Chapter 326: Chapter 326: Does Imperial Group Have the Upper Hand?

This…

One grunt from Azure Dragon had thrown Alan Austin and the other entrepreneurs who were trying to curry favor with him into a state of dumbfoundedness, their smiling faces gradually freezing.

“Give me any more of this nonsense, and I’ll disqualify you from the bidding!” Azure Dragon said indifferently.

These words sent Alan Austin and the others into a state of panic. They hurriedly made way for him, not daring to make direct eye contact with Azure Dragon.

Seeing Alan Austin and the others trembling in fear, Azure Dragon sneered inwardly and then silently turned his gaze towards White Mitchell.

White Mitchell greeted him with a casual glance, after which Azure Dragon moved on, slowly walking towards the already set up stage.

Alan Austin and the rest stood where they were, looking aggrieved, and not daring to take even a deep breath.

Who would have expected that Azure Dragon would rebuke them so fiercely, leaving them with no dignity?

Elsewhere, Sherry Jones was silently astonished by this scene.

She hadn’t expected that White Mitchell was actually right. It was a good thing she didn’t go over, or she would have been chastised too.

With this in mind, Sherry Jones cast a grateful look at White Mitchell and said, “White, you’re amazing. How did you know that Azure Dragon doesn’t fall for this kind of flattery? Do you know Mr. Azure Dragon very well?”

White Mitchell responded with a knowing smile: He certainly understood Azure Dragon. He had trained Azure Dragon and considered him his subordinate and a comrade in arms. He knew the exact number of bullet holes on Azure Dragon’s body.

What’s more, Azure Dragon was there that day because he had called him. Except for Sherry, Azure Dragon wouldn’t give face to anyone. Even if Austin and his crew could pluck the stars from the sky, Azure Dragon wouldn’t give them a second look.

However, White Mitchell couldn’t share these details with Sherry. So he deflected her question by saying, “Ah… I was just guessing. Turner once mentioned that Azure Dragon is upright and doesn’t like sycophancy.”

When Sherry heard this, she responded with a look of acceptance, not suspecting anything.

As they were chatting, the people who had wanted to curry favor with Azure Dragon had already discreetly returned to their positions, shamefaced after their humiliation.

Alan Austin was even more resentful seeing the cheerful scene over at White and Sherry’s table.

“Enjoy your little victory now! Soon, you will have nowhere to hide your shame!” Alan thought to himself, glaring fiercely at them.

Subsequently, he turned to Grandy Anderson seated next to him and said irritably, “Where are the Jones Family’s people? The bidding conference is about to begin, and they still haven’t shown up. Are they planning to rebel?”

Clearly, Alan Austin wasn’t one to sit idle. Even though David Herb had assured him, he still chose to be cautious.

So he had specifically arranged for the Jones Family’s people to come, intending to publicly disqualify Sherry from the bidding.

If the Jones Family, representing the Jones Group, announced their withdrawal from the bidding, Sherry wouldn’t have a chance of turning the tide, with everyone watching.

This time, he was determined to take down Sherry Jones!

All of you, White Mitchell and Sherry Jones, after today, it’s your end!

At this thought, Alan Austin’s eyes gradually turned cold, gleaming ominously like a venomous snake.

At that moment, Grandy Anderson turned to look at him, and slowly said, “They’re here, just outside.”

“Good! Bring them in immediately. I can hardly wait to see White Mitchell and Sherry Jones fall from grace! Quick!” Alan instructed urgently.

On hearing his orders, Grandy Anderson nodded and immediately headed to the outskirts.

At that moment, the Jones Family’s people were anxiously waiting outside. Seeing Grandy Anderson, they regarded her as a savior and were eager to curry favor with her.

Alan Austin had already informed them: If the Jones Family could bring down Sherry Jones this time, then they wouldn’t be implicated in whatever trouble White Mitchell caused. Further, the Jones Family might get a chance to participate in the new Nezzi city project.

This was a golden opportunity not to be missed, so the Jones family’s people agreed without a second thought.

At the moment when Grandy Anderson went to receive the people from the Jones family, Alan Austin stood up with a confident smile and slowly walked towards White Mitchell and Sherry Jones.

Seeing Alan Austin, Sherry Jones’ face darkened instantly, and she snapped, “Alan Austin, what tricks do you still want to play?

This is a bidding conference today, with Mr. Azure Dragon on the stage. Aren’t you afraid that Mr. Azure Dragon will directly cancel your bidding qualification?”

Cancel my bidding qualification?

Hearing this, Alan Austin smiled coldly and said in a dismissive manner: “The ones who are going to have their bid cancelled today are not me, but you Jones Group.

You don’t seriously think I’d let you participate in this bidding conference smoothly, do you?

With your ability in the Jones Group, being able to get to where you are today is already my mercy. And you still dream about winning the bid? Haha… Absolutely ridiculous!

Let me tell you, this project in Nezzi New City has long been predetermined to be ours from the Imperial Group. This is personally confirmed by David Herb!”

“You!” Sherry Jones’s face worsened as she heard these words, grinding her silver teeth almost to pieces.

At this time, White Mitchell calmly responded: “Oh? Really? The result hasn’t come out yet, and you are so confident? Could it be that you’re not afraid of being deceived by David Herb?”

Deceived me?

At these words, Alan Austin gave another cold smile and confidently said: “Result? You guys, still want to see the bidding result?

Dream on! You first deal with your own mess and then talk about these sarcastic remarks.

I won’t say more. The gift I sent you has arrived. Enjoy it, hahaha…”

With these words, Alan Austin returned to his seat with a smug look on his face, looking like he was assured of victory.

At this moment, Sherry Jones felt uneasy after hearing what he said. She was not afraid of Alan Austin confronting her openly, but was afraid of him playing tricks behind her back.

While Sherry Jones was worried, a sharp voice suddenly penetrated her ear.

“Mr. Azure Dragon, our Jones family has something to say before the bidding conference begins.” Hearing Mori Jones’s voice, Sherry’s heart thumped.

Immediately, Sherry Jones couldn’t help but glance in the direction of Alan Austin, and then she stood up abruptly, looking at the Jones family’s people: “Grandmother, why…why are you here?”

Old Madam Jones at the front coldly snorted without giving Sherry Jones a second look. At this time, Amanda said impatiently, “If you can come, why can’t we?

You mean, just because you hold shares of the Jones Group, we can’t?”

At this…

Seeing Amanda’s aggressive look, Sherry Jones felt even more uneasy. She hurriedly walked towards the people of the Jones family, trying to get them to leave first.

“Grandmother, whatever it is, we can talk about it at home. I’ll agree to any conditions you have, but please don’t cause trouble here, I…” Sherry Jones pleaded earnestly.

But the Jones family’s people turned a deaf ear to her words, completely ignoring her, and stubbornly walked towards where the Azure Dragon was seated.

Watching this scene, Sherry Jones felt as if her heart was being pricked by needles. She never thought that at this moment, she would be troubled by the Jones family.

White Mitchell, standing aside and watching Sherry Jones’ tormented face, sighed quietly and then stepped in front of the people of the Jones family: “I’m giving you one last chance to leave now, or bear the consequences!”

Faced with White Mitchell’s kind warning, Amanda sneered immediately, “You can barely save yourself, and you’re still giving us a chance?

“Are you now afraid? I tell you, it’s too late! It serves you right for offending people everywhere!

You just wait for Alan Austin and the others to tear you apart and throw you into the River Arch for the fish!”

Having said this, Amanda and the others didn’t even bother to look at White Mitchell a second time, and quickly walked to the front of the stage, and couldn’t wait to say, “Mr. Azure Dragon, our Jones family has something to say…”
