Wizard Earl

Chapter 295 The Development History of Mr. De Sciglio

After listening attentively to De Sciglio's explanation, old Victor asked, "Has that old fox Sissoko made any moves lately?"

"That old codger Sissoko hasn't publicly expressed his opinion yet, but he thinks I don't know that Barzagli, this Z-type, is a spy he planted among me. He probably had Barzagli help me contact our secret society, and his real intention is to do the same to Schultz and Hector. I can just go along with it and meet with you openly!" De Sciglio's eyes flashed with disdain as he mentioned Sissoko, speaking with a hint of contempt.

"What exactly happened in North Lecce? We've received intelligence that the foreign legions of Persis and Fast have launched a surprise attack on North Lecce, including at least five full-fledged wizards and dozens of apprentices, under the cover of the Lance tribe's heavy artillery," Old Victor continued, his expression grave.

"The affairs of North Lecce and even the entire border with the Lance tribe have always been handled by Rebic and Sissoko. I'm not a director of the East Hoy Company, so I'm not very clear about what's going on there. I only know that Rebic and Sissoko are leading a very important experiment there, and the real target of those foreign legions attacking North Lecce is that experiment. Tonight I will have a Magic Mirror joint meeting with them to discuss the results of today's negotiations with the Secret Society. I should be able to get more information out of them at the meeting!" Descior spread his hands helplessly.

Apart from the shareholders' meeting, which is located far away in the Kaman Empire and only receives dividends and does not actually control the East Hoy Company, the real power of the East Hoy Company is held by its board of directors. Although there is a board of directors, since the chairman of East Hoy Company, Redondo, voluntarily transferred the power of East Hoy Company to other members of the board of directors on the grounds of being too old and lacking energy twenty years ago, becoming the nominal leader of East Hoy Company, the real power of East Hoy Company is in the hands of the other five directors of the board. These five directors are Rebic, Maguire, Hector, Schulz and Sissoko, who were just mentioned by De Sciglio.

The five directors are usually responsible for their respective areas of Donghuyi. They only get together to discuss countermeasures when something involves the entire Donghuyi company!

With a half-smile, old Victor glanced at De Sciglio and said casually, "The professor told me to tell you that the five-member board of directors of East Hoy Corporation has remained unchanged for twenty years. It's time for a change!"

Old Victor spoke in a calm tone, but when these words reached De Sciglio's ears, even a man as cunning as De Sciglio could not hide the look of wild joy in his eyes!

In the noble families of Kaman, not counting illegitimate children, there are many male descendants. However, only one person can inherit the family title and power. In order to prevent the family's strength from being greatly lost, it is impossible to divide the family. The remaining people can only distribute a portion of the family's wealth and go their separate ways. If you are lucky, the family will give you a monthly allowance every year. If you are unlucky, you can only fend for yourself.

Although Mr. De Sciglio and Mr. Paul Ranieri, who later inherited the Ranieri family, were full brothers, Mr. De Sciglio did not give up in the struggle for the inheritance because Paul was his older brother. In the end, Paul defeated him and won the family inheritance, becoming the first in line to inherit the family. He also ostracized his younger brother.

Knowing he could not rise in the Ranieri family, Monsieur de Sciglio was unwilling to live a life of mediocrity and become a good-for-nothing like an ordinary nobleman. After pleading with his father, Count Ranieri, he began his "journey to Hoy" with the help of the family and many other young people in the Caman Empire at the time.

Although both were "venturing into Hoy," Mr. Desilio's noble status gave him a natural advantage over ordinary people. Under the influence of Count Ranieri, Mr. Desilio, upon arriving in Hoy, transformed into a mid-level manager in East Hoy. However, just as Desilio was brimming with confidence and eager to make a name for himself in Hoy with his family's support, reality dealt him a heavy blow. Although the Ranieri family was an earldom, a high-ranking noble family in the Kaman Empire, given the general decline of the nobility, the Ranieri family's influence could only help Mr. Desilio this far. From there, he would have to rely on himself!

Furthermore, after the death of Count Ranieri, and the rise of his elder brother Paul Ranieri as the new Count Ranieri, the Ranieri family's support for Mr. De Sciglio became virtually nonexistent. Therefore, despite his aristocratic background, Mr. De Sciglio appeared even more mediocre among the hundreds of middle-level managers at the East Hoy Company…

Just when Mr. De Sciglio was becoming somewhat despondent, a benefactor appeared in his life. Professor Reyes of the Secret Society, who was also Connor's mentor, found him and made a deal with him. The deal was simple: the Secret Society would help De Sciglio develop within East Hoy Company, and De Sciglio would completely submit to the Secret Society and become a spy planted by the Secret Society within East Hoy Company.

From then on, De Sciglio, who had been unknown in East Hoy Company without family support, gradually became the only candidate director of East Hoy Company!

"Could you tell me, Professor, if you intend to do it? I'd like to be prepared!" After the initial surprise, the shrewd Mr. De Sciglio quickly regained his composure. After a moment's thought, he carefully chose his words and asked old Victor:

"It won't hurt to tell you, you won't become the sixth director!" Old Victor said meaningfully.

Upon hearing this, Mr. De Sciglio's expression remained unchanged, but his pupils suddenly shrank to pinpoints. He wouldn't become the sixth director? Didn't this imply that he would become one of the current five directors on the East Hoy Corporation's board of directors? And the current board was full; if he became a new director, wouldn't that mean that one of Rebic, Maguire, Hector, Schulz, and Sissoko would lose their position on the board…?

As far as De Sciglio knew about these five guys, they were all people who valued power above all else. There was only one way to get them to give up their positions as directors of the East Hoy Company: kill them!
