After the words left Matthew’s mouth, all eyes turned to Ithel.
As Matthew stated, the funds were crucial.
After the outbreak of the Night Vine incident, many influential figures focused on Matthew, especially those from Montiria were waiting for the opportunity to strike. Once they set up the funding under Matthew’s name, more people would focus on Matthew.
They didn’t care if the other influence tried to win Matthew over or threaten favonovel.com as long as Matthew was the one who took the brunt. What mattered to them was to continue to invest safely.
Indeed, the plan was to redirect the spotlight onto Matthew while they sat back and enjoyed manipulating the situation from behind the scenes.
The guests were aware of the unspoken goal of the meeting.
Ithel’s ever-changing expression was the evidence of his inner struggles.
After some pondering, favonovel.com eventually agreed, “We will agree to your proposal on one condition, which is to establish the funding in the form of a bank or any other financial entity.”
Matthew had no objection to it and readily consented. “Now that everything has been discussed, let’s conclude the meeting.”
Just as everyone was preparing to depart, Lochlan approached favonovel.com and inquired, “Mr. Larson, when do you plan to establish the funding?”
“I’ll get to it once your funding is secured.” Matthew rose to his feet and smoothed out his shirt. “I’m in no rush, so you can take your time too.”
However, the urgency was palpable.
Chaos was beginning to surface in the Montiria market. Foreign companies found it challenging to access the local market without spending a great fortune. Moreover, international agents had their eyes on the surrounding markets.
The attendees no doubt demanded a fast solution. After all, the market in Cathay was already profitable, and they didn’t plan on expanding the market. A stable market was their priority.
“We will make it as soon as possible!”
After that, Lochlan, Ithel, and their group departed in a hurry. Others dispersed as well.
“Wait, Mr. Harrowsen. Let’s have a meal together.” After calling out to Jonathan, Matthew and Shawn ushered favonovel.com to the dining area of the building.
“Truth be told, Mr. Matthew. I don’t think you should help them. The other people only view you as their shield, so you are the one who suffers the most damage when something happens.”
However, Matthew disagreed with his statement. “It’s not like that. We are mutually benefiting. You see. I possess a 51% controlling stake in the funding and have the final say in all matters. After all, the city lacks the funds to implement projects.”
Zedbar’s threat successfully scared the others into postponing their projects, which resulted in stagnation in the development process of the city.
With the newly allocated funds, the city would soon experience rapid development once more.
“Besides, the consortiums hate my guts for sabotaging the expansion of the Night Vine market. Therefore, it makes no difference whether or not I agree with the establishment. It simply makes our conflict known by more people.”
At this point, Jonathan no longer tried to persuade him. Since they were viewing things from different perspectives, their approaches were also different.
“Moreover, I don’t intend to bring Leanna into the picture until I rectify the order in Skargness. Therefore, I require your assistance in managing the funding. I’ll reach out to you to discuss the specifics later.”
Jonathan wouldn’t say no to such a request. After all, they were allies.
Dustin had issued clear instructions for the Seraphis branch of Ocean Group to fully support Matthew.
