Chapter 992
“Mr. Lennon, the Old Master says that it’s true that businessmen only pursue benefits.
“However, one would still have to determine what kind of benefit they’d gain and what kind. of situation
they’re in.
“He asked me to tell you that even if we lose, he has no regrets.”
Homer turned around and looked at Sean intently.
“I won’t lose.
“You guys won’t lose either.”
Sean’s gaze was extremely calm. The decisive tone of his voice left no space for objection either.
“Alright!”
Homer nodded. The few of them then clinked their glasses lightly.
Soon after, more and more people entered the gala venue.
Meanwhile, everyone, the Quinn family included, joined the larger group of people.
Sean’s group consisted of extremely few people since the start.
The people on Sean’s side basically included some of the people with the highest profiles in the social
circle of River City.
Sean did not know all of them, but Homer and Chadwick introduced him to each of them in soft voices.
Although the main people in charge of some companies could not attend the event personally, they had
sent over their representatives.
This showed just how influential Jen-Bond Holdings was in River City.
After Jon and Quill Zimmer finished greeting all the guests, they returned to the main hall as well.
“Mr. Zimmer!”
“Young Master Zimmer!”
Suddenly, plenty of people got up to greet them.

Meanwhile, Jon simply glanced at Sean and walked over to the crowd.

were on cloud nine.
Families that were once much more powerful than the Zimmers spoke to Jon in courteous tones.
“Please take your seats, everyone. Mr. Thomson will be here soon.”
Jon waved his hand and gestured for everyone to take their seats.
Meanwhile, Quill turned around and pointed his middle finger at Sean.
Once James arrived, Sean would become the public enemy of everyone in River City.
Therefore, Quill felt beyond overjoyed right now.
Everyone on Jon’s side was talking loudly and jovially.
Meanwhile, the people on Sean’s side were relatively quieter.
It was as if the winner had already been determined. The battle had ended before it began.
Chadwick started feeling anxious once again.
He had distanced himself from so many companies and families just because of Sean. He had even
offended Jen-Bond Holdings.
Was this really worth it?
However, there was no way back right now.
He had to stay seated even if he could not sit still.
“Mr. Thomson is here!”
Suddenly, someone shouted out. Everyone got up at once.
James smiled as he slowly walked into the gala venue from backstage.
He was dressed in a luxurious Western suit. It cost at least 15 thousand dollars.
Even his tie cost at least 1500 dollars.
A luxury, limited edition watch shone brightly on his wrist.
Meanwhile, two long-legged beauties in gowns flanked both his sides as he walked in.
As soon as James appeared, the atmosphere in the hall grew heated at once.
“Welcome, Mr. Thomson!”
Jon got up and started clapping loudly.
Everyone, Old Madam Quinn and the others included, all got up and applauded James’ arrival.
There were several hundred people in the hall. Everyone except for the dozen of people in Sean’s
group got up and welcomed James.
Even Mr. Luke got up and clapped twice.
This showed just how terrifyingly huge James’ influence was in River City.
Although not everyone was on his side, the majority of the people in River City supported him!
“Everyone is being way too kind. Please sit down!
“Please forgive me if my greetings are lacking in any way.”
James smiled and gradually walked to the front of the gala venue.
There was a high platform that resembled a stage there. There was a large screen behind the
platform.
“Let’s invite Mr. Thomson up on stage to give a speech.”
As soon as everyone sat down, Jon chuckled while he spoke up.
“Sure!”
Everyone agreed at once. Applause rang out once again.
Only Sean and the others watched upon everything silently.
“Thank you to all of you for taking the time to participate in the gala that I set up today.
“I’m extremely honored!”
James looked extremely humble as he accepted a microphone and started speaking to the audience
below the stage.
Sean did not listen to any of the nonsense that he had said just now.
“I invited all of you here today because there was something I’d like to tell you.
“Jen-Bond Holdings has received a lot of support and help while settling down in River City.
“Jen-Bond Holdings promises to create an excellent business ecosystem for everyone. We will make
sure that River City’s GDP is boosted rapidly.
“After that, we’ll reallocate the resources across the financial circle of River City and form. a chamber of
commerce to ensure that we have a complete business system in place.

Everyone applauded after James’ beautiful speech.
“Shhh!”
James lowered his hand, and everyone went quiet.
“But…”
James wanted to let Sean know that everything that was meant to happen would take place now.
As expected, the smile on James’ face gradually vanished.
“Jen-Bond Holdings, all the businesses in River City, and all the employees of government offices hope
that River City’s development will keep improving.
“However, there are around a hundred people that haven’t contributed to River City at all. They’re even
trying to destroy the financial system we have in place right now.”
“Jen-Bond Holdings will not tolerate such behavior. Everyone in River City should not tolerate such
behavior either.”
James’ words stirred up everyone’s curiosity.
“Mr. Lawrence, what do you mean by that? Who’s that?”
Just then, someone in the audience asked James.
“That’s a great question!
“In other words, someone tried to scheme against other companies to get their hands on others’
company assets. They then transferred the funds to someone else’s account and blamed everything on
someone else. They have created a huge fund shortage.
“Up to a hundred companies have been involved. They’ve almost gone bankrupt.
“The financial circle of River City will not tolerate such treacherous behavior.”
As soon as James spoke out, the companies that had once been affected by the financial crisis all
stood up to show him their support.
“That person is here right now.”
James shook his head slowly while he spoke. He then looked at Sean.
Immediately, everyone fixed their gazes on Sean.
Suddenly, Sean became the center of everyone’s attention.
