Chapter 403: New billionaire president
One of Giovanni’s men walked inside and bowed slightly. “They are all here, though, not all. Three of them refused to come,” he announced.
Giovanni raised his head, a silly smile on his face. “Those men must be the ones that are already thinking of fully serving Grey.
They don’t know that the tide has turned and they would eventually work for me,” he stood, with happiness surging through him. “Everything will change today. I will return everything to the way it was before Grey showed up,” he looked at the man.
“Let’s go.” He ordered.
The man nodded and led him out of the living room into the special meeting room where there were a lot of men already waiting for Giovanni.
Giovanni regarded them for a moment before he moved to sit at his usual place.
“what is this meeting for exactly?” Someone asked.
One of the men grunted at him. “You don’t have permission to call us out here for anything.”
“Let’s go.”
“Does that mean you haven’t heard the news?” Giovanni questioned suddenly and looked at the man that had just spoken. “ Haven’t you?”
“Grey isn’t dead. That can’t be true! I think you have a lot to tell us. I know this is your work. You must have published the news to scare the members of the billionaire club.”
“Yes, I agree with Dave! If not, Why would you call us today when the whole thing happened a few hours ago? You couldn’t even wait for us to confirm it.”
"Sure, it's suspicious!" One of them let out.
“What are you trying to say?” Martin yelled out. “Are you saying Giovanni is a liar?”
Giovanni cleared his throat meaningfully. “I don’t think we should continue arguing. We were bound to talk about this anyways. It’s either today or tomorrow or the day after.”
Everyone grunted, unable to respond to Giovanni's question. The door opened all of a sudden and several men walked inside. Each of them stood behind the men and dropped a magazine in front of them.
“Here’s the news circulating at the moment. If you haven’t been able to access it, you should do so right now.”
The members stared at the magazine for a while before they picked it up and read through the news concerning Grey.
“He was really bombed?” One of the men exclaimed softly.
Murmurs started among the members, each sharing their thoughts with other men. The news has truly reached their side but some of them were still doubting it. In fact, they have tried to reach Alfred but to no avail. All they were waiting for was for Jamal to reach them and tell them the truth.
But Giovanni was taking a step faster.
“Hercules is dead!” Giovanni announced again, in a loud voice. Fear gripped everyone at the fact that Hercules was dead. They all suspected it was Giovanni but no one could step forward and say to him
bodily for fear of what might happen to them as well. They know how much Hercules has challenged Giovanni. They were enemies even before their young ones were born.
Asides, the members used to fear Giovanni a lot anyways until Hercules showed up. And somehow, they had to move back to it or they might die. Giovanni didn't have to say it, they knew it.
“Grey is dead, the billionaire president is dead, Hercules is gone!” Giovanni announced.
Everyone sat up and looked at Giovanni with a new expression.
“So, that means that there has to be a new billionaire president. So, I already met up with Jamal and the billionaire members will have a meeting next week. However,” Giovanni hesitated as he looked at the men, watching out for any new expression but seeing none, he continued. “ What I need from you is easy. I only need you all to support my motion and make me the next billionaire president,” he revealed.
“That will not happen!” One of them uttered.
“We need to confirm if Grey is truly dead! We can't believe the news! Just like that!” Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“Oh, you still think that Grey is alive even though the news is saying otherwise?” Martin demanded angrily.
“Well, it’s normal to want that. I sincerely don’t think there’s anything wrong with that,” another man supported the first one.
“It doesn’t matter actually,” Giovanni cut in quickly. “Those that would not listen to me will be cut off like Grey,” he threatened ina deep voice. “I'm watching everyone so closely. So, what will be your decision?”
“The billionaire member shouldn't be threatened. We are free to choose whoever we want as the boss. This shouldn’t be a threat. It's not what this club was built on!” One of the men fired.
Giovanni looked at him, with interesting glare. “Really? You can leave if you want to then. This thing isn’t compulsory. You are free to do what you want,” he muttered.
The man groaned inwardly and got up. “Fine, I’m leaving. I won’t be a part of your plan anyways and I’m seriously going to inform Jamal of your hidden plan,” he threatened as he walked towards the door.
A gunshot was heard suddenly. The man was forced to a sudden stop. A wince escaped him before he fell to the floor and blood rushed out from the hole in his head.
Everyone gasped in shock, and disorder came upon the men in the room.
“This is a disaster!”
“This is not going to be good!”
Everyone let out their complaints at the same time and it resulted in noise.
“silent!” Giovanni yelled suddenly, with an angry expression.
Everyone went silent immediately. “I wasn’t asking anyone,” he stated.
Well, if anyone seriously wanted to go against Giovanni, they shouldn’t have appeared in the meeting that night.
“Grey is dead and the sooner you accept that, the better. We are having a billionaire meeting soon and I will be the new president, with or without your help. But then, would you prefer to die in this case or not? That should be your focus. And I will help you if you want,” he uttered.
Martin nodded, feeling happy in himself. He never liked Grey anyways.
“So, any objections?” Giovanni asked suddenly, a smile suddenly appearing on his face. “You can leave like the other man. You might just be forced to go to heaven ahead of me.”
No one could talk at this moment.
