Journi didn't care that the board of directors was staring at her oddly. She politely invited Harvey to take his seat reserved for the chairman before sitting next to him. She switched on the mic and said, "Alright everyone. All of you know the person that's next to me. He is the next chairman that you have chosen, Harvey York."I am the agent he has employed. Which means that once he has officially become chairman, I will perform all the duties of a chairman on his behalf. My father is retiring in ten more days, but he has already signed the letter of appointment. The reason I called for this meeting is so that all of you can get to know and support each other better. That way, the Country H Commercial Group will become even better."After Journi had finished, she clapped. "Everyone understands what I'm saying?"When everyone from the board heard what Journi had to say, all of them revealed nothing but sneers and contempt. From what she had to say, even if Harvey had become chair

"Mr. Leighton…" Journi said slowly as she looked at the vice-chairman. "You should understand that Mr. York could be the chairman because of the result of your votes. According to normal procedure, whether my father gave him the appointment letter or not doesn't matter. He would be the next chairman regardless."No one has the right to question this. Unless Mr. York personally asked to resign, he'd be the next chairman. No one has any say in this.""Ha! Are you threatening me?" Leighton smirked coldly. "Just as he can remain as the chairman of Country H Commercial Group, we also have the right to withdraw. We'll make this company exist in name only!"Journi frowned. "We're not worried. Mr. Leighton, the procedure was decided by the board. Mr. York was also chosen by the board. As one of the original members of the group, it's not good to say things that would affect the group's unity, no?""Affecting the group's unity?" Leighton scoffed. "Fine! I won't say something that affects

Bang!Before Leighton and the others could finish what they were saying, Harvey slammed his palm on the table."Good! I've always thought the people in this company were all together in this with Elric. I didn't expect that all of you would love your country so much! Then this will be easy. The first thing I want to do when I'm chairman is to completely remove the Island Nation's meddling within the Country H Commercial Group, so that we can act on our interest once more."I'll make the Island Nation investors leave!"Everyone who was clamoring for Harvey to leave was taken aback by his statement. They were so startled that they were unsure of what to say. Even Leighton was a bit stunned.Harvey had acted beyond their expectations.Only Journi knew that Harvey wasn't doing this because they forced him to. He was going to get rid of all the Island Nation investors for real. It had been one of his major requests to Elric. "Harvey, is it?" Leighton said with a dark expression. "Do

They weren't irreplaceable?The board members simply wanted to threaten Harvey using their potential resignation. But from his tone, it seemed he genuinely wished they could all leave. After giving it a thought, it made sense.Country H Commercial Group's reputation was too strong.There were plenty who were willing to replace them if they were to leave. Not to mention, Harvey could use the empty spots to purchase the loyalty of others. If Harvey allowed their enemies to sit on the board and use the commercial group's reputation against them, even if they wouldn't fail outright, it would certainly be disgusting.When the board members thought things through, they chose to stay quiet. They instantly looked at Leighton, wanting to see how the vice-chairman was going to deal with this situation.Journi looked at Leighton as well, curious.She knew very well that Leighton's biggest wish was to become the commercial group's chairman. Would he leave in a situation like this? Impossib

"Do you really think everyone here is an idiot? That they deserved to be exploited by you? Do you think you have the right to do that?" Harvey went on.Every word Harvey said was enough to silence Leighton. He didn't dare to talk back.The board members were slightly taken aback, and their expressions became a little strange. "When you first became the vice-chairman, you befriended this person, colluded with that person, promised this, swore to do that…" Harvey said. "But in the end? You didn't benefit everyone after you became the vice–chairman, and even used the chance to profit yourself instead."Harvey slammed his hand on the table. His words were enough to cause a riot. "You used the commercial group's reputation to exploit them all and take their hard-earned profit! Where is your conscience? With a style like that, anyone here on the board can be the vice-chairman and perform better than you."Maybe they won't even take any fee for introducing someone else to do business.

Looking at the photos, Leighton was very clear that he had already lost his justifiable cause. His expression instantly turned dark as he clenched his fists. After a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "My apologies, chairman. It's my fault this time…"Leighton was furious. He wished he could choke Harvey to death right there and then. However, he didn't dare to make any moves at the moment.What happened was enough to make everyone present narrow their eyes. Some of them couldn't even react to what was happening just yet. No one expected Harvey to deal with Leighton so easily.In the beginning, everyone thought that with how forceful Leighton was being, he would easily disgrace the so-called new chairman. But they didn't expect the situation to reverse so quickly. They could only sigh and think to themselves that no one who could be in a leadership position was a fool.However, those who were waiting to see how Harvey was going to make a fool of himself had determined two

Leighton was acting like a gambler who had lost everything. He was going all-in. It was obvious he didn't want to get suppressed by Harvey little by little. What he wanted to do now was to retaliate with everything he had and take back everything."One month? I don't have the time to play around with you." Harvey grinned, then approached Leighton and tapped the latter's face. "Three days. If I can't make the Island Nation investors withdraw in three days, I'll leave. But if I can, you'll have to give up everything you own and leave this group."Harvey didn't want to waste time and wanted to deal with everything in one go. Leighton gritted his teeth. "Fine! I'll do as promised. Everyone here can be our witness! I want to see just how great you are!"-Half an hour later, in a semi-outdoor office at the top of an estate. The warm sunlight showered into the office through the skylight and into the office. However, the brightness wasn't blinding.This was the Country H Commercial Gr

The following day was a beautiful sunny day with no clouds.In a hunting ground in Wolsing's countryside, a sightseeing electric vehicle was slowly moving forward.Leighton, who was in the passenger's seat, turned around and said coldly, "Harvey, Journi. Since you dare to accept my challenge, I'm not afraid to accept the consequences."I've already made an appointment for you with Ms. Haruka Ito, the representative of Hexagon Inc. She will give us ten minutes. If you can convince her to give up their investment in Country H Commercial Group completely within ten minutes, then I'll donate everything I have today and leave without any complaints."If you can't do this today, then I'm sorry, but you'll have to resign later tonight." He lit up his cigar and huffed out a smoke circle, a fake smile plastered on his face.After Leighton had issued the challenge last night, he did something after he went home. Upon midnight, he gave Harvey a call and said he would make an appointment wi
