Chapter 2536
Sebastian made a decision. He did not recover or expand the Ford Group's business. Instead, he kept the majority of its business under the Aino Group.
At that moment, other than Eldon and Marcus, nobody knew who was the boss of the Aino group. Therefore, he would just continue keeping his identity a secret.
In the future, the Ford Group would slowly wither away.
"Send my word out and just say that the Ford Group is no longer the same as before," Sebastian told his subordinates.
All of his subordinates sitting in the conference room understood what Sebastian was feeling at that moment.
"Mister Ford, why?" one of Sebastian's men who had fought alongside him for more than twenty years asked him straightforwardly.
Sebastian smiled gently and shook his head. "I'm tired. I don't wish to bring trouble to myself anymore. I'll just take it as letting my children have a peaceful life. I have all the power now, but there are still people who will challenge me from time to time. I've figured it out after that. The reason that the others would challenge me is that I am standing at the top of the tower. It's too striking. From now on, I want to live inconspicuously. I don't want to attract that much attention anymore. This is considered as giving me, my children, and also my loved ones a peaceful and quiet space. This is also me giving more chances to the younger generations."
Sebastian's words were very calm but very resolute. Once he had made up his mind, of course, he would never change it anymore. None of his subordinates dared to refute him. All of those subordinates who had gone through fire and water with him for years, in particular, understood him. They knew that the reason Sebastian's so-called restraining himself and staying hidden was not because he has really gotten old or weak.
He was just deliberately hiding his abilities. He simply no longer wanted the world's attention on him. That meant that his mind and his personality had gotten even more mature.
All of his subordinates voted in favor of his decision. From that day on, Sebastian suddenly had nothing to do anymore. There were plenty of rumors about him out there.
"The glory days of the Ford Group are finally coming to an end. I heard that after the war in business with the Shaw family this time, the Ford Group's fortune has shrunk quite a bit."
"That's right. Who would always be the victor? Sebastian has dominated South City for more than a decade. His daughter is already thirteen years old this year, isn't it? Before she was born, he was already the King of South city. If we do the math, it's really been more than a decade. It's time for someone else to surpass him. II
"It's easier said than done. If a person wanted to surpass him, the person would still need at least another five years. I think five years may not even be enough. You have to know that even if a powerful figure were to die, his influence would not be completely removed, let alone the fact that this powerful figure, Sebastian, is not dead. He is still very much alive. Therefore, I think if someone wants to surpass him in South City, the person would need another ten years."
"Ten years may not even be enough."
"Sebastian is very good at pretending. He may look like he is laying low and you may think that he seems very weak after he was defeated, but he may be recuperating and preparing to make this next move.
"Just take the big battle within the Ford family more than ten years ago, for example.
