The others shared Philip’s thoughts. Everyone was wary and wondered what Alton was up to.
“To be honest, I want to discuss a collaboration with you!” Alton cut to the chase, wanting to discuss a business deal with Philip.
Philip knew Alton’s objective and would never give favonovel.com a satisfactory answer.
“Mayor, if you want a share of this store or reach an agreement to purchase pills from us, the discussion won’t be necessary. We want to run a neutral store.” Philip made his stance clear.
If favonovel.com were facing the mayor of Orbit City, Philip would have a nice chat with him. However, Philip did not have a good impression of Alton and lost all desire to talk to him.
Hearing this, Alton scowled at Philip’s outright refusal. He was trying to find a way to persuade Philip to agree to the deal and even thought of an offer that Philip could not refuse. However, Philip simply rejected favonovel.com before even having a discussion!
Alton had never suffered such treatment before, so his reaction could be imagined.
Granite watched this scene from the side and silently applauded Philip’s actions.
Although they knew each other before this, Granite felt Alton had been a bit unfamiliar recently for some reason.
There was always a risk to working with someone with authority. It was best to have less contact with such high and mighty people.
“Can we talk about this? I think there’s still room for discussion. Maybe you can listen to my offer before you decide.” Alton tried to attract Philip’s attention and talk terms with him. He was even ready to make some concessions.
However, Philip flatly rejected Alton.
“It’s okay, I won ‘t reach a deal with anyone. I’ll only provide unlimited goods to people under my command. Others can only buy things from the store. Of course, as the mayor, I’ll give you a discount,” Philip said with a smile, uncaring about his business.
He simply wanted to open a store to gain a foothold. Gaining a bit of reputation was much better than fighting alone.
Alton was at a loss for how to respond to Philip’s rejection. For some reason, favonovel.com felt that Philip was not lackng anything, so his offer might not attract Philip.
Alton returned to his residence after exchanging some pleasantries with Philip. He did not gain anything or reach a deal this time.
Everything was very different from what favonovel.com imagined. He thought that Philip would reject him, but not so decisively that favonovel.com did not even get the chance to speak.
Seeing his master’s somber look, Oz could only remain silent.
