“Oh, you realize that?” Mr. James raised his eyebrows with a smile. The way he sat also suddenly changed to become straighter. From his body gestures, he seemed to be excited about this.The other people immediately looked at Mr. James and smiled nodding to Mr. James. They saw a glimmer of hope from the person with the bowling ball head.Mr. Erik raised his hand. “I agree that Mr. James should lead the meeting. He has a lot of experience and is also quite intelligent. He will be very careful in handling the Dariustar Group. We all want the best, right?”Miss Teressa, a 30-something woman with long hair and thin lips also raised her hand. “I think it's a good choice to have Mr. James preside over this meeting. He is a competent decision-maker. There are a lot of important things he can master and can eventually become the solution to the company's problems.”The other directors also raised their hands and gave their reasons for making Mr. James the meeting leader. By count, there were
“This-” Miss Teressa gulped to herself upon hearing that. She looked at the other directors. It turned out that they were looking at her with the same gaze.Most of them had become tense with Shawn's previous words. They were beginning to feel that Shawn had some scary thoughts. He didn't even hold back when he said that.Mr. James was getting restless. In his mind he was constantly haunted. “She seriously said that? Who does she think she is?”He turned to Mr. Erik. The big man also opened his eyes wide in agitation. He unconsciously broke out in cold sweat from his forehead.Mr. James stood up. “You can't do that, Young Master! Just because you're the grandson of the company's founder, you can't decide such things on your own. That's why we have board meetings. If you want to do something like that, you don't respect us at all!”Mr. Erik also stood up. “I think Mr. James is right. We are gathered in this room to discuss the progress of the DariuStar Group companies. If you do someth
“Ah... my back! He broke my back!” Mr. James groaned in pain as he pointed at Shawn. His body was writhing, due to the pain of the slam from Shawn.Shawn then looked at the people who opposed him. They gulped when they saw what he had done to Mr. James. It turned out that Lord Darius' grandson was more terrifying than they had expected.Shawn put his arms in his pockets. He looked down at Mr. James. “That's it?”Mr. James glared while gritting his teeth. “You... you're insolent! You don't even have manners towards your elders! Your behavior truly reflects where you come from. People with poor mentality and violence as a solution.”Shawn smiled with one of his lips rising higher. Mr. James had said something illogical again. He couldn't fight with power or physical strength, so he tried to fight with status.Unfortunately, Shawn was not a mentally weak person. He was not easily provoked by such petty taunts. “Ethics? Ask yourself that. A branch leader shouldn't embezzle money for perso
“Who's there?” The hearts of Mr. James and the others nearly gave out when he heard that sentence.When the hand opened the door, they could only breathe a sigh of relief. It was Darius Hubert, their boss and Shawn's grandfather. Mr. James immediately brushed off the security guard's hand that was holding him. Then he hobbled towards Darius.He called out to him in a pleading voice. “Lord Darius! Lord Darius! Thank goodness you're here.”Darius paid close attention to the way Lord James walked. He looked like he had suffered a blow or impact. Darius also noticed that Lord James was holding his back. This was something new for Darius.Miss Jill with a worried face also approached. “Lord Darius, what a coincidence that you came. You must have come to clear things up, right?”Darius raised both eyebrows high. This made him look completely unaware of what was happening.Lord Erik also approached him. He looked the most nervous. “Have you just arrived, Lord Darius? I know, you must not be
“Security again?” Miss Jill glared at Darius. “Lord Darius? We're already with security. Why call another security?”Darius didn't answer her. Instead, he turned around. “Alex, get everything done. I'll be back to watch Shawn from afar.”Alex bowed respectfully. “Of course, Lord Darius. The troubles about these scumbags will be finished soon.”Darius walked away from the place, not caring about the screams of the people calling out to him. They continued to roar and beg for mercy, but Darius ignored them.Miss Jill ran after him. “Lord Darius! I beg you to forgive me. I will correct my mistake. Please don't let me leave this company!”Miss Jill's steps were immediately blocked by two men in black. One of them was Shawn's trusted man, Dio. Dio immediately grabbed the woman and held her back from running. Miss Jill grimaced angrily and rebelled. “Get out of the way! I have to talk to Lord Darius! Get out of my way, asshole! Don't you know that I'm the director here? I have a high place
“That concludes today's board of directors meeting. I hope the results of this meeting can be executed properly.”Applause from the board of directors marked the end of the meeting chaired by Shawn. The remaining 13 people in the room were smiling and eager to implement the results of the meeting that Shawn had just chaired. They walked out of the room talking to each other about the meeting they had just attended.“That's a genius move! If we can pull it off, then profits will increase by 15% in one month!”“Not only that, there are many opportunities to expand. Although it will take time, it's very realistic.”“I didn't expect all these guys to think of such great things.”They walked while talking softly like that. Little did Shawn know that he had very keen hearing and knew what they were talking about on their way to the exit.Shawn smiled a little at their compliments. It had been a long time since Shawn had heard anything like that. Since Shawn had always gotten insults, it fel
“Good work, Young Master.” Alex smiled while holding the doorknob of the room. Shawn turned to Alex and could see how casual his gaze was as he watched Shawn through the crack in the door until he was out of sight. Darius' loyal servant went back to leaving Shawn there alone.Shawn exhaled as he closed his eyes for a moment. In his mind he kept muttering. “Alex and Grandpa intend to test my skills today?”When Shawn opened his eyes, he heard a familiar sound.[Ding!][Mission: Who is the boss? Successfully completed!][You get a gift???][Are you going to open the gift now?][Options:][Yes][No]Shawn narrowed his eyes. This time he wasn't too interested in the notification that popped up. For some reason, knowing about such a mystery prize did not excite him. Shawn turned his gaze to the people in front of him. He muttered. “Save it for later.”[Ding!][You choose not to open the gift now. The gift will be stored in your inventory.]Shawn could now see in front of him people with a
Shawn let out a long breath. He sat on the edge of his bed looking down. He had had a long day.Shawn's demeanor drew attention from Rachel. She sat down next to Shawn. “You don't look so good.”The woman's soft voice made Shawn glance at her. Rachel raised one eyebrow and tilted her lips. Shawn had not noticed Rachel's presence because his mind was not focused. “Oh, Rachel. It's you.”Shawn had been at the office all day. Because he was so busy, he had even forgotten about Rachel. Moreover, this morning started with a supplex slam to one of the board of directors. It had been quite a crazy day.Rachel wrinkled her forehead. “What's wrong with you? You're not usually like this. Before, you could even find out the person who entered the house secretly.”Rachel was talking about the time her cousin's hired man came and tried to harm Shawn. At that time Shawn was able to figure it out and stop it. However, right now Shawn's senses were so desensitized that he had no idea that Rachel was
