Supreme Mars novel Chapter 76

"Hello, sir!"

Forrest enthusiastically shook Leo’s hand.

Seeing this, Thomas, who was about seventy miles away, was scared out of his wits. His knees wobbled and he fell to the ground.

Forrest, the general manager of the Kingston Chamber of Commerce, whose sprawling business empire covered the Sallton, Winham, and New Queensland regions, was behaving like he had just met his childhood here?! Who on earth was this young man?

Suspecting that his vision was blurry due to fatigue, he rubbed his eyes and pinched himself hard, just to make sure this is real, before looking again.

Thomas felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He desperately tried to get a clear view of the young man's face.

However, the busy airport was full of travelers and on top of that, Forrest had his back to him, blocking his view of the other person. Soon, Forrest and Leo disappeared into the sea of people.

"Hello Forrest." Leo acknowledged the polite greeting from him.

"It is a pleasure to finally meet you."

Forrest straightened his back as he carefully observed the owner and CEO whom he had never met before.

His first impression was that he was very young.

Too young, in fact.

However, his eyes had a brilliance likened to a full moon on a starless night, incredibly deep and intense, impossible to interpret his emotions or thoughts.

When they got into the car, Forrest finally revealed the purpose of his visit to Emerdale.

"Mr. Cohen, I was sent by Mr. Maestro to assist you. If you need anything from me in the future, please feel free to let me know. Here is my business card with my contact information on it."

Forrest handed over his business card.

Leo gave it a glance then put it away. With a faint smile, he nodded. "Thanks Forrest. I'll remember that."

Forrest felt flattered. For a man that even the business greats respected, if Leo were to remember him and engage his assistance, his future would incredibly promising.

Leo smiled and continued, "Well, I do have two things to trouble you with."

Upon hearing this, Forrest was overjoyed. "Sure, please go ahead to let me know what they are."

Even if offered at an extraordinary high price, Forrest wasn't the kind of person who would be of service to just anyone. But Leo was a powerful and influential business man. If only he could be his right-hand man. He was eager to assist him every day, so as to elevate his status in the business circles here.

Leo told Forrest about the issue on the sponsorship. When he was done, Forrest was surprised. "Is that all?"

Leo smiled and nodded. Forrest laughed and said, "That's not a problem at all. Leave it to me."

"What about the second matter?"

Leo pondered for a moment before asking, "I wonder if the Kingston Chamber of Commerce still has any membership spots allocated? A friend of mine would like to join the chamber."

Forrest was silent for a long while before he said, "Mr. Cohen, to tell you the truth, the chamber sets very high requirements on who is eligible to be a member. It depends not only on the personal wealth, but also the network and connections this person has. Only those who have a comprehensive score of S or above are qualified. How influential is your friend in Emerdale?"

Leo thought for a moment then gave an impartial answer, "Quite good, I imagine. Alan Russell holds him in high regard, anyway."

Although Justin Cox worked for him, he couldn't openly facilitate personal favors for them. Putting in a few good words for him was fine.

"Then it shouldn’t be a problem. Where is your friend? I can go and see him."

Leo informed Justin, then he and Forrest headed to the highest floor of the International Commerce Center.

Justin was already waiting when Leo and Forrest arrived. Justin immediately greeted them with a smile. "Mr. Cohen, this is..."

"I'm Forrest Barker."

Because Justin works for Leo, Forrest was extremely polite to him.

Justin furrowed his brows. Forrest Barker, why did that name sound so familiar?

Suddenly, he became extremely excited, so much so that he almost started to stutter.

"You... you are..."

"The general manager of the Kingston Chamber of Commerce?!" He said as he recalled why Forrest's name sounded familiar.

Forrest smiled and nodded at him. It was common for him to encounter people who get just as excited when they first meet.
