Chapter 725



.

Herman held the will in his hand. “This is the will left by your grandfather. This will is completely valid since he left no other will when he passed away. Do you still plan to deny it?”

Justin scoffed. “Of course I won’t deny it. I’ll give you what you want – Lawrence!”

“Yes.”

Lawrence, who had appeared at the door, entered with a stock transfer agreement in his hand. He handed it to Herman. “Mr. Hunt, this is the stock transfer agreement the boss has prepared for you. Please sign it.”

This turn of events exceeded everyone’s expectations.

Everyone looked at Justin with confusion.

Lawrence explained, “Since the chief knew that you conspired against him back then, how could he not understand the reason why Elder Lord Hunt had not left a will here? The chief will not accept a penny from him. He will pay it all back to him. It can be considered as him paying back the Hunts for raising him.”

When Herman heard this, he felt a little embarrassed.

He glared at Justin and advised him again, “Justin, why are you doing this? You have worked hard for the Hunts for many years. Our family doesn’t care how much money we have anymore. Are you really going to watch the Hunts walk into destruction?”

Elder Mrs. Hunt couldn’t bear to see Justin go.

They hadn’t come today to force Justin to leave. They had only one goal: to get Iris to calm Philip’s anger.

Herman had feelings for Iris. Reluctant as he was, he had to give her up.

Elder Mrs. Hunt said, “Justin!”

Her old eyes filled with tears. How could she have no feelings for a grandson she had raised with her own hands? Besides, as outstanding as her son was, her grandson was better!

Justin was more business-minded than Herman.

Making him the boss was the best thing for the Hunts.

Roger was surprised. “Justin, have you really thought this through?”

He had fought for the position of power all his life, and he was going to give it up just like that?

As the group of people let their thoughts drift, Justin said, “Sign.”

Herman could only lower his head and open the stock transfer document in his hand. However, when he saw the contents, he was instantly stunned. “Justin, what do you mean by this?”

He slammed the document on the floor. “Are you kidding me!”

“What’s wrong?”

Elder Mrs. Hunt gaped.

Herman pointed to the document and said, “The stock transfer here is only 5%! My father left me 54% then.”

Only with more than 50% of the shares could one have the right to speak.

Everyone understood this logic.

Therefore, the shares Justin had received from Elder Lord Hunt were 54%.

But now, was he only giving him back 5%?

Justin looked at Lawrence. When he didn’t speak, Lawrence began to explain incessantly, “Mr. Hunt, listen to me. We have calculated these shares very meticulously.”

Herman stared at him.

Lawrence said, “The chief took over the Hunt Corporation ten years ago. Over the years, after the Hunt’s went public, they issued a portion of the stock to the public. The stockholders’ shares have been diluted quite a bit. Everyone in the family should know that.”

If the Hunts wanted to become powerful, they had to issue stock to finance it. Naturally, the shares held by family members would shrink.

In fact, although they called it issuing stock, and although a portion of the stock had indeed been purchased by the shareholders, most of the stock had been purchased by Justin himself!

So Justin’s shares had not been diluted in all these years and had remained at 51%.

Lawrence continued, “54% ten years ago is now less than 5%. The boss figured since you gave him life, he’d give you a little more.”

Herman: “!”

Herman was furious. “A hundred million ten years ago is not worth the same as a hundred million today!”.

“That’s true.”

Lawrence said, “The boss has already exchanged it for its current value and even considered the depreciation of the dollar. Otherwise, he wouldn’t even have one percent of the stock.”

Herman: “…”

He was not expecting this outcome. He looked at Justin and said angrily, “Are you trying to take the Hunts for yourself?”

Justin calmly replied, “I’m just taking back what belongs to me.”

He had brought the Hunts to where they were today. Within ten years, the Hunt estate had grown by several hundred fold. Although the family members’ stock had shrunk, whose money hadn’t multiplied by more than a hundred?

When he, Justin, thought about Herman and Elder Lord Hunt’s intentions, he instantly realized something and asked Lawrence to calculate all the money he had made over the years.

Since he had chosen to make this public today, how could he not be prepared?

He didn’t care about the Hunt’s money, but….

The company he was nonchalantly running couldn’t be taken away just like that.

Herman took a deep breath.

He hadn’t expected Justin to have such meticulous records. He couldn’t find any errors in his work.

At first he had thought Justin was unprepared, but now?

He could only recover 5% of the shares.

However, 5% was also an important share.

Seeing his hesitation, Lawrence said, “Mr. Hunt, are you going to sign this or not? If you don’t sign it, then you will sign it over to my boss. That’s good too. If not, my boss would only have a little over 40% of the stock left. Gee.”

When Herman heard this, he signed it without hesitation.

After signing it, he looked up again. “Justin, don’t think you’re going to win just because of this. You only have 46% of the stock now. You can’t decide anything.”

With that, he held up the 5% shares in his hand and said, “As a 5% shareholder of the company, I will cooperate with the others and ask for the president to be elected again. Roger! How many shares do you have?”

When Roger from the side family heard this, he said, “7%.”

“How much is it? I’ll buy it!”

Herman had also made a lot of money from his overseas business in recent years. It was safe to say that he was now rich. He said directly, “Also, for the Hunt stock, anyone who wants to sell it at a high price can come and get me.”

Roger looked at Justin and then at Herman. The latter immediately chose sides without hesitation. “Herman, what are you saying? Damn it, we have 7% of the stock. You don’t have to buy it either. I’ll give you the right to talk without it.”

Wasn’t it good to see the father and son duo at each other’s throats?

“Okay, let’s have a chat, who has more shares? My old friends from back then must still be in the company…”

Herman and the side family people left Justin’s villa.

Elder Mrs. Hunt stood there, her figure trembling. She looked at Justin and shouted, “Justin, I have 10% of the shares. No, don’t blame me…. If you make a decision, you can come and get me! If I give you that 10%, then you’ll still be the boss of the Hunts.”

With that, he left.

After everyone left, Nora said goodbye to Justin and got ready to go home to sleep.

After all, she hadn’t had a good night’s rest for a few days.

As for Justin’s business, she would talk about it when he woke up.

Iris also went upstairs to escort the three children. When everyone left, Lawrence approached Justin. “Boss, you could have given him only 1% of the shares, why did you give him 5%? You now have less than 50%. You no longer own full control.”

Justin looked at him and calmly said, “If we don’t give him some hope, will those demons show their faces?”.

Lawrence: “?”

Lawrence coughed.

It turned out that the Chief was planning to clean out the Hunts!

He said, “Then let’s…”

Justin no longer had the lonely feeling of having been betrayed. He was once again king of the world, as if everything was under his control.

He said slowly, “Doesn’t Sean have 4% of the stock? Let him spread the word that he plans to sell them and see how many people are interested in those shares.”

“Yes, sir!”

Sean’s stock was his stock.

Therefore, Justin had always kept 50%!

Lawrence asked, “So, about Philip…”

No sooner had he said this than Justin’s phone rang. He opened it and realized it was the Imperial League chat page. Someone asked, “Who has Hunt Corporation stock? I’m willing to buy them at a high price.”

Justin scoffed at the sight.
