Oh My Saviors

Chapter 52: The Meeting Verdict

With footsteps, Richard, Nic, Ken and Ren echoed down the hallway to the meeting room. As agreed by all, the meeting was held again because the previous leader had returned.

Richard entered the room followed by the others, he sat down, opposite him Martin and two bodyguards were present, and Cherry was also present, somehow Martin took him too.

"Welcome back uncle, how are you?" Richard sat down with a friendly smile.

"I'm a very good nephew, how does it feel to go to jail?" Martin chuckled softly, everyone knew the intent of Martin's question was to mock.

"Lumayan is quite comfortable, I can sleep well there, unlike fugitives who have to hide continuously." Richard replies.

Martin chuckled, "why don't you just stay there if you think it's convenient." They are still arguing.

"Unfortunately, the police found evidence that I'm innocent. So yeah, I had to go out even though I was still there." Richard pretended to be sad.

Cih, Martin threw an annoyed look, he seemed to start to get emotional, but Richard still remained calm, as usual this man always managed to control his emotions well, "my uncle, why did you come back? Hasn't your name been removed from the Nelson family list? Everyone knows my Grandpa's son is now my only father and I'm his only grandson."

"Why then? You think I can only rely on my father's money to succeed? No Richard, the fact is I already own 40% more shares in this company, in my own right. In other words, I also have the right to run for group leader in this company." Martin obviously.

Richard snorted in laughter, "alright, let the Council decide their choice. If they choose you then you'll be the next leader."

"Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, as you know, I have just returned from custody for almost a month, but I was released because the allegations were not proven true. Yes, I can say that if I have been slandered, but now that the police have arrested the real perpetrator and the evidence, here I want to give you a chance to give your opinion, if any of you don't like my performance this is your chance to get me out of this position." Richard gave a speech, he started his meeting.

"There's my uncle, Mr. Martin. He used to be surnamed like me Nelson, but after all that happened my grandfather decided to take his last name and remove it from the family and heir list, of course you've heard of him." All eyes were on Martin.

"Mr Martin owns 40% of the shares previously owned by Mr. Carles at 10%, Mr. Stuart at 5%, Mr. Dean at 15%, but the remaining 10% of the latter belongs to Mr. Hans, he hasn't given the transfer of shares approval, has he? In other words he has not really given up 10% of the shares, he just borrowed half the money because the company he runs is losing." Martin melengos heard Richard's true words.

"But today he called me, he wanted to return the money he had borrowed from you Uncle, it just so happened that he could not attend because he was out of town, he would talk to us via video call. Good afternoon Mr Hans!" The person in question appeared on the big screen in front of them.

"Please, do you have something to say, sir!"

"You all heard it, so the total shares owned by Mr. Martin are only 30% now, while mine is 50% plus my wife Shelia and the total shares I own are 60% so in this case I won. But, that choice I gave you back, thank you!" Richard finished his speech and sat down.

Now the spokesman for the company spoke up, "Gentlemen and Ladies, you know well what Mr. Richard looks like, he's a good, wise and dedicated man for the company, if it were not for him this company would not have succeeded as it is today. Do you still have doubts about his performance?" he asked everyone, making everyone present look at each other, they whispered to each other softly.

"It is true that if it were not for Mr. Richard this company would definitely not have developed as it is now, so I personally would have chosen Mr. Richard." He smiled, and sat back down to everyone's applause.

"So you can come to a conclusion, who will you choose! So we start voting, I'll give you five minutes." They are given one tab each to give a vote.

Richard sat down leisurely, and Martin seemed to whisper with his subordinates, as if he were planning something, "Why is everything ready?" Richard whispered to Ken.

"Already sir, everything is in position."

"Voting is over, please put your tab back." The woman's gender-based spokesman walked to the big screen in front, before announcing the results of the vote she gave a speech for a while, he also explains a lot about the vision and mission of both sides as well as the achievements of previous leaders.

"All right, let's open with the votes! Mr. Richard by 70% and Mr. Martin by 30%, let's applaud Mr. Richard!" The sound of applause echoed in the room, Richard standing while bowing respectfully.

"Thank you for your trust in me, I'll do my best" Richard didn't finish saying what a weapon was stuck in his direction.

"Thank your hands!" shouted the bodyguard that Martin had brought earlier, whether since when his men became doubled. Everyone panicked, especially the women they screamed hysterically, but were forced to return to silence because they were snapped by Martin's men.

Richard threw a sharp glare at Martin, "what the hell is this Uncle? Playing with firearms is not good, especially illegal weapons!"

"Shut up you son of a bitch! I've been trying to be patient with you, you fucking niece, I should've finished you off since you were in your mother's womb so as not to have to be born into this world. But, papa's not killing you right now is still a chance." Martin laughs like a fool, he's like a madman.

"Just kill me uncle, anyway there are many eyewitnesses, not the company you get, instead you will be languishing in prison." Richard laughed cynically.

"Damn it, I don't care, all I want now is your life." Martin said while the weapon remained focused on Richard.
