The Hunter - Chapter 24 The new evil plan

Back to Sunrise Real estate.

“USELESS!!!”

A shout and an astray is flying toward Schoenberg who stand near Jimmy’s table. Fortunately, Schoenberg is quick enough to dodge from incoming astray, if not, his forehead surely will get hit hard. The astray keep flying and hit the wall, causing loud noise before fell in the floor. Jimmy’s secretary, hearing the noise from Jimmy’s office, open the office door to see what happen. But she immediately closes the door after seeing Jimmy’s scary face. She doesn’t want to become Jimmy’s other target to vent his anger. This habit of throwing things when angry seems inherited from his father.

“I don’t know why father thought so highly about you, Schoenberg if you can’t get the land certificate from a rundown orphanage. Are you really good or just a waste, really?”

“Young master, I already did what I could do…”

“NOT GOOD ENOUGH!! You did nothing but sit on the office all day”

Schoenberg rebuttal is irking Jimmy. It’s been a couple of months since he gives Schoenberg order to get the orphanage’s land certificate. But the certificate he wants isn’t ever arrived at his desk until now.

“If you really can’t do that, just resign and I will find other people who more capable than you, Schoenberg”

Hmph…big mouth. Likewise, you can do that, you only know some street thugs, what they can do when some expert I hired before all were failed. That’s what Schoenberg silently thought.

These couple of months he didn’t do anything like Jimmy accused. After the first and second attempt fails, he tries to contact and hire another person to do arson on the orphanage. But Reid who stays vigilant is able to destroy his plan. This third arsonist is not even better than the previous two. He’s wetting his pant and fainted after seeing a skeleton dancing happily in the dark corner of orphanage house. Since this arsonist comes by foot, Reid had to drag him far away from the orphanage and left him lying unconscious in a certain dark alley. The fourth attempt, Schoenberg already finds difficult to get men who willing to do his dirty works. After three consecutive failures, rumors start to spreads in the underground world that there’s certainly haunted orphanage exists in the city. Since the previous person he hired are had quite a name in underground work and yet still failed, Schoenberg can’t find other persons who can be called an expert in arson field. He only can get common street thugs who willing to do his dirty works.

On the fourth attempt, he sent three people at once. Even he sent more men, Reid still easily handled these bad guys. Even though they used to do the crime, retort with violence, intimidating street peddler, bullying little kids, once they saw a skeleton flying around the orphanage, they faint on spot in front of orphanage entrance. And in the end, Reid must drag them all and dump them near garbage bin in a nearby alley.

Well, garbage come garbage out. That’s what Reid murmuring while dragging those three scumbags. And after the failed fourth attempt, Schoenberg is out of manpower. Rumors about haunted Orphanage getting spread wider and no arson or thugs want to deal with business there. For the next month, Reid is a bit relaxing because Schoenberg still thinking hard about a new method to acquire the orphanage land certificate.

“Oh, but I work under your father, young master Jimmy. Whether or not I’m resigning it’s depended on Sir Sloan. And if young master Jimmy confident able to handle this matter by yourself, please do so. I would gladly to step back and leave this matter to young master Jimmy or better people who Young master Jimmy choose”

Hearing Schoenberg wants to withdraw from this project make Jimmy startled. Well, actually he only talks and not really wanted to dismiss Schoenberg from the project. Only his arrogant attitude makes him able to utter such words to Schoenberg.

“Ha….please don’t take it to your heart, Schoenberg. I’m sorry, I just stressed because the project not show any progress and vent my anger to you”

“Venting anger by throwing things to other people is not a good habit, young master. If that astray hit my forehead, at least I will get a bump on my forehead right now”

“Ha ha….blame my father for that. He’s the one who gives an example of how to vent anger. Anyway, please don’t leave me on this project.”

“Since young master already admit make mistake and apologize, I guess I also should not prolong this matter anymore”

“Thanks, Schoenberg….Did you have a plan to get the orphanage land certificate?”

“I’ve tried all safe ways to make the orphanage willing to surrender their property without making us connected with the attempt, but it all failed. I can try more extreme ways to handle this matter but I’m afraid we can’t hide our interference in this matter. the other party will know that we will be behind what will happen to them later”

“Let me hear that plan first, Schoenberg”

“Alright, this is the plan…”

Schoenberg starts telling Jimmy about the plan he had to get the land certificate from the orphanage. Jimmy listens to Schoenberg explanation carefully and trying not to interrupt his words. After Schoenberg finish explained his plan, Jimmy thinking for a while before starts to speak again

“Okay, let’s do that way, Schoenberg”
