Kevin wasn't intentionally belittling Julian; it was just the reality. To such high-level figures, Julian was a nobody. Regardless of his achievements, until he became a tycoon in this city, he was nowhere near that level. Let alone establishing a relationship with giants like the mayor or council members.
Julian didn't shy away from the issue, revealing the truth directly. "Wood probably paid a price and brought Gador to deal with me. You know, while I have some people working for me, I'm far from matching someone like Gador, who has been dominating East City for so many years. I need someone at that level of power to exert pressure on Gador and force him to change his plans."
Kevin put down the documents and luggage he was sorting and sat down across from Julian with an exaggerated, amused expression. "My God, you really aren't afraid of death. Gador rarely engages in killing anymore; he's been busy cleaning up his image."
