A Bumpy Road to Power

Chapter 604 - 604

"Dad, we can't let our guard down; Dirk Carter has Cosimo Griffin's support."

Draven Hayes said, frowning.

Elroy Hayes laughed heartily and said, "A gangster, really thinking he's omnipotent? Don't worry, after today, the name Cosimo Griffin will no longer be heard in Ronan City."

For someone standing at the pinnacle like him,

people like Dirk Carter are undoubtedly ants.

But he didn't know that sometimes, the power of ants is unimaginable.

Thump, thump, thump.

A series of urgent knocks sounded at the door.

Then, the door was pushed open.

Afou rushed in again, panting heavily.

"Afou, how many times have I told you, be calm and composed in your work, why can't you learn?"

Elroy Hayes said, somewhat displeased.

Afou swallowed, inhaled deeply,

and said, "Chairman, young master, downstairs... downstairs... President Zechariah is here."

Upon hearing that,

Draven Hayes suddenly stood up.

Asked, "President Zechariah? Which one? Dorothy Zechariah?"

Afou nodded.

A disdainful smile appeared on Draven Hayes' face as he said, "I haven't even gone to her, and she's come to me? Fine; since that's the case, let's have some fun today. How many people did she bring?"

"Quite a few, but Hunter Sadler has already blocked them."

Afou replied.

A grim smile appeared on Draven Hayes' face as he waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go take a look."

...

At the entrance of the building.

A standoff was already in place.

On one side was Dorothy Zechariah, with the "surrendering" board members.

On the other side was a stocky young man, Hunter Sadler, the current Head of Security at Stansen Group.

A year ago, Hunter Sadler was merely a security guard at Stansen Group.

This man sure knows how to get things done.

When Draven Hayes took over Stansen Group, he faced much opposition from the board members.

As a security guard, he was the first to step forward and pledge allegiance to Draven Hayes, playing a significant role in suppressing opposing board members and taking control of Stansen Group. Draven Hayes was also appreciative of talent, and once in power, promoted Hunter Sadler to the Head of Security.

Now, basking in glory, he didn't take Dorothy Zechariah seriously at all.

Standing in the very center of the entrance.

With more than twenty security guards he had gathered standing behind him, he craned his neck and said to Dorothy Zechariah, "Madam, marry a rooster, follow a rooster; marry a dog, follow a dog. The Chairman of Stansen Group now is President Hayes, not you. Without President Hayes' permission, I certainly can't let you in."

"Hunter Sadler, you dog, what else can you do besides barking incessantly?"

Dorothy Zechariah blushed with anger.

Hunter Sadler didn't care about the insults, sneered, and said, "You're the madam; if you want to curse, go ahead. But even if you swear till the world ends today, I surely won't let you in, not even if the King of Heaven comes."

"You..."

Dealing with such unreasonable people.

Dorothy Zechariah had no way.

Just as she was about to charge ahead, Dirk Carter stopped her.

He took a step forward, asking Hunter Sadler, "Are you sure you won't let us in?"

Hunter Sadler gave Dirk Carter a disdainful glance, asking, "Who the hell are you? What right do you have to question me here?"

Dirk Carter smiled slightly, waved his hand.

A middle-aged woman stepped forward.

Took out a sheet of paper and said, "By resolution of the Stansen Group's board, we relieve Draven Hayes of his chairman duties and appoint Dorothy Zechariah as the new Chairman of Stansen Group."

"Did you hear that? The person standing before you is your chairman."

Dirk Carter pointed at Dorothy Zechariah and said.

One would have thought Hunter Sadler would be somewhat surprised to hear this appointment, but unexpectedly, he wasn't.

He sneered, took the appointment from the woman's hand, glanced at it, and with a rip tore it to pieces.

Casually tossing it aside,

he said, "Sorry, I don't know how to read. Who knows where you got this fake appointment from."

"Hahaha..."

The group of security guards behind him burst into laughter.

Seeing these people so arrogant,

it seemed reconciliation was no longer possible.

Dirk Carter didn't want to waste words either.

He glanced at Arlo Yarbrough, standing to one side.

Arlo Yarbrough was already impatient.

He slowly walked up to Hunter Sadler, nodding and bowing, said, "Hey buddy, let's negotiate something."

"Who the hell you calling buddy? Get lost..."

He was probably going to say, "Get lost far away."

Unfortunately, Hunter Sadler didn't get the chance to finish.

As he was saying "get," Arlo Yarbrough made his move, one arm wrapping around his neck, the other gripping his shoulder, and before Hunter Sadler could react, he was locked up.

Ooh, ooh, ooh... Cough, cough, cough...

Hunter Sadler hadn't expected the opponent to actually use force.

In an instant, he lost his ability to fight back.

The other guys with him, seeing the situation change, were just about to intervene.

But then the doors of the cars parked at the entrance suddenly opened, and countless men in black suits, swarmed out, quickly forming a line, shielding Arlo Yarbrough.

"Go!"

Dirk Carter coldly commanded.

That line of men began advancing slowly forward.

As for Hunter Sadler's crew, they were all cowards against the strong, just looking at each other and retreating step by step.

Finally, the group originally at the entrance all moved into the lobby of the group.

Seeing the situation about to spiral out of control.

Just then,

someone shouted, "President Hayes is here, President Hayes is here..."

Following the voice, looking over,

at the elevator entrance,

Draven Hayes and an elderly man approached slowly.

They were followed by quite a few bodyguards, looking fierce and imposing.

Soon,

Elroy Hayes and Draven Hayes walked through the crowd, arriving right in front of the confrontation line.

"Wife, why must we do this? Why help outsiders to overthrow your own husband? When this gets out, won't people scold you for being unfaithful?"

Once Draven Hayes stood still,

he looked Dorothy Zechariah up and down and said mockingly.

Birds of a feather flock together.

Elroy Hayes chimed in, "Yes, daughter-in-law, couples may quarrel in bed but reconcile by the pillow. You shouldn't betray your own, tsk tsk, the upbringing of The Zechariah Family certainly needs some work."

"Bullshit, you two bastards, harming my father, stealing my company, you... you'll die a horrible death!"

When it comes to cursing,

Dorothy Zechariah admittedly wasn't good at it.

A tepid retort made Draven Hayes burst into laughter.

He said, "What kind of wife curses her husband to die?"

With those words,

another round of laughter erupted.

Dorothy Zechariah was furious.

She wished she could tear Draven Hayes apart on the spot.

Seeing she was losing control of her emotions again,

Dirk Carter stepped forward slowly and said to Draven Hayes, "President Hayes, your physical condition is pretty good, not long in the hospital and already back at work. I admire such spirit, truly admire..."
