Chapter 2497

Chapter 2497“Why? How are we not qualified to own so many oil fields? Our ancestors left us the oil fields so they
should always belong to us!”
Kimbra was now filled with fear. He knew very well that the Elvis family’s move was tantamount to pulling
the carpet from under them.
“Why?” Elder Sahar sneered.
“It’s because our oil can only stay in our oil field. We can’t process them so we can’t sell them! Who
would want unprocessed oil? We can’t transport the unprocessed oil as well because they control most
of the ships transporting oil!”
“We don’t have time! My men told me that the president is inclined to agree with our competitor’s
proposal. Even with what our factories can make, we can hardly meet the conditions for petroleum
processing! We need to resolve this now, or it’s over for us! These petroleum fields are our everything!
We cannot afford to lose this!” Elder Sahar roared.
Kimbra looked less furious, but his frown had yet to unfurl fully.
He knew his family, and his position as the head of the family, were at risk.
Suddenly, someone spoke up. “Perhaps you should step down, Kimbra. Your impulsiveness was what
brought the Elvis family to our door. Everything will be alright again once you step down.”
Now that someone had spoken up, more piped in to demand that Kimbra step down.
“You are no longer suited to be our leader, Kimbra. Step down before you bring ruin to us all.”
“He’s right. This would never have happened if Baltimore was still our leader. You have brought disaster
to our family, Kimbra!”Kimbra frowned, irked and displeased by the endless demands for him to step down. Now, he
understood why these people had been asking for a clan meeting, they were going to overthrow him.
Everything they had discussed earlier was a mere excuse to hide their true goal. However, what chilled
Kimbra’s heart the most was that many of his trusted confidants were among those who declared he
stepped down.
These men had betrayed him for a taste of power, just like how he betrayed his father and brother
before.
It irked Kimbra!
His hand hovered over the pistol at his waist. He said with a voice devoid of warmth, “Hmph. You want to
lead the Kurts? Fine, but how long can you keep your seat, hmm? Have you forgotten how I came to be
your leader?”
Everyone fell silent as they recalled the bloody overthrow of power not too long ago.
novelbinIt was a night in which they had not only lost Baltimore and Robbins but had also seen the deaths of far
too many of their own.
“There’s no need to be afraid of him, guys! He’s only succeeded back then because he had the
Rothschild’s support! Don’t you guys remember what that man promised us? With his protection, Kimbra
would never dare to hurt us!” A voice of discord rang out and was immediately followed by voices of
agreement.
“Step down, Kimbra!”
Everyone protested.
Kimbra’s expression froze and fury made itself in the tightness of the muscles on his face.
