Chapter 296 Another board meeting was held that afternoon, when Shaun was attacked even further. “Bullsh*t! Do you know how much of the forest has been burned? Each tree burned is money lost for us!”
When Ren stood up, Bryce and the others quieted down. There was apparently still respect for the master–level powerhouse.
Ren then spoke up. “Mr. Jupp, the investigation shows that the culprit is an energy–enhanced expert who controls his energy as well as a highly–skilled fighter.
“Mr. Cash has already asked for Admiralporium‘s intervention. I would like to ask you to be
patient.”
An older man asked, “Arson by an energy practitioner? When did we offend such a person?”
The other board members looked astonished, and a ghost of a smirk flashed in Bryce‘s eyes. Ren‘s support had come at a perfect time!Bryce said impassively, “As expected. I received credible news that Mr. Cash has offended Sir Osborn of Springside. “And I didn‘t believe it at first. I do now!” The old man was alarmed. “What? Shaun Cash, you offended Sir Osborn? Have you lost your mind?!”The other board members looked just as terrified, horror filling their eyes. Ren furrowed his brows. Damn it! It seemed that he had said the wrong thing.Bryce then asked out loud, “Mr. Cash, for the sake of the company and our mutual benefit, please resign from your position as chairman to prevent the rest of us from being implicated. “I believe that you wouldn‘t drag all of us down with you. Right?”Shaun scowled. Bryce was there to force him to relinquish his position today! it seemed that the Osborns were really behind the forest fire and Bryce had managed to curry favor with them.The old man had a stern expression as he ordered, “Shaun Cash, resign from your position as chairman right now and let Bryce take over. I don‘t want to die with you!”
“Mr. Searle, you‘re old friends with my father, so I trusted you the most,” Shaun said.Raven Searle‘s gaze was aloof. “Trust? How much is that worth?”Another board member spoke up. “Shaun, quit playing the pity card. Resign! If you don‘t, we‘ll vote on the spot to remove you from your position!”Unable to take it, Ren fought back. “Mr. Cash has never mistreated any of you!”In spite of this, Raven and the other company veterans only kept quiet, their faces cold. Bryce had a victorious grin on his face as he looked at Shaun gloatingly.
Shaun shook his head with a bitter smile. The Osborns and Sir Osborn!Before he could say more than that, a voice rang out from the door. “Uncle Shaun.”when Kayson entered, Shaun was taken aback before he asked in surprise, “Kayson? What brings you here?”Kayson smiled. “I heard that you‘ve run into some trouble recently, so I came to see if I could be of any help.”Warmth pushed in Shaun‘s heart. These men, whom he had worked with for years, could not even compare to a young man like Kayson, whom he had known for less than ten days.“Hahaha. Well, who‘s this young man who‘s overflowing with confidence?” Bryce could not help cackling. What a brazen young man who had barely stopped breastfeeding!
