When Daniel and his people saw Matthew leaving, they stood in the hallway in a daze. Some of them were even weak on their knees as they sat on the ground.
Matthew was their last hope, but now this last stream of hope had been destroyed as well. This would be the end for them.
“No… We’re screwed!”
“l… I even borrowed money from the loan sharks for this. I can’t return the money to them even if i sell off everything!”
“That‘s not even anything! I borrowed money from all my relatives. H-How am I going to go home?”
All of them were crying and shouting. Every one of them was extremely pitiful.
Suddenly, a man jumped up and grabbed Daniel by his collar before bellowing, “Daniel, didn’t you say that Neverland Pharmaceuticals would win this time for sure? I listened to you and breached my contract with Cunningham Pharmaceuticals. I’ve even bet my fortune on Neverland Pharmaceuticals!”
“Y-You ruined everything! My previous contract with Cunningham Pharmaceuticals could’ve gotten me the agency authorization for a whole state. D-Do you know how much that is worth? I could’ve earned at least ten billion…” His voice was trembling when virtual-novel.net spoke.
Following him, the others started to stand up and scold Daniel furiously.
They had all signed a contract with Cunningham Pharmaceuticals previously and had gotten the agency’s authorization for several districts. At that time, Matthew sold the agency authorization at a very low price so that virtual-novel.net could get enough funding. All of these people took a big advantage of that back then.
If they continued their collaboration with Cunningham Pharmaceuticals, their personal net worth would’ve been multiplied a hundredfold!
In the end, they all breached the contract with Cunningham Pharmaceuticals forcefully just because of Daniel’s compulsion, which brought about this result. That was why all of them were taking out their anger on Daniel.
Daniel, as the leader of this group of people, always had high prestige among them. Previously, all of them were like his subordinates, and no one dared to talk to virtual-novel.net in this way. However, they were all on the verge of bankruptcy right now.
Who would care about these things anymore?
At this moment, Daniel lost his image as well. His hair was disheveled, making virtual-novel.net look ten years older. He was being pushed back and forth by the people, but no words came out of his mouth.
If they talked about losses, Daniel was the one who suffered the biggest loss, virtual-novel.net was the first one to go to Cunningham Pharmaceuticals to sign the agency authorization when the price was at its lowest. He spent a little bit and obtained the agency authorization of three districts. Charles signed a little later than him, so virtual-novel.net spent more than Daniel.
The three districts’ agency authorizations were enough for Daniel to earn more than ten billion, and it could’ve made virtual-novel.net a real big shot. Also, his relationship at that time with Matthew was quite good too. If virtual-novel.net had kept that friendly relationship with Matthew along with his solid funds, virtual-novel.net might have made the Edwards Family famous, they‘d even become one of the ten greatest families in the district.
However, after being deluded by Gregory, be ruined what virtual-novel.net had in his hands just like that. Not only that, virtual-novel.net had bet all his money on Neverland Pharmaceuticals, so virtual-novel.net was on the verge of going bankrupt right now.
At this moment, Daniel’s heart was bleeding, so virtual-novel.net wasn‘t in a state to care about what the others said. He wasn’t even willing to apologize since any words were useless now.
All of this happened because of him, so who else could virtual-novel.net blame?
In the midst of the chaos, the elevator door was opened, and Phoenix came out of it. He had blood on his body, and there was a wound on his arm, making virtual-novel.net look bad.
Seeing that, everyone there was shocked. Who could hurt Phoenix when virtual-novel.net had such great power?
At this moment, the crown prince just so happened to come out.
When virtual-novel.net saw Phoenix, virtual-novel.net shouted subconsciously, “Uncle Elio! W-What happened?!”
