Chapter 0122
In less than 20 minutes, the door to Amber’s office was opened once more.
The mayor of Ol‘ Mare, Lewis Christian, arrived.
“M–Mister Christian?” Hugo still sat on the couch with his legs crossed, mocking Alexander and Amber.
When he saw Lewis enter, he was so frightened that he
shuddered. He almost jumped from the couch.
The man in front of him was the real decision–maker of Ol‘ Mare. He held the highest power in Ol‘
Mare. Behind him were all leaders of every industry in Ol‘ Mare. All of them had the power to shake up
the entire Ol‘ Mare.
Lewis and the staff that he brought with him stood on both sides timidly, minutely trembling.
This man dared to sit in Lewis‘ presence? A lowly rank staff like him did not even have the right to be in
the presence of the mayor, let alone sit.
Lewis did not even glance at Hugo and his staff members. His gaze was directed
toward Alexander and Amber.
The Lord of War…
This great man was on the same level as the ruler of Wyverna. He could only revere
him!

He walked up to Alexander and was about to shake his hand when he stopped short.
He did not dare to shake Alexander’s hands.
He was only a mayor. How could he shake hands with the Lord of War?
The Lord of War, His Lordship, the Commander of the Northern Wyverna Army… Any
of this being mentioned would turn Ol‘ Mare into chaos.
“Nice to meet you, Mister Christian.” Alexander smiled ambiguously and shook hands with Lewis. “I’ve
told you about the incident through the phone. I just hope
you’d be fair and just and give us lowly citizens an explanation.”
Lowly citizens?
Lewis stumbled and almost fell.
‘Your Lordship, if you’re a lowly citizen, what am I? A beggar? I won’t even be
qualified to be one!‘ Lewis mused to himself.
“You’re Miss Amber Chesire, correct?” Lewis did not dare talk too much to
Alexander. After shaking hands with him, he immediately turned to look at Amber
and smiled. “Our city is famous for entrepreneurs. You’ve taken over Severn Group and managed it
with great success. You’ve brought great contributions to the economy in Ol‘ Mare. It is a great honor to
meet you!”
Amber was a little surprised. Why was the mayor, a great man, so polite to her?
An honor, he said? The mayor’s praise was too much for her!
“M–Mister Christian.” Amber was unspeakably nervous, but she still generously
shook hands with Lewis. Then, she said bitterly, “I don’t know where we went wrong
to have supposedly violated the rules of the Food and Drug Administration. I’m sorry
to cause you trouble.”
Trouble?
“Not a problem at all!” Lewis waved dismissively. “Miss Chesire, you’ve managed it well. You’ve solved
the problem of eight thousand jobs. I can’t thank you enough!”
Then, he turned and barked at Hugo, “You. What is going on? What rules did New Chesire Group
violate? If you can’t produce any proof, I’ll get you fired!”
He was truly livid.
Ever since Alexander came to Ol‘ Mare, he had dreamed of impressing him. He never would have
thought that the first time he met Alexander was in such a situation, all because of some stupid issue. It
was utterly embarrassing.
“I…” Hugo shuddered. His legs turned to jelly.

frightened that he almost peed his pants. He was dumbstruck, and

his lips quivered.
“Mister Crowdon!” Lewis glared at Hugo before turning to look at one of the leaders
he brought along. He said coldly, “You’re in charge of the Food and Drug
Administration. Give me an explanation!”
Among the group of people, the tall and slightly balding middle–aged man was the person in charge of
the Food and Drug Administration, Drake Crowdon. He timidly went forward. His face paled as he
sweated profusely.
He had been overseeing the Food and Drug Administration for five years. He had never seen Lewis so
mad before, let alone Lewis reprimanding him in front of his colleagues. His expression darkened.
“Mister Christian, give me some time. I–I’ll deal with it right away!”
Drake wiped away the sweat on his forehead. He bowed at Lewis before glaring at Hugo, almost
murderously. “I’ve seen you before. You are…one of Ethan Burke’s staff, yes? What problems did New
Chesire Group have? If you can’t give me any proof, I’ll
kill you.”
