The Man's Decree novel Chapter 244

Chapter 244 Honorable

“Thank you, Mrs. Lowe!” William smiled faintly before sitting down on a couch along with Jared.

While waiting for Glen, the latter took the opportunity to scan the room he was in. The furniture in this house is old and worthless. This doesn’t seem like a house fit for a mayor at all! Besides, Helen’s so friendly and humble, although she’s the mayor’s wife. I don’t understand how Frederick ended up being so different from his mother.

Not long after that, the door to the study was opened, and four men walked out.

One of them was Glen. He was in his forties and looked like a total gentleman with glasses on. Although he was dressed in simple clothing, he exuded an authoritative aura.

The three other men must be the businessmen Helen mentioned. One of them was a skinny guy with a goatee. Apart from his glinting eyes, Jared felt a wave of spiritual energy emitting from his body.

“Is he an energy cultivator as well?” Jared mumbled under his breath and could not help sparing him a few more looks.

“I hope you’d reconsider our offer, Mr. Lowe. Our investment would definitely bring more opportunities to Horington and help in the city’s economic development. As long as you’re willing to give us the southern region, we can transform it into another city within three years,” the businessman with a goatee declared.

“I’m sorry, but I can’t make my decision solely based on financial gains and have my descendants denounce me. Besides, I must look after the welfare of the citizens. Money isn’t the only thing I need to safeguard my position. The support of the people is also essential. I don’t think we need to discuss this further. Show yourselves out,” Glen said with a frosty expression on his face.

It was apparent that his meeting with the businessmen had ended on a sour note.

“Well, if you’re so adamant about it, Mr. Lowe, I guess we have nothing else to talk about. Goodbye!” With that, the businessman with a goatee reached out for a handshake.
