?Chapter 691:


    “No, no, no! Ms. President, that’s not what we meant…”


    Sheppard and Wesson werepletely taken aback by Marissa’s sudden fury, struggling to grasp the situation and hastily trying to defend themselves.


    However, Marissa did not allow them another word. With a graceful sweep of her hand, shemanded, “Guards, teach these men who disrespect the Peridot Consortium a stern lesson!”


    Xander, having been ready for action, moved quickly at Marissa’s signal. He knocked Sheppard and Wesson to the floor with a swift kick.


    Xander’s vice president position wasrgely symbolic, but it still carried some weight. Kicking two insignificant people wouldn’t look great for a vice president. It could tarnish the image of the Peridot Consortium, casting it in a negative light as an uncultured, barbaric organization.


    However, with Marissa assuming the role of the new president, Xander felt a sense of responsibility to support her.


    She was unfamiliar with the other members, who were predominantly Kevin’s subordinates. Xander feared that if he didn’t intervene, Marissa’s authority would crumble before it even had a chance to take root.


    He didn’t fully understand the rtionship between Kevin and Marissa. To him, Kevin seemed like the kind of guy who could stir up trouble for her.

    Titles didn’t matter to Xander. His sole concern was ensuring that Marissa’s directives were carried out effectively, enabling her to assert her authority and leadership.


    Right after Xander had kicked Sheppard and Wesson to the floor, Kevin nced over at his subordinates and casually asked, “Are you going to just stand there?”


    Kevin’s subordinates from the Rasetsu Group were proficient fighters who were undoubtedly loyal to him. They were intimidated after hearing his words, though they had no idea what he really meant.


    With a chilling re, Kevin reprimanded them for their hesitance.


    “Didn’t you hear the president’s orders? She wants you to punish those two insolent fools, yet you’re standing here like corpses. Are you all deaf? Why does the vice president have to handle such trivial matters personally? What’s the point of having you? Do you all want to get fired?”


    His subordinates got the message loud and clear.


    The lead guy quickly walked over to Xander and respectfully said, “Mr. Hoffman, there’s no need for you to trouble yourself. Allow us to take care of it for you.”


    Xander shrugged and replied, “Thanks,” then stepped back to stand beside Marissa.


    The moment Xander retreated, the lead guy signaled, and the rest rushed over to Sheppard and Wesson, ready to dish out a beating.


    Sheppard and Wesson, just regr guys, couldn’t withstand Xander’s initial blow. They had no chance to defend themselves.
