Chapter 180 The Shift(2)
"That will not happen," said a man who walked in from a broken glass window.
"Secretary Riv!" The men are shocked that the executive secretary of the president came in.
The men recovered from their shock.
Weber's eyes turned fierce and he asks,"What do you mean?!!"
Two more men walked in that shocked Weber's and others. One of them is a young man in his twenties, who is wearing a coat.
"Rosan and Philip Maywire?!!"
"What the hell are you doing here?! Are you in cahoots with them?! Aren't you afraid of Don?! You will end up in the streets, idiots!!" Shouted Weber.
Rosan, the young man, looks at Weber.
"Don is gone. I will be the new head of the family," said Rosan.
The men are shocked when they heard Rosan, then they sneered.
"What a big joke! You are just a bastard son! How can you replace Don?!!" Shouted Weber, then he looks at Philip Maywire.
"Why are you letting this bastard son spout nonsense?!" asked Weber to Philip.
Philip sighs as he looks at the heads of families and companies.
"You don't even know that someone can destroy us all. He made us compromise. That man is really making sense. Our world is facing a threat, and our wealth means nothing to invaders. Once they successfully invade, we will lose everything. Before we fight with ourselves, we must first eliminate the external threat," said Philip.
"What the fuck are you talking about?!!" shouted Weber.
"It means the families and companies' cooperation with Death Guild will be terminated. The shady business involving gangs and criminals will also be stopped. That is one of our agreements with that man," answered Rosan.
"Hahahaha! In your dreams bastard!! Why would we agree with that stupid agreement?!!" screamed Weber.
Rosan smiled when he heard Weber.
"We don't need your permission because your power will be shifted to someone who will replace your positions as heads of families soon," said Rosan.
"What?!!" The men are shocked. The situation is turning in a dangerous direction that they never thought before.
Weber's eyes turned bloodshot.
"Are you going to kill us?! Idiot! We have many connections! This will not be hidden and our allies will blow this up. Be ready to suffer severe consequences if you kill us!!"
Secretary Riv smiles when he heard Weber.
"That man is smart. He already expected the consequences if we were to make a move on you all. The allies you are expecting in the government will not come to your aid. We have black materials about them that will send them to jail, and they are happy to cooperate because that man offers a pie to them that they cannot refuse.
Don't worry, you will not die. If you cooperate with the transition, you can still enjoy living in luxury. Shifting of power will still happen even if you don't cooperate. It will only create some trouble and make the transition longer. If you remain stubborn and won't cooperate, we can send you to jail. We have materials on you that will put you behind bars for many years," said Riv.
Weber and the others are terrified. The cards in their hands are now useless, but they haven't completely believed what were told to them. They still have hope that Don Maywire and their allies will save them. Even if what they told them is true, at least their lives will not be threatened, and their positions as heads will be their remaining cards to bargain conditions. They are foxes, how can they easily give their positions? They will measure their tolerance and get the biggest bargain they can have, then make a comeback. They will lay low, observe the situation, make moves, and take back their position at the right time.
Webers and the others look at each other in the eyes. They seem to understand each other's thoughts.
Weber fiercely looks at Viel, who is calmly drinking tea, then he looks at Riv and the two Maywire.
"We don't believe what you said! Once Don and our allies come, I will make you regret what you all did!" shouted Weber.
Viel put down the tea cup after sipping.
"Put our guests in the rest house that we prepared. Don't neglect their well-being. They are not prisoners yet," ordered Viel to the PHA members.
"Yes, sir!" answered the PHA members.
Weber and the others grit their teeth when they heard Viel.
Viel and Riv sat together in a car.
Rosan and Philip walk toward a helicopter.
There are boulders and crashed cars around the area where the helicopter parks. It was caused by the fight between Viel and the hyperbeings.
A magic circle flashed beneath Rosan's feet, and then a wind carry him and Philip. They flew over boulders and crashed cars, then landed on the side of the helicopter.
Philip pilots the helicopter. They went to the mansion in secret, so Philip has to pilot the helicopter himself.
The rotor blade starts to rotate.
"Those men are still hoping for help to arrive," said Philip with chuckle.
"Don and them are too greedy and think too highly of themselves. They can't see the bigger picture, so that man chose to cooperate with us," said Rosan.
Philip nods and says,"That man, I'm wondering why he prepared to that extent. Only small things will matter to powerful humans that have the same strength as his."
The helicopter started floating, then flew away.
Rosan looks at the devastation caused by Viel, then he remembers the attack shown by the man that destroyed a barren mountain.
"The families and companies are needed for the country to function. We also possess combat strength, but that is useless against powers at the level of Viel and that man, Flame Swordsman," said Rosan, then he raised his right hand. A golden potion appears on his palm.
"Whatever reason he has, it is advantageous to us. With this, I will someday reach a strength at their level even if I can't find or pass a Trial of God.Then I will bring Flame Swordsman to a table and talk about new agreements that are more advantageous to us. Once the threat from outside of the world is gone, eliminating Flame Swordsman will be our next main agenda,"said Rosan.
Philip smiles when he heard Rosan.
"As expected of a descendant of Maywire," thought Philip.
They don't know that they can never reach the height that Edgar will reach in the future. They will remain obedient with their tails tuck between their legs.
Edgar included in the agreement to make golden potions for them, but they will provide the materials. It is a weakened version of the golden potion name Rainesun. Most of the materials that the families and companies are gathering are used for the cultivation of his family and dragon guards. He is also keeping materials for peripheral members under combat division that he will recruit later. The families and companies are working for the cultivation of his secret force, but they don't know that.
Edgar knows that carrots and sticks are a necessary method to make them cooperate. He made them sign a contract of promise to keep the rainesun potion a secret. Those who know it have already been tested by him. They will follow the agreement because of self interest and fear.
Meanwhile, Seanlu and Busca returned to the headquarters. Their hearts skipped a beat when they saw that the atmosphere in the lounge is not right.
