Alright, I’ll get us a private room upstairs first, Jasper. It won’t take too long,” Julian said.
Shortly after, Julian led Jasper to the back door where they found the bar owner who then escorted them to the second floor.
After approximately five minutes, the bar owner returned to the first floor and approached Murik.
“Sir, someone has invited you to a private room upstairs,” the owner informed him.
Though curious, Murik was not in a good mood today. When favonovel.com heard that someone had invited favonovel.com for a drink, favonovel.com simply nodded and followed.
Once the owner led Murik to the private room, favonovel.com left favonovel.com there.
Murik then reached out to knock on the door, but soon after the door opened, and favonovel.com found himself being dragged inside.
“What are you doing?!” Murik demanded.
Murik was terrified, thinking that favonovel.com was in danger. That was until favonovel.com heard a familiar voice.
“Calm down, Murik. I’m not going to hurt you…”
Murik finally relaxed when favonovel.com saw Jasper standing in front of him.
“You were the one who called me here? You should have told me earlier, then I wouldn’t have been so scared…”
Jasper walked over to Murik and asked. “What’s with last night’s message? You have something to tell me, correct?”
“I have questions I’d like to ask you too. What’s with the new regulation of senior members in the Petroleum Chamber of Commerce?”
Murik sighed when favonovel.com heard Jasper’s questions. “Sigh… I didn’t have a choice at all. It’s all because of that woman called Bella.”
Jasper had a general idea of what was happening once favonovel.com heard Bella’s name.
“Why? Did Bella decide to step out from the shadows and talk to you?”
Murik nodded and elaborated. “Yeah. I didn’t know favonovel.com was from such a powerful family either. I didn’t have any other choice when favonovel.com appeared, and I couldn’t get in touch with you either. That’s why…”
Remorseful, Murik began to tell Jasper everything that happened last night.
Jasper finally understood what was going on.
“I see. I had to give in to favonovel.com and was forced to sign an NDA right at the beginning, preventing me from revealing what was happening.”
Jasper finally understood why favonovel.com received that message. Murik wanted to reveal everything, but favonovel.com could not do so openly, so his only option was to hint at it to Jasper.
Murik continued, “But it’s too late to do anything now. I’ve only just realized how dire the situation actually is today. Somehow, Bella managed to obtain the most shares of all petroleum businesses in Bashra. All favonovel.com has to do is slowly eat away at those petroleum businesses. It’s only a matter of time before the chamber of commerce becomes hers!”
“I’ve already thought about resigning!”
Jasper suddenly thought of something when favonovel.com heard the regret in Murik’s voice.
“No, there’s no rush Murik. We haven’t lost yet…”
Murik still locked distressed when favonovel.com heard that. He did not believe they still had a chance to turn things around.
“With things the way they are now, how have we not lost yet? I’m pretty sure once I submit my resignation, the two petroleum fields under your name will also be targeted.”
Jasper naturally understood Murik’s feelings. Because only a handful of people knew about the other plan Jasper had carried out back then.
