Salute To The General



Penny smiled and greeted Chance and the others. "Ariarica's threat to sanction us is unacceptable and against the law. I am also a victim like all of you. Therefore, I would attend this meeting no matter what. I am here in solidarity with you all to stand up against this bully."

Can we stand up against Ariarica's sanction?

All the chairmen were stunned. They were impressed with Penny's boldness but also doubted whether they were able to oppose Ariarica.

While the other chairmen remained stunned, Chance stood up and clapped.

Since the chairmen looked to Chance for guidance, they quickly came out of their daze and clapped alongside him.

Their enthusiastic applause angered Jemma.

She glared at Penny and the company owners.

Then, she growled and said, "Are you rebelling? Penny, what makes you think you can stand up against Ariarica? If all of you refuse to cooperate, we shall issue the sanction order immediately. Then, your oversea businesses would be doomed."

Jemma's words dashed the crowd's hope, sending them into silence and fear.

Chance and the others quickly looked at Penny.

Penny remained unintimidated in the face of the threat and replied with a smile, “Jemma, I know you have the backing of Ariarica. However, you forgot that the rest of us here have the support of Eurasia. I have faith that our country would not let you bully

US.

At this point, Penny turned to the crowd and said, "Mr. Fox and fellow esteemed chairmen. From what I know, the Cab send Zion Lucas to negotiate the matter with Jessica Pattison, Ariarica's Minister of Foreign Affairs. They will begin official negotiations tomorrow. Therefore, we should trust our country's leaders. Thus, before they complete the negotiation, we shouldn't rush into anything but wait patiently for the outcome."

Penny took a deep breath before continuing, "I firmly believe in our country. We should act in accordance with what our country instructs us. I hope our country's leaders can help us resolve this problem. However, if they can't solve the problem and require us to sacrifice for the greater good, we shall do as our country needs. Such is the mentality that every entrepreneur should have."

The hall fell silent.

Chance took off his glasses and wiped the corner of his eyes while saying solemnly, "Ms. Smith, you are right. We should trust our country. If it needs us to sacrifice for the greater good, that is what we should do. All entrepreneurs should have this mentality."

Penny and Chance's words had inspired all the other chairmen. They answered fervently, "Yes, we shall obey our country!"

Jemma looked at the crowd in disbelief.

She could not understand why an entrepreneur would be willing to sacrifice his hard work for the country.

Although she could not understand them, she knew she had failed Ms. Pattinson's order to rein in these chairmen.

She was fuming. If looks could kill, she would have killed Penny several times over by now.

Meanwhile, Penny, Chance, and the others were preparing to leave. They decided to go home and wait for the outcome of Zion and Jessica's negotiation.

However, Penny turned to Jemma

before leaving and said, “Ms. Danvers, Lapologize forNôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

disappointing you tonight. Eurasians have a custom of giving a gift for the first meeting. I have also prepared a small gift for you tonight, so please accept it."

At Penny's words, Ava immediately presented a small box to Jemma.

Jemma accepted the box and opened it. She found a classic watch that an Ariarica military officer wore.

Judging from the design, only someone of general rank could wear it.

Jemma asked in confusion, "What is this?"

Chapter 2526 3

Although this is a precious watch, it represents the death of an Ariarican general under Nathan's hand. This gift is an insult to us!
