God of Tricksters-Novel

Chapter 917 - Firing Anderson

Star Group.

"We need to remove Anderson from his position," stated Bernard in front of his shareholders. His tone was stern and his face was serious. His words brooked no argument.

"Huh? Anderson is one of our directors, no?" A middle-aged guy frowned and asked, wondering if Bernard was serious or not.

"Yes." Bernard nodded without hesitation.

His confirmation stunned the people in the room. They didn't know what had happened to him. After all, Bernard wasn't someone who would make this bold move out of nowhere.

"Before that, may I ask for the reason?" Another person raised his voice.

Bernard simply stated, "Because of him misusing his authority, two S Rank Talents in this company almost killed each other. I'm sure you know what will happen next, right?"

"Two S Rank Talents?" Everyone started shaking as they never thought something that big had happened. "Silvia and Patrick?"

When he mentioned two S Rank Talents that were equal, they obviously thought the two Mythical Rank Experts since the other S Rank Talent was still a Supreme Rank Expert. However, Bernard shook his head and said, "Mark and a new guy."

"A new guy? I don't think we've got any report regarding a new S Rank Talent." The middle-aged man raised his doubt. With such a big occasion, they would surely receive the news. So, this sudden appearance of S Rank Talent confused them.

"I'm sure you're already aware that my fat… I mean, the previous CEO brought someone to this place, no?" Bernard asked.

"Yes. We're aware of him. The mysterious guy called Joker." They all nodded in agreement until one of them shouted, "Wait. He is an S Rank Talent? According to the report, he's only a B Rank."

Another shareholder waved his hand and added, "You should read the small note below his assessment. It's said he abandoned the last two tests."

"Yes. I'm sure the first three tests are enough to tell you his potential, right?" Bernard nodded, asking for confirmation.

They all exchanged looks and nodded to each other. "Indeed."

"Still, we don't know about his battle power."

"Though, with that kind of potential, his martial prowess should be quite powerful as well."

"The previous CEO told him to hold back so as to not stunned the people around there. If it's too big, I'm afraid other companies will come to snatch him for us." Bernard sighed. "As for his battle prowess, him defeating Mark should be enough to tell you what will happen if he takes the last test, no? As for the fourth test… I can't say much, but all you need to know is that his skills overpowered Mark in that battle. In fact, Mark was not his match."

"What?!" Some dropped their jaws while some rose from their seats. They all had their own way of showing their shock.

They were aware of what kind of person Mark was. In terms of his talent, Mark could be considered the greatest among the younger generations.

Although his talent couldn't be compared to Maya's overall talent, he could still overpower her in a battle for now. That was how strong he was.

Yet, this person lost miserably against a level 521 Expert? They simply couldn't believe it.

"Please. Don't make such a joke. You think we'll believe someone can defeat Mark with a 100 level gap?" One of them said with a frown.

"Come in!" Bernard shouted to the door, calling Emma and Kain.

Both of them entered the room and nodded to them.

"I'm sure you know about them. They're our Mythical Rank Experts, Emma and Kain. They were the witness of that battle. Instead of me tricking you, I think you should hear what they have to say."

The room became silent as they agreed. It was better to have Mythical Rank Experts telling them what transpired in the battle.

"In terms of status, I don't think this Joker lost too much against Mark. As for his battle strength, we clearly saw how Joker pushed Mark back. In fact, I believe they're pretty equal in this area. At the last moment, Joker stopped holding back and used one skill, which I couldn't say… It's just… This skill alone was enough for Joker to defeat Mark." Emma explained what she felt back then.

Meanwhile, Kain explained how the fight went from the very start without mentioning Theo's Death Avatar or Soul to avoid leaking this important information.

After listening to both of them, they all sucked a cold breath. Some of them still doubted such a thing happened, but Kain continued answering their questions to the point they had no choice but to agree that Joker defeated Mark in such a way.

"A Rank Skill? Mark should have one A Rank Skill, no? To think his A Rank Skill can't fight against Joker's Skill… Is it an S Rank Skill?"

"There's a possibility. Or a very powerful A Rank Skill, close to S Rank Skill."

"In that case, no wonder Mark lost against him. To think there's still such a scary man."

"No, no. We need to thank the former CEO for this."

"That's right. This is truly important."

"If what they said about the battle was true, then Joker might ace the admission test. With that skill alone, you could get an S+… And the fact he could defeat Mark also gave him an S+ evaluation. In fact, Joker is above Mark if we evaluate him properly. S+ Talent… No, I'm afraid he's above it. But there's no classification to define him right now."

"That shows how big his talent is. No wonder the former CEO tried to hide his power. If that's the case, we need to proceed carefully."

"Bang!"

Bernard slammed the table to gain everyone's attention again and said, "I'll tell you again. Anderson abused his authority to suppress Mark, resulting in his daughter forcing Mark to fight Joker. If I didn't solve this problem, Joker might leave this company, and Mark would be dissatisfied. If the public knows about this, our stability will be shaken as well. People will think we are foolish.

"So, I will give you my proposal. We'll kick Anderson out of this company and give severe punishment to his daughter to tell her not to play with fire. We'll also demote Anderson's brother because he helped Anderson… If you don't agree with this decision, raise your hand!" Bernard stated with a serious expression.
