This scene here.
Was an absolute classic!
Alban was a top-notch wealthy businessman who had a certain degree of influence in Mustiece Province and even most of the southeast region. Yet, here he was, being pointed at and scolded by Henry.
Henry even threatened Alban by saying that he would cause Seatreasures International’s share price to plummet.
This scene reminded the crowd of something.
It was like their neighbor’s child was pointing fingers at them and threatening to light their house on fire.
Everyone present felt their scalp grow numb.
Their gazes all instinctively shifted to Alban, wondering how this huge figure that dominated the southeast region was going to react.
Alban’s smile slowly vanished as well.
He had to be crazy if he could still smile at such a time. After all, this had nothing to do with how complex the man’s thoughts were.
“Mr. Law, there has been no history of resentment between us and the Law family. I was also polite to you, so why do you have to force my hand right from the start?” Alban suppressed his fury and asked.
Everyone else became even more confused when they heard Alban admit defeat so quickly.
They began to wonder who exactly Henry, and this Law family, was.
There was no powerful Law family in the Mainlands.
Therefore, why was Alban, such a powerful figure, terrified of a young man’s threats?
Henry sneered and said, “Stop acting in front of me. As if your dog would dare to bear its fangs at me without your instructions!”
Alban looked back and saw the pale-faced middle-aged manager. He asked in a deep tone, “What the hell happened?!”
Someone immediately stepped up and relayed the whole incident to Alban.
Alban was infuriated when he heard the story and he looked at the middle-aged manager who was trembling on the ground. His eyes were cold as he shouted, ‘Do you even know who Mr. Law is?!
“It’s our honor to invite someone like him, yet you dare to shoo such an important VIP away! Are you f*cking stupid or what?!”
The middle-aged man fell backward with a thud when he was shouted at. He now understood that he had gotten himself in deep trouble.
“Mr. Ball, forgive me, please. I didn’t know. All I knew is that Mr. Dudley doesn’t like Mr. Laine so I purposefully tried to pick on them. I was only doing it for our group and the Teo Chamber of Commerce’s sake, Mr. Ball. Please forgive me!”
“Yo, what a loyal dog you’ve got there.”
Henry sneered. “For the sake of your Teo Chamber of Commerce and the group, huh? Is that why you thought you could trample all over me?”
Alban’s expression was grim and he felt the urge to swallow this brainless middle-aged manager alive.
How could he say something like that in public?
As expected, the crowd all looked at Alban weirdly, as if he had just been made a fool of.
“Mr. Ball, since this has matter has already been clarified, then I believe it’s best Henry and I leave. It’s only natural we do so.”
Jasper suddenly said calmly.
“Since this forum is of such high standards, then it’s best if neither of us joins in case someone interrogates us for being questionable people again.”
Jasper’s words caused Alban’s expression to turn even darker.
