After some time, the door to the dimly lit conference room opened.
A man with a tall frame walked over and placed his palm on Conrad’s shoulder. Conrad had stayed in the same position in the conference room for more than ten hours now.
“Dad! It’s you…”
Conrad called out with trembling lips.
“It’s time to go home.”
In the dark, the man’s voice was heard.
“You’re still young. There’s no harm in suffering some setbacks. The finest diamond must be cut.”
“I refuse to accept this.” Conrad clenched his fists.
“It’s right to feel that way. If you refuse to accept this result, then find a chance to strike back.”

News about what had happened in Skyward Aluminum’s shareholders meeting spread like wildfire.
Southeast Province was in turmoil.
No one had expected Jasper to gain victory with such incredible ease in the shareholders meeting.
Meanwhile, Conrad, whom the people of Southeast Province held in such high regard, had fallen from his throne after this incident.
As it turned out, a genius that only appeared once every half a century was nothing but a load of bullcrap. The glory he basked in back then was also how bad of a fall he had taken this time. Those who jeered at him grew in numbers as well.
The turmoil in the outside world did not stop Jasper from carrying out his original plan.
After the shareholders meeting, the first thing Jasper did was transfer all the shares to Gale.
