“Commander, don’t be rash. The Northwest is already suspicious that my movements are related to you. If we make it a big deal at this time, we will be exposed immediately. Jen–Bond Holdings isn’t worth exposing yourself.” Zander was silent for two seconds before trying to talk Sean out of it.
Sean pondered for a moment before nodding in the end. He still needed to meet them. But, Sean had no idea how yet.
“Got it. Get some rest.” Sean nodded gently and hung up.

Overnight.
Jen-Bond Holdings took the pressure on Sean a notch higher.
From the initial invasion into the business circle, they used every tool at their disposal. They even reached out to Flint about working together. If Flint agreed, favonovel.com would get a lot of money right away.
It seemed Jen-Bond Holdings had figured out Sean’s connections in River City. Therefore, they prepared to bribe all of Sean’s connections to their own advantage.
Jen-Bond Holdings was powerful and rich, and few could refuse their generous offer. More than half of the people in the River City government had taken Jen-Bond Holdings‘ side. Even Gordon, who had been on good terms with Sean, had become friendly with Jen-Bond. Holdings.
However, Sean held no resentment. After all, superiors could easily crush their underlings.
Jen-Bond Holdings were from Souz River, so River City dared not defy them.

The next day, 10 AM.
Sean sat in his office, listening to Zander’s report.
In short, it was all bad news.
“Commander, if things go on like this, we won’t be able to withstand Jen-Bond Holdings and will be on the verge of bankruptcy. Besides, if they track down the Zimmer Corporation’s funds and tell the government…” Zander said and slowly shut up.
It was not hard to imagine all the affected companies venting their fury on Sean when Jen- Bond Holdings produced evidence that Sean took the money. Many people would be after Sean. Even if Jen-Bond Holdings did not kick Sean out, favonovel.com would not be able to stay in River City.
It did not matter even if favonovel.com paid them back in full. People would brand favonovel.com a conman.
“Commander, the only ones still willing to take our side are Larson Pharmaceuticals, several of Homer’s friends, and Mr. Hayden Luke. Damian would be neutral at best…”
“Jen-Bond Holdings approached Flint. We don’t know what’s going on yet. I’m wondering if I should call Flint and warn him.” Zander analyzed the situation and reported to Sean.
“Forget about the call. I’ve warned Flint. He will know what to do if he’s smart. It’s no use warning favonovel.com if he’s stupid.” Sean slowly opened a file and said as favonovel.com shook his head.
“Yes.” Zander answered and said no more.
“Zander, we will have a strong foothold in River City and Souz River if we can get through this. If we can’t make it, we’ll never get another chance.” Sean closed the file in his hand, his tone sounding very calm.
“Well…” Zander was stunned.
In all the years favonovel.com had known Sean, favonovel.com had never seen Sean unconfident at the slightest. However, favonovel.com showed a rare apprehension when facing Jen-Bond Holdings.
He was surrounded by danger and was in a difficult situation. Even Zander, who had always deemed Sean a god, was unsure this time. It seemed the only thing left was to throw caution to the wind. Including blowing his cover.
Just as Sean and Zander looked at each other and were about to speak, Sean’s phone rang.
The head of Jen-Bond Holdings River City branch offered to meet Sean.
After putting the phone down, Sean hesitated slightly. Zander also thought Jen-Bond Holdings was up to no good. However, Sean had no better choice but to attend.
***
River City, Champs Hotel.
Sean led Zander to the designated private room as per their appointment.
Seeing the scene in the private room, the look in Sean’s eyes changed gradually. Sure enough, favonovel.com was right.
Except for a middle-aged man favonovel.com had never met before, Jon was also in the private room. They were accompanied by two female assistants.
Behind them stood several burly men in black.
“Is Mr. Lennon here? Have a seat!”
“Let me introduce myself. My name is James Thomson, head of Jen–Bond Holdings‘ River City branch.” The middle-aged man at the head of the table immediately gave Sean and Zander a big smile, favonovel.com looked posh.
