the coboration fell through, they would incur massive losses, dere bankruptcy, and the nd would end up belonging to the
Freeman Group.
inking about this, Bethany mmed the table without hesitation. “The Freeman Group can ise their offer to 200 million dors for
this batch of materials.”
ne person in charge at Sky Legion Construction clicked his tongue twice, somewhat sdainful. “Well... doing business does
