Chapter 298: Showing Arrogance

Ryder and Shu were seated on a separate seat that was arranged especially for them.

Since each guest was allowed to bring only one person with them, all the tablets had only two chairs around them.

"Ah, I see a few familiar faces. You see that person to our left?" Shu asked Ryder.

"The man in the green?" Ryder inquired.

" Yeah, He’s the owner of Delta Shipping. They own the shipping business. You can say that they are the biggest shipping company with seventy percent market share. Even though we have some ships of our own, we use their vessels to transport material, including weapons of war. They’re very trustworthy," Shu told Ryder.

"That girl beside him should be his wife. It’s his second marriage, I think. His wife handles the accounting side of their business," he added.

"Shipping business hah, I don’t think I’ll need their help in the meantime," Ryder muttered as he glanced at the man in the green suit.

" In business, one should never think like that. It’s alright for all established businesses, but those that start a business for the first time must get to know everyone. You’ll never know when you might need them. That’s the first thing I was taught when I took over the Dream Corporation," Shu told Ryder as he shook his head.

"Ah, right. Since I have an opportunity, it’ll be good to introduce myself at least," Ryder muttered as he nodded his head.

"I’ll introduce you to all of them later. I’ll just tell you and them for now so you can know which person you want to put more focus on," Shu told Ryder.

"The lady on the third table to our left? She owns Walter Entertainment," Shu introduced another person to Ryder. It was a woman who looked like she was in her late forties. She was wearing a blue dress.

" Walter Entertainment, the media giant. Not only do they make high budget films with big stars, but they also own many mainstream media outlets. The third most popular tv news channel, Walter News, is also owned by them. As a new business, it’s always good to stay on their good side. You should get to know her as well. The lady is annoying, though. She keeps bugging me to have an interview on her channel," Shu let out as he smiled wryly.

"That man in green to our left is the CEO of the United Wrestling Federation. Even though all the fights are usually fake and pre-planned, people seem to like it a lot. I don’t think he can be of any help to you, but still, it wouldn’t be a loss to get to know him. The bulky young boy beside him is his son."

One after another, Shu kept introducing people in the room to Ryder.

He introduced over forty of them before he stopped.

"It’s quite weird. I thought that a few military big shots would be here as well. It looks like they couldn’t come, or they weren’t invited," Shu muttered after looking all around the room and not finding a single person from the military.

" They only called people from the business world maybe," Ryder chimed in.

"Ah, no. There comes one," Shu let out as he watched a man step inside the hall. The man was in his mid-fifties. He had black hair and a rugged face.

"That’s Major General Raul; I met him on a deal with the government. He’s a hard negotiator and an annoying guy altogether. I don’t like him at all," Shu suddenly said as he shook his head.

"That boy beside him must be his son then," Ryder muttered as he looked at the handsome young man walking beside the middle-aged Major General.

The young man looked like he was in his late twenties.

"Yeah. I haven’t met his son, but they look similar. Anyway, from what u heard, Major General Raul’s son is not even thirty, and he’s already a Captain in the army. He’s close to promotion as well. He should be Lieutenant Colonel pretty soon. His name was Rahil, I think," Shu said.

Major General Raul stepped towards his seat and noticed Shu sitting there.

" You’re here as well? I thought you didn’t attend parties, Mr. Shu," Major General Raul asked Shu.

"I felt like attending one this time, and this just happened to be the one," Shu replied casually.

"Anyway, is that your son?" Shu asked.

"Yes. He is my son, Rahil," Major General Raul introduced his son and introduced Shu to his son. "Rahil, this is Mr. Maxwell. He is the owner of the Dream Corporation."

"Nice to meet you, Rahil," Shu said as he reached out his hand.

Shu kept his hand in the air, but Rahil didn’t shake his hand; ultimately, Shu retracted his hand.

"I guess you didn’t teach your son any manners, Major General Raul," Shu responded as he smiled wryly.

"Hmph, don’t act so big. You’re nothing without the inheritance you got. Your power and your money are all inherited, and you didn’t work hard for even a single day. I, on the other hand, fought in the army for my Rank and my power. I don’t need to show me manners, so some rich kids," Rahil said as he rolled his eyes.

Ryder could see that Major General Raul didn’t look uncomfortable at all with Rahil’s behavior. It was as if he was enjoying it instead.

" Aren’t you the same, little guy? Do you think your father’s position didn’t help you indirectly in reaching the rank you did? Do you really think it was because of your talents only? There are many people like you all around the world. If you keep that arrogant attitude on the battlefield, you wouldn’t even know how you die. You’re lucky we’re living in peacetime at the moment, and you’re not out in some desert in Sahara fighting a war," Ryder chimed in. His tone was filled with even more arrogance than the man that had just insulted Shu.

"You! Who the heck are you to talk to me like that?" Rahil yelled at Ryder.

His shout attracted the attention of everyone in the room.

"Brother Ryder, it’s fine. He’s a kid," Shu said.

Almost everyone in the room looked at Shu weirdly. Shu himself was only in his early 20s, and so was Ryder. Both of them were talking about a clearly older man as a kid. They didn’t know whether to laugh or cry in this situation.

"Yeah, he’s a kid," Ryder nodded his head.

" Go to your table and come back after learning some manners," he casually replied to Rahil.

"You bastar-"
