Although Jasper was raining on Rowan’s parade, Rowan did not feel anything wrong at all, nor did he intend to take it up with him.Whether it be their experience of working together or the things they saw and heard during the time they worked together, he trusted Jasper completely now.Since Jasper pointed out an issue with his idea, he must be right.“Jasp, I understand what you’re getting at. Qari is a country full of warlords, after all. They’re unique in their own way, but they’re all essentially the same in terms of economic activity. There can’t be too big of a difference.”Meanwhile, Celine was unconvinced.She had discussed those plans with Rowan day and night.With her employment history and professional experience, she believed that she had considered every detail when devising the plan.Plus, she was aware that Rowan had never dealt with an unstable market due to war.For investment bankers like them, risk meant huge opportunity, and this especially applied to countr

Although things did not go as planned, Rowan was not that nervous. Instead, he was even more excited.He could feel himself gravitating toward the thrill of the challenge.This experience was incomparable to a life of staying indoors.Before leaving, he said to Jasper seriously, “Jasper, I won’t let you down this time.”Jasper smiled as he patted his shoulder. “Relax, Rowan. I know you can do it.”Celine cheered him on and said sweetly, “Good luck, Rowan.”Rowan, who had seen her true colors, was not motivated by her words. Instead, a look of horror appeared on his face.In the past few days they spent together, he realized that every time Celine made that face, it meant she was about to make a move.So, whenever Rowan heard her speak sweetly, his hair would automatically stand on end.Celine’s face instantly changed.She had been working on the negotiations with him for the past few days, so he was starting to grow on her. She was also ready to put Rowan’s cross-dressing inc

They walked into the general manager’s office together.The office's interior was extremely lavish, with antiques and murals everywhere.As the son of a noble family, Rowan could recognize most of the antiques at first glance.The grandeur of this office alone was comparable to that of presidents of third-world countries.However, this was just the office of the general manager of a processing plant owned by the Kurt family.Not to mention, the processing plant was one of the Kurt family’s least profitable projects.This proved how much money the Kurts have made from oil over the years.However, Rowan could not help but doubt.How could such a big family, who raked in that much money every single day, have a cash flow shortage in their processing plant?Although there was a long payback period in oil trading, the amount of funds they received in the past should be astronomical. No matter how he looked at it, there was no way they could not afford to cover the cost of daily ope

Rowan’s mind was currently elsewhere.He was wondering who was supporting Amir.No one would believe that Amir got to this position based on his ability alone.He must have someone supporting him behind the scenes because, with his qualifications, it would be impossible for him to stand out among the many people who wanted the general manager position at Gruel Processing Plant.It came down to two possible candidates.Kimbra or Sahar.It must be one of them.If Rowan could figure out who that person was, he would be able to predict the direction of the negotiation, which would put them at an advantage.However, he could not figure out who it was for the life of him.While Rowan was still deep in thought, Amir had already sat down in his exquisitely crafted leather chair.After lighting the cut cigar, the henchman handed it to Amir.Amir took the cigar and squinted while he inhaled with enjoyment. Then, he turned to glance at Rowan before saying calmly, “So, you’re the person

For some reason, Rowan suddenly recalled Jasper’s hesitant words before leaving.Celine almost fought with Jasper about this back then.“But, Rowan, you have to remember that everything you do now has a major prerequisite, and that is a normal and orderly trading market.“And Qari is not one of them.”Although Rowan was sincere at the time, he felt like Jasper was making a fuss out of a molehill, just like Celine.However, he now understood why Jasper had told him this.Qari was indeed different from Somerland in terms of market conditions.This was something so crucial, and yet it was like child’s play to Amir.His secretary had full authority while he was playing around as if this was nothing.It was as if he was selling his inheritance without a second thought about how hard his forebears worked for it.No.Even if Amir was just a collateral relative, he was still a Kurt.He was responsible for these transactions, and the results would also affect his future in his famil

Rowan laughed in anger.“So, you tricked us here and then expected us to buy your non-existent bonds with an astronomical amount of money gratefully, huh?“Should I thank you then?”It was as if Khan did not understand Rowan’s sarcasm. He just said calmly, “You don’t have to thank me. After all, this is just a fair and mutually beneficial deal. Just remember not to owe us any balance. It’ll be better if you pay us in full.“After all, we’ve dealt with a few Somerlanders before, and we still doubt their credibility.”Slam!With a fist down on the table, Rowan finally stopped suppressing the anger in his heart.“F*ck you! You tricked us here to buy your useless bonds, and you dare to call this a fair and mutually beneficial deal?“This is a scam!“You’re scamming us, and now you’re doubting a Somerlander’s credibility.“I see. You never wanted to deal with us, let alone treat us with sincerity.”A look of anger also appeared on Khan’s face.“You Somerlanders are so rude! You

Rowan’s face changed. Then he heard the sound of bullets chambered.A voice screamed in Rowan’s head, ‘Oh no, they’re resorting to violence now!‘They’re trying to deal using coercion!’As soon as he had this thought, Rowan felt a huge force pulling him outward.Julian, who had long sensed something was wrong, kicked open the door and pulled Rowan out.Brock kicked down the attendant who was about to take action and ran out with the two of them.He could hear Amir’s angry shouts behind him."Stop them! Damn it, stop them!"Julian and Brock were not the only ones who came with Rowan. They also brought many guards recruited from the previous oil fields. So, most of them were mercenaries and had strong combat capabilities.Because of their relationship with the Elvis family and with the help of the Elvis family’s military, they had gun licenses and could keep their guns and weapons.Soon after, their guards started fighting with the Gruel guards.Just like what Julian and Brock

When they arrived at Gruel, Julian, and Brock sensed something was not right. So, they immediately notified Jasper that they needed more reinforcements.In addition to their bodyguards who were dispatched urgently, some of these responders were members of the Elvis family.After Warwick heard Jasper’s plan, he became particularly concerned about Jasper’s subsequent plans.To protect the safety of Jasper and others, he had been secretly deploying his family’s bodyguards to protect them nearby. He even went to his uncle in the military and asked him to send some soldiers to assist him when necessary.Naturally, Julian and Brock had their contact.When Brock saw the reinforcements, he relaxed. He patted Julian on the shoulder and laughed loudly, “You’re so smart! You sensed that something was not right soon after we entered. I would have been waiting there stupidly if you hadn’t given me a nudge.”“Brock, please stop flattering me. I knew you could sense something was up without me
