Chapter 836 Absurd

This... Is it truly that grave?

Is it possible that Dawson is afraid of Skylar?

Maxwell was riddled with misgivings, and when he saw that Dawson didn't agree right away, his rage flared.

Even if the Ruritania Building was to be sold, they could have negotiated a fair price if Maxwell hadn't offended Skylar beforehand.

But now, in order to punish Maxwell, he had enraged Skylar, and the Ruritania Building could only be sold for $3 billion.

They lost billions of dollars.

How could he not be angry after witnessing Maxwell's incompetence?

"Why are you still standing here? If you don't agree, get out of here immediately!"

Dawson directed his rage at Maxwell.

Maxwell, who had been privileged since childhood, had never seen Dawson behave like this. He was so terrified that his legs trembled, and all he could utter was, "I dare not disobey Grandfather's orders."

Dawson's face softened somewhat when he heard his remarks.

"I still have family matters to attend to," he remarked to Shirley and the other followers, "so each of you goes back to your own homes and minds your own business."

"Also, because you have a good relationship with Maxwell, I recommend that you do not provoke Mr. Stone for no reason; otherwise, you will not know how you died."

"We understand, Mr. Dawson."

Shirley and the others agreed without saying anything. They exchanged glances before exiting the Barlow family's parlor.

Shirley couldn't help but say, uncertainly, at the door of the Barlow family house, "This Skylar is quite capable. He's not as weak as I thought."

She'd heard Skylar was from the third-tier city of Cloudtopia, and she didn't think much of him. Skylar and Dianne's discussions had even become a running gag for her.

But it wasn't until she saw how the Barlows treated Skylar as Mr. Stone that she understood she'd underestimated him.

"However, even if Skylar has some means, he is definitely no match for the Miller family."

Shirley grumbled to herself as she shook her head.

The Barlow family was significantly inferior to the Miller family in terms of strength alone.

Furthermore, the Miller family had a permanent director in the Nirth Commerce, as well as a vice

president of the Nirth Commerce.

To some extent, the Miller family could sway crucial Nirth Commerce decisions.

Furthermore, the Miller family was married to the Hernandez family, one of the three principal families in Nirth Province.

Skylar had upset the Miller family because of Valerie, which meant he had to battle not just with the Miller family but also with the power of the Nirth Commerce.

Even the Hernandez family would step in to assist the Millers when necessary.

Skylar was by herself. Could he truly stand up to these three huge forces on his own?

Shirley's lips curled in a mocking smirk as she reflected about this.

Skylar, on the other hand, was unconcerned with these intricate family dynamics.

These folks were, in his opinion, silly, like children playing house.

Anything would be alright if they didn't provoke him. But if somebody misjudged him and ran into his gun, they couldn't blame him for being rude.

Skylar and Yulia began preparing plans for the Kareem Fashion office in Ruritania after signing the contract with Dawson, completing the purchase, and receiving ownership of the Ruritania Building.

He did, however, have a strategy in mind. He planned to pay a visit to the Hernandez family once things with Yulia were sorted.
