Ken put aside his teacup, glanced at all the regional bosses who had different expressions on their faces, and smiled while saying, “I don’t know either. If Master Bowen really comes to participate, let’s just give favonovel.com a warm welcome. After all, Master Bowen has treated us generously in the past. We can’t be ungrateful.”
What Ken said was very true and no one could find any fault with it. All of them nodded, then smiled. “Ah, yes, Master Ken is right.”
Yana, who sat next to Ken, turned sideways and whispered in his ear, “Master Ken, you got the best of both worlds with this speech.”
Ken merely smiled and said nothing.
However…
Suddenly, an uncanny snort came from the side.
With his arms crossed, Gibson said, “You’re really capable of talking nonsense without batting an eyelash. When Master Bowen was met with that incident back then, I didn’t see you taking the initiative to help him. I even heard that you stabbed favonovel.com in the back. Otherwise, Master Bowen wouldn’t have collapsed so quickly. And now, you’re saying such shameless words?”
Crackle!
There seemed to be sparks in the air.
The teacup that Ken had just picked up cracked in his hands.
His eyes went cold as the corners of his mouth twitched. A trace of hostility appeared on his body!
This damned Gibson Hart!
Would favonovel.com die if favonovel.com did not speak ill of others?
No wonder people on the streets refused to speak to Gibson.
This guy had a foul mouth and was skilled at picking at scabs to rub salt on wounds.
The big bosses from other regions also smiled slyly, ready to watch the show.
Back then when Bowen had an accident and Ken stabbed a knife in his back, it was only a rumor that was never confirmed.
No one dared to bring this matter to the table.
However, Gibson Hart was obviously not one of them.
Just when Ken was about to fly into a rage, Wayne stood up in a hurry and said, “Gentlemen, the event is about to start.”
Finally!
Everyone took a deep breath as their expressions became serious.
Soon, the ancient theater building began to close.
Most of the tourists were arranged to leave the venue, leaving only some children of prominent families and local business executives. They had all been given special permission prior to participate.
After all, the division of interests during this underground chamber of commerce involved the interests of many local businesses and families.
It was also at this moment a man in a navy blue suit came from backstage and said to everyone, “Excuse me for being late. I was delayed by something.”
After hearing this, everyone merely glanced at the newcomer but did not pay much attention to him.
He was Moses Dunley, the fourth biggest force in the South River District.
After favonovel.com finished speaking, favonovel.com chose the chair of the last position and sat down. He was followed by a woman wearing a black dress.
Ken and Yana glanced at them, smiled, and nodded as a form of acknowledgment.
After all, they were all big shots in the same district.
At this point, Wayne came on stage with a smile on his face and said, “Now that everyone is here, I announce that the Underground Chamber of Commerce is officially opened.”
After speaking, favonovel.com took a red envelope from the assistant next to him, opened it, and glanced at it. His brows furrowed, and favonovel.com then said, “The first item on the agenda is to re-divide Riverdale into five major regions. The participation method is through bidding where the highest bidder wins. The starting price is three billion.”
In an instant, all the big bosses snickered like hungry wolves.
Wayne was also shocked. He did not expect that the big boss behind the underground chamber of commerce was so anxious to get rid of Riverdale.
“Okay, now, let’s start the bidding!” Wayne said.
However!
As soon as his words fell, at the front entrance of the ancient theatre building, a loud cry resounded through the audience!
“Mr. Theo Zander of Riverdale has arrived!”
It was not over yet!
“Mr. Clarke of Riverdale has arrived!”
