"Please ask..." Mark looked at Rudolph then back at the man.
The man nodded: "We are investing all our financial resources and materials in the war as the outbreak of war is inevitable. We have taken this opportunity to associate ourselves with the Temple too. We have been very careful in our deployments but I have heard rumors that after the war we will be creating an alliance with Scott consortium..."
"Alliance?"
"With the Scott consortium?"
The people on both sides of the table were surprised as they looked at each other. Some of them laughed out loud.
Mark's eyebrows tightly wrinkled: "Is it because of age that my hearing has become so bad? Am I hallucinating? How can you come up with such an absurd and fantastic thing. I'm beginning to doubt that you have come from the inner wall."
The man laughed: "Mr Mark I was just saying the things that I have heard. After listening to you deny it, now it seems more foolish than ever."
