Chapter 234 Who is the President
Brittany's statement blindsided Jessica.
"Why do you need to take Daniel with you? Do you want him to pretend to be your boyfriend?"
"Boyfriend? He doesn't qualify! I'm bringing the country boy back because my grandfather has someold ailments that many hospitals haven't been able to cure. So, I want him to take a look; maybe hehas a way."
Jessica hesitated for a moment before nodding.
"Okay."
But Daniel seemed reluctant.
"Hone—"
Just as he was about to call her "dear," Jessica shot him a piercing look, and Daniel quicklychanged his address.
"Boss, I’m your assistant. Isn't it inappropriate for you to lend me to another woman?"
"Really? I don’t see why it would be," Jessica retorted, then sensing something odd about Daniel'sstatement, she scolded him. "What do you mean 'lend you to another woman'? Brittany'sgrandfather is ill, and I’m sending you to help look after him. You’re helping a colleague. Is there aproblem with that?"
After saying this, Jessica subtly reminded Daniel of company rules.
"Daniel, I want to remind you seriously, according to company policy, relationships betweenemployees are not allowed. If an office romance occurs, the individual in the higher position must
resign of their own accord."
Though she appeared to be warning Daniel, Jessica’s words were clearly meant for Brittany. If arelationship formed, the one who had to resign was undoubtedly Brittany, since she held the highestposition in The Matthews Organization next to Jessica.
"So, Jessica, you're saying if I were to date you, you'd have to resign. And then I would take overThe Matthews Organization?" Daniel teased Jessica, earning a light punch from her.
"Are you asking for trouble? How dare you scheme against me? If you ever talk like this again, I'llfire you on the spot!"
Meanwhile, elsewhere within Martial Club United, the members wasted no time in giving theJapanese fighters a sound thrashing. Although they didn't beat any of them to death, they left theJapanese fighters disabled, condemned to spend the remainder of their lives bedridden at best.
Eventually, they made all the remaining Japanese kneel and issue formal apologies.
"American martial arts are the strongest!"
"Japanese martial arts are trash!"
"We shall never set foot on American soil again from now on."
After extracting a series of promises and thoroughly humiliating the Japanese, they finally let themgo.
With the Japanese fighter matter resolved, Woods stepped forward once more.
"Regarding today's election for president," Woods declared, "I defeated all of you. So, startingtoday, I am—Woods—the president of Martial Club United!"
Ryan immediately voiced his disagreement upon hearing this.
"You've certainly beaten us, but you also lost to the Japanese fighter. It was Daniel who defeatedTakashi Sato. Therefore, Daniel should be the president of Martial Club United!"
"Daniel as president? He's not even a member of Martial Club United. He doesn't own any clubs,and let’s not forget he left before everything was even over, showing he clearly doesn’t want theposition.
Since Daniel has chosen to step down, and as the strongest person here besides him, I shouldnaturally take over his spot. I should be the president of Martial Club United!
If anyone has an issue with this, you have three days to challenge me one-on-one. If no one canbeat me after three days, then the position of president is mine!"
