A Few Weeks Later
It took William a few weeks before he could completely buy off all of the stocks and businesses that the Violet Boeli Group had.
It was because of the fact that he also wanted to buy the ones that were taken by the banks for its debts and also because there were other people who wanted to buy the stocks too.
So in their way, they did a few things to stop William from buying it by raising the price or simply giving him more trouble but Naomi was a strong minded woman who was adamant on finishing her job no matter the difficulty.
Because of her, now they were able to celebrate the fact that William has now completely taken over The Violet Boeli's place, their once rival.
William stood with a couple of people, mainly Delmar, Naomi and a few other of his associates that had the main hand in the process of acquiring the Violet Boeli project.
He smiled at them and brought his drink up high as he said, "Well Congratulations to those in this room that had accomplished this hard work. Each and every one of you had a different mark but the same objective of buying The Violet Boeli Group. Something that not only us but many were on it too and only because of you was this possible.
The job wasn't in anyway easy when others were doing their best to bring you down but all of you stood tall and was able to accomplish something that makes me proud and would have made my father a lot prouder." His words coupled with his charming face brought a different atmosphere to the room as the people were affected by it.
"So Congratulations to you all... You have done an impossible job that would only make TRUST raise higher." William said as all of them cheered him with their drinks.
"HEAR HEAR" All of them shouted at the same moment.
William smiled and talked with them for a while before he removed himself from the people who could only talk about business related things even when he had given them a major party.
He walked out the hallway as he looked at the pictures and arts hanging on the walls. He stopped for a moment as he gave a look at the photo of Royce with his family, he was with his wife and children's as he gave a clear smile.
William didn't linger for long as he walked on again before going through a different door and walking inside a large room. He stopped and looked at the room which was the main office for Royce and also the place where he shot himself.
He looked at the tapes that said 'Police Tape – Do Not Disturb The Crime Scene' wrapped around a few places in the room but mostly at the desk. He went towards the desk, removing the police tape and looking at it.
He searched for some kind of evidence or remains of the man that was his enemy once but found none as it seemed like the cleaning crew had done their job well.
"Everything of theirs is ours now."
"Hmm..." William thought, "Tear down that building and recreate a larger... better one with great security and better equipment for the everyone."
"You wanna make a business office there?" Delmar asked.
"Not just any but our main. We don't have a main building yet other than the one over at that remote place but that's too bland. This place will be our main spot." William said envisioning the place already, "Make a large 'T' at the highest point, make sure to add lights to it as well so that in night it can glow like in red... like blood."
"Alright, can do." Delmar nodded, "Then what?"
"What is there?"
"Well... in the few days we were only covering the areas related with the Violet Boeli Group... which is no more and we have also taken over every one of their businesses too, so we don't have a main objective anymore." Delmar said, "Now do we get back to what we were doing before – Just Working or do we do something new?"
William thought about his words hard before looking him in the eyes for the first time since the conversation, "The Violet Boeli, they once held power over this city right?"
"Yes"
"Now that they are gone, does it mean we are the ones in power?"
"Well... not completely."
William nodded, "Figures. Alright then you do everything to buy off the police force who would be glad to find a new benefactor and use them to cut off any bandits or thugs in the street that think they own this place now.
Tell Naomi to Control over every business factor in this city and truly make it ours."
Delmar smiled heavily, "Now we are talking." Then he realized something as he said.
"Oh! Yeah, almost forgot."
"Happy Birthday Boss."
