Chapter 6176
After seeing the goddess with an exquisite figure smiling, Harvey let out a sigh.
“You’re kidding me. Did you know what happened there?”
Judging from the fact that Yvonne telling the staff to send in the dishes, it was clear she knew everything that happened. If not, she wouldn’t even ask Harvey such a random question.
“I was just worried about you being too immersed in the outskirts and forgetting how we do things here in Wolsing.”
Harvey looked at Ray as if he was begging for help.
Ray kept his eyes glued on his phone, as if there was something interesting on it.
Harvey’s eyes twitched; he then put on a stern expression.
“Let’s just talk about the Country H Commercial Group for now, Yvonne,” he said, desperately trying to change the subject.
“We need to do a good job about this, right? Tell me what’s going on in the organization!”
Yvonne glared at Harvey for a moment; when the dishes were all sent over, she poured a bowl of soup and handed it to Harvey before finally speaking up.
“We’re in the calm before the storm.
“The chairman, Elric Stanton, is about to retire after two weeks.
“Since he didn’t train anyone to eventually take his seat, this means he isn’t planning to get involved with the organization after his retirement.
“However, his son and grandson didn’t think that way.
“I heard his son had been contacting his old subordinates, trying to use favors to get himself to the top.
“Other than him, the vice chairman, Leighton, had been quite interested in the position as well.
“Elric was in charge of many things in the organization, but Leighton had been the one planning the details. Because of this, the chance of him rising to power to quite high.
“The other vice chairmen are prominent figures with backgrounds from both the top ten families and the five hidden families.
“In any case, a lot of forces are planning to take the throne right now.”
Harvey took a bite of his food, looking curious.
“If I remember correctly, I was already chosen has the new chairman, right? Why would those people cause any trouble after that? Are they not afraid of me lashing out?”
Yvonne sighed.
“There are two reasons.
“Number one, they believe a man who was chosen on accident wouldn’t actually take the position. In their minds, you’d most likely resign.
“Number two, even if you muster your courage to take the position, they believe they’d have ways to make you falter since your background here is pretty weak.
“In any case, they’re looking down on us!”
Bam!
Ray slammed the table.
“We can’t let them do this to us, Sir York! With your word, I’ll get my boys to raze their damn houses!”
“What are you saying? Remember, this is Wolsing-the most prestigious city in the country.”
Harvey glared at Ray.
“Looks like things are going to get pretty interesting after all…”
