Chapter 466 No Effort Needed
Sylvia was confident that she would be able to make these people talk
“I’ll give you one more chance. Where did these counterfeit products come from?” Sylvia asked as she walked up to them.
All of them exchanged glances without saying anything.
“Still as stubborn as ever, I see. Don’t blame me, then.” Sylvia’s expression turned cold. She gestured with her hand and said, “Boys, give them a taste of pain!”
As soon as she finished speaking, a group of armored soldiers appeared.
Every single one of them was accompanied by a trained police dog.
These dogs were huge, with big mouths and extremely sharp fangs.
When the people saw the dogs, they became afraid.
“What do you think you’re doing?”
“What you’re doing is illegal. I’m goin to call the Inspector General’s office!”
The franchisees were starting to panic.
“The Inspector General’s office?” she snickered.
None of them would dare to meddle even if the inspectors were to come.
“Do it now!” Sylvia said.
The dogs barked ferociously as they ran toward the franchisees.
“I’m getting bitten to death!”
“Save me!”
The screams filled the entire factory.
They tried to struggle against the dogs but to no avail.
They weren’t able to free themselves from the jaws of the dogs.
One of the dogs sunk its teeth into the calf of one man.
“It’s so painful I’m going to die!”
“Someb*dy help us!”
All the franchisees were struggling hard.

But the more they struggled, the harder the dogs bit them.
These dogs could even tear their flesh off.
A few minutes later, Sylvia walked over to Caspian and said, “Caspian, I’ve got the answer.
Sylvia took out a folder.
With his eyes closed, Caspian took the folder.
After reading it through, his face became frigid.
“The Kane family? I can’t believe it’s them. Haven’t they learned their lesson?
“I’ve decided to let you off the hook, but I guess no more playing Mr. Nice Guy,” Caspian said coldly.
His initial assumption was the Morrison family.
Who would have thought that it was the Kane family all along?
The Kane family produced large quantities of counterfeit products and sold them to franchisees at low prices.
These money–obsessed franchisees thought that they could get away with this.
Getting the fake goods at low prices could increase their profitability as they sold the products to customers at normal prices.
But what they were doing was slowly destroying Southlake Corporation’s reputation.
“Caspian, what should we do about them?” Sylvia asked as he looked at the franchisees on the
ground.
Caspian shot them a quick glance.
All of them rushed to kneel on the ground.
“Mr. Lynch, please spare us.
“We were just momentarily blinded by money. We didn’t really mean to sell these counterfeit products!”
“Please, I beg you. We swear not to do this again.”
“”“Spare you? Dream on! Because of your greed, Southlake Corporation’s name was dragged through the mud. You must pay for what you’ve done!” Caspian said coldly.
“Sylvia, have them sent to the Inspector General’s office. They must be punished!”
“Yes, Caspian!” Sylvia nodded.
After hearing what Caspian said, they became numb.
Not only did they lose their franchisee’s right, but they might also face jail time.
Their impulsiveness and greed had destroyed everything.
They were starting to regret it, but it was already too late.

Caspian and Sylvia were entering the Kane Tower when they were stopped by a few guards. “What are you doing? Stop there!”
The two had just entered the Kane Tower before they were stopped by a few b*dyguards.
“What a bunch of idiots. We were introduced by Mr. Connolley. He said we can come here to talk business. Can you afford to compensate us if our deal falls through?” Sylvia spat.
The b*dyguards exchanged glances.
They wouldn’t want that either.
“You may enter.” The b*dyguards instantly switched their tone.
Caspian, Sylvia, and a few other men entered the tower.
Inside the office, Hugh was sitting on the couch leisurely.
He was Matteo’s distant relative and was working for him as well.
A few days ago, Matteo assigned him the task of selling counterfeit products to franchisees for cheap.
Since Southlake Corporation’s brand was slapped onto the products, they were surprisingly easy to sell.
It only took them a few days to sell five to six billion worth of counterfeit goods.
It would even be possible to sell more than one billion products in a few days.
He could also profit from this.
It was at this moment when a b*dyguard walked in.
“Mr. Kane, someone is here for a business meeting. They mentioned that it was Mr. Connolley who had introduced them.”
“Mr. Connolley?”
Hugh was trying to recall who it was.

Indeed, there was a franchisee who went by that name.
Nevertheless, because the guest was here for a business discussion, he didn’t refuse.
“Let them in.” Hugh smiled.
Caspian and Sylvia walked in.
However, Caspian didn’t look like someone who was there for a business discussion. As soon
as he walked into the office, he just sat down on the couch.
Hugh was a little taken aback by his smug attitude.
“Are you a friend of Mr. Connolley?” Hugh asked.
“That’s right,” Caspian said as he took a cigar out and took a puff of it.
“Do you know what our products are?” Hugh wasn’t a fool either. He had to ask
This wasn’t a small matter. He had to approach this with caution.
After all, he was selling counterfeit goods. It would be troublesome if people were to find out
about it.
“Aren’t they counterfeit goods? Those who don’t know better would think that they are selling contraband!” Caspian said with a look of disdain on his face.
Hugh was speechless.
Even though they were really selling counterfeit goods, Caspian was a little too blunt about it.
“As long as you know what you’re getting yourself into. How much do you want? I’ll let you know first that it starts at ten million goods. Any lesser than that, and the deal’s off,” Hugh said smugly.
“Just ten million? I’ll buy everything!” Caspian said as he waved his hand.
Hugh looked visibly happy hearing this.
He looked at Caspian. Could it be that Caspian was a big client?
Hugh stretched out five fingers.
“Five billion?” Caspian asked.
Hugh was dumbfounded. Caspian was being a little ambitious.
If he really had five billion counterfeit goods, the entire market would be filled with his goods.
“500 million,” Hugh said awkwardly.
“It’s only 500 million? I thought there would be more! I can’t believe you have the audacity to

Southlake Corporation’s monthly sales were at least in the billions.
But these people only have 500 million goods.
“The factory had just started their production. The quantity would definitely increase over time,” Hugh explained.
“Is that so? So you’re saying you have an independent factory? I guess the scale of your production is pretty big?” Caspian asked tentatively as he narrowed his eyes.
“That goes without saying! The Kane family’s factory is the largest in the entire Dhord City! Even the Morrison family is working together with us. I guess you know the scale of our production now,” Hugh said, looking pleased with himself.
“Beautiful! That’s what I’d like to hear!” Caspian guffawed. “I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to find the source of the goods! I’m glad that there’s even a factory!”
