Marion wiped the muzzle of his gun and instructed his men, "Clean this up."
"Yes, sir." The guards stepped forward and swiftly disposed of Corey's body.
His supporters were scared out of their wits.
Marion sat back in his chair and glanced at them. "You have two options. Sell your shares or end up like Corey."
The shareholders exchanged nervous glances and shook like leaves.
"We're willing to give up our shares."
"Yes, please take them."
Though the air conditioner was set to a cool 68°F, the shareholders were drenched in cold sweat.
Marion glanced at the lawyer, who stepped forward and handed out the share transfer agreements. The shareholders had no choice but to sign them.
Marion holstered his gun and said, "That's all for today. The meeting is dismissed."
The guards quickly escorted those shareholders out of the room.
Randy glanced at the bloodstains on the floor. "Wow, that was brutal."
Marion shot him a look, and he quickly added, "But it's much better than before."
Marion muttered, "All set. Time to go home."
Debra recognized them immediately. They were mentioned in the list that Andrew had given her during his tutelage. 30 years ago, they were both famous figures in Seamar City.
One of them was Freddy Potter. He was the cousin of the late patriarch, Triston Potter.
The other was Josh Palmer, Triston's sworn brother.
These two veterans were nearly 70, long retired from active business but still holding immense influence.
The four others seated beside them were directors of the Potter Group, all nearing retirement. They were important figures in the business world and relatives of the Potter family.
Despite holding shares, they had never interfered in company matters.
One of them was the youngest professor to make it onto Forbes's top ten richest list. Another was a leading figure in finance, rumored to have built a legendary career in global stock markets with his exceptional intellect.
