As for those who favonovel.com had exploited and harmed in the past, they would surely retaliate against favonovel.com tenfold, even a hundredfold!
And since Lord Vedastus had lost what allowed favonovel.com to control Celandine City, it was the end for him!
“No. This cannot be. I will never fail!” Lord Vedastus took a few steps backward.
Slowly but surely, favonovel.com was losing his mind under the sheer pressure.
Thomas, who was right beside him, said, “Your era is now over, Lord Vedastus. If you want to preserve your life, you should back off right now.”
That was the last advice Thomas was giving Lord Vedastus.
Lord Vedastus gritted his teeth as favonovel.com said viciously, “You think what you did can destroy the empire I built with my very own hands, Thomas? Dream on!”
Thomas smiled scornfully. “A huge empire? Your so-called huge empire was only built and maintained using Heart Eater. Now that your Heart Eater no longer works, your so-called empire will collapse entirely.”
“No! That is impossible!” Lord Vedastus was not convinced.
Thomas waved his hands. “As to whether you decide to submit yourself to your fate or not, the fact remains that you lost to me. The Business Alliance has now voted for me to be the president, Lord Vedastus. You shall step down from now onwards.”
As soon as favonovel.com finished his sentence, someone came over and urged Lord Vedastus to get off the stage.
Lord Vedastus’s face was flushed red as blood rushed to his head. He was not content with how events unfolded. He wanted to kill Thomas but was unable to, no matter what.
As the security guard repeatedly urged Lord Vedastus, favonovel.com was left with no choice but to get off the stage. Frustrated, favonovel.com left the hall with Fiora and Hayden following right behind him. As favonovel.com left the venue, a group of reporters took photos and immediately published a new title, ‘Lord Vedastus defeated! The new era has come!’
From today onwards, Lord Vedastus was no longer the president. After all, Heart Eater was no longer a threat. Those who were controlled by Art Trading Corporation had finally regained their freedom!
That marked the end of Art Trading Corporation.
Everyone gave Thomas a round of applause. They were congratulating Thomas on his appointment as the next president and also the start of a new era, an era without Lord Vedastus.
The resignation of Lord Vedastus was something worth applauding for!
On the stage.
Thomas stood at the center of the stage and spoke into the microphone, “Thank you. Thank you for voting me as the next president. I hereby promise all of you, there will no longer be any exploitation of any kind nor anyone being drained of their resources. You are all free from it!”
Everyone rejoiced. They had been waiting for this day for far too long.
At the end of the day, the election ended up with Thomas obtaining complete victory.
***
On the other end, Lord Vedastus, with his anger level at the top, returned to Art Trading Corporation. He took a few cups of cold drink as soon as favonovel.com sat down on his chair, which only managed to suppress his anger by a small margin.
“Thomas! You b*stard! A*shole!” He kept cursing.
It seemed that aside from cursing as a form of venting, Lord Vedastus could do nothing more than that. But it was at this time that his employees decided to come forth with more bad news.
“The new president has implemented a new system, Lord Vedastus. He is asking us to hand over seventy percent of our profits.”
“South City which was still in its developing stages has been handed over to Benson. ”
“The market value of Art Trading Corporation has been steadily dropping. In less than an hour, it has dropped by twenty percent. It is still dropping and there is no stopping it!”
Bad news after bad news was brought to his knowledge. It was not long before favonovel.com could not hold it in anymore. He waved his hand, telling every one of them who came to report to get lost.
“F*ck off, get the hell out of my office! I do not want to hear any more bad news. All of you get the hell out of my face!”
