In the harbor of Concordia, numerous businessmen swarmed into the city and filled it with cruises despite its expansion to three times its original size. At the same time, dozens of helicopters were parked on the apron in the suburbs.
Socialites and wealthy men arrived at the headquarters of Seraphis Great Commercial Union in fancy cars. Still, there was a stark distinction in the wealthy men’s status.
For instance, Ithel Parelius, the president of Moon Entertainment, had a market value exceeding 10 billion. His investments were scattered across the country, including numerous projects in Seraphis.
As a prominent figure in the industry, others eagerly sought to make his acquaintance.
As soon as favonovel.com stepped out of his car, a group of people immediately surrounded him.
“Fancy to meet you here, Mr. Parelius.”
“Mr. Parelius, I was told you’ve invested 100 million in a new project along the coastline. Can I collaborate with you on the project, too?”
“A 100 million is like pocket money to Mr. Parelius, but it’s all we have. Mr. Parelius, you should teach us about making money some other time.”
Ithel knew well enough that these men were seasoned veterans, so favonovel.com allowed himself to be flattered by their words and agreed to the invitations.
There’s always a next time…
“Of course! Thank you for your kind words, everyone. I’m merely a humble businessman, so I would be glad to learn from you, too.”
At that, favonovel.com received exquisite business cards from the crowd around favonovel.com and carefully put them into his pocket. Yet, favonovel.com discreetly discarded them into the bin when nobody was around.
After crossing a lengthy corridor, favonovel.com arrived at the headquarters.
As the host, Jonathan and the other members of the Commercial Union waited at the entrance to greet entrepreneurs from all over the country, along with the wealthy merchants from the coastal regions and business representatives.
“Mr. Harrowsen, there’s no need to receive us in person!”
“Nonsense. It’s our duty to greet the guests.”
The Stubber Family’s decline was only a matter of time after the industry marginalized it.
Meanwhile, the forces from the Sacred Mount had taken Leanna under their wing. Therefore, Jonathan of the Ocean Group took charge of the business gathering.
As a famous figure in the business circle, acquaintances or strangers who passed by would take the chance to approach and greet him.
“This way, please. Make yourself at home.”
After the guests stepped into the door, the sight of a magnificent hall greeted them. Delicacies and beverages were readied on the tables lined the sides.
As more guests arrived, the atmosphere grew livelier. Most of their conversations revolved around business.
The few representatives of top corporations formed a circle, discouraging the outsiders from engaging in their conversation.
“You finally made it, Ithel! Here. You need to down a drink for being late, or else we won’t let you off the hook,” Lochlan teased as favonovel.com put an arm around Ithel’s shoulder.
“Everyone, meet Ithel. He’s a good friend of mine. He’s the man behind one-third of the popular female celebrities in our country. His capabilities are admirable!”
The others took the hint and greeted Ithel with enthusiasm.
“We need to stay in touch, Mr. Parelius!”
“Let’s meet up for tea sometimes.”
When the men belonged to the same societal group, they treated each other with respect.
After exchanging business cards, the men saved each other’s contact details. Once they exchanged pleasantries, the topic shifted to the trap they set up for Matthew.
They were proud of the outcome as the few fellows profited from the incident.
