hina, didn’t you want to know how I built Immortal Enterprises so quickly and so big in such a short time?"
"The secret is simple — be more ruthless and merciless than your enemies ever dream of being. He dares to threaten my Oba-san? He has no idea what kind of war he just started."
Tomiko stepped closer to me, her voice urgent and pleading. "Jack... please don’t do anything harsh. Let’s handle this calmly. At most, I can give him more shares or sweeten the deal to calm his anger. I don’t want this to escalate into something dangerous for you... or for the company."
I gently but firmly placed both hands on Tomiko’s shoulders, surprising her. She looked up at me, our faces now only inches apart. A faint blush crept across her cheeks despite the tension.
"Look at me," I said softly but with absolute, unyielding resolve.
Tomiko met my eyes, her breathing slightly uneven.
"Don’t worry," I continued, my voice steady and reassuring. "I promise you — within one hour, Daiki will be the one kneeling in front of you, begging for mercy. Just trust me completely."
Tomiko searched my face for a long moment, her eyes filled with worry, but she finally nodded slowly. "I trust you, Jack... I really do."
Hina interrupted again, her voice still panicked. "But Boss... what about the employees? Many have already started resigning. They’re packing their things right now. If we lose this many people at once, operations could collapse by tomorrow..."
I turned to Hina with a cold, decisive look. "Let them go. Every single one of them. If they can betray and abandon their boss so easily under Daiki’s threat, then they could do the same tomorrow under someone else’s pressure. They might even leak secrets or harm the company later. Let them all resign without any resistance."
