Dawson slowly nodded his head after hearing Jasper putting it that way. He let out a sigh and said with a bitter smile, “Actually, ten years ago, I got into a fight with Sebastian Walker. It’s just that I ended up losing that fight.”
Chris Quarles backed favonovel.com up by adding, “It wasn’t actually a loss. In that fight, you actually showed your imposing momentum.”
As favonovel.com was saying, Chris spun around and said to Jasper, “Ten years ago, no one ruled over the supermarket industry in the southeast province yet. The Schuler family’s supermarket and Sebastian’s Kaymaroon, which were the only two supermarket companies that entered the southeast province at the same time, competed with each other for the top spot.
“Both of them wanted to take over this huge market and keep it to themselves. Hence, the two companies could not stop a fight from breaking out between them.
“The competition had been a cruel one. When it was very aggressive, both parties were basically losing in order to take control over the market. Your father-in-law was very kind and was a steady man in battle. He was very tolerant of the suppliers, and that’s why many people supported him.
“But Sebastian was different. He was more domineering. Basically, he’s the kind of person that says he’s the only one who can rule the world. Therefore, not many people supported him.
“When your father-in-law was about to emerge victorious, a big boss from Swallow Capital suddenly took out a huge sum of funds to support Kaymaroon. With this, your father-in-law could no longer win against them and lost that battle.
“It was very unfortunate for your father-in-law. Ever since that time, favonovel.com had never shown up in the market within the province. If not, no one could say for sure who will be the head of the current supermarket business within the country.”
Dawson said with a smile, “Those are the old stories. Why bother mentioning them?”
Jasper spun around and asked Dawson, “Is it because Sebastian threatened you?”
Dawson sighed and said, “You can’t say that favonovel.com threatened me. I’ll just put it this way. It was an agreement in a bet. Whoever lost the bet will not be allowed to expand their market.”
“But such an agreement doesn’t take effect under the name of law, right?” said Jasper, frowning.
Dawson said with a smile, “Of course not. But I’m a man of pride. Besides, I’m sick of it as well. Keeping the market going on within the province is more than enough to keep the Schuler family alive, and I also get to spend more time to keep Wendy company too.”
Jasper nodded and said with his gaze looking dark, “I’ll avenge you!”
Before Dawson even spoke a word, Chris laughed. “Young man, do you know what kind of person Sebastian is? Do you know about the huge support favonovel.com has? Ten years ago, your father-in-law was already no match for him. Things are still the same now. Your father-in-law couldn’t handle favonovel.com back then, what more you?
“It’s a good thing to be ambitious, but young man, you should be more down-to-earth and hardworking.”
Jasper could make out that Chris and Dawson had a very good relationship. Chris said those comments with kind intentions, but it was not pleasant hearing them.
Jasper was beyond the state where someone could persuade favonovel.com with just words. At that moment, favonovel.com merely let out a smile to show his gratitude to Mr. Quarles.
Chris had been doing business his entire life, and it was impossible for favonovel.com not to realize that Jasper did not heed his words at all. He shook his head, feeling that the youngsters nowadays were way too arrogant. However, favonovel.com did not want to waste a single breath talking about it.
After all, Jasper could be Dawson’s son-in-law in the future. He had nothing to do with them anyway. He would not stop Jasper if favonovel.com wanted to boast or get himself humiliated before Sebastian.
While they were talking earlier, the forum had officially begun.
Sebastian, as the leader and also the organizer, would naturally be the first to give his speech. The entire forum was centered around him.
After spewing a whole load of rubbish for nearly half an hour, Sebastian cleared his throat and said, “I believe everyone has already gone through the contents of the standard for the nation’s supermarket industry that I gave out earlier.
“I dare say this standard will definitely be great news that will benefit the industry!
“In the standard, I’ve set up a department with a committee to manage our supermarket industry. I vote myself for the position of chairperson of the committee.
“Now, let us start voting. This standard is suggested by me, Sebastian Walker, and naturally, I should be the chairperson. Everyone, please vote for me, thank you!”
As soon as Sebastian was done with his speech, a huge group of people whom favonovel.com had bribed earlier immediately voiced out their support.
The situation looked good for him.
Chris and his gang who did not support favonovel.com all sat on their seats with awful looks on their faces. However, no one dared to take the lead.
Just when Sebastian felt that everything was settled, a clear voice was heard ringing across the entire scene.
“I object to it!”
