The Pinnacle Of Life

As Gaston began to recognize the old man standing behind, his facial expression took a drastic change.

The old man was the chief of Thousand Miles Conglomerate, and the alpha of the underground world, Lord Lex—Lex Gunther!

He did not have the guts to berate Lord Lex. After all, he still valued his life.

Gaston stood frozen for a moment, as he gathered his thoughts, he immediately smiled and apologized, “Lord Lex, I’m so, so, so sorry, I didn’t know it was you! Please be the bigger man that I know you to be. Please forgive me for what I just said. I know you’re a large-hearted man. Oh, I’m Gaston, you sent someone to call for me? Is the purpose of this meeting to assign additional tasks to me? Perhaps to promote me to be a manager? I promise I will perform to the best of my abilities.”

Lord Lex’s face sank a little. His eyes were gloomy and cold.

He said in a monotone voice, “Let’s talk about it in the meeting room.”

When Gaston saw that Lord Lex had not lashed out at him, he felt a great sense of joy. Lord Lex could not hide his anger. He was fuming and everyone could see it on his face. Gaston guessed it had something to do with Alex who was standing next to Lord Lex.

Gaston thought to himself, ‘It’s over for this fool!’

Lord Lex spoke to one of the personnel standing at the door, “Please show him to the meeting room.”

The man was startled but he still nodded respectfully in agreement.
