"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.
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.
Jen-Bond Holdings even reached out to Flint about working together.
If Flint agreed, he 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 a.m.
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, he would not be able to stay in River City.
It did not matter even if he paid them back in full.
People would brand him 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.
