When the mayor’s wife heard what her father said, she froze on the spot.
“Father, what are you talking about?” the mayor’s wife asked in confusion.
Now that everything had gone beyond her imagination, she wanted to know what had happened.
On the other end of the phone, her father roared angrily, “You still have the nerve to call me father? I don’t have a daughter like you!”
“Do you know how much trouble you’re in now? Open your phone and take a look! Take a look at how far our stock market has dropped. All of this happened in just ten minutes. If this continues, our family will soon go bankrupt. When that happens, our entire family will have to beg on the streets!”
“I don’t care what you think, apologize to the person you offended immediately. You must beg for his forgiveness, or else you will never step foot in my house again!”
After Soros finished speaking, he hung up the phone. The mayor’s wife was completely shocked!
Others did not know how much money her family had, but she knew.
Her family’s business was large-scale, represented in many industries. Even some countries didn’t have as much money as her family. But even so, her family had successfully been brought to its knees, and it made her father so furious.
She had not expected any of this. She had never thought her father would be so angry.
Since she was young, her father had been calm and collected, in control, but he had never been as angry as he was today.
She didn’t know what had happened.
What the mayor’s wife didn’t know was that before Soros called his daughter, he had called an official in Washington. He was also Soros’ backer, but this backer didn’t say much after receiving the call, he only told Soros to apologize quickly. This person wasn’t someone they could afford to offend, and Soros’ life might even be in danger!
Hearing this, Soros was stunned. He did not expect to offend such a big shot. His backer even said that he did not dare to reveal any information about this person, and he did not even have the right to meet him!
Therefore, after this phone call, Soros immediately decided that he had to protect his family’s lives first. After all, no matter how much money he had, right now, his family’s safety was the most important thing.

In the school, after the mayor’s wife realized what had happened, she began to react.
For the sake of her own safety and the safety of her family, she immediately rushed in front of Borg and dropped to her knees.
“Sir, sir, I’m sorry! Everything is my son’s fault. I hope you won’t lower yourself to our level!”
The mayor and the police officers were stunned by the mayor’s wife’s actions.
Especially the mayor. He didn’t know what had happened to make his wife change her attitude so quickly. With the power of Moshi Petroleum, even if she had offended the President, she wouldn’t need to apologize like this.
Eric was also shocked. His father was the commander of the North American Theater of Operations!
However, when his father knew they were dealing with Soros, he ordered his son to apologize. This showed how powerful Soros was. But now his daughter was kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy! Borg was clearly more powerful than he had expected.
Borg was definitely a big shot! There was no denying it.
He obviously had a much bigger background than his family!
Eric wondered just who Borg was. This man was clearly incredibly powerful, had great influence in high places.
After seeing the mayor’s wife kneel down and beg for mercy, Borg didn’t say anything at first. He just turned around and headed to the door.
Before he left, he said, “In the future, don’t let me see you again!”
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Borg didn’t want to kill people here. After leaving the world of assassins, he had learned to solve problems by killing fewer people.
Not only could killing not solve problems, but sometimes it would bring more trouble. If he could kill less, he should kill less. Besides, if he killed people here, his daughter, Judith, would definitely find out about his past, so it was better to kill fewer people.
The mayor’s wife had already apologized. There was no need to hold on to this grudge.
Hearing Borg’s words, not only was the mayor’s wife not angry, but she also kowtowed in gratitude. This meant that Borg had let her family off. There was no better news than this, so she kowtowed a few times.
After Borg left the classroom, Eric hurried to follow him.
Borg felt that Eric was a good person. He didn’t abandon him in that kind of situation. Instead, he was thinking of him. He even ordered the police to let him go.
Not to mention that his daughter was friends with Judith. Most people would have thought of running away if they were in a similar situation. But he didn’t do that, therefore, Borg approved of this friend.
“Brother, you have such great abilities. I was worried for nothing!” Eric shouted as soon as he left the classroom.
Borg didn’t say anything when he heard this. He just smiled slightly.
However, Eric kept talking in his ear, which made him a little impatient, so he said, “Stop! Today’s matter ends here. I don’t want anyone else to know except you and me. Do you understand?”
Hearing Borg’s words, Eric nodded.
No matter what, he wouldn’t interfere too much, especially if Borg didn’t want him to. Since Borg wanted to hide his strength, Eric would continue to hide it. He wouldn’t and didn’t dare to say anything. But Borg definitely had great power behind him… Eric had underestimated him.
“Alright, let’s go to the restaurant. After all that craziness, I’m hungry!” Borg said.
Eric forgot he had to treat Borg to lunch today…
When Eric heard about the meal, his shoulders slumped. He didn’t like spending money. He was frugal with his finances! Was there a way to get out of paying? But before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Borg.
“What, you don’t want to?” Borg said, raising an eyebrow.
“Do you want me to tell your daughter that you’re going back on your promise?”
“I wonder how Linda will react when she finds out that her father is such a person?”
Hearing this, Eric panicked. He didn’t have much status at home. If Borg were to tell others that he went back on his promises, he would be even more miserable. He had no choice but to agree to Borg’s words. “Alright, my treat, my treat!”
“That’s better! Now let’s go and get something to eat. I’ve worked up an appetite!”
