Can't Win Me Back

"Today, I have two items I'd like to announce..."

Colene paused. She had a fiery gaze in her eyes. "The first announcement is that I will officially take over Nathan's position. I will be managing Ivory Group and Ivory Gang's 13 divisions in Solana City.

"The second announcement is that from this moment onward, drugs will be completely banned within The Ivory Gang!"

Right at that moment, the conference room was in an uproar as a complete ban on drugs was a massive blow to them.

Within less than six months, almost all of The Ivory was under the drug's control. All 13 divisions, from the lowest of ranks to the highest, were involved with the drug.

Furthermore, the hefty profits from the drug were splendid. Colene's announcement was messing with their slices of the pie!

"I disagree!"

"Me too!"This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

The meeting attendees started shouting their disagreement.

Colene clenched her hands into fists on the table. Her eyes became reddened.

On the other hand, Alyssa looked overly calm as she remained seated confidently next to her.

"This directive is absurd, Ms. Colene! The Ivory's rule is that we are not to have drug dealings. But what we're selling is a type of medication, not a drug! Why can't we sell it?"

Harry was someone who sold significant amounts of the medication. He protested the moment he heard that drugs were going to be banned.

"You declared that drugs would be banned for no good reason. This is equivalent to cutting off our members' access to making money! Business hasn't been good in the first place. The 13 divisions were only able to get by thanks to the sales of the drugs. How will everyone make a living if you call for a ban like this?"

"That's right! It's immoral to sever our avenue for making a living!"

The members were all in agreement with one another.

"Although that product isn't a narcotic, it is an illegal medication. Because of this product, a few lives have been lost within Solana City. Some of the deaths have even been linked to The Ivory!"

Trying to get through to them was exhausting. In a clear voice, Colene continued, "The person who developed the medication did it with ulterior motives. They might have an even more harmful purpose behind doing so. If we do not ban the medication now, it will be too late

when the entire organization keels

over!

"The police are already on high alert because of this. They also already have their eyes on The Ivory. If we don't put a stop to this, our members will really end up not being able to make a living!" "That would just be their luck. It's not the drug's fault!"

Harry refused to yield to Colene's instructions. With a wave of his hand and a gleam of greed in his eyes, he added, "Even other gangs in the other areas are short of supply for this medication right now. There is an inflation in the price per pill. It is the perfect time to earn big bucks.

"You say that the coppers are on high alert? That sounds like a good thing to me! As the saying goes, high risk, high returns!"

Colene was burning with so much rage that her stomach started cramping.

She was already losing her cool even though it had barely been an hour since she sat down in this seat. At this moment, she finally understood why Marc's health had been deteriorating all these years. "Ms. Colene, since you want to ban the medication, we have nothing else to discuss with you!"

Harry got up. He had a gloomy expression on his face. The others followed suit, demonstrating their rebellious attitude.

"From now on, I am officially leaving The Ivory's management!

"I will be in charge of my own earnings. The Ivory does not have to bother about me. My comrades and I will no longer work for the Waters family!" Harry declared.

Colene rolled her eyes.

"The same goes for us!"

Seven or eight division heads had risen to their feet in the blink of an eye. "I'd be an idiot not to take the profitable route now! Since the Waters family wishes for us to be

out of a job, there's no poinoal net

in us

pursuing this matter!"

More than half of the senior members went against Colene. It looked as if they had conspired to do so beforehand.

Their attendance today wasn't to participate in the meeting but to pressure Colene into leaving.

Just as they were about to leave the conference room, Alyssa, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up.
