There was a brief moment of dead silence.
Then, with a "click", the door lock opened a crack from the inside, revealing Kruen's bloodshot eyes filled with rage and humiliation.
There was a bloody scratch on his forehead caused by a fragment, and his face was a mixture of sweat, dust, and the liver color of extreme shame and anger. The office was already a mess.
"What's going on?!" Kron's voice was as hoarse as sandpaper. "What the hell are you asking me?!" His anger exploded like a ignited gasoline barrel. "Today, I was at the Nightingale Club! By that bastard! In front of all the top people in New York! I got stripped naked! I became a dog at his feet!!"
He yanked open the completely deformed door, his body shaking violently with anger. He pointed at himself and shouted to all his confidants outside the door: "Did you see this?! This face! In the eyes of those old money guys, in the eyes of that bastard Reeves! I'm just a dog! A dog that wags its tail and begs for mercy, not even worthy of a name! The head of the New York branch of Black Rabbit Security? Bullshit!"
The accumulated hypocrisy, fear, humiliation and completely shattered self-esteem at this moment were like a flood that broke through the dam, washing away Kruen's last bit of sanity and disguise.
The flattery and tolerance he had pretended to have towards Reeves were completely gone from his distorted face, leaving only deep resentment.
"Reeves!!" He almost screamed out the name hysterically, spit flying everywhere. "A gangster from Chicago! A hypocrite! An old fox! Who the hell is he?! An upstart who climbed to the top by exploiting loopholes and using schemes! He drugged me with drugs, pushed me out as the villain, and made enemies with the three major groups! He hid in the background and pretended to be a saint! He used fucking 'legal' means to cut off my biggest source of wealth! Just when I had just opened up the situation in New York and thought I could finally stand up straight! In front of everyone! He trampled me into the mud! "
He kicked away an overturned, broken globe at his feet, his voice becoming sharp and strange with extreme anger. "I've fought tooth and nail in New York, expanding territory, conquering territory, and snatching cash and drugs! Now it's all the work of Black Rabbit Security! It's become his empire of influence in New York! What do I get? Fucking charity and insults!!"
Kron's eyes swept over every confidant outside the door who was shocked by him, especially Eugene, the confidant from Chicago who had always been by his side.
At this moment, he had no more scruples and vented out his deepest ambitions and most vicious curses nakedly.
"I quit!" Kroon roared, stomping down hard on a torn brochure with the Black Rabbit logo. "What the hell is this Black Rabbit security?! From today on! There are no Black Rabbits in New York! There's only 'Kroon'!"
