Chapter 305 - 304: Challenging His Authority

After she had the call with Nathan, Eunji then dialed Mr. Laurent's number.

"Hello!" The man said on the other line.

"Good afternoon Mr. Laurent." She greeted him calmly.

"Good evening to you too, Agent D. What can I do for you?" He said as he cleared his throat.

"Just a gently inquiring about your team operation tomorrow. Are your people ready?" She asked.

"They're ready. Everything's set. I have already dispatched my most trusted men and they were in close contact with the local agency that I trusted would do the right thing and would capture the Luo brothers after this. They won't be able to evade this. Don't worry. They're the people that I trust." He reassured.

"Good. I'm also sending my men just in case the people in that agency you tapped up with would mess up and bite your hand."

"That's really not necessary but thank you." Mr. Laurent had confidence with his people.

"No. Thank you even if this is already out of your job description." She responded.

"Well, what's going on with the people in that country? They are getting involved in scandals from left to right." He commented making Eunji to be silent. He was clearly talking about the scandal that Nathan was getting involved with and so Eunji decided to not let him know that she's related to the issue because of Nathan.

They talked for a little more before they ended the call.

Now that everything's set. She hoped that everything would go according to their plan.

After the call, Eunji decided to pack up as she would be visiting a place which she was very familiar when she was still young.

A little bird also whispered in her ear that the man she was looking for was in that place, too. So at the end of this trip, she would be hitting two birds with one stone.

Yes, she's not in Seoul at the moment but in Geneva, Switzerland. But she would be flying back tomorrow if everything goes according to her plan.

She's currently staying in a small property that she had won in a poker tornament last year.

She never thought she would be coming back in this country after many years.

She went out of her room wearing her ghost mask, a black backpack and a motorcycle helmet she tucked on her left hand.

She was wearing a black undershirt underneath her leather jacket. A pair of black jeans and combat boots completed her look.

Eunji then went into the garage where all of the vehicles that the previous owner of the property owned where being kept. From the BMW to a Ferrari everything was arranged according to price.

Eunji walked to them and touched their hood one by one. It was like she was choosing the lucky car of the day.

Even one of the servants/caretakers who happened to be in the garage at the moment was also anticipating on which car she would pick to use.

However, Eunji ditched these cars and walked towards the motorcycle section.

Eunji had already decided to not drive a car but one of the Ducati instead. Her over all outfit had already given it that she would be riding a big bike and not one of these sports cars.

These cars were not modified according to her demand specifications. Whereas this Ducati, she had made some tuning adustments the moment she had arrived yesterday.

Eunji immediately hopped on and started the engine. She then gracefully put on the helmet and started speeding out of the house.

It took her an hour drive to reach to Montreux.

Though she once lived here, she didn't get the chance to explore this place much before since she had always stayed in her dad's laboratory which was hidden to the public and the local government here.

Master Liu told her that if she wanted to look for answers, she had to start looking here.

Eunji drove closer to this semi-abandoned looking building from afar.

She knew it was not actually abandoned despite the years that her dad had been dead because Mike Roland had been coming in this place from time to time.

And as expected, she could see CCTV cameras outside the building.

"Alora, hack the system of my father's laboratory." She instructed.

"I'm on it!" Alora echoed in her inner earphone.

While she was busy getting inside the building, on Nathan's side, he was busy talking to his legal and PR Team about the right thing that they should do for damage control on the succeeding days.

Because of the scandal, Nathan had decided to stay in the NJ Holding building for the meantime until the issue had subsided.

But then midway on their conversation, he received another news that someone was trying to create more trouble for him even inside his own company building.

Because of the scandal, the members of the Board of Directors had booked an emergency meeting even with his absence.

And he was willing to sue them for doing so behind his back.

It was very clear that those members of the board who had selfish motives against him were using this on their advantage to start questioning his capabilities as the Chairman, a Chief Executive and as a leader.

This made him to be disappointed and mad to them whom he had given his trust all these years.

He had allowed them to be in that position. He had personally chosen them himself. But it tuned out that they were swallowed by greed and selfish intentions in just a short span of time.

Meanwhile, inside the conference room, they were busy having an argument on what to do with regards to this matter.

They didn't want to suffer loses because of this scandal that Nathan's companies were facing.

"It's better for Chairman Bai to step down as the Chairman of NJ Holding Corp." One of the directors with the surname Gu raised his suggestion.

"Really? Then who would fill in his position? You? Ha! Stop making me laugh please." A female director who was in favor with Nathan defended him since he was not there.

"I had full trust in Nathan's capabilities that he can turn the tables within next week." She added.

"But what if he can't? Both corporations under him are now in trouble. The Bai Corp and us in NJ Holdings are in a tight spot! I know you're close with Chairman Bai since your son is his best friend but being biased won't help us from not losing our money." Director Gu challenged.

Yes, the woman defending Nathan was none other than Madame Mo.

She was thankful that she's in the city when the scandal broke out or she was sure that no one would have a strong will to defend Nathan in front of these people.

Especially since the leader of the oposition strongly insisted that they were right. That it's for the better for Nathan to step down to save the reputation of the company.

More like to save their money.

But even before the argument heated up, the door was kicked open with a bang making everyone to gasp in both shock and surprise.

"What's the meaning of this?!" Nathan angrily asked as soon as he barged inside the conference room with Marco following behind him.

Everyone immediately became silent especially when they saw the blazing anger in Nathan's eyes.

They instantly knew that they had offended the Satan.

"Nathan boy! Thankfully you have come just in time! These people was planning to snatch your throne." Madame Mo dramatically said making Nathan to look at her.

"Thank you for informing me Auntie." He said softly with gratitude.

"Don't thank me yet! You still have to make these people shut their mouths. How dare they attempt to replace you when all they did is to count the dividend shares that you had helped to generate for us through your wise management decisions?" Madame Mo said with full of righteousness in her tone.

"Don't worry Auntie, I will." He said making Madame Mo to sit down back on her seat and paid attention to everything that would happen.

Deep down, she felt bad for Nathan especially when she saw his weary face. Nathan must have been really in a difficult position.

She also criticized her son for not helping Nathan in solving this matter.

It's not because Mo Jing-sheng didn't want to but because Nathan didn't want his friends to. Nathan didn't want their names to be implicated.

The only help that Nathan had accepted from them was the free hospitalization of the victims being admitted on their Mo Hospital branches.

But as for the legal matters and the authorities, Nathan wanted them to be hands off.

"I'm going to ask all of you again. What's the meaning of this?!" He asked them again and furiously and looked at especially to Director Gu.

"Do you really think that because I'm busy appeasing and comforting the victims, that I would neglect this? Never!" He added.

"You left us with no choice Chairman! Instead of reassuring us that we won't be affected with this, you were missing the entire half of the day. You didn't bother calling an emergency meeting with the board to discuss your solutions." Since he was being targeted by Nathan, he decided to speak out in behalf of the opposing party.

"You may be the Chairman of the board but you are also liable to answer us especially when everything arises because of your mismanagement!" He added making those who supported him to nod their heads in support.

"Chairman Bai, you can't blame director Gu. You can't expect us to let you do what you want just because you're the Chairman." One of Director Gu's supporter added.

"Are you both done?" He interrupted as he had enough.

"The fact that I'm the Chairman means I have the biggest responsibility. But I'm not liable to prove myself to any of you!" He started.

"If you really want to force me to step down, you better make sure your votes outmatched mine." He said and turned around to face the door.

"Media play won't do me much harm Director Gu. You're already busted so if I were you, better sell your shares before I force to buy you out!" With that, Nathan left the room with a bang.

With the number of shares Nathan owned in the company, they could not bid him to step down even if they combined all of their shares.

Later on, they realized that going against him would be harmful on their finances as they had lost the privelige that only a board of director under Nathan's company could enjoy.

Nathan forced to sell back their shares to him.

He forced to buy them out!
