Life at The Top novel Chapter 2327

“There’s no need to be so pessimistic, Murik. Do you still remember Osmond? The chemist we met when we first came to Bashra.”

Murik looked up as he recalled who Marsha was referring to.

“I do, but didn’t he die during the riot in Saul’s petroleum field? He did, but the testing methods he used still remain. How else would Amber test the other petroleum merchants?”

Murik nodded at Marsha’s reasoning.

“What I want to say is that I have suspicions about Osmond. That’s why I had someone steal a few of his test samples and sent them to the capital Bardot for testing. Once we have the test report, we’ll be able to completely understand just what relationship Amber has with the higher-ups of the Petroleum Chamber of Commerce…”

“Do you understand what I’m saying?”

Murik breathed in deeply after hearing what Marsha said. He would never have imagined Marsha to already prepare for this in secret.

“I see… No wonder you’re still so confident. But does Amber know what you’ve done?” Murik felt that as someone directing what was happening, Amber could not possibly be left out of the loop.

If she truly had no idea, there was no way Amber could completely control everything that was happening. Marsha already knew that Murik would be worried about that.

“Calm down. I didn’t say she isn’t aware. In fact, Amber knows exactly what I’m doing and has tried to stop me.”

Marsha quickly told him about the danger Brock faced in the capital Bardot.

“What? You failed?”

“Mhmm. Judging from the results, we failed… But there are always exceptions. No one could have foreseen me stealing more than just one sample. And Amber evidently thinks that she has already succeeded in destroying my plans, not knowing that I still have an additional one.”
