Chapter 460

"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…"

Several old scholars next to him also nodded. "Yeah. This is a matter between all of you and it has

nothing to do with the academic circle!"

"Exactly. We can't intervene in this situation; otherwise, the academic circle and the business circle will

be at odds with each other."

Although these individuals had a solid reputation in the academic circle, they were unwilling to offend

Diosna City's top businessmen. It was especially so for Gareth, whose grandson worked as a

department manager in the Scarlet Heart Group.

Additionally, the Scarlet Heart Group even sponsored many of their talks; they wouldn't be foolish

enough to be at odds with Heston just for Vincent, who had not even established a firm footing in the

academic circle.

When Vincent saw that these old scholars were unwilling to stand up for him, he froze and it caused

him to take a few steps back. "This can't be! This book sets the stage I need to start my academic

career! This new book launch can't be ruined!"

At this moment, he had already lost all his energy. It was different from how he was in the beginning.

His expression dimmed as his eyes lost the spark that they initially had.

"Why… Why?!" Vincent almost broke down. "Why are you trying to rile me up? Why do the chairmen of

these large corporations want to make things difficult for a regular university professor like me?"
