160 The Seven Directors, Vying for the President’s Position

Everyone was silent.

The socialites and noble ladies who were walking around the hotel lobby no longer discussed in low voices.

Then, there was a commotion.

Clearly, many people did not agree with Younes Cross’ suggestion.

Many people had paid a huge price for the president’s position tonight. They had done so to canvass for votes and for the position of the leader.

With Younes’ words, the next president’s position was given to the Neal family.

This messed up everyone’s plans!

Before the outsiders could make trouble.

“I don’t agree!”

The person who spoke was actually Louis Neal.

This was beyond everyone’s expectations.

Many people felt that Louis was stupid. He even rejected the old president’s support?

“I don’t agree either!” Harold Sage frowned.

“I also disagree!”

Grant Thomas expressed his opinion.

According to what they had said earlier, the president’s position should be given to Braydon Neal.

This way, the Sage and Thomas families would do their best to help.

But now, the position of president was going to be given to Louis. Things did not feel right.

In Harold’s eyes, he would only be convinced if Braydon took on the position of president of the Preston Chamber of Commerce.

Braydon’s tactics and wisdom were far better than everyone else present.

With the Sage family’s help, they would also benefit in the end.

Harold looked apologetic. “Uncle Louis, I’m sorry. I have to consider the Sage family. The president’s position should be given to Braydon.”

Louis did not blame him. He originally wanted Braydon to be the next president.

He was also the chairman of the Neal Corporation, so he knew that he had to consider the Neals. Although Harold was young, he shouldered the heavy responsibility of developing the Sage Corporation.

This young man, in the eyes of Louis’ generation, was actually very talented.

Then, the representatives of the seven great families all disagreed.

The Larson family, Smith family, and the other great families did not agree because they wanted the position of president.

In order to canvass for votes these days, every family had paid a huge price.

How could he let this old man Younes have the final say!

The Quinn family had also sent a representative. It was Theodore Quinn, Braydon’s second uncle.

However, the people of the Quinn family did not say a word. They did not object nor agree, as if they were just there to make up the number.

The second master of the Smith family, William Smith, said with a dark face, President Cross, aren’t you being too biased toward the Neal family by doing this? We’ve already agreed that the votes will decide the next president.”

“The votes will determine the next president. This is the rule that cannot be changed!” Fabien Larson spoke on behalf of the Larson family.

This caused everyone to echo in agreement!

Braydon glanced at these people. They were all familiar faces.

It seemed that the position of president of the Preston Chamber of Commerce was really important. None of the seven great families would give it up easily.

Younes’ expression darkened slightly as he rapped the dragon-head walking stick on the ground.

The crowd quieted down and returned to silence.

After being the president for decades, he still had this bit of dignity!

“Grandpa Younes, it’s okay. Let’s have a referendum,” Braydon chuckled.

Younes laughed. “Young man. You’re really scheming. Is it because you don’t want to make things difficult for me? Or do you have other plans?”

“It’s hard to convince the public if you get to the position of president through connections. It’s the same everywhere. Since you’re the president, you must first convince the public. What do you think, Second Master William?”

Braydon’s white clothes fluttered, and a wave of pressure spread out from his thin body.

This is the pressure of a War God.

A pressure that could suppress a hundred grass blades and suppress ten thousand people.

A War God level martial artist!

“War God level?” Younes was shocked.

At that moment, the old man was dumbfounded.

He was also an ancient martial artist, and he was almost at the warlord level. However, he was too old, and his potential had been exhausted, so he did not reach that level.

He was in a state of confusion.

He really did not expect that the little guy he risked his life to protect back then was actually a young dragon. A true dragon entering the northern territory. His growth was astonishing!

Now that Braydon had returned to Preston, he was actually so terrifying!

William’s face turned pale, and he lowered her head. “That’s right, Young Master Braydon is right. If you want to be the new president, you have to convince the masses first.”

Braydon chuckled. He did not want to bully these people with force.

Since they wanted to use the votes for a referendum, then they would use the votes for a referendum!

“Braydon, which War God level are you at?”

“Grandpa Younes, do you think that the Northern King only has War God level strength?” Braydon laughed.

For the old man in front of him, Braydon unconsciously regarded him as a family member.

He did not put on any airs as he saw him as a relative and appeared to be approachable.

Old Master Younes was once again dumbfounded. He suddenly came to his senses and remembered that the young man in front of him had already claimed to be the Northern King when he bowed before him.

Was he not the commander of the northern army?

There were few martial artists in the world who did not know about the northern army. The ten most terrifying armies of the north were located in the northern territory. They had beaten the eight countries outside the borders until they cried out in despair. Wherever the cold sword pointed, the eight countries outside the borders were intimidated into wanting to pay tribute and become subjects.

That was how terrifying the north was!

“The king of the northern territory, the commander of the northern army, the Northern King?!” Younes was shocked.

Braydon chuckled. He had never cared about titles.

But the middle-aged bespectacled man supporting Younes had a look of shock in his eyes. He really did not expect this young man to have such a powerful background!

Younes was really frightened.

The thousand-year-old genius from the northern territory was actually this young man in white in front of him.

The Neal family had a son named Braydon. He was destined to prosper!

Braydon remained calm and chuckled, “Everyone, it’s getting late. Since we’ve decided to hold a referendum to decide the next president, let’s begin!”

“Then, let’s do as we said earlier. The seven representatives of the seven great families are candidates. All the members of the Chamber of Commerce have the right to vote. No one can back out on their votes!”

Fabien seized the opportunity and continued.

He knew that the eldest son of the first wife of the Neal family was not a kind person.

However, today was the business of the Chamber of Commerce. Even if he was an ancient martial arts practitioner, he should follow the rules of the Chamber of Commerce.

Everyone present participated in the referendum.

The seven great families each had their own representatives.

The representative of the Larson family was naturally Fabien Larson. His name appeared on the screen in the resplendent hall, and everyone saw it.

Everyone present was familiar, so there was no need to introduce the seven directors.

The second representative of the Smith family was the second master, William Smith.

The third was Grant Thomas, the representative of the Thomas family!

Fourth, Yackley family’s third master, Kevin Yackley.

The fifth was Harold Sage of the Sage family!

The sixth was Theodore Quinn of the Quinn family who remained silent.

These six people were the representatives of the six great families.

Under everyone’s gazes, something unexpected happened.

The Neal family’s representative was not Louis Neal or Liam Neal, but the third generation’s eldest son Braydon Neal!

A young man in white clothes stood with his hands behind his back, and his name appeared on the screen.

This caused an uproar.

How could a junior be the president of a Chamber of Commerce?

It was difficult to convince the masses!

Even if he forced his way up, no one would listen to him.

At this moment, the representatives of the great families all sneered at the same time, thinking that the Neal family was doomed to be eliminated this time.

“Let the voting begin!” Younes Cross announced.

“Wait, the Sage family will withdraw!” Everyone was stunned when Harold announced his withdrawal.

Under everyone’s gaze, Harold turned around and voted for Braydon!
