He let out a low shout, but there was no movement outside.
“It seems like no one is listening to you.” Gavin clapped his hands. “Guards…”
The team of guards that was supposed to belong to the Snow family instantly sprang up from all sides, pointing their guns at the Snow family.
A senior captain stepped out and knelt on one knee in front of Gavin. “Team Nine pledges allegiance to Minister Mead from today onward.”
“Finn, I single -handedly trained you but you dare to betray me?” Nathan turned pale. Team Nine was the most loyal and closest team around him and was responsible for his personal safety. He did not expect them to change to Gavin’s side.
“A wise man submits to circumstances.” Finn snorted coldly. “Besides, nine teams have already jumped ship to work for Minister Mead. He promised us higher positions and more money. It’s natural to progress according to our own ideals. “
“What about you guys?” Nathan looked at the guests coldly. “Are you all going to betray me? Don’t forget that you were all supported by me.”
The crowd trembled. A man in his 5os stepped forward and mustered up the courage to say, ” Minister Mead, Prime Minister Snow really did treat us—“
Before he could finish, Finn opened fire and the man instantly fell to the floor, dead.
The guests were instantly horrified, and none of them dared to speak. Some people stood up and tried to fawn over Gavin. “I think that Minister Mead is more capable. Nathan, just hand over your power and let Minister Mead manage the country. I believe that under Minister Mead’s leadership, Australia will reach even higher.”
“Minister Mead? Just call him Prime Minister Mead. Prime Minister Mead, we’ll listen to you.”
“Prime Minister Mead, I’ve always felt that you were more suitable to be prime minister. After Nathan came to power, Australia’s economy was tossed into disarray. You’re much more capable than him.”
“Prime Minister Mead, the Jarvis family is willing to donate 5o billion dollars to support your administration.”
All of a sudden.
The banquet hall was full of flattery.
Gavin laughed in triumph at all the praise. “Well, since you’re all so discerning, I can’t let you down. Nathan, hand over the prime minister’s seal, or I’ll have no choice but to kill your family’s descendants first.”
With his command, the guards pointed their guns at Rodney, Ryan, and the others.
“You… You…” Nathan shook like a leaf. His eyes swept over the guests in the banquet hall one by one. They were once the people he relied on the most, but he did not expect them all to betray him today.
“Hurry up,” Gavin warned, saying, “Or I’ll start with your nephew.”
He waved his hand, and the guards immediately grabbed Rodney.
“Stop.” Nathan quickly raised his hand. He glared fiercely at Gavin. “I’m curious where you got the money to buy off these people.”
His gaze fell on Wesley. “It’s him, right?”
Wesley’s thin lips curled into a smirk. “Prime Minister Snow, before you became the prime minister, I had some dealings with your family at several banquets. Unfortunately, the Snow family felt that my status was too low and looked down on me. It was Prime Minister Mead’s discerning eyes that made me what I am today.”
“Nathan, it’s thanks to how blind you were before,” Gavin patted Wesley’s arm and said smugly,” Wesley is a rare talent. You supported Shaun in the past, but I bet you didn’t expect things to turn out like this. Now, the business world is in the hands of the Sanderson family. I already plan to marry my daughter to him. By then, the Mead family will have the final say in the country.”
“I was indeed blind.” Nathan let out a long sigh and shook his head helplessly. “In other words, I didn’t just lose to you tonight. I lost to Wesley too.”
“With those eyes, you can’t be prime minister. It’s time for you to get lost.” Wesley walked up to Rodney and patted his face. “Don’t you agree, Young Master Snow? Back then, with your status as Young Master Snow and Shuan’s friend, you looked down on me terribly. What should I do to you today?”
As he spoke, he raised his hand toward Finn, who immediately took a knife and put it in his hand.
Wesley took the knife and pressed it against Rodney’s ear. “Shall I cut off your ear first?”
Rodney’s beautiful eyes looked at him for a few seconds before he suddenly smiled. “Wesley, do you really think you’re the most powerful person in the country? Do you think you’ll soon become the one in control since Golden Corporation’s business has expanded internationally and Jeffery has taken over Lyons Corporation?”
“Of course.”
The person in front of him suddenly calmed down, which made an ominous feeling rise inexplicably in Wesley’s heart.
However, he told himself that Rodney was just scaring him. After all, everything was under his control.
Rodney let out a strange laugh. “Have you ever heard of the saying ¡®extreme joy begets sorrow’? Why don’t you call the head of Golden Corporation abroad and see if your powerful subordinates can still be contacted?
“Or you can call Wade Middleton in Lyons Corporation. See if you can get through his phone.”
With Rodney’s sudden affirmation, Wesley’s body stiffened in spite of himself.
Wesley had spent many years planning everything before coming to this point. No, his plan could not have gone wrong.
“Wesley, what does he mean?”
Gavin pulled a long face and walked toward him. Now that he was only one step away from success, he would not allow anything to go wrong.
“Minister Mead, I reckon he’s trying to buy time to throw us into chaos. We don’t have to treat his words seriously, ” Wesley said with a deep, indifferent voice, “What matters most now is that we need to take control of everyone in the Snow family.”
“Don’t worry about this. I’ve already assigned some people to keep an eye on the Snows. They’ve probably been besieged by our people by now.”
Gavin shifted his cold gaze to Nathan. “Nathan, the Snow family has become a shadow of its former self. Pass the seal to me, and I’ll consider not taking your dad’s life. Otherwise, I’ll deal with your dad and brother before your turn.”
Once he finished speaking, Nathan’s furious face flashed with an imperceptible smile. At this moment, he behaved as though he was born to be the prime minister. “Gavin, do you think that I’d be bold enough to attend this banquet unprepared?”
Gavin was momentarily stunned, but the next moment, he appeared untroubled. “So what? You must not know that the whole of Canberra, except for your security guards, has fallen into my clutches. I’ve even occupied the prime minister’s office.”
“Really?” Nathan stared fixedly at Wesley without panicking at all. Instead, he smiled even more broadly.
It dawned on the guests that something was not right with Nathan. Consequently, they began to panic.
“Don’t worry, everyone. The Snow family can’t possibly make a comeback.” Gavin comforted all the influential and wealthy guests with his calm voice.
Ryan suddenly chuckled. “Dad, just tell them the truth. Now that Gavin has shown the cloven hoof, he’ll appear together with his gang this time. We can jump at this opportunity to round them up in one fell swoop.”
The living room echoed with his eerie laughter, causing more people to feel uneasy for no reason.
“Minister Mead, are you sure you’re infallible?” Finn approached Gavin nervously.
Gavin glowered at him. Before he could speak, a commotion suddenly arose behind him.
By the time he came to his senses, Shaun had snatched a gun from the security guard beside him and quickly pressed it at Hannah’s temple.
“What are you doing?!” Hannah screamed with fright.
“Shut up.” Shaun dragged her into his arms and jabbed the gun harder at her temple. He bent over and looked down with a threatening smile. “If you rattle on, I’m going to shoot you in your ear.”
“Shaun, what are you doing? Let go of my daughter!” Gavin flew into a rage. “Are you asking for death?”
“Minister Mead, calm down. This… could be Prime Minister Snow’s plan.” Wesley gripped Gavin. “But it’s foolish how he’s trying to turn things around by threatening you with your daughter.”
Gavin was momentarily stunned. He then furrowed his brows.
Hannah was his only daughter whom he had always pampered. Even so, if he were to choose between his daughter and power, he would choose the latter.
After all, even if he lost his daughter, he could still have more children after rising to the top.
Perhaps Gavin could have many sons by then.
” If he’s planning to threaten me with Hannah, he can dream on,” Gavin suddenly said grimly.
Madam Mead yelled, “Are you crazy? She’s our biological daughter. You can’t leave her high and dry.”
Hannah was trembling all over. “Dad, please save me. I don’t want to die.”
“Hannah, if I give in today, Nathan will destroy our family later.” Gavin sighed helplessly. “Shaun, I can give you 200 billion dollars as long as you let go of her. I’ll also guarantee that the Lyons family can live without worries from now on.”
“Hah! How funny. Who can be sure that you’ll keep your promise?” Shaun narrowed his eyes and smiled at Hannah. “Miss Mead, didn’t you just ask me to be your dog?”
“I… I was kidding. ” Hannah’s legs shook with fear. “As long as you put down the gun, I’m willing to marry you. We can even get married now, and also… let me remind you that your son is still with us.”
“Are you sure my son is still with you guys?” Shaun asked playfully, “Take him out for me to see.”
Madam Mead shouted at the security guards, ” Hurry up and bring him over! “
