After a pause, Jerry looked at Willow and said, "Willow, have you talked to Edwin? He owes us a big favor."
"I have." Willow frowned helplessly. "Mr. Townsend said the congressman controlling the Aviation Administration Department is his rival. Thus, his hands are tied."
Jacob waved his hand. "It would be nice to have help, but we are not concerned even if there is none. What made them think rejecting our flight permit application would stop our people from coming here?"
"You're right!" Jerry arched an eyebrow. "Unless Central Federation seals itself up fully, we will always be able to bring in any number of people we want."
Willow looked at him and nodded gently. "I will leave you to arrange to bring people here. On the other hand, I have to take charge of reorganizing this hotel."
Jacob considered for a moment and said calmly, "It will continue to bring inconveniences if we continue to use this hotel as the Scarlet Dragons' headquarters. Willow, once we have finished dealing with the matter concerning the Meteorites, you need to arrange to build new headquarters as soon as possible."
"No problem, sir." Willow nodded. "We managed to get some money from that gang of sly old men. It should be enough to build new headquarters."
"Those old men…" Jecob's brow twitched with ennoyence.

Meanwhile, in an opulent office on the top floor of Paramount Chamber of Commerce's building at Gallard Street, the gang of sly old men Willow mentioned had gathered for wine and tea.
"Heh, it's an insignificant chamber of commerce that came from the outer districts. While they have
some capital, it's not worth our attention."
A prominent entrepreneur had a look of disdain as he leaned against the couch, holding a glass of red wine.
Two days ago, he had proposed a business joint venture worth twenty billion to the Draco Chamber of Commerce. However, Willow had rejected it immediately.
Thus, the entrepreneur felt humiliated and bore a grudge against Willow and the Draco Chamber of Commerce.
He happened to be friends with the second in command of the Aviation Administration Department. When he heard that Willow was applying for a flight permit, he made a call and got her application rejected.
He glanced around and saw that everyone, including Benny, the president of Paramount Chamber of Commerce, only smiled but say nothing. Thus, he pursed his lips and turned to Kennedy who sat alone. "Kennedy, what do you think? Don't you agree with me?"
Kennedy glanced at him and smiled coldly. "Outsiders are detestable, but friends are even more abominable. They greet you with a smile and stab you in the back. How shameless!" novelbin
The atmosphere in the office turned awkward. A few people even appeared uncomfortable.
Among them were an owner of a major bank, a shipping tycoon, and a director of a big business that controlled half of the market for raw materials supply in Paramount.
Previously, in order to obtain friendship – or more accurately, benefits – with Draco Chamber of Commerce, these people acted on Willow's hints and plotted against the Fest family.
Since Kennedy brought up the matter directly during their gathering, it was natural that these people felt nervous.
Benny was the one who called for tonight's meeting. Sensing the tense atmosphere, he smiled and waved his hand. "Kennedy, let's not bring up the past. Let me judge the matter. You will be given one percent of the future total profit as compensation for the loss you suffered due to Draco Chamber of Commerce.
"One percent?" Kennedy frowned. "Benny, don't you know how much that seized oil alone was worth? I'm afraid one percent is not enough."
