Chapter 118: The Chairman Speaks

Victor felt no obligation to respond to Sebastian's enraged question. He leaned back comfortably in the Chairman's seat as if nobody had spoken yet. With furrowed brows, Sebastian turned to Clive Baron for answers.

"What is going on, Clive? Why is this wastrel on your leader's chair? Is this some sort of prank?"

Clive smiled thinly before replying. "This is neither a prank nor a mistake. Mr. Victor Damone is the principal investor of the Springfield Rapids Project and has contributed billions of dollars to launch it. Moreover, it was his venture idea in the first place. He intends to transform Springfield into a world-class business hub and a next-gen metropolitan. The Chairman's seat always belonged to him."

Sebastian looked utterly confused. "What? That's ridiculous! Victor is a middle-class, unemployed guy who works as a bodyguard. His family is on the brink of bankruptcy. Are you people out of your minds?"
