Just like how they predicted, a few hours later after the agreement, the Pata Corporation immediately held a board meeting.
Boris was sitting before all his shareholders with a grim expression.
"What is the meaning of this? What the heck did you do to incur the wrath of that maniac, Theodore Griffith?!" One of them suddenly stood up while slamming the table in anger.
"I don't even know." Boris widened his eyes in shock. "I also just got informed about this."
"I didn't do anything to him… Maybe it was all of you who did something to him and my Pata Corporation needed to take the hit." Boris attacked back while gritting his teeth, showing his anger.
However, one of them suddenly shouted and said, "It's because of you, Boris! Why did you even hide Agata from him?! It's her good fortune that a big figure like him has taken an interest in your daughter.
"If not because of you being very adamant in not marrying off your daughter, this won't happen."
Another person also rose and complained, "I have been given an ultimatum because of you. They're going to destroy everything if I don't back away. I don't care about the contract anymore. I will give you ten Billion Zils for breaching the contract. As long as my company can survive, I can get those ten Billion Zils again!"
Without hesitation, that man turned around and walked away.
"What the heck are you doing?" Boris shouted as his forehead was covered with sweat. He tried to stop him from leaving the door by locking the door with his Magic Power.
But the man felt offended and shouted, "Boris! I know that you are a Mythical Rank Expert, but you won't be able to keep me here even if you kill me.
"You're going to pay a huge price if you dare to kill me because you will lose all the trust of other shareholders."
Boris didn't take it as he said, "You're lying. There's still no proof that Theodore Griffith joined them."
The man snorted and opened his Skylink. He showed the contract between Theo and Carmelo. "This is enough proof."
The contract stated two things.
First, Theo would help the Safulli Group acquire the Pata Corporation by "all means."
Second, the Safulli Group would leave the Mota Family alone for two weeks after the acquisition and allowed him to do everything he wanted. In exchange, he wouldn't touch the Safulli Group and the Pata Corporation afterward.
The signature of Theo and Boris, along with the picture of them together, already proved that the document was authentic.
Boris' body trembled as he closed his eyes for a moment before retracting his Magic Power.
With this proof, if he killed that man, other shareholders would also leave the group whether they were allies or enemies. If he forced them to stay and agreed with him, they could just fake it until they could fight back.
So, the most reasonable approach would be letting him leave.
"Kh…" Another man was biting his lips as he remembered how Carmelo personally threatened him. If he didn't leave Pata Corporation, he would destroy his entire family, including his life.
Now that they had Theo, who could even do that much damage to the Czar, Carmelo's words weren't an empty threat anymore.
He gritted his teeth and sighed, "I am sorry. I will let you buy my price for a low price but… I need to leave the Pata Corporation."
Another person walked out of the room with his head down.
Boris was panting as if he was trying to calm his raging heart down.
"Instead of escaping, we should fight back. No matter what, it's not easy for the Safulli Group to destroy us. As long as I can ask for help, I should be able to handle this." Boris tried to calm the situation down.
But Theo's reputation seemed to be working a bit stronger as another guy stood up. "I will also leave the company too. I have a few other projects, so I can't afford to lose everything.
"I'm sure that you, as the CEO of this company, know what it means to have Theodore Griffith in your back. They will also target your company along with those who you work with." The guy let out a long sigh and left.
"Are you seriously scared of a kid?" Boris slammed the table and raised his voice. "No matter what, he's still an 18 years old kid! Aren't you overestimating him a little bit?
"We can still work this out as long as we unite. I should be able to ask the pope for another help. With this, we should be able to stop even that Theodore Griffith.
"If we collapse just by hearing his name, this just portrays how weak we are! This is going to affect your business too." Boris explained, raising their morale.
He somehow managed to stop others from leaving. However, it still hurt to see three out of 14 board members leave right after hearing Theo's name.
"This is a serious problem and I will make sure we can push through this." Boris gritted his teeth and continued. "Just give me two days. My daughter should be able to handle this."
"Why don't you just marry her off to Theodore Griffith? This problem will be solved and everyone will be happy."
"What did you say? Why don't you just send your daughters, granddaughters, or even your wife to be his sex slaves?" Boris shouted back.
The man didn't like it and stood up, entering a staring battle with Boris. Ultimately, he backed away and left while saying, "You have two days. If there's no hope, I'm leaving. I don't want my company to be affected by this."
"Kh." Boris pinched the bridge of his nose. To think that the meeting became heated with just a single mention about Theo's participation. "If you don't have a solution, you're dismissed."
With those words, a few of them immediately rose from their seats and left the room as they wanted to go back to their own company and prepared for the worst, leaving Boris to fend for himself alone.
However, it turned out four men still remained in the room, looking at Boris.
