Shikar laughed out loud, "Neil, very interesting. Who gave them the courage? They are trying to bring their own doom…haha…IDIOTS." he was very interested to see the next scene.
Arik scratched his right eyebrow realizing their stand. Was he being very generous that the people under him thought he was lenient? Stupid people.
"Really, did you gather 30 percent? 10 percent from public and 20 from the board of director? Within those who are neutral and my aid already have five percent beside that I have already gained that person's share." Pointing a finger to the previously selected Ceo, Arik lamented.
"So what? We have more than 20 percent–?" One of the people barked in.
"Oh! Sorry to say but I think you guys are misunderstanding something. I have few share too, it's just that I didn't have a chance to show off before.`` Hearing Arik's words, Shikar laughed.
"Bro, you are gonna kill me with laughter. Besides that I have a 10 percent share of ANB too. Why don't I support you? You can thank me in various ways–" Shikar tried to tease.
Arik: "Even if you don't support me. I have enough, so shut up."
"If you have than you would have shown it before. Why wait so long? Do you take us as fool?" one of the angry director spoke.
"Yup, you said is yourself, you are fool so I have to accept your logic. And me being incompetent and whatever, you are not in the position to make remark. I can dismiss as well as make you stay. If you all want then I will show the proof."Arik words were sharper than any weapon. He had the ability to kill enemies with the word.
Josh received a pendrive and showed a photograph large on the projector. With the photo, once again the crowd turned noisy.
Arik stayed silent for a whole minute and again spoke in a mike, "I don't think after this, you guys will question for my position. I solely have twenty five percent share of ANB Corps."
"What if you have twenty five percent, we will talk with the chairman and make a complaint." No one still tried to back off.
"Bro, these people sure have guts. I think they want to f**king die in your hands." Shikar whispered.
"Ignorance is also an illness unable to be cured. I need to use some of my hard tricks." Arik winked at Shikar.
"Go on."
Picking the remote of the projector Arik turned to next photograph.
"How can you have this share agreement?" one of the people from the crowd commented.
"Hey you all; whoever have got the termination letter f**k off. Don't make me repeat it for the second time. Those whose letter isn't termination do whatever as it is and assume your position from tomorrow. Those who haven't got an envelope can do as they wish. Either stay or leave. The Chairman has given me the share for keepsake and only I can use it. So I have more shares than you all betrayer. Josh, take care of the situation and use the people however you want." Standing up Arik took about five steps.
Remembering something he stopped and turned back.
"Josh, my people will assist you and you will take the position of Vice- CEO. I may be absent for some days so you will be the acting CEO. Do as you seem good. I give you my full support."
"Sure, Brother Neil" Josh bowed lightly. He didn't know his boss was acting as Neil as no one informed him.
Walking out of the banquet it was already past midnight.
On the way back, Shikhar sighed.
"Arik, you were a savage. Never have I thought you will directly dismiss those bastards. Their expression was exciting to see."
" Bro, what mine will always be mine. I don't have a habit of sharing with strangers. Only you, Neil, godfather and some of my trusted people have got the opportunity. Other were only having an illusion for winning. The game was in my hand from the beginning." Arik snorted.
"They only had one fourth share and they were trying to shine and what did they say, (laughing out loud) complaining to the Chairman…haha…bro what would happen if they knew you were the Chairman of ANB Corps. Do they want to f**king die by complaining about Brother Neil to his younger brother?" Shikar couldn't control his laugh.
"It isn't necessary for them to know. Taking control of ANB Corps was easy but the next thing is the most difficult. Bro, I have decided to move the plan before dawn. We can't wait for long for those to gather support." Arik sounded solemn.
Instantly, Shikar turned serious, "You are right. It's not the time for us to breathe calmly and be patient. Enough is enough. Assume the position you were supposed to take. Godfather wanted you to take that position more than anyone. Fulfil the wishes of dead ones even if you don't want to. Do you have any tasks for me?"
"Let me do it alone. Take care of Brother Neil and Sister-in-law. Besides that you have your business to attend. If you have time then, search for a cure for me. I haven't gotten enough rest. Don't know how long this body will be able to take and the next path I am gonna take will make me crazy…" Arik sighed.
"I will do my best. Focus on your work. Where shall I drop you?" Shikhar was used to Arik's sudden decision.
"Drop me here. I will go to the enemy lair by myself."
"But–" Shikar wanted to say a few words of care but knowing Arik won't back off once he decides, stopped himself.
In the middle of night, a young man was left alone on the road. Slowly, the man took steps and dissappear in the darkness.

<<Back Story>>
The one to propose to establish ANB Corps was Neil. He didn't want to be the leader of the mafia and was more interested in doing business. His father told him he could do whatever he wants but the old man won't support him with a single penny.
Dejected, he started a small scale business with his own money. Later on his trip, he told his situation to his brothers and Arik told he will invest money. In such a way ANB was formed.
Arik gave Shikhar ten percent as he won't work but only wanted benefits but will help in need, Neil got twenty five percent share and would be the CEO. Arik wanted to stay as an investor but both his brothers made him the Chairman.
None knew the business would bloom and benefit a lot.
ANB was more to say blood, sweat and hard work of Neil than any other person. Later it became the greatest corporation of Grasal.
