"I-I can't do anything about it..." Sebastian looked distressed. "They are all well-known entrepreneurs in Diosna City, and I dare not go against them… Besides, the mayor also called me just now..."

When Vincent heard that the mayor had actually given instructions in person, his expression only became worse.

"W–What? The mayor personally instructed..." Vincent's lips were instantly chapped and his voice was hoarse. "Then, what about the launch of my new book? Today is the day to determine whether I can establish a solid footing in the academic community…"

When he was on the verge of breaking down, the Scarlet Heart Group's bodyguards had already forced all the visitors to the side and left a wide passage in the middle.

Following that was Heston, who entered with a group of top businessmen behind him; each and every one of these businessmen were among the most formidable in Diosna City.

These men were clearly of such capability that only Heston would collaborate with them to develop Coliree Group's key project.

With so many top business leaders approaching him, Sebastian felt that his leg was about to cramp!

"M-Mr. Maslow," he greeted in a shrill voice while forcing a grin.

"You are Mr. Frazier?" Heston stepped up to him to ask in a commanding manner.

"Yes, that's me, Mr. Maslow..." Sebastian nodded repeatedly and then slightly bowed to the people behind Heston and greeted them as well. "Hello, fellow chairmen..."

Without giving him another glance, Heston turned to face Vincent instead. "Professor Albright, right? Is this your new book launch conference?"

Vincent had a highly displeased expression and a furious demeanor as he yelled through clenched teeth, "I don't care what chairman you are! Who are you to snatch my place? Even if the king is here today, you must give me a solid explanation!"

"Explanation?" Will, who was standing behind Heston, replied icily, "Do we need any reason if we, the Scarlet Heart Group, want to disrupt your affairs?"

As soon as Will had the attitude of a spoiled rich brat, Vincent was left speechless.

"Y-You are going over the line!" Vincent was furious. "You bunch of low-class businessmen! Do you really not care about the academic communities?"

As he said that, he looked at those well-known old scholars. "Edgar, Gareth! Speak up for me!"

Gareth's expression tensed as he stroked his white beard and said awkwardly, "About this… I'm just invited here to attend your new book launch conference. I don't know how to intervene in an unexpected situation like this…"
