"You saw what happened with Franco, Henley, and Lance. Anyone who steps up will be doomed.
"Mr. Lennon must be behind this. Tatum Corporation is in this situation because of him."
The argument became quite heated at the mention of Mr. Lennon.
"What can we do? Mr. Lennon is too terrifying. How many of us can do what he did? Let's just surrender. It's not a good idea to make an enemy of Mr. Lennon."
"Surrender? Are you kidding me? Do you think Mr. Lennon will let us go just because we gave him our business? You're talking idiotic nonsense!"
One person nodded. "That's right. Mr. Lennon obviously wants us dead. You saw what he did to us."
Many people sighed at this.
"So what? As you know, we have no one to supply raw materials and sell our equipment. It won't take more than a week for Tatum Corporation to collapse."
"What do you think we should do?" one person could not help asking.
The speaker looked solemn. He took a deep breath, glanced at the people in his sight, and said, "Why don't we find a way to kill Mr. Lennon?"
The man said and made a throat-slitting gesture.
The whole conference room fell silent at this.
They looked at the man's actions in shock.
"Is that a good idea? Mr. Lennon has a security firm."
The man said solemnly, "So what? Are they as good as professional hitmen? I have connections. Once Mr. Lennon is taken care of, all our problems will be solved.
"Think about it. If this goes on, we'll all be doomed. If Mr. Lennon dies, we have a good chance of taking over his company. When that happens, we'll get a new chance at living.
"Do you want to see yourselves destroyed, or do you want to seize this opportunity?"
The man said and raised his hand.
"Those who agree with me, raise your hand."
