Betrayed, But Not Defeated novel Chapter 169

Zane spoke in a cocky tone. "Don't look at me like that. It's not like I decide where my supplies go. They've long been sold before this!"

"You!" Howard was enraged.

Zane continued, "Anyway, Mr. Walsh, are you still buying? We've got another batch of goods. If you don't want them, I'll just sell them to Ashcroft Cosmetics."

Bryson's body trembled with rage at that point. "Why would I still want them? They've already dispatched their goods. There's no difference in buying now!"

As soon as the words were spoken, those who had been watching Zane immediately turned their attention elsewhere.

"Mr. Walsh, you can't say that! We've invested a lot in this batch of goods. If you don't take them, who else are we supposed to sell to?"

"Exactly! To make up for the loss, I specifically brought in extra stock, just in case our competitors don't have enough capital and the goods end up flooding the market. You can't just refuse to take them, can you?"

Everyone immediately started talking all at once. Bryson was stunned.

"Let's put that topic aside for now. I'll have to discuss it with the headquarters!" Bryson said, becoming much more cautious and no longer speaking recklessly.

He then turned to Zane and said, "Since you've already shipped the goods, I can tell you clearly—don't even think about doing business in Legate again!"

"Wow. That's a threat." Oscar slowly entered the room from the outside.

"What's going on? Where's security? How could you just let anyone walk in?" Bryson chided, upset to see Oscar here.

However, Howard's eyes widened in shock. "Mr. Geller Senior, what brings you here?"

Oscar was quite well-known in Qranross, but as for Bryson… His level had always been too low to even come into contact with Oscar. Even with Ernest backing him up, he was still too green.

The authoritative old man waved. "I'll be getting by in the Herbal Association from now. You wouldn't mind that, would you, Mr. Pace?"
