Chapter 63: Backstabbing within the Council
"Hydra will never allow outsiders to be leaders, you must pay the price for killing Calvin"
Thomas said categorically that he had recovered from the shock and was amazed at the strength of the other party.
I also know that if I want to keep my position, I have to unite everything else.
Judging from the fact that this young man only killed Calvin, he just wanted to control the council, not to kill them.
In order to avoid panic, he had to stand up and face George with a tough stance.
"And what price is Mr. Thomas prepared to pay me?" George glanced around and said slowly, "Do you guys think the same way?" ”
The rest of the people were silent, and they who had been in the political and business worlds for many years could not see the situation on the scene.
They all understand that the truth comes from their mouths, and if they take the wrong side, this kind of consequences is not something they can bear.
George looked around and saw that no one spoke, so he had to start the roll call.
He really didn't want to kill them all, and that was the easiest way to do it.
But the subsequent gains will be greatly reduced.
"What do you think, Mr. Jones?"
Hugh Jones, who has been silent, is watching Calvin's tragic death, and how can he still have the courage to stand up for his good friend just now.
Hearing George's name, the thigh muscles in his trousers couldn't help but start to tremble.
I was already guessing wildly about George's intentions.
He struggled to maintain his composure and said, "I think it's time for the organization to absorb fresh blood, and Mr. George's strength is obvious to all." ”
"Does Mr. Jones support me as a leader?" George watched the old fox talk a little bit of soup, and continued to ask.
"This...."
"Enough, George, force is not popular, we can ignore your efforts to kill Calvin, and welcome you to join. I can even groom you as the next leader. ”
Thomas didn't wait for Jones to reply, he quickly stopped him, he knew that no one could hold out for long under the threat of death.
It was clear that all the people were now afraid of George's force and would not want to be a second Calvin.
His words can be regarded as a release of goodwill to George, and he made his own conditions.
"Do I want to thank you for your kindness?" George laughed, and suddenly his gaze stopped at a young man in the corner.
"Malik Wilfred, won't you say a word? Is this your best chance to comfort your father? ”
Malik, who was named, looked shocked, he originally had the attitude of watching the show, and he didn't care if he became a leader.
He didn't have much say in the council, but George's words brought back his childhood memories.
It was Isedan, Thomas, and Roxon who united to hide from his father the time of the Great Depression.
As a result, the family that was originally the leader of the council went bankrupt overnight, and his father committed suicide with hatred.
He also lived on the streets, lived a poor life, and saw the dark side of the world.
Even if he desperately returned to the council, he has been careful to hide his ambitions.
His breath grew rapid, as if weighing the pros and cons, and his eyes kept wandering between Thomas and George.
Seeing Malik, who was still entangled, George said calmly, "The Malik family, the ancient British aristocracy, is one of the founders of the Hydra Council. ”
"Don't you want to reforge the glory of your family?"
This sentence was like a heavy hammer, smashing Wilfred's heart, and the words of family glory kept echoing in his mind.
When he returned to the council, there was not a day that he did not dream of fulfilling four words. It's just that the rough life makes him have to live cautiously.
If you think about it, today's situation is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
He wasn't sure what George meant by saying these words to him, was he trying to put him on the throne? But the ambition in my heart has been stimulated.
Turning into a scorching flame, slowly devouring his sanity, his mind only thinking about seizing it, seizing this opportunity.
"Mr. George, are you telling the truth?"
"What did you say, Wilfred? Do you want to betray? "Thomas sensed the situation on the pitch spiraling out of control.
As the initiator of the downfall of the Malik family, he knew what it would mean if Wilfred sided with George.
Unlike the Justices, Parliamentarians, and even the Media Tycoons.
Malik is a serious yellow flag, and his father is the founder of the Hydra Council.
If he came forward and said he wanted to compete for the leadership position, Thomas would have no excuse to refuse.
A meeting could only be convened to vote, but under George's oppression, he did not dare to guarantee that the rest would dare to risk their lives on his side.
"Of course, Wilfred, surrender to me, and you will get what you want." George didn't heed Thomas's shouting.
He chose and chosen, still thinking that Malik was his best target to support as a puppet.
It not only keeps the integrity of the council intact, but also legitimately manages it.
Wilfred was startled by Thomas's at first, and his perennial fear of the old man made him hesitate for the first time.
But George's words ignited his ambition again.
The mind kept thinking, the painful memories kept pulling, a pair of eyes were bloodshot, and he yelled at Thomas with a hideous face
"Enough, Thomas! Wasn't it bad enough for you to kill our family back then? I am also a core member of the Board of Directors, and I have now decided to reconvene to elect a new leader! ”
After saying these words, he seemed to have secretly released the grievances of these years, and restored the calmness and sanity of the aristocratic son.
Then he walked up to George. Gracefully kneeling down and taking his left hand and saying, "The Malik family offers all their loyalty to you!" ”
After doing all this, he held his posture and waited until George's eyes motioned for him to slowly get up.
In the end, he still chose to believe in this terrifying young man, and if he missed this opportunity, he didn't know how long he would have to wait to return to the core of power.
Is it really going to boil the aged Thomas to death? Even if Thomas died, Hugh Jones would be in the way.
It's not as good as a stud, and even if this young man's strength can't drive Thomas away, he won't be afraid of Thomas's subsequent revenge with his strength.
George couldn't help but laugh as he looked at Malik, who was following the aristocratic oath of allegiance to the ancient etiquette.
"Mr. Thomas, is it time to open the vote?"
Thomas sat down in his chair with a dejected ass, and his worst fears came to him.
His gloomy gaze swept over everyone's faces, trying to make sure how many people would be on his side when the vote was to be held.
At the same time, he was warning the rest of the board before he compromised.
"As you wish, Mr. George."
