Chapter 1308 Here Comes Lucius
Despite what Wynter said, she already had an answer in mind. She said, “Having more people can also be a disadvantage.”
It was easy for disagreements to arise. With Wynter’s background in psychology, Wynter was very adept at exploiting this knowledge.
“Oh? What disadvantage?”
Taylor wanted to ask more but was interrupted by a sudden commotion from the other side of the
room..
Kenton’s eyes lit up, and a look of superiority and excitement spread across his face. “Everyone, please feel free to relax. We have a distinguished guest arriving. I will go greet them.”
Who could be important enough for Kenton to refer to them as a distinguished guest?
Soon, everyone had their answer.
The person who had caused the commotion walked in.
He had a strikingly handsome face and was clearly not a local, yet he possessed some Cascadian features. His eyes, a deep green, were profound and piercing, as if they could see right through a
person.
With his appearance, the previously noisy hall gradually quieted down. People’s gazes were irresistibly drawn to him, filled with both reverence and curiosity.
Several attendants followed closely behind the man, their movements precise and their demeanor impeccable.
As they passed by, the surrounding guests couldn’t help but turn their heads. Some even whispered among themselves, their curiosity about the man’s purpose palpable.
“I never expected someone like him to attend a meeting held by the Chamber of Commerce.”
“Mr, Lucius is one of the Chamber’s decision–makers. It’s not surprising for him to be here.”
“I know, but I didn’t expect someone of his stature to come. If it weren’t for the financial and industry chain support from Mr. Lucius, the Chamber wouldn’t have developed so quickly. He saved a lot of our companies.”
“He’s also doing this as a favor to Mr. Wray. Bringing in foreign capital was definitely the right move. Otherwise, how could we keep these businesses afloat?”
“Exactly.”
These murmurs, though faint, did not escape Lucius‘ keen hearing. However, he did not pause his stride. He merely nodded slightly in acknowledgment to show his respect for those around him. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
As Lucius moved further into the venue, more and more Chamber of Commerce members gathered around, hoping to engage him in conversation and even establish business connections.
However, Lucius maintained a subtle air of detachment, his gaze constantly searching for

something, as if he was uninterested in the surrounding bustle.
“Mr. Wray, has the Chamber meeting already started?” Lucius asked Kenton, who stood beside
him.
Kenton smiled and replied, “Yes, we’ve entered the bidding phase. Since you’ve arrived, Mr. Lucius, you can take a look and decide who you’d like to collaborate with.
“But don’t worry, as per tradition, the decision of which members the decision–makers collaborate with will not be disclosed until the end. It’s to keep some suspense for the Chamber meeting.”
“That sounds good,” Lucius responded before turning to look at his assistant. Seeing this, Lucius‘ assistant immediately prepared for the voting process.
People started to gather around, hoping to be chosen. Their demeanors were clearly ingratiating.
Even some of those who stood behind the Whitmans wavered. They knew that a casual investment of a billion from Lucius could revive their businesses.
Some of them stood up and apologized to Reuben before they hurried over to join the lively crowd. There was no way to stop them in such circumstances.
Kenton knew this, which was why he was so unscrupulous. Hearing that Lucius had arrived, he was happier than anyone else because that was his source of confidence. He had foreign capital backing him up!
Reuben naturally understood Kenton’s strategy. His eyes darkened, and he let out a long sigh.
