Pa. Andrew introduced James to be his grandson, his Parents had labored in this industry before their demise. Their mouth was agape, they were finding it difficult to believe it.
James was dressed in a well-tailored suit in a neutral grey color with matching pants, an elegant shirt, Italian shoes, and a limited wristwatch.
James' entrance, dressing, and composure were breathtaking, everyone was enthralled by him including Matt. He was not aware that his Cousin is the mantra, he lost it this time because the said name cannot be competed with. Mantras was said to have everything at his command.
He wondered where his goons were, they should have at least stopped him when noticed him or had they been ambushed. He could not think straight, he promised to check on them immediately after the meeting.
His goons were seen in a locked underground room shouting for help, James armed men were seen guiding the entrance. The personnel were able to round them off last night, without any escaping they captured them all and brought them to the underground room.
James introduced himself to the board members and asked for their cooperation. He just had a few words to tell them and that's all. It was followed by an applause, Pa. Andrew Secretary led them to the conference room, where Journalists and some news outlets handlers were waiting.
The industry handover has spread like wildfire in the forest, the journalists and other news outlets were there to cover it. The press conference begins immediately after they have settled on their chairs.

Joy sat up from the bed and was just regaining strength and health, she had slept for a long period. She left her room downstairs. Ms. Gloria took hold of her and they returned to her room. She asked James he told her, he left for work, she helped her take care of her needs like bathing, and feeding, and returned to sleep after that as she was just regaining strength.

He asked them to take care of him, that the secret must not be let out not now that James is in town. When his wife heard she was terrified and asked her husband to move fast on the matter.
