You told us back then that the human enhancement serum was on the verge of its final breakthrough, and that we would secure massive military orders, surpassing Stark Industries in no time."
"But based on what we know now, this was a complete and utter lie. You were committing fraud!"
"Giving up on the almost-complete human enhancement serum to research some super healing serum? My god, what were you thinking?"
"We don't want to play house with you anymore, so we've decided to sell the company!"
"You can't do this!"
"No, we can! After a board vote, we unanimously agreed to remove you—oh no, to remove that idiotic yellow-skinned monkey!"
"It just occurred to me, Norman, you don't even deserve to be here with us. You're no longer the chairman, nor the largest shareholder, just a pathetic, deluded, low-level employee!"
"We don't need to tell you anything else. You're not worthy!"
"Now, go call that man over. We'll inform him again… immediately! Right now!"
"Oh really? Who wants to inform me?"
Aaron kicked open the door with a bang and swaggered to the conference table.
He ignored the "elites" present and walked straight to his seat.
It was at the head of the conference table, the chairman's seat.
At this moment,
"Who gave you permission to sit in my seat?"
Aaron looked at the clueless elite and smiled benignly.
"You're no longer…"
"Get out!"
Aaron's smile gradually turned cold.
For some reason, the person sitting felt the surrounding temperature suddenly rise, and he found it difficult to breathe!
His forehead was covered in sweat, though he didn't know when it started!
Damn it, this isn't a movie set!!
He looked left and right. The others also noticed his abnormality and looked at him with confusion. This guy, he's too cowardly!
That Eastern man looked quite young. Did he really have such a terrifying aura?
Seeing this, the elite with the highest shares besides Aaron, ashamed and hurried, got up and scurried away.
Aaron looked at the soaked chair with a disgusted expression.
"Successful socialite? Heh!"
As these words fell, everyone felt insulted.
Aaron kicked the chair away in disgust, and Felicia, understanding, quickly pulled over another chair.
"Bastard, what do you mean by that? Are you insulting us?"
Aaron, still standing, smiled, then told Norman to stand up.
The others scoffed, thinking, 'Is that all? You know fear too?'
However, the next second,
Aaron looked around, "Don't misunderstand. What I mean is, everyone here is trash!"
Then, ignoring the livid faces of those present, he said coldly:
"I now declare that you are all out!"
"I will acquire all the shares you hold at market price."
"Now, who's in favor, who's against!"
PS: New book uploaded, please give flowers, monthly tickets, and rating tickets!!!!!
The picture is still the secretary (who auditioned for Wonder Woman), there's a chance it won't pass review.
Chapter 23: I have no mortal enemies, because none of them live past the next day.
"I object!"
As soon as Aaron finished speaking, a fat man with gold-rimmed glasses stood up.
"Your position as chairman has not been unanimously approved by the board of directors; it's merely a private agreement between you and Norman Osborn."
"Furthermore, the combined shares of all of us are enough to vote you out of your position. From now on, you are no longer the CEO of Osborn Group!"
Before he could finish, Aaron gave him a calm glance.
Instantly, this social elite felt a chill run through his body, and he began to tremble uncontrollably!
Soon, he felt his hands and feet stiffen, his blood seemed to stop flowing, and even his thoughts seemed to cease movement.
He glanced out the window, the sun was high in the sky, how could this be!
Seeing the man's miserable state, the person who had been told to "get out" earlier felt a pang of sympathy.
However, he showed no expression on his face, but inwardly, he chuckled with schadenfreude.
If everyone is embarrassed, then I'm not special.
Seeing this, the others exchanged glances, looking at Aaron with surprise and uncertainty.
Someone hesitated for a moment and stood up, "Mr. Aaron, you can certainly acquire our shares, but at least your offer must be higher than that of Horizon Air…"
Another person also stood up and added: "At least it should be higher than Vanguard Technologies, Hammer Technologies…"
"You still haven't grasped the situation."
Aaron slowly sat down, tapping his fingers lightly on the table leg, a smile playing on his lips, "I wasn't negotiating just now, I was informing you! You have no choice!"
He cast a cold gaze, and the two who had stood up to speak for the other shareholders felt one as if falling into an ice cellar, the other as if being exposed under a scorching furnace!
Soon, one shivered with cold, while the other constantly tugged at his collar, drenched in sweat.
The others, even more, turned slightly pale, feeling only nausea, dizziness, and headaches.
Aaron seemed to possess a powerful aura that made everyone feel different degrees of distinct oppressive force.
Damn it, where did this guy come from? Why could he make them almost breathless with just a glance!
The board member who was told to "get out" could no longer bear this terrifying pressure; he even felt an urge to urinate.
He couldn't hold it in anymore!!
"Mr. A-Aaron! Actually, I think your proposal is quite good."
"After all, Osborn Group's stock is plummeting right now, and for you to acquire our shares now is quite generous to us. No matter what others say, I am willing to sign the agreement right now!"
Aaron nodded in satisfaction, giving a look to Felicia who was still bewildered.
Norman reacted first, quickly instructing his subordinates to print the contracts.
He was still a bit confused, what was wrong with these guys? Did Aaron's gaze really have such a strong oppressive feeling?
Just one look, and the strong-willed board of directors surrendered, it was simply unheard of!
The first person to give in, the one who scurried away, immediately felt the pressure around him vanish.
He… he was alive!
He wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked down, and saw that his suit and trousers were completely soaked with sweat, as if he had just climbed out of a swimming pool.
What the hell!
He disregarded his image and quickly grabbed the water glass on the table, downing it in one gulp.
Norman thoughtfully had someone pour him water.
He drank cup after cup, finally feeling comfortable.
"Um… I also agree with your proposal! I'm willing to sell all my shares!"
"I agree too!"
"I… me too!"
Aaron, seeing this, waited for a moment, then continued, "Very good, for those who agreed earlier, the transaction will proceed as I said. For the rest of you…"
"I'm sorry, I will acquire your shares, but they will be calculated according to the index at the time of the transaction. I suppose… you wouldn't object, would you?"
Aaron's seemingly consultative demeanor sent shivers down the spines of the remaining people!
Monster, this guy is a monster!
"Of, of course!"
What could they do? They could only agree with tears in their eyes.
Accustomed to a life of luxury, how could they endure the sudden low and high temperatures, along with the triple assault of high-frequency ultrasound?
"Very good! It seems everyone has happily reached a consensus, I'm very pleased!"
"Norman, has everything been recorded? The board of directors unanimously approved my resolution. Sign the contracts with them, exactly as I said."
Aaron, seeing that the matter was resolved, no longer lingered, leaving all the cleanup to Norman.
Norman was even more respectful; regarding the mysterious methods Aaron displayed, he felt nothing but admiration and awe.
His new boss was indeed more resourceful than him!
He had been in a fierce debate with these bastards all morning, talking until his mouth was dry, and they hadn't wavered at all.
But how long had Aaron been here? In a few quick moves, everything was settled!
Were the board members easy to talk to? That was absolutely a huge joke!
Before leaving, Aaron smiled and patted the scoundrel who had been spouting nonsense when he entered.
He didn't remember anyone else, but he distinctly remembered this scoundrel personally attacking him and saying some insulting things.
Aaron wasn't one to hold grudges, really! What was the point of holding grudges? His enemies never lived to see another day.
The latter's face was the palest; he had received the most "attention" just now.
With Aaron's pat, he instinctively hunched over, "S-sir? Is there anything you need?"
"Nothing, I just see a dark shadow on your forehead; it's an ominous sign!"
Aaron sincerely suggested, "I think you'd best go to the hospital. I understand medicine, and your health problem is very serious!"
"Ah?! I'll go immediately!"
The man quickly signed, then ran out as if avoiding a plague god.
He didn't take Aaron's words seriously, but somehow, every time he thought of Aaron's meaningful gaze, he felt uneasy, as if disaster was imminent.
"Damn it! I suddenly forgot I haven't had my private physical this month. Right, I need to go for my routine physical…"
He turned to contact a doctor, but halfway through, he suddenly fainted.
"Doctor! Doctor!!"
"Norman, do you remember that when your family's hereditary disease flares up, death follows quickly, right?"
On the other side, Aaron looked at Norman.
Norman seemed to recall something, "Yes, boss, if the body already has other ailments, once the disease flares up, death can occur on the same day!"
"Then I'm relieved."
Aaron smiled mysteriously.
He had taken the hereditary disease extracted from Norman, optimized its characteristics, multiplied it several times, and given it to that man just now.
Coupled with the previous high-frequency ultrasound, and the dual damage of ice and fire, he probably wouldn't need to make a personal trip.
Norman was puzzled. Wasn't he fine? Was Aaron reminding him that Harry's problem hadn't been solved yet, urging him to be more diligent and responsible?
With this thought, Norman immediately crossed out the only free time on his schedule.
And he told his secretary: "For the next month, you will be responsible for picking up and dropping off Harry. If he protests, tell him that everything I do is for his sake!"
"Understood, sir!"
