Chapter 1231 Meet Him (1/2)

”Come on. We're good friends. You don't have to apologize for such an unimportant thing!” Bill exclaimed.

He wore a kind smile on his face. Then, as he chuckled, his round body jiggled like jelly. Ethan found this disgusting but didn't say anything.

”Since you say so, I won't worry about it anymore.”

Ethan didn't exchange pleasantries with Bill for very long. He had gotten used to dealing with the man this way.

”By the way, I heard that the Gu Consortium's plan has been advanced.”

There was a hint of malice in Bill's voice. It no longer sounded as light and happy as it had been a minute ago.

Ethan nodded and explained, ”Yes. To everyone's surprise, it was announced today that the plan should be completed two weeks ahead of the original schedule. That means that the launch will be held before our court session.”

Bill nodded with satisfaction. Suddenly, he asked, his voice even becoming more serious now, ”Are you sure that this won't cause us any problems? Why do I feel that something is wrong?”

Ethan laughed as he assured him, ”Bill, I've been working with you for many years. How can you not trust me on this? Don't worry about it. The Gu Consortium is on the verge of collapsing. They have been worrying about this for a while.”

”I trust you, but Jacob is a crafty man. I'm afraid that we may suffer losses if he outthinks us. I only seek your confirmation. Don't overthink.”

Bill comforted Ethan, patting him on the shoulder. The latter looked coldly at the plump hand that held him. His eyes narrowed with disgust.

”I understand.”

Ethan casually brushed Bill's hand off his shoulder, a move which Bill failed to notice. Instead, he continued, ”You did well in Jingshi City, but what bothers me now is the business in F Country. Darren is surrounded by an army of security personnel every day. So far, we've made no progress on this matter. What on earth shall we do now?”
