By the time such targeting words were said, the person saying them had arrived in front of Dawson as well.
Dressed in a black suit from a sophisticated brand, his hair was slicked back without one strand amiss. One glance was all it took to tell that he was a very successful middle-aged man.
He had very prominent features, the most impressionable ones being the sharp and defined brows which added a tint of fierceness and frost.
Jasper did not need Dawson to introduce him.
This was Sebastian Walker, the owner of Kaymaroon.
Both TR-Mart and Somer Resources, renowned supermarkets in the future, had yet to make a big name for themselves in the year 2000. The largest supermarket during this time was Kaymaroon.
At the topic of Kaymaroon, Sebastian was indeed an able man.
Born a nobody, Sebastian single-handedly turned Kaymaroon into the country’s biggest supermarket chain in the year 2000 from a mere city workshop.
Moreover, the popular commercial complex concept after 2010 was also first introduced into the country by Sebastian from abroad.
However, Sebastian’s conceitedness had made him neglect the fact that the country and its citizens’ spending was far inferior to what the situation overseas was. Thus, his advanced concept had only fallen short in the end.
The price he paid was Kaymaroon being the first supermarket defeated by online shopping.
According to history, Sebastian was currently at the pinnacle of his career, so it made sense that he was very proud of himself.
Against Sebastian’s harsh words, Dawson showed no sign of a reaction.
“You seem to be very interested in my development, Chairman Walker.”
Sebastian laughed aloud and replied, “Of course, you’re my old rival. How can I not worry about whether a loser like you is enjoying the last years of his life?”
Dawson’s eyes slightly narrowed as he replied calmly, “Thank you for your concern, but you should take care of yourself.”
Sebastian’s forced smile fell and he suddenly turned to Jasper. Realizing that there was nothing special about Jasper, Sebastian smirked mockingly. “What’s this? Did Chairman Schuler bring someone new over as well?
“Don’t you know to greet people when you see them?”
Jasper looked straight at Sebastian. Evidently aware of the fight between the two men, Jasper merely replied, “My apologies, but I don’t know you.”
Sebastian burst into laughter. “I’m the host of this conference. What are you doing here if you don’t recognize me, then?”
“Sebastian! Jasper is someone I brought over. If this is what you believe, then there’s no need for us to be here at your conference!”
Dawson suddenly spoke and moved as if pulling Jasper out the door.
Chris, who had been chuckling bitterly by the side, suddenly persuaded by saying, “Dawson, hey, come on. Let’s not be so rash, okay? We’re here to attend a conference, it’s a good thing. Relax, okay, let’s calm down.”
Pulling Dawson to sit as he spoke, Chris then turned to say to Sebastian darkly. “How about you greet the other guests, Mr. Walker? We’ll talk later?”
Sebastian scoffed. “What big shot are you pretending to be in front of me when you’re just a loser who has been hiding for the past ten years?
“How do you even have the shame to bring someone new here? Do you not have any dignity? Ever thought about how his impression of you will shatter when you make a fool of yourself in public again?”
Sebastian then turned to leave.
Dawson’s expression was blank, but his eyes were icy.
Chris smiled bitterly and comforted him. “You know that Walker is just arrogant by nature, Dawson. Just ignore him.
“A lot of people are for this industry standard and those of us against it make up the minority. There’s no way we can stop him if you leave.”
Jasper suddenly spoke, “We can stay to have a look.”
