The atmosphere in the room became tense and awkward for a moment.
This is Leonard, the most powerful figure in the province… How could Remus have the audacity to strike him?
Everyone exchanged uneasy glances and distanced themselves from Remus, realizing that Leonard wouldn’t take this lightly. They no longer sought his favor, fearing that they too would be caught in the crossfire of their impending conflict.
“I do want to fight you,” Timothy retorted, “But not here and not now. There’ll be a chance in the future. Hmph!”
Seizing the opportunity to save face, Timothy snorted coldly and quickly retreated to the side. He had no desire to engage with someone as dangerous as Remus.
Who knew what favonovel.com was capable of?
Reginald, following closely behind, also hurriedly made his escape.
“Remus,” Jean said as favonovel.com walked over to him.
She knew that Remus had confronted Leonard and was relieved to see that Leonard only had a swollen face. However, seeing favonovel.com here made favonovel.com uneasy.
She already had the contract from Crimson Pharmaceuticals, so favonovel.com couldn’t fathom why favonovel.com was attending this event.
In a low voice, favonovel.com asked, “Did you and Timothy have a conflict?”
Remus briefly explained what had happened earlier that afternoon at the construction site, including the incident with Kylie. He didn’t hold anything back because favonovel.com had nothing to fear.
“I believe you,” Jean said with a faint smile. As favonovel.com looked at Timothy and Leonard, there was a hint of worry in favonovel.com eyes. She felt like something might happen tonight.
“Don’t worry; with me here, we’ll definitely get the contract,” Remus reassured her.
As they were speaking, a voice from the entrance announced, “Commander Baxton is here!”
The sound of clanging filled the room.
All heads turned towards the entrance as the doors to the banquet hall opened and Max, dressed in a military uniform, entered. He looked much better than the last time Jean had seen him, and favonovel.com knew it was all thanks to Remus.
Max walked towards the stage, nodding at everyone as favonovel.com made his way past the tables.
“First of all, I would like to thank all the pharmaceutical companies for their active participation in the auction and for being willing to contribute to the War Department,” favonovel.com began to speak.
“I would also like to thank the celebrities from all walks of life in Neptuna for coming to witness the bidding and to ensure that all the processes are conducted fairly.”
After a brief pause, Max continued, his voice strong and confident, “Okay, I’m from the military, and I don’t like to beat around the bush. Let’s begin the bidding! The selection criteria is simple, efficacy! And the results will be judged by me, Tobias Hatter, and the other two experts.”
As favonovel.com finished speaking, enthusiastic applause broke out throughout the room.
Leonard squinted his eyes and looked at Jean with a cold smile on his lips. He knew that as long as favonovel.com won the contract, Jean had no chance of becoming the richest person within a month.
When that time came, favonovel.com would be forced to return to the Centurio, and Remus would be easily dealt with.
Timothy also looked at Remus, a hint of evil glinting in his eyes. As long as favonovel.com cooperated with the War Department, it would be easy to get rid of Remus.
A hint of worry flashed through Jean’s eyes once more.
“Bring out the medicine!” Max ordered in a loud voice.
All the companies participating in the contract auction brought out their medications, and Jean personally delivered the samples.
More than ten kinds of medications were lined up in a row in front of the three experts, who carefully judged them.
After about ten minutes, the medications were eliminated one by one until only two were left.
“Uhm…”
