The Hero

Chapter 67 Romance of the Three Kings, Odell's Version

John Odell has disappeared, leaving behind a letter he wrote personally, which is also a will.

In it, he declared that he would leave the world, so he would not bother with superficial things. Instead, he wanted to travel to his ancestral hometown and enjoy the beautiful scenery. He wanted to be buried there, so his family would not have to look for him.

Although the will specifically states that he does not want to be found, Odell still uses their relationship to try to find Mr. John but to no avail.

Meanwhile, the loss of John Odell was also a crushing blow to Odello Corp.  Victor, who was the leader of the group of five, now held the most power in his hands. Meanwhile, Matthew, whose powers have been stripped away by Victor, can no longer be distracted by the battle against Jade. All he wanted to do right now was regain the power Victor had.

Therefore, Odello Corp.'s internal management underwent a major change in terms of combat, turning everything into Odells' battle against the group of five people.

Considering the current situation, Jade who should be feeling relaxed, inevitably felt a little worried.

“Should I help Matthew? Even though I don't like him, he's still an Odell, so it's better he takes over the grandfather's company than-”

Before Jade could finish his statement, Javier asked, "Have you forgotten why he launched all those attacks on you?"

Jade was a little surprised. "He did that to get me married to the Dunham family, of course."

Suddenly, he realized what was going to happen. "Have you told me that Matthew might drag Dunham into this again by asking them for help?!"

Javier shook his head. “It's not a possibility, it's a guarantee! He has to bring Dunhams, or he won't be able to compete with that group of five.”

'Is he going to bring the hungry wolf back to Odello Corp, by getting Dunhams?

Buffing her legs while sitting on the sofa, Jade pondered the situation for a moment and felt depressed.

He faces a dilemma. He was afraid that the company his grandfather had built with great difficulty would end up in the hands of outsiders.

Raising his head to look at Javier, who was reading a book, Jade asked, 'What should I do now, Javier? Please help me do something, please. ”

"We're not going to do anything but wait. Isn't that so Miss Odell? Just sit back, relax, and see what happens.”

Jade knows that Javier suggested that he "let the enemy fight first and go in to kill whoever wins between the two of them" so that he would become the executioner.

However, what puzzled Jade was that she did not have a say in Odello Corp. at all, so what right did she have to be an executioner?

When Jade expressed her confusion, Javier closed the book he was reading—Romansa Three Kingdoms—and smiled.

"Don't worry. In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the country is ruled by three great powers, so the name appears..." .

Sure enough, everything Javier predicted came true.

Over the next month, many of Matthew's descendants were eliminated, so among the top management of the company, a group of five people had the final say in everything and were not against anything.

Basically, Victor will be able to do whatever he wants in the company with little resistance. Things have progressed to such an extent that janitors will play with badges in their uniforms and joke that "Odello Corp." will become "Dowding Corp." soon.

However, Matthew would not let this come true so easily. After many defeats, he finally uses his ace and manages to get Dunham into Odell Corp. on the grounds that Dunham will invest in the company.

While the person representing Dunham is none other than Zayn, who was absent from the battle yesterday” due to the death of his mother. Naturally, Victor would not allow the "reinforcements" Matthew brought to join the battlefield. So, at the meeting that morning, he and Zayn had a big fight, and he insulted Zayn for interfering in the internal affairs of Odello Corp. when he was a member of the Dunham family  .

However, Zayn also had his own reasons. He wanted to make sure that Odells remained in power and Odello Corp. did not turn into Dowding Corp.

After Javier finds out what happened during the meeting, he tells Jade, "It looks like it's time for you to join the battlefield, the executioner."

“ You are a legitimate descendant of Odell, which also means you are entitled to inherit the shares owned by your grandfather in the company.

"This means Victor has no other choice but to ask you to join him. Only by doing so would he have the chance to face Matthew without fear.”

Jade frowned slightly after understanding what Javier had said just now.

“Matthew is fully concentrating on defeating the enemy right now, so it doesn't feel good if I help the enemy, right? I feel like I betrayed my family.”

'Really focused on defeating the enemy, yeah... Looks like Jade still hasn't realized who the real boss is.'

However, Javier had no intention of explaining too much. Instead, he just shook his head slowly.

In fact, he didn't need to explain it to her, because Victor, who had just entered Jade's office, would do it for her.

After Victor got into the room, he immediately told Javier to clean their car.

Javier is a driver at the moment, so there's no harm in him being ordered by the deputy general manager to clean the car, so Jade can't say anything about that.

After upsetting Javier, Victor looked at Jade with a disappointed expression.

"Jade, I can't stand your second uncle anymore! How could he bring foreign invaders into the company?

“The Dunham family was always trying to take over Odello Corp., that's why Zayn was really after you back then. He wanted to use his potential status as Odell's son-in-law to enter the internal management of our company and take everything for himself!

“But your second uncle really gave him the perfect opportunity to enter here, so isn't it true he allowed foreign invaders to enter our fortress ?”

Jade finally understood why Javier shook his head a moment ago. 'He tried to tell me that as bad as Victor was, he wasn't the last boss I had to worry about - Matthew Dunham was brought in.

'If I compare this to 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms', the book Javier recently read, Victor will be Wu, while Dunham will be Wei!'

Jade now understands what Javier wants him to do, and he also understands what he has to do…

'I'll take advantage of Victor and get promoted!

Jade "soon" asked, "What should we do now, Mr Dowding? We can't just sit back and let Dunham take everything Odell has!”

Victor immediately widened his eyes. “Of course, we can't! I will risk my life to make sure this never happens!

"How about this? I've discussed this matter with the other elders, and we all agreed to make you chairman because the old chairman is no more. You are also an Odell, and the blood of your old chief runs through your veins!

"From today, some of us will support you to become a high-level management in the company and appoint you as a deputy general manager. We will officially work together and fight for you to be chairman. I refuse to believe that Dunham will win when the five of us are behind you!” When Jade heard this, she immediately felt happy that she had just "won" the battle and continued to thank Victor.

Victor very politely said that he had just done his job and gave him some more instructions before leaving his office.

However, just as he turned around, turning his back on Jade, a threatening and cunning look flashed across Victor's eyes.

'  It's as if I will hand over Odello Corp. to you, Jade. I will take over the company and change its name to Dowding Corp. and vice versa!'

Meanwhile, Jade wonders what Javier will think when he finds out what just happened…

'I'm sure he'll say that it's time for Shu to step into the battlefield!'
