When Risnorth was at the helm, no one raised this question or even considered it.
Until Risnorth's death, all sorts of villains emerged, vying for a piece of meat. They all wanted to carve a significant piece of this vast business empire.
Among them was the high-ranking official whom Anfrick had previously seen in the archives.
After Risnorth's death, he was the first to suppress the news of the secret room.
He also immediately and decisively arranged for people to embezzle the inheritance left by Risnorth.
He was very skilled at plundering the entire family.
"Have you arranged everything?!"
At the white palace-like government building in the central area of Yorknew City.
At this moment, in a key room of this white palace, a gray-haired but energetic old man rested his hands on a specially made sofa chair.
With a solemn expression, he looked at the secretary standing in front of him.
"Everything has been arranged."
The handsome secretary, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a suit, bowed and replied: "Everything has been arranged with the police. The necessary arrangements and promotions have been made, and those who need intimidation have been properly intimidated."
"No one will leak the secret of the secret room."
"And I've already had the secret room destroyed. It will never appear again in this world."
"Within the Mom's Help Foundation, we have found Risnorth's cousin and his family."
"They will appear as one of the legitimate heirs in the battle for the Mom's Help Foundation inheritance."
"We will be their strongest and most powerful backing and will ensure that they encounter no problems."
"Then, once they have seized a majority of the Mom's Help Foundation's shares, we can attempt to take over the entire company."
"In that case..."
The secretary with gold-rimmed glasses bent even lower: "Everything will be under our control."
"Very good..."
A hint of satisfaction flashed in the eyes of the old man. He had always been quite satisfied with this secretary.
At least, he had been running around for him, doing a lot of things.
And every task was handled and resolved perfectly.
That's the difference between an ordinary secretary and an exceptional one.
He had heard that Risnorth had gone through several secretaries himself.
Such an important position was being passed between multiple people; what a joke.
For matters of such secrecy and importance, if not absolutely necessary, it should be handled by one person from start to finish.
From that alone, the old man held nothing but contempt for Risnorth.
"A deranged fool who lost his son and went mad... Utterly twisted in mind and heart."
The old man's expression eased slightly, clearly in good spirits.
"Well, since you're gone now, I'll finish the unfulfilled work you left behind."
He even thought about opening a bottle of red wine to celebrate the fortune he was about to swallow whole.
That would add another hefty sum to his already lucrative pension...
Well, it's understandable that he feels that way; after all, he has held a high position for many years.
Everything seemed to be under control, with no major disruptions.
So, popping champagne at halftime was understandable.
However… The last man who had felt satisfied with his secretary's work was Risnorth.
And the grass on his grave had already started to grow.
Ring! Ring! Ring!
Just as the old man was about to tell the secretary to find a bottle of red wine, the phone on his desk suddenly rang.
"Hmm?"
The old man raised an eyebrow and immediately answered the call.
"Hello... What?!!"
Suddenly, his expression changed.
He turned abruptly and looked at the TV behind him.
The secretary with gold-rimmed glasses was an expert at reading people's expressions.
Seeing his boss acting like this, and even looking at the TV, he immediately picked up the remote and started changing the channels.
He flipped through until landing on a popular live talk show with high ratings.
"Stop!"
The old man finally uttered these words.
He then stared intently at the figure speaking on screen.
Five minutes ago.
This social forum program officially began.
The host warmed up the audience, then announced the theme of the forum.
He also invited several well-known guests.
Undoubtedly, the topic of discussion was the impact of Risnorth's death on the world.
And those few... Among the renowned guest experts was Anfrick.
In fact, the entire television station had received certain directives and arrangements from higher-ups for this forum program.
They were to quickly determine the circumstances surrounding Risnorth's death.
And the guests invited this time were all people aligned with the government's side.
Especially Anfrick, who was privately ridiculed by everyone as a lapdog raised by politicians.
Originally, this live broadcast was foolproof.
But what no one expected was this: "I think there's something very strange about Risnorth's death this time."
As soon as he started, Anfrick's statement shocked everyone.
No, man.
Where's the lapdog raised by politicians?!
How did you suddenly change your species... No, change your personality?!
Just as the audience was bewildered, and the others were still confused and unable to react, Anfrick immediately threw out a slew of evidence: "Risnorth isn't as noble and great as everyone imagines. He's a complete lunatic and a twisted psychopath!!"
"I have here, by sheer luck, a lot of evidence regarding Risnorth's crimes. You should all take a good look at this!"
As soon as he finished speaking, before the director could react, Anfrick bolted off the stage and began plastering the large sheets of evidence he had prepared directly onto the camera lens.
Host: "...?"
Program crew: "...?"
TV station: "...?"
The audience and those watching the live broadcast: "...?"
By the time they finally came to their senses, Anfrick had already sprinted out of the studio and vanished without a trace.
Woohoo! Damn it, that felt good!!!
As for the days ahead, being hunted by powerful officials... Well, he had to deal with that later!!
And so, as the faces of the hosts and guests turned pale, and the director and TV staff looked utterly stricken, the entire live broadcast scene exploded into chaos.
Among the evidence Anfrick revealed were documents implicating a very high-ranking, influential figure.
That had completely gone beyond what any of them were capable of handling!!
