NovelOnlineChapter 1428: A look of realization dawned on Bryan's face, and he frowned slightly. "Interesting," he said. “Well, there's no better tthan now. Let's talk." The project site stretched out before Bryan and Javier, devoid of any noteworthy features.
Bryan eased himself out of the car, his lean frresting against the cool metal. With a practiced motion, he extended a cigarette to Javier. "You go first, Mr. Deleon," he said.

"Your vendetta against the Deleon Group-it's about my wife, isn't it?" Bryan flicked his lighter, the fldancing in the breeze as he lit his own cigarette. He then held it out to Javier. "And aren't you targeting the EB Group because of your wife, Mr.
Deleon?" he countered, exhaling a plof smoke.
Javier fell silent.
Bryan continued, "The Deleon Group wanted to plant its flag on Onaland, but lettell you, that's the Worst turf you could've picked. It's already packed with big domestic players-standing out here is difficult. Word is, your foreign shareholders flat-out rejected the idea of expanding here. But your wife, well, she pushed for it, didn't she? And you, knowing she's got her own gplan, let her do what she wanted. Don't you think keeping such a woman by your side as a memory of your late wife is insulting your late wife?" Bryan didn't want to escalate things too much. A direct showdown with the Deleon Group would only drag on for years, especially if Javier played the international connections card.
He had other things on his mind—like being there when Eileen gave birth. He wanted her to deliver the baby without any unnecessary stress. Otherwise, he wouldn't waste his breath on Javier.

"No one can really replace someone else, Mr. Deleon. You used to be a top dog in the business world; you should know that. A moment of weakness is one thing, but dragging it out..." Bryan's lips curled into a slight, thin smile -not exactly sarcastic, but far from friendly. That look alone was enough to make Javier more uncomfortable.
Bryan leisurely flicked the ash from his cigarette, his tall, unruffled frexuding an air of calm that was impossible to ignore.
Javier said, "Are you saying that if I deal with Amoura, you could let the Deleon Group off? If that's the case, then I can temporarily But Bryan cut him off before he could finish. "That's not what I meant, Mr. Deleon. How you handle Amoura is your business. In this game, we play with power, not personal . I'm just giving you a heads-up—you should do something before it's too late." Bryan crushed his cigarette underfoot, straightened his suit with a quick brush of his hand, gave a small nod, and walked toward the project site.
Javier watched him leave, his brow furrowed tightly in frustration.
"Oh, one more thing." Bryan paused mid-step, turning back briefly. "Colby has been quite persistent in his m attempts to meet with me. I made it clear that unless you cpersonally, I wouldn't entertain him again. Did he relay that message to you?"
The question was more for show. Bryan already knew the answer,m Golby hadn't passed the message on.
