Despite his age, Newton exuded the senergy and sharpness he had in his younger days, even when surrounded by the board
members brimming with vigor.
Despite his quiet presence in the wheelchair, an intimidating atmosphere clung to him.
In an instant, Javier was transported back to the days when he worked under Newton's strict supervision.
"Good day, Mr. Javier and all fellow board members. | assno one has any objections to my presence at this meeting?"
