Chapter 144 No Longer the Bank President
Drip...
Blood started flowing from Troy's left cheek immediately.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
His eyes widened, his face filled with horror, and he let out a wailing scream.
"It hurts so much!"
Soon, his face was covered in blood.
"Wait for me in the car downstairs, Lisa." Noah said, not wanting Lisa to see this gruesome scene.
"Okay! Stay safe, Noah." Lisa was terrified and headed downstairs.
"Noah, is one knife enough?" Aiden asked, holding the fruit knife and looking at Noah.
"Use two knives," Noah replied calmly.
"Alright!"
The tip of Aiden's fruit knife landed on Troy's right cheek.
"Aiden! Aiden!" Troy shouted in fear, "Please, stop! I'll give you money, I'll give you ten million, no, one billion! I'll give you one billion, please spare me!"
"One billion is a lot for me, but sorry, I only listen to Noah's commands now." Aiden smirked and made another swipe with the knife.
Drip...
Another bloody wound appeared on Troy's right cheek.
Splatter...
Blood continued to flow.
At this moment, Noah had taken out his phone and dialed Samuel's number.
"Hello, Noah, did you find Lisa?" Samuel asked with concern as the call connected.
If something happened to Lisa, he would also be responsible.
"We found her, she's safe now. Troy kidnapped her," Noah said with no emotion in his voice.
Samuel trembled and fear filled his heart. He knew Troy very well.
Recently, Noah Capital had just invested in a bank in Oceanbridge City, the East Sea Development Bank. The state-owned bank held 40% of the shares, Noah Capital held 41%, and the Lopez family held 19%.
In other words, Noah Capital was the largest shareholder of this bank.
In order to balance the relationship between the two major shareholders, the state-owned bank and Noah Capital, Troy had been appointed the bank president today through a resolution.
But how long had it been since Troy kidnapped Lisa?
Remember, the true owner of Noah Capital was Noah himself!
The bank president, Troy, had kidnapped the wife of the largest shareholder of their bank, Noah Capital's boss.
If this wasn't seeking death, what was it?
"Noah, I’m also responsible for this. First, I didn't protect Lisa when she was in danger while leaving work. Then, I recommended Troy as the bank president." Samuel admitted his mistakes and said, "Now that things have come to this point, how do you plan to handle it? Just give me your orders and I won't question them."
"You're aware of your responsibility, that's good. We'll deduct one year's salary from you," Noah replied.
"Fine!" Samuel breathed a sigh of relief. One year's salary wasn't much for him.
His biggest fear was facing Noah's anger.
"Troy, the current bank president, will no longer hold that position. And as for the Troy family, isn't Troy's father a well-known figure on the Forbes list of richest people? We can remove him from the list," Noah spoke again.
Troy was most proud of his family background, job, and appearance. His appearance had just been ruined, and now his job and family background would be affected.
"Alright, Noah, I'll handle it immediately," Samuel promptly responded.
The financial power of the Lin family was enough to influence the global economy and bankrupt someone who was at the bottom of the list of richest people. For Noah, it was a simple task.
After hanging up the phone, Noah looked at Troy.
His face was covered in blood, with long cuts on both sides of his cheeks, and he was clutching his face in pain, howling.
"It hurts so much!"
The feeling of his skin being torn apart made his entire body tremble and convulse with pain.
When Troy saw Noah looking at him, his eyes turned bloodshot, and he expressed resentment.
"Noah, you scumbag! So, you've really destroyed my pride like you said? Hahaha, even if there are scars on my face, so what?
"I'm rich! I'm the president of a bank! My old man is on the Forbes list of richest people! Even if I am ugly, countless beautiful women will still pursue me! When they see these two scars, they'll still say I have manly charm!"
Troy gritted his teeth, enduring the intense pain, and a sense of satisfaction suddenly appeared in his eyes. "Do you know why? Because I'm rich! I drive sports cars and take goddesses to street vendors. They think I'm down-to-earth and thrifty!
"That’s the allure of money! Noah, a poor guy like you will never understand this feeling, right?"
Noah shook his head. "No, from now on, you’re the one will never experience this feeling again."
"Hahaha, what do you mean? Are you telling me that a poor guy like you who relies on brute force, can make me step down as the bank president? Do you think you can make my old man go bankrupt? What a joke!" Troy covered his blood-stained cheek and laughed heartily.
"Do you even know what a monetary fund is? Do you know what a CFP qualification is? Do you understand financial management? Do you understand financial statements? Do you understand foreign exchange trading? Do you understand the 'Commercial Bank Law'?" His voice was filled with mockery.
"You don’t understand any of it, Noah, you worthless piece of trash. You understand nothing! In the end, you’re just a useless person who relies on brute force and will struggle at the bottom of society for your whole life! After this incident, I’ll still be the president of a bank, and you, Noah, will still be a failure, a poor wretch!
"That's not something you can change with just a little brute force."
Buzz...
As he said that, Troy's phone suddenly vibrated.
He picked it up and saw that it was a call from Samuel, the CEO of Noah Capital.
"Noah, do you know who Samuel is? He’s the CEO of Noah Capital! Noah Capital is a global investment company, and the CEO holds a high position. The strength of that company can even shake a country's economy! Did you see that? Someone that important is calling me!" Troy mocked Noah.
"Your connections are all people from the bottom of society. That's the difference between you and me!"
Troy answered the call with a flattering smile.
"Hello, Samuel, do you need something from me?"
"Troy, from now on, you are no longer the president of Eastern Sea Development Bank," said Samuel's icy voice.
"What?" Troy was stunned, thinking he had heard it wrong.
He had just become the President today, and now he was being removed from the position in the evening?
"Mr. Samuel , did you make a mistake? Please say it again, I didn't hear clearly," Troy said.
"I said, from now on, you are no longer the president of the bank," Samuel replied impatiently and hung up.
Troy stood frozen, unable to believe what just happened. He murmured in disbelief, "This can't be possible! How is this possible? Why did Samuel say I'm no longer the president? I didn't make any mistakes! How is this possible?"
Samuel, representing Noah Capital, was the largest shareholder of Eastern Sea Development Bank. If he said Troy was no longer the president, then Troy was no longer the president.
"But why? Why did Mr. Samuel do this?"
Just as Troy was puzzled, his phone rang again.
