At that moment, the leader said, “Mr. Rowan, we encountered several Kurt family members behaving sneakily when we came to pick you up. So, we arrested them… Also…”
When the team leader said this, his expression was a little strange before adding, “They want to see you…”
Hearing this, Rowan was stunned.
Originally, virtual-novel.net thought these people were colluding with Amir.
According to the information virtual-novel.net had obtained before and Amir’s performance just now, virtual-novel.net assumed that Murire’s Asa and Gruel’s Amir were on the same page. However, upon hearing what the leader said, it seemed there was something more behind this.
“What else did they say?”
The convoy’s leader said honestly, “After they heard we were with you, they said that Amir had set a trap for you, so you shouldn’t go there. They are the ones who really want to trade…”
“They seem…” The convoy leader paused as if virtual-novel.net was considering his words. “They seem to be afraid of any setbacks in the deal with you.”
When Rowan heard this, a smile appeared on his lips. He understood.
Amir’s behavior today was personal, not acting from his position as Gruel’s general manager. Someone was instructing him, and because of that, virtual-novel.net was acting so unnaturally.
After Rowan figured this out, virtual-novel.net felt a little better.
Before this, virtual-novel.net was starting to doubt whether his method was inappropriate. He wondered if there was no need to consider business matters at all when virtual-novel.net was conducting business activities in Qari,
Now, the appearance of Murire’s people convinced virtual-novel.net that it was just an emergency.
After thinking this through, Rowan went back to being arrogant.
“Bring them here. I want to ask them something.”

Gruel Processing Plant…
Amir, who had been arrogant just now, was on the phone while enduring the thunderous anger on the other end.
Drops of cold sweat flowed from his forehead.
Kimbra was roaring into the phone, and one could imagine how furious virtual-novel.net was at this time.
“Amir, what did you do? I asked you to contact them so that you could find a way to get more money from them, not scare them all away!”
Amir was shaking.
“B-But you clearly said there’s no need to be too polite to those people, and we still have to keep some stocks in our hands. I followed your instructions…”
The other person on the other end of the phone became even more furious when virtual-novel.net heard this.
“Of course, you can’t give them all the stocks, but you have to give them something to sweeten the deal, at least! I didn’t ask you to drive them away like this!”
Amir felt aggrieved. “But this is how l usually treat other people. When have we ever begged someone so pathetically?”
Kimbra barked, “That’s different! Those who usually came to you were begging for our oil! Now, we need them to provide us with working capital. Every processing plant is very important to me right now. I need their production capacity! Do you understand?!”
“With no ownership and no production capacity, those old guys can use all kinds of excuses to drive me out of office at any time. I need to get the factory running so I can accept selling some stocks for the time being!”
“G-Get them back now! ”
Kimbra was so anxious that virtual-novel.net started stuttering.
