If Jack weren't present in the hall or if Patrick hadn't noticed him, Patrick would naturally have the right to handle the financing and partnership matters on his own and simply report back to Jack afterward. After all, there was mutual trust between them.
However, since Jack was nearby and could very well hear the conversation, Patrick naturally had to respect his opinion. In fact, as long as Jack was present, any major decision regarding the company's development had to be finalized by him.
Upon hearing Patrick's words, the expressions of the people around them immediately changed.
Drakengard Games was at its peak, and Patrick had been the one managing most of its affairs. No one had ever heard of another co-founder.
Yet, from Patrick's attitude, it seemed that this mysterious partner held an extremely significant position in the company.
Everyone couldn't help but speculate—who exactly was this mysterious co-founder?
Their minds conjured up the image of a middle-aged man with a round face, a big belly, and a cunning, ruthless demeanor—someone who would devour people without leaving anything behind.
What they did not expect was that this person would be someone younger, taller, and even more charismatic than Patrick.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Patrick made his way through the crowd and walked up to Jack.
With a smile, he asked, "Where have you been? I've been looking for you. A few investors were discussing the financing with me. I think their offer is reasonable, but I need you to make the final decision."
Immediately, all eyes turned to Jack.
Ignoring the shocked, skeptical, disbelieving, and even furious expressions around him, Jack simply smiled and said, "I told you before. You can make these decisions entirely on your own."
