Chapter 789: Helena Becomes Managing Director
Wang Jian looked down at Erik Schneider, his expression cold and unyielding. "You've lost, Erik," he said, his voice flat. "But I'm not done with you yet."
He held out a document, a pen clutched between his fingers. "Sign this," he ordered. "It's a transfer of power. You'll be giving your wife control over Devereux's European operations in your absence."
Erik looked at the document, his eyes hollow with defeat. He knew that signing it would be the final nail in his coffin, the ultimate betrayal of everything he had worked for. But what did it matter now? His life was already in ruins.
With a heavy heart, he took the pen and scrawled his name across the page. Wang Jian took the document, a triumphant smile playing across his lips. "Excellent," he purred. "Now, let's go for a little walk, shall we?"
He grabbed Erik by the arm, his grip like iron as he dragged him out of the hotel room and into the cold night air. Erik stumbled along, his mind numb, his body heavy with despair. He knew where this was going; Wang Jian was going to kill him, to silence him forever.
They walked in silence, the only sound the crunch of their footsteps on the gravel path that led down to the river. When they reached the edge, Wang Jian turned to face Erik, his eyes glinting with malice.
"Any last words?" he asked, his voice mocking.
Erik looked at him, his expression blank. "Do what you want," he said, his voice barely a whisper. "I don't care anymore."
Wang Jian chuckled, a cold, humorless sound. "Such a pity," he murmured. "I was hoping for something a bit more dramatic."
With that, he raised his hand, a glint of metal catching the moonlight. Erik barely had time to register the knife before it was plunging into his chest, the cold steel slicing through his flesh like butter. He gasped, his eyes widening in shock as he looked down at the hilt protruding from his body.
Wang Jian twisted the blade, a cruel smile on his face. "You should have known better than to challenge me, Erik," he said, his voice low and menacing. "I always win."
Erik's legs buckled, his body crumpling to the ground as the life drained out of him. Wang Jian watched impassively as he took his final breaths, his eyes glazing over with the knowledge of his own impending death.
When it was over, Wang Jian wiped the blade clean on Erik's shirt, a satisfied smirk on his face. He dragged the body to the edge of the river, giving it a final shove. Erik's corpse hit the water with a soft splash, the current quickly carrying it away into the darkness.
Wang Jian stood there for a moment, watching the water ripple and flow, a sense of accomplishment settling over him. Erik Schneider was gone, his power and influence stripped away, his life snuffed out like a candle flame. And in his place, Wang Jian had installed his own pawn, his own puppet to do his bidding.
With a final glance at the river, he turned and walked back towards the hotel, his mind already racing with plans for the future. He had won this battle, but the war was far from over. There were still more territories to conquer, more enemies to crush, more empires to build.
But for now, he had earned a moment of respite. He returned to the hotel room, slipping quietly into bed beside Helena. She stirred in her sleep, her body soft and warm against his. He pulled her close, his hands roaming over her curves, savoring the feel of her flesh beneath his fingertips.
As they dressed and prepared to face the day, Wang Jian couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation. The future was bright, full of possibilities and opportunities. And with Helena by his side, he knew that he could conquer the world.
They walked into the Devereux headquarters hand in hand, their heads held high, their eyes gleaming with confidence. The staff looked up in surprise, their mouths dropping open at the sight of the new power couple.
Wang Jian smiled, his arm wrapped around Helena's waist. "Ladies and gentlemen," he said, his voice ringing out clear and strong. "I have an announcement to make. As of today, Helena Schneider is the new managing director of Devereux's European operations. She will be taking over for her husband, Erik Schneider, who has decided to step down and pursue other
interests."
There was a moment of stunned silence, followed by a flurry of murmurs and whispers. But Wang Jian held up his hand, silencing them all. "I know this is a surprise," he said. "But I assure you, Helena is more than qualified for the job. She has my full support as her advisor, and together, we will lead this company to new heights of success."
Helena stepped forward, her head held high, her eyes flashing with determination. "Thank you all for your support," she said, her voice strong and clear. "I know I have big shoes to fill, but I promise you, I will not let you down. Together, we will make Devereux the most powerful and influential company in Europe."
The staff broke into applause, their faces shining with excitement and anticipation. Wang Jian smiled, his heart swelling with pride. He had done it; he had taken control of one of the most powerful companies in the world, and he had done it with style.
As they walked into the boardroom, ready to begin their new reign, Wang Jian couldn't help
but feel a sense of satisfaction. He had come a long way from the humble beginnings of his life in another world. He had fought and struggled and clawed his way to the top, and now, he
was finally
there.
And with Helena by his side, he knew that he would stay there for a long, long time. They were a team, a partnership forged in passion and power, and together, they were unstoppable.
As they sat down at the head of the table, Wang Jian reached over and took Helena's hand,
giving it a squeeze. She looked at him, her eyes shining with love and devotion. "I couldn't have done this without you," she whispered.
Wang Jian smiled, his heart full of love and pride. "We make a great team," he said. "And this
is just the beginning."
And so, with their hands clasped together, their eyes locked on the future, Wang Jian and Helena began their reign over the European branch of Devereux Internationals. It was a new chapter in their lives, a new adventure filled with excitement and possibility. And together, they were ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.
