After a pause, Jerry looked at Willow and said, “Willow, have you talked to Edwin? He owes us a big
favor.”
“I have.” Willow frowned helplessly. “Mr. Townsend said the congressman controlling the Aviation
Administration Department is his rival. Thus, his hands are tied.”
Jacob waved his hand. “It would be nice to have help, but we are not concerned even if there is none.
What made them think rejecting our flight permit application would stop our people from coming here?”
“You’re right!” Jerry arched an eyebrow. “Unless Central Federation seals itself up fully, we will always
be able to bring in any number of people we want.”
Willow looked at him and nodded gently. “I will leave you to arrange to bring people here. On the other
hand, I have to take charge of reorganizing this hotel.”
Jacob considered for a moment and said calmly, “It will continue to bring inconveniences if we continue

matter concerning the Meteorites, you need to arrange to build new headquarters as soon as possible.”
“No problem, sir.” Willow nodded. “We managed to get some money from that gang of sly old men. It
should be enough to build new headquarters.”
“Those old men…” Jacob’s brow twitched with annoyance.
Meanwhile, in an opulent office on the top floor of Paramount Chamber of Commerce’s building at
Gallard Street, the gang of sly old men Willow mentioned had gathered for wine and tea.
“Heh, it’s an insignificant chamber of commerce that came from the outer districts. While they have
some capital, it’s not worth our attention.”
A prominent entrepreneur had a look of disdain as he leaned against the couch, holding a glass of red
wine.
Two days ago, he had proposed a business joint venture worth twenty billion to the Draco Chamber of
Commerce. However, Willow had rejected it immediately.
Thus, the entrepreneur felt humiliated and bore a grudge against Willow and the Draco Chamber of
Commerce.
He happened to be friends with the second in command of the Aviation Administration Department.
When he heard that Willow was applying for a flight permit, he made a call and got her application
rejected.
He glanced around and saw that everyone, including Benny, the president of Paramount Chamber of
Commerce, only smiled but say nothing. Thus, he pursed his lips and turned to Kennedy who sat
alone. “Kennedy, what do you think? Don’t you agree with me?”
Kennedy glanced at him and smiled coldly. “Outsiders are detestable, but friends are even more
abominable. They greet you with a smile and stab you in the back. How shameless!”
The atmosphere in the office turned awkward. A few people even appeared uncomfortable.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAmong them were an owner of a major bank, a shipping tycoon, and a director of a big business that
controlled half of the market for raw materials supply in Paramount.
Previously, in order to obtain friendship – or more accurately, benefits – with Draco Chamber of
Commerce, these people acted on Willow’s hints and plotted against the Fest family.
Since Kennedy brought up the matter directly during their gathering, it was natural that these people
felt nervous.
Benny was the one who called for tonight’s meeting. Sensing the tense atmosphere, he smiled and
waved his hand. “Kennedy, let’s not bring up the past. Let me judge the matter. You will be given one
percent of the future total profit as compensation for the loss you suffered due to Draco Chamber of
Commerce.
“One percent?” Kennedy frowned. “Benny, don’t you know how much that seized oil alone was worth?
I’m afraid one percent is not enough.”
