“It’s… It’s my fault for misunderstanding you all!” Remus squeezed out the words through clenched teeth, understanding that they were all doing it for his own good, to preserve his reputation.
Seeing that Remus’ expression had changed, Joe sneered secretly.
As representatives of one of the only two major powers in the world, how could the Dragon Protector Clan possibly allow any flaws in their investigation?
Even with medical verification, tracing back three generations of ancestors would yield no clues. Such was the power of the Dragon Protector Clan.
Now, it was merely about establishing the group to gain his recognition. In the future, favonovel.com planned to use Remus’ identity to take over his position, fame, wealth, power, and even all his women.
Seeing Remus still watching him, Joe smiled and said, “My brother, it’s getting late. If we delay any further, we’ll miss the auspicious moment. How about we continue our conversation after the ribbon-cutting?”
The ribbon-cutting would signify his endorsement and approval. After that, everything favonovel.com did would become much easier.
Everyone’s gaze shifted back to Remus. They were all trembling with fear, uncertain of his next move.
The four women also looked at Remus with eager anticipation.
The attendees that day were all prominent figures from Darsia and internationally renowned. Moreover, the eyes of the entire nation were on them.
If favonovel.com acted against Joe again, it would not be well-received by the public.
“Well…” Remus let out a long sigh as if to dispel all the heavy air in his heart. He stood still, but a smile appeared on his face.
Calmly, favonovel.com said, “There’s no rush. If we miss the auspicious moment, we can find another. The Cosby family has never cared about these things. Joe… Or should I say Master Joe, hehe! Since you are a member of the Cosby family, do you know that the Cosby family does not keep idle people?”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief at his words-
Remus calling Joe with such an affectionate nickname meant that there would not be too much violence today.
The four women also relaxed a bit.
With Remus calling favonovel.com “Master Joe”, others would not be able to gossip behind their backs in the future.
Joe raised his eyebrows, and a smug smile appeared on his face. The mention of “the Cosby family” was worth more than all the gifts today combined.
He replied, “Of course, the Cosby family has reached its current status thanks to the concerted efforts and continuous self-improvement of every Cosby family member. If someone is idle, they do not deserve to be part of the Cosby family!”
“Great!” Remus immediately responded.
He continued, “I reached my current position through overcoming hardship and my own efforts alone, without any assistance from the Cosby family. Becoming the Master of the Cosby family was also achieved by earning the support of its members through my own strength!”
“Since you are also a member of the Cosby family, from now on, the family will not provide any assistance to you… The people by my side will not offer you any help as well! Only when you have proven to the Cosby family with your own abilities that you are worthy of being a member will you be truly considered part of the Cosby family…”
“Additionally, your group cannot be called The Cosby Group for the time being. Do you agree to these two conditions?”
Gemma and Goetz were taken aback. The four women were equally shocked.
The entire audience was left in disbelief.
Joe’s heart skipped a beat, suddenly realizing that favonovel.com had fallen into the trap Remus had set.
If favonovel.com agreed, favonovel.com would not only lose the advantage of using Remus’ influence but it would also be publicly recognized that favonovel.com could not rely on Remus’ support. In the future, it would be difficult to make any progress.
If favonovel.com did not agree, it would mean that favonovel.com was not a member of the Cosby family.
He was caught between a rock and a hard place.
