Rise Of The Supreme General

CHAPTER 14

Mr. Lee introduced Adam to the board Members in a board meeting. He sat at the chairman's seat and addressed, "As you'll have heard, the rumors are true, Mr. Manchester indeed bought the industry yesterday, making him acquire all my shares. 99% of the company's shares now belong to Mr. Manchester."

They all clapped, and immediately the door opened as Adam walked in. His presence commands respect and authority. After they were told it was Mr. Manchester, the Supreme General who bought the company, they were all eager to see him, not to mention working with him, it was the greatest privilege.

Mr. Lee stood up from his seat, allowing Adam to sit, as the new Chairman of Bulgart Industry.

"Thank you all for your trust in me. I'm glad to join you all, and as your new Chairman I ensure to move this industry to a greater height." Adam spoke and everyone clapped.

"Furthermore I have a new project already for us to start right away." Adam announced and everyone was shocked.

"Wow, so sudden Mr. Manchester, what kind of project?" A female board member asked.

"We're building another main branch in Almond City."

Everyone gazed at each other, before staring back at Adam.

"Isn't that too sudden? And Ray City is the closest to Almond City, we really don't need a main branch there, how about we take it to a more farer district. Or another country, like the African Countries." Another suggested.

"Your plan is brilliant. But trust me I know exactly what I'm doing, it is for a very important reason." A smirk curved on his lips.

Just when the public thought they had heard enough of Mr. Manchester on the Media. Heavy news hit the country after it was announced that a new major branch will be in Almond City. Many investors and business men who couldn't strike a deal with the company in Ray City were all traveling to Almond City to be able to bag a contract quickly.

Everything was going as planned, Adam pulled out his phone from his pocket and made a call.

"Hello Stacey, arrange the jet. We're going to Almond City."

…..

Racheal was in her office seated with her mother Monica. After divorcing Adam, Drake used his influence to secure deals with several corporations, making Odias ' net worth increase by 12%. Because of this Mr. Luther made her the head of the family's business.

Monica crossed her legs, sipping on the wine on the table. "That was hilarious Racheal."

They both laughed over their discussion.

"I can't believe how our lives have changed after you divorced that bastard."Monica scoffed.

"Indeed mum, I believed he must have died by now. Dad said he was transferred to Hell-gate after they got his legs broken."

"That's what he deserved. I can't believe he was asking for his kidney back, that asshole!"

"Let's forget about Adam ma, he's no more important in our lives."

"By the way, have you and Drake spoken lately?" Monica asked, trying to keep their conversation lively.

"Well, not exactly, we haven't actually spoken for a week now. I guess we've been super busy with work." Racheal replied, followed with a sigh.

"And what about what I told you. You need to move on Rachel, it's been six months since your divorce. You need to find a new partner and Drake is the perfect person."

"Mum, can you please not bring that up now? I'm really not ready for marriage, I'm now the chairwoman of the Odia Cooperation, my first priority is to elevate our business higher. I have responsibilities."

"That doesn't mean you should neglect your own needs, Racheal. And marrying Drake would also help promote the family's business—"

"Please mum. Can we change this topic?" Racheal interrupted her from speaking further.
