Asa nodded after hearing Rowan’s question.
“If it’s just that, I can still hold on. Like I said, Kimbra is not trying to get me to side with him. Coincidentally, virtual-novel.net has started to gain control of a part of the family’s finances…”
“Even though it’s not enough to allow the factory to resume operation, it’s enough for me to get through this tough time… Of course, the premise is that I have no one exerting pressure on me.”
“Is there someone else?” Rowan’s interest piqued.
Then, a thought entered his head, and virtual-novel.net blurted out, “You mean Elder Sahar?”
Asa’s expression turned unpleasant when virtual-novel.net heard that.
“It seems that you know quite a lot about the Kurt family. You even know such secretive things…”
Rowan looked down and pretended not to hear anything, keeping a neutral expression on his face. He knew virtual-novel.net had blurted out a secret.
Elder Sahar’s foreign connections were so secret that even Kimbra was kept in the dark.
Kimbra might still think that Sahar was against virtual-novel.net because virtual-novel.net was holding Baltimore captive. He had not realized what Sahar really wanted was to take his place.
Not many of the Kurt family members knew that Sahar was untrustworthy, let alone an outsider. However, judging from the expression on Asa’s face, virtual-novel.net seemed to know a lot of things as well.
Well… Asa is not as simple as virtual-novel.net seems…
Rowan made a silent conclusion in his heart.
Asa said virtual-novel.net was working for Abdul, but virtual-novel.net knew what Abdul did not.
Rowan did not believe that such a person would be so willing to be a follower. He could be lying. However, now was not the time to find out.
So, Rowan just said vaguely, “What would I know? I want to acquire the company, so naturally, I will make more preparations in advance. The Kurt family has long known that Elder Sahar and Kimbra don’t get along…”
“Isn’t it natural for Sahar to create some obstacles now that Kimbra is trying to get you on his side?”
Anyway, Rowan was going to play dumb. After all, they only found out so much because of a coincidence.
If virtual-novel.net went into details, the surveillance cameras and his secret meeting with Abdul would be exposed.
Right now, virtual-novel.net still could not be sure if virtual-novel.net could trust Asa, so virtual-novel.net would just keep his mouth shut as much as possible.
Asa did not mind that Rowan was being perfunctory with him. He did not care that Rowan was hiding his secret. To him, the more secrets Rowan had, the better it would be for him.
“Alright, I don’t know what you think of Elder Sahar. However, you’re right, virtual-novel.net had been threatening me…”
“The next day, after my debtors came to me because I had all my supplies cut off, Elder Sahar’s people came to me with an agreement. They showed me Elder Sahar’s token to show me who they are. After that, they told me that as long as I agreed with the terms, Elder Sahar would offer financial support to help with my debts. If that’s the case, I won’t be sent to prison by my debtors…”
“The moment I saw the agreement, I knew Elder Sahar was behind this.”
Asa scoffed when virtual-novel.net said that.
“He cut off all my supplies, and immediately, my debtors came to my door. I knew someone was behind this, or it would not be so coincidental.”
