Ryker stepped forward slowly, standing with a tense posture in front of David and next to Noah. His face was slightly pale from anticipation of the incoming punishment, and his current condition.
“Ryker,” Noah called out and paused.
“You’re being given a second chance. You have done things to the other party that can’t be just ignored, so you will need to make amends.”
“You will accept any reasonable punishment they decide without complaining. Am I clear?”
Ryker nodded again, “Yes, Boss.”
“He is giving us the green light, albeit we can’t take it too far. He is …” Thought David, as his expression softened upon looking at Ryker’s injuries.
Stitches marked Ryker’s face, his arm was immobilized in a sling. Noah had clearly done some significant damage to him.
David exchanged a look with his sons.
Shaking his head slightly, he said. “We’re one team now,” he said quietly.
“The past is the past. let bygones be bygones.”
“Besides, it looks like you’ve already taken your fair share of punishment.” He added, with a small smile.
Noah glanced at Ryker with an amused look.
“Seems like they’ve decided to show you mercy Ryker, that’s what you call a true team.”
Ryker turned towards Jackson, David, and Jack.
“Thank you,” he said quietly, nodding to each of them. “I apologize… for everything I did before. We are now one team, one body.”
David nodded his head in acknowledgement.
“Let’s put it all behind us,” He said with a calm expression on his face.
“Alright, now that we’re clear on that,” Noah said with a grin, “We’ve got work to do. We’re in this together now.”
After filling David and his family with the gold situation along with everything else, Noah decided to split the workload.
He decided that the gold bars would be split evenly between both teams.
After everything was settled, Noah left the house and headed out.
“Ring!”
Noah’s phone rang as he drove, glancing at the caller ID.
John.
“Hello,” Noah said, as his eyes focused on the street ahead.
“Hello, boss. The renovation of the teahouse has been done, and the store is ready for any further customisation you want.”
“Alright, I will go for an inspection right now,” Noah replied, hanging up the phone.
…
Arriving at the location, Noah parked his car on the curb and looked at the shop.
The logo Snow Moon Teahouse was shining at the top of the shop, giving the shop an elegant, modern but serene look.
“John really put the best team for this,” Noah thought, glancing at the interior of the shop that screamed of luxury and peace.
The open layout was brilliant, everyone walking by could glimpse into the interior from the street, tempting them with glimpses of its peaceful luxury.
“The smell of the tea would also help out massively with the marketing for this,” Noah, thought as he nodded in satisfaction at the design.
He rang up John and told him the team had done a good job.
“Give them a bonus,” Noah continued, “Also take the costs of everything related to this teahouse from my monthly share.”
“Yes, boss,” John replied, with an excited tone.
After Noah hung up the phone, John sighed in relief.
“I finally made him satisfied with the work,” John muttered silently, as he proceeded to do what Noah had instructed.
Looking at the time, Noah realised that he could pick up Emily.
He quickly called his parents and told them he would pick her up.
After parking the lambo, he walked to Emily’s school and dropped her off at home.
After chilling with his parents for a while, Lily texted him.
“Hello, my dad wants to invite you for dinner today. Are you available?”
“Sure, what time,” Noah responded.
“5:30 pm?”
“Sure, I will be there.”
“It’s in an hour and a half, the drive is about an hour away when there is no traffic. I have thirty minutes to spare.” Noah thought.
He still decided to leave now, because it was around school time. There will be lots of traffic, so it should take him around an hour and a half to get there. Give or take.
Arriving at the gates, the guards let him in after identifying him since Arthur had already told them.
As he drove inside the complex, he went past Amelia’s house.
After parking inside at the entrance of the mansion, Noah stepped out.
Lily was already waiting for him near the door, with a smile on her face.
“Good afternoon.”
“Good afternoon, thanks for the invitation,” Noah replied with a smile.
He followed her inside to the living room, where Arthur was waiting for him.
After greeting each other, Noah sat down at the dinner table that was filled with all kinds of delicacies.
After finishing dinner, Arthur opened up the business topic with Noah.
“I have checked the pill as I told you before, after lots of research on its side effects and whatnot. The conclusion was… There is none.”
“Another surprising conclusion was that the pill could not be replicated. The scientists did not understand how the pill was chemically bonded, there are many elements that they don’t know of.”
“Your pill is truly miraculous, you are an absolute genius. Thus, after some careful consideration, I decided to up the stakes.”
“I’m willing to invest $20,000,000 for the same equity as before, 5% only. I will also handle the marketing procedures and I will not intervene in the future of the company’s direction. I will only give some advice at most, but the decision will always go back to you.”
“What do you think about my offer?” Arthur said, with a smile plastered on his face.
Lily next to her father was shocked by his offer.
“$20,000,000 for 5% of a company? that’s 4 million for just 1%. This company hasn’t even been opened officially.”
“I can understand why he thinks so highly of the product, but is it really worth the risk? Especially with Noah directing the company.”
Noah looked at Arthur for a second.
“I-”
