Chapter 240 - Going To Precint

President Hanada's group was on the way out the door; however, no matter how much they tried to push or pull, the door wouldn't budge. "Sir, the door won't open no matter what I do," stated the bodyguard of President Hanada.

"What's this? Why won't the door open? Takashi!" President Hanada yelled, who he didn't address as a president but only by his name. The directors who were with President Hanada all raised their eyebrows and turned around to face Takashi, who was reddened from embarrassment. He sweated profusely while immediately walking towards the President.

"Sir! Allow me to try!" He did what a bodyguard would do. He pulled and pushed the door, but it still didn't open. They didn't know that Tanaga had changed all the locks on the door. The change meant that the door would automatically shut whenever an intruder broke in, and it wouldn't open unless they got the code from the security company.

President Hanada's group had no other choice but to go back to the meeting room and think about who to call for help. Takashi was fed up as he followed while his head was glued to the group. Because of that, he didn't notice that the door had closed and *thud* he bumped his head on it. "What in the world?! That hurts!" Takashi exclaimed while scratching his head.

He tried to open the door, only to find that it was locked. As per President Hanada's request, one of his bodyguards had locked the door. "Sir! President, sir!" *Knock knock* But no matter how hard he knocked, nobody had opened the door. He had no choice but to think of another strategy. He decided to call some people to help them.

Yet when he searched for his phone, he realized that he didn't have it, nor did he remember where he had left it. He couldn't go outside to look in the car, so he thought he should go back to the office to search for it.

However, when trying to open the office door, Takashi was disappointed to see that there was no way of opening it. The security guard had locked it up while checking the building earlier. Only the meeting room was left unchecked.

Takashi dropped to the ground, his eyes burning while on the verge of tears. "Oh my God! What is happening to me? CEO Jones – your day will come! You think I will let myself lose easily…. NO! You will suffer!" Takashi screamed. No one had heard his screams.

He still couldn't believe that the sniveling bastard of a CEO had outsmarted him; even President Hanada couldn't do such a thing. But Takashi did not give up that easily, as he would do anything in the name of vengeance. "A full-blown war! Let's see where you will end up."

Meanwhile, President Hanada was ringing Tanaga. He had no choice but to call him if they wanted to get out of the building. The problem was that Tanaga's phone was currently off, after all, he was flying high above the clouds in a plane to the Philippines.

As his phone failed to connect to Tanaga's, Koji was next on the list to call. The problem here was that Koji took sleeping pills which put him into a deep sleep. He wouldn't hear nor wake up no matter how loud his phone rang. The last option was Kai, yet Kai was at a party and was so drunk that he couldn't even hear the buzzing of his phone.

President Hanada felt his blood boil at the fact that he couldn't get hold of anyone. The worst-case scenario was that they were going to spend the night in the meeting room. But for Takashi, the main problem now was that his stomach was starting to complain. He was at the airport when he ordered his assistant to arrange a hotel and reserve a restaurant for their dinner.

"That's right! My assistant could help us get out of here!" He was preparing to call but then…

Everybody was shocked when somebody loudly banged on the door. *BAM! BAM! BAM!* "This is the police. Open up!"

President Hanada's bodyguard hastily opened the door. "Sigh… thank god you've arrived!" President Hanada proclaimed, without even standing up. He had a serious expression cemented on his face.

"We received a report that there's an intruder inside, but the limousine driver said that you are the owner. If you are the owner, how come you did not call and inform the security company?" interrogated the police to no one in particular.

"I need to verify your identity before I can release all of you, however, we will need to do that at the station. Please, follow us – all of you!" the police officer sternly requested while his two companions remained on guard, just in case anyone wanted to retaliate.

President Hanada raised his eyebrow when he heard that he needed to go to the police station.

"I'm sorry, but in order for us to verify your identity, you will need to come with us. Let's go! I don't have all day!" the police officer proclaimed, feeling his irritation build at President Hanada's arrogance.

"What do you mean I need to come with you to the station? You can verify it from here! Here are my passport and business card." He quickly grabbed his IDs from his briefcase and forcefully gave it to the officer.

"Give your passports too!" President Hanada ordered his companions, who then speedily gave them to the officer. They didn't want to be at the receiving end of his fury.

"These are fine, but I can't verify the authenticity of the passports here. You will need to come down to the station. Come on, let's go!" the police officer declared again, with a resolute countenance.

The bodyguard of President Hanada intervened to quicken the process. "President Hanada, it's best we go with the officer, so we get this over and done with." He then approached the old man to help him stand up.

Just to put a haste end to this, President Hanada chose to listen to his bodyguard and followed the police to the precinct.

Meanwhile, Takashi was oblivious that President Hanada was going to the precinct. When he noticed that they were going outside, he dashed forward to catch up, only to get himself involved in the predicament.

"Wait! Wait! I need to find my phone… I need to call one of my employees!" Takashi shouted the plea while he was being forced into the police van, along with President Hanada and his companions.

"You can do that at the station, now... go inside the van before I handcuff you!" the police officer answered, on the brink of losing his patience.

Takashi had no choice but to comply as he didn't want to get handcuffed. But when he was about to enter the van, he met face-to-face with President Hanada. Suddenly, to his surprise, Takashi was kicked out.

*Thud! Boing!* He slammed down onto the ground and landed on his butt.

"Sir! That's assault, you cannot do that! I guess you want to spend time in jail?" the police officer warned the President.

"Hmph!" the old man replied while sitting arrogantly.
