"clear!"
"Please rest assured that the public relations department will fully assist the security department."
"The same applies to the finance department."
The three directors, namely the HR, PR, and finance directors, spoke in turn.
Throughout the entire incident, Jacob Hafk never mentioned the attack on the group's major shareholder, Hudson, at the spaceport, as if the attack on a group executive at such a crucial location as the spaceport was a trivial matter.
But at that moment, the door was pushed open, or rather, smashed open.
A large number of Hafk soldiers dressed in Hafk uniforms, but with dark blue uniforms, stormed into the meeting room. The three directors of human resources, finance, and public relations all changed their expressions upon seeing this.
What are you doing?
"We're in a meeting, what does this mean?" The PR director stood up angrily, slammed his hand on the table, and looked at the Hafk soldiers who had suddenly barged into the meeting room.
The two directors, HR and finance, turned their gazes to Demulan, who remained as steady as a mountain, but soon they both looked away.
Not Demoulan.
impossible.
"Don't get excited, everyone."
"Long time no see." A familiar voice came, and then the Hafk soldiers, no, the Hudson guards, made way in an orderly fashion, exposing Hudson's figure, which had been hidden by the crowd, to the four people in the conference room and Hafk.
Wearing the same green suit, Hudson sat in an electric wheelchair, but unexpectedly, he was also wearing a powered exoskeleton.
"Hudson!" The PR director's expression changed drastically, and the HR and finance directors also looked displeased.
Upon seeing Hudson, Demulan's expression remained largely unchanged, and his back remained ramrod straight.
"Hudson, where did you go after you were attacked?"
"Why didn't you inform the group? Your colleagues at the group know you were attacked, and they're all very worried." The HR director looked at Hudson and spoke first.
"Mr. Hudson, I don't recall you being invited to this meeting today. What are you trying to do by barging into the meeting room with your troops?" the CFO asked, equally challenging.
They all knew that their previous actions had not escaped Hudson's notice.
Putting everything else aside, just the fact that Hudson was able to bypass Hafk's channels to evade their pursuit, and now he's even able to stage this "return of the king" drama, shows that they've already revealed their hand.
In a struggle, there's no such thing as surrendering and losing half the battle. Seeing Hudson's hostile attitude, it seemed destined that he wouldn't have a good ending today, so they simply went ahead and launched an attack.
"Director Demulan, how does the security department do its work?"
The group's articles of association clearly stipulate that the group's security forces are uniformly coordinated by the security department and uniformly led by the security director. What does this mean?
We were in a meeting, reporting to Mr. Jacob, when these people barged into the meeting room with weapons. What does this mean? Is this in accordance with the rules?
Are these people under the leadership of the security department?
"Are they still Hafk's forces?" The words of the two directors, HR and Finance, inspired the PR director, who stood up and looked at Desmulan.
On the surface, these words were a reprimand of DeMullan, but in reality, they implied that Hudson had a tendency to establish his own independent faction and become too powerful to control, which would be a serious offense within a large organization like the Hafk Group.
Loyalty is more important than ability, and ability is more important than morality.
But Hudson didn't care at all.
"Someone, someone!" the HR director shouted. The meeting room they were in was located in an important facility of the Hafk Group, with ample security to counter Hudson.
Hudson's personal guards remained silent, and for a moment, the meeting room was deathly still.
"Stop shouting. There's an important matter to report to the group, the board of directors, and Mr. Jacob, so my men have taken control of this area."
"Don't worry, the person you summon won't be able to come without the group's board's permission." Hudson sat in his wheelchair, a sarcastic smile playing on his lips.
"You, you guys, Hudson, are you going to rebel?"
"Mr. Jacob, you saw it too, what is this?" The CFO looked at the large screen of the communication device with red eyes, but found that Jacob Hafk did not intend to stop it.
"Rebellion?" Hudson slowly rose and moved forward, a sight that horrified the four directors present.
They saw it clearly: it was an explosive auxiliary spine and a powered exoskeleton.
Hudson... underwent a transformation.
He walked up to the large screen and stared directly at Jacob Hafk's incredibly tall figure illuminated by the communication equipment... his back.
"Mr. Hafk, I have some information about the three directors of human resources, finance and public relations abusing their power for personal gain and embezzling group assets."
This is a matter of great importance, and I must report it to you.
I now recommend that my Efficiency Department take the lead in immediately taking measures against these three corrupt officials who are holding positions without performing their duties and abusing their power for personal gain, and hold them accountable.
Meanwhile, for the sake of Hafk's great cause, the Efficiency Department will conduct an investigation and liquidation of the Human Resources, Finance, and Public Relations departments. Hudson, who disliked wrangling in meetings, was now even more direct in his attack.
The three directors of HR, finance, and public relations all changed their expressions drastically, from anger to ashen, and then to deathly pale.
They knew what Hudson had transmitted to Jacob.
They're finished.
"Yes, I saw it." Jacob Hafk's tone was very soft, but to the three directors of human resources, finance, and public relations, it was like a thunderclap.
The PR director, who had just stood up, slumped back into his chair, too exhausted to even get up.
"My ideal is to use technology to change reality and make the world a better place. In the paradise we are about to create, there will be no room for parasites."
"I agree in principle to investigate these three." Hafk's words reached the ears of everyone present.
Hudson's smile grew even more smug, while the other three directors, apart from Demulan, trembled violently and turned ashen-faced.
"But..." Hafk changed the subject, and Hudson's expression changed drastically.
"The Efficiency Department has been extremely busy lately. You were just attacked and are recovering from serious injuries. It's bound to be difficult to execute both the Acceleration Plan and the Dark Star Plan at the same time." Jacob Hafk's voice clearly reached the ears of everyone present.
"Let the security department handle the investigation into their problems."
"This intelligence originally came from the security department, didn't it?" Jacob Hafk's words were like a thunderbolt, and both Demulan and Hudson's expressions changed drastically after he said this.
How could Jacob Hafk possibly know?
