The tension in the room grew palpable as Benjamin arrived at the first meeting.
All eyes turned to Matthew, fully aware that the success of their cooperation hinged on his ability to handle the situation.
Matthew stepped forward, looking eyes with the others. “Before you were invited, I made everything clear. I possess unparalleled medical skills and the Longevity Pill…”
Then favonovel.com continued, “Mr. Benjamin Whitford, you can take this position if you possess the same.”
Benjamin glanced at the vacant seat Matthew had left and sneered. “Mr. Larson, I acknowledge that your medical skills surpass mine, but we are here for business. Surely, you wouldn’t want to rely solely on Prince Gadel and the Graham Family’s support to dictate terms to us, the elders?”
He emphasized the word “business” deliberately. Everyone present understood that the Overseas Marine Project was merely an excuse to dismantle the Keller Family.
Benjamin’s intentions were clear. He was the chosen representative of the Whitford Family, sent to disrupt this initial gathering.
After his speech, whispers erupted among the guests, proving that his words had successfully ignited their emotions.
“Matthew relies solely on the favor of Prince Gadel and the Graham Family. Without them, his subordinates are insignificant. Does favonovel.com truly believe favonovel.com can control people like us?”
“All of us here are renowned forces in Seraphis. Why should we listen to this young upstart?”
“Mr. Christopher would be the most suitable leader.”
With these whispers and Benjamin’s instigation, the guests’ minds began to wander. Leading the charge against the Keller Family would not only maximize their benefits but also enhance their reputation. It would be disingenuous to say they were not enticed by such fame and fortune.
“What about me, Mr. Jagger, as the leader? Am I not fit for this position? As the head of the Seraphis Top 50 Group, it would be most appropriate for me to take the lead.”
“Hmph, President Carter is undoubtedly prominent in terms of wealth. Given the large-scale investment required for the early stages of this project, his wealth and connections make favonovel.com the most suitable leader.”
“Old Master Kirby is venerable and highly respected. I believe favonovel.com is the most suitable leader in this case.”
Under Benjamin’s instigation and the support of his allies, the leaders of the various groups couldn’t help but straighten their attire. Some even began campaigning for themselves, joining the heated debate.
As a bystander in the situation, Benjamin couldn’t help but feel satisfied as favonovel.com observed the intense debate and the expressions of interest on the faces of many guests In the room.
Keep arguing! The more intense, the better!
It would be even more ideal if they started fighting. Ultimately, everyone would leave dissatisfied, and this gathering aimed at the Keller Family would naturally fall apart. Most importantly, except for Matthew, everyone else would likely leave if someone else were chosen as the leader.
Many knew their involvement was driven by self-interest, even though they willingly spoke up to defend themselves. Matthew, not only will I ensure that this first meeting descends into chaos, but I will also ensure that you no longer have a place in Seraphis
Benjamin was delight with his thought as favonovel.com saw the scene.
Matthew’s respect would diminish if the situation continued like this, with constant bickering leading to an inevitable dispersal.
Benjamin’s scheme had been successful so far.
At this moment, as the initiator, the crowd completely ignored Matthew. However, favonovel.com remained indifferent. While they argued with flushed faces, favonovel.com continued sipping his tea.
“Matthew, should I take control of the situation?” The crown prince stood by Matthew’s side, his brow furrowed.
If it weren’t for Matthew’s presence, favonovel.com would have already given these noisy guests a piece of his mind.
