Chapter 1318 - 1318 Change of Helmsman
1318 Change of Helmsman
Norman’s face was incredibly gloomy now. Sitting in the master seat and watching his family berate him, he wanted to kill people.
“Atrocious!” He smashed an ashtray against the floor, shattering with a loud bang, causing the voices of opposition to cease.
“I am the legitimate helmsman of the Holmes. I’ve worked hard for the family for years and made countless contributions, turning the Holmes into a second-tier family from a small one! Now that something so trivial has happened, you want to strip me of my position? How brazen of you!
“I refuse to step down. I want to see what you can do to me!”
Norman glowered at everyone in the conference room, gritting his teeth in fury. These ingrates!
If it wasn’t for him, the Holmes wouldn’t be enjoying their current glory. The people sitting here wouldn’t be so prestigious either.
Richie’s expression darkened, and he narrowed his eyes. “Norman, don’t make us do this the hard way! Now, everyone wants you to step down, so stop glorifying yourself and bringing up the past!
“The reason the Holmes could achieve our current accomplishments wasn’t only due to you! But the reason why the family suffered huge losses today is entirely due to you and your son! In this case, who are you to continue monopolizing the position of helmsman?”
Then he stood up and shouted, “Come in!”
Immediately, the door of the conference room was suddenly slammed open, and around 60 armed and burly men charged in and surrounded Norman.
Norman was shocked, but the moment he realized that these experts were unfamiliar, he pointed at Richie and hollered, “How dare you nurture your own forces?!”
As the helmsman of the Holmes, he had always understood their elite forces well, and he also knew that Richie had a group of personal subordinates by his side. But he had never seen these people before. Clearly, Richie had hidden his forces very well!
Richie smiled smugly. “Norman, so what if I have my own forces? You don’t have any other choice now, do you?”
Norman gritted his teeth with all his might. The current situation really didn’t allow him to resist anymore.
Richie was clearly well prepared. If he didn’t step down of his own accord, Richie would definitely force him to step down. If this happened, it would be uncertain if he could survive.
He had lost this battle!
“Fine, since you want the position of helmsman, you can take over the mess that the Holmes are facing now!” Norman said furiously, then turned around and left.
This time, no one stopped him. Even the experts that Richie called in voluntarily made way for him.
Finally hearing what he wanted to hear from Norman, Richie laughed. “Norman has already left. Now, I’m the new helmsman of the Holmes. Does anyone have any objections?”
What a joke. Richie’s people were still in the conference room. Who would dare to have any objections?
Besides, Richie was their only choice now.
Everyone nodded one after another. “I don’t have any objections. Congratulations, our new helmsman!”
“Congratulations, our new helmsman!”
“Congratulations, our new helmsman!”
…
Everyone congratulated Richie one after another, and the conference room was full of joy.
As for what Norman, the former helmsman, was thinking, no one cared.
They didn’t care at all about a helmsman who couldn’t bring them any benefits and would only cause major losses.
Meanwhile, Norman left the conference room listlessly and returned to his mansion in a terrible mood.
While resenting Richie for taking advantage of the situation to snatch the position of helmsman away mercilessly, he also hated his family for being ungrateful and heartless. He also hated his son and daughter-in-law for causing him so much trouble.
But Lucas was the one he hated the most!
If it wasn’t for Lucas, the Holmes wouldn’t have lost half of their assets, let alone compensate him another 2.2 billion dollars, causing him to be removed from the position of helmsman in such a humiliating manner!
“All of this is Lucas Gray’s fault! Damn you! I won’t let you off!” Norman cursed through gritted teeth. At the same time, he furiously smashed everything in his room against the floor.
“Are you Norman Holmes, the helmsman of the Holmes family?” A cold and abrupt voice suddenly sounded in the empty room.
Norman was startled and frantically turned around, only to discover that three strangers had appeared beside the window of his bedroom. They were incredibly muscular and obviously not to be provoked.
“Who are you?” Norman asked in a shaky voice while trying his best to suppress his fear.
Since they could quietly break into his bedroom, they were definitely martial arts experts.
Norman was now afraid that they had been sent to assassinate him.
He wondered if Richie, Lucas, or his other enemies had sent these experts.
One of the three figures took a step forward. He was decked out in branded apparel and exuded a noble aura. He was likely the leader of the three.
The other two people standing behind him were wearing long-sleeved white robes and gave off a vague aura that made others too scared to look them in the eye.
Experts!
The three of them were extremely powerful experts!
Norman immediately made this judgment. At the same time, he raised his vigilance to the highest level, his face full of tension.
The burly man seemed to notice Norman’s fear and sneered. “My last name is Hamilton.”
Hamilton? People from the Hamilton family? Could it be the royal Hamilton family?! This name caused Norman’s expression to change drastically, and he immediately asked, “Are… are you Jensen Hamilton, the third son of the Hamilton’s helmsman?”
Rumor had it that Jensen was a martial arts prodigy whose skills were almost on par with those of the Hamilitons’ experts. He was favored by the Hamiltons’ helmsman and was the most promising candidate for the next helmsman.
The man in front of him was noble, extremely skilled at martial arts, and had the last name Hamilton. Didn’t this match all the criteria?
Jensen nodded with a smile. “Yes, that’s me. Norman, you must be feeling extremely indignant to lose the position of helmsman, right?
“I can give you a chance to get back everything you’ve lost. It’s up to you if you want it or not.”
