This scene here.
Was an absolute classic!
Alban was a top-notch wealthy businessman who had a certain degree of influence in Mustiece Province and even most of the southeast region. Yet, here he was, being pointed at and scolded by Henry.
Henry even threatened Alban by saying that he would cause Seatreasures International’s share price to plummet.
This scene reminded the crowd of something.
It was like their neighbor’s child was pointing fingers at them and threatening to light their house on fire.
Everyone present felt their scalp grow numb.
Their gazes all instinctively shifted to Alban, wondering how this huge figure that dominated the southeast region was going to react.
Alban’s smile slowly vanished as well.
He had to be crazy if he could still smile at such a time. After all, this had nothing to do with how complex the man’s thoughts were.
“Mr. Law, there has been no history of resentment between us and the Law family. I was also polite to you, so why do you have to force my hand right from the start?” Alban suppressed his fury and asked.
Everyone else became even more confused when they heard Alban admit defeat so quickly.
They began to wonder who exactly Henry, and this Law family, was.
There was no powerful Law family in the Mainlands.
Therefore, why was Alban, such a powerful figure, terrified of a young man’s threats?
Henry sneered and said, “Stop acting in front of me. As if your dog would dare to bear its fangs at me without your instructions!”
Alban looked back and saw the pale-faced middle-aged manager. He asked in a deep tone, “What the hell happened?!”
Someone immediately stepped up and relayed the whole incident to Alban.
Alban was infuriated when he heard the story and he looked at the middle-aged manager who was trembling on the ground. His eyes were cold as he shouted, ‘Do you even know who Mr. Law is?!
“It’s our honor to invite someone like him, yet you dare to shoo such an important VIP away! Are you f*cking stupid or what?!”
The middle-aged man fell backward with a thud when he was shouted at. He now understood that he had gotten himself in deep trouble.
“Mr. Ball, forgive me, please. I didn’t know. All I knew is that Mr. Dudley doesn’t like Mr. Laine so I purposefully tried to pick on them. I was only doing it for our group and the Teo Chamber of Commerce’s sake, Mr. Ball. Please forgive me!”
“Yo, what a loyal dog you’ve got there.”
Henry sneered. “For the sake of your Teo Chamber of Commerce and the group, huh? Is that why you thought you could trample all over me?”
Alban’s expression was grim and he felt the urge to swallow this brainless middle-aged manager alive.
How could he say something like that in public?
As expected, the crowd all looked at Alban weirdly, as if he had just been made a fool of.
“Mr. Ball, since this has matter has already been clarified, then I believe it’s best Henry and I leave. It’s only natural we do so.”
Jasper suddenly said calmly.
“Since this forum is of such high standards, then it’s best if neither of us joins in case someone interrogates us for being questionable people again.”
Jasper’s words caused Alban’s expression to turn even darker.
He forced a laugh and said, “Gentlemen, this is indeed a huge misunderstanding. It’s completely my fault, so please forgive me.
“You two are extremely important guests in this forum conference, after all. The forum will be considered a failure if you two leave.”
Alban then turned to look at the middle-aged manager and snapped coldly, “You useless b*stard! Get lost! I never want to see you in front of me again! Leave!”
The middle-aged man quickly scrambled off while Alban turned back to look at Jasper and Henry. “Please follow me inside, gentlemen. I promise I’ll make this up to you in the future, is that alright?”
Henry lifted the corner of his lips insincerely and turned to look at Jasper.
He made his stance clear.
It meant that Jasper would decide whether Young Master Law stayed or left.
“Since this is just a misunderstanding, then it’s only right we be respectful to you too, Mr. Ball.”
Just as Alban thought that Jasper was going to exploit the issue and make things more difficult for him, Jasper caught him off guard by suddenly extending him a warm smile.
Alban narrowed his eyes as he gave Jasper a good look over. While Alban remained smiling, he internally raised the perceived danger level of this youth that was two years younger than his son by a few good notches.
They were all formidable members of society, and they understood that some things could only be resolved through formal means.
These small misunderstandings and mistakes, regardless of who committed them, did not influence the big picture too much. These were nothing more than appetizers before the main dish.
If Jasper thought that he had won from this alone and became prideful over the matter, then Alban would continue to see Jasper as an easy target.
However, Jasper’s current reaction caused Alban to sigh internally. That old crafty man, Gale, had truly sent him a difficult opponent this time.
“That’s wonderful, then. Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Laine, Mr. Law. Let’s go inside, they’ve been waiting for a long time already,” Alban beckoned them with a crescent-eyed smile.
They had just entered the main hall of the forum when Alban excused himself.
He walked into the room inside with a dark expression on his face. Dudley was already waiting for him inside.
“How was it, Dad? Jasper and that Henry’s faces must’ve looked so sour, right?” Dudley rushed over to say pridefully when he saw Alban walk in.
Alban asked Dudley grimly, “You instructed that imbecile?”
Dudley replied pridefully, “I didn’t actually tell him anything, I just gave him a hint. Hmph, take it as a show of our power to Jasper and Henry. Let them know who’s territory they’re in.
“What a shame that I didn’t get to see how pitiful they looked. It must’ve been exciting, haha!”
Alban’s expression darkened with every word he said. Dudley was about to ask what was wrong when Alban suddenly raised his hand as if to slap him.
Dudley was shocked and he raised his hand to defend himself instinctively. He shouted, “What’re you hitting me for, Dad?!”
Even so, Alban’s suspended hand did not connect with Dudley’s cheek. The man simply replied harshly, “Keep these lowly tricks of yours to yourself. You’ll only make a fool our of yourself!’
Dudley was stunned. “It failed? No way!”
“Do you even know who Mr. Law is? His status or identity? How dare you use your tricks on him!” Alban reprimanded disappointedly.
Dudley said indignantly, “I checked. It’s nothing special, he’s just the young master of the Law family. So what? I’m also the young master of the Ball family!”
“Young master my foot!”
Alban scolded, “You must be out of your mind. You think the bit of money our family made these years can compete with what the Law family has?
“We’re not even on equal footing!
“I’m warning you. Picking on Jasper is one thing, but you do not attack Henry! Otherwise, the both of us are screwed!”
