NovelEnglishChapter 1529: The military representative, ignoring the silent curses radiating from the government officials, fixed his gaze directly on Rhys, waiting for a response.

The military representative's patience was wearing thin, yet Rhys hadn't spoken a word.
The tension in the room was palpable, and the government officials weren't faring any better. The leader of the government officials finally broke the silence, saying, “Mr. Green, let's not forget—it was our government that initiated this cooperation. Isn't it a little presumptuous for the military to suddenly want a slice of the pie?" Rhys remained quiet for a beat longer. As tempers began to boil over, he let out a smirk and finally said, "I'm just a businessman. Why are you all making this so complicated for me?" Both the military and government representatives rolled their eyes in unison. Just a businessman? What ordinary businessman would dare to be so rude to them? But they still had to play along. Their superiors had issued a strict order-if they didn't secure this project, their positions were as good as gone.
A government official from Jusdence said, “Mr. Green, you're being modest. This project is in your hands, so who you choose to collaborate with is entirely up to you." Rhys narrowed his eyes slightly, a flicker of frost in his gaze. Interesting. These people sure knew how to flatter when it suited them. If it were as simple as they claimed, would he have needed to make this trip? He maintained his composed exterior, his voice steady.
