The Tycoon's Odyssey

Chapter 71: 71:Gathering Of Young Master's

As they continued their debate, the door to the exclusive private room swung open, and a young man walked in. He was impeccably dressed in a tailored suit, exuding an aura of sophistication and privilege. His sharp eyes scanned the room until they settled on Noah's table.

"Ah, there he is," Noah remarked with a smirk, gesturing at the newcomer. "Jay, come join us."

Though Jay's status paled compared to Nova's, you can't underestimate his worth, in a way it wasn't wrong to say that Jay's father was the owner of the educational institution of Utkal.

If you offend Jay, you risk getting banned from obtaining a degree, making it difficult to get admission elsewhere in Indra.

Jay approached with a composed stride, acknowledging the nods and respectful glances from other patrons who recognized him as a young master of influence in the city.

"Hmm!" Jay greeted them, taking a seat gracefully. "I couldn't resist after hearing about this brewing discussion on Evan."

"He's quite the menace, isn't he?" one of the young men remarked, eyeing Jay as if trying to pry into his intentions.

Noah leaned forward slightly, his expression thoughtful. "You know, Jay, there's a rumour floating around that Evan might have some dirt on your father. Something that has propelled him into this unexpected success."

Jay raised an eyebrow, maintaining his composure. "Though my father's dealings are not always transparent, I find it hard to believe Evan could have such leverage."

"My father was going to deal with him but..."

At this moment Jay couldn't help but erupt in anger, "I am sure that piece of shit had done something to force him to step back."

First, he was hit in the head, and the next day after waking up, he found that his arch-nemesis had been set free.

How can there be such a coincidence?

He might be not a genius, but he wasn't a fool.

He knew how the upper society worked.

"Also, I have been eyeing and keeping tabs on him. There is no rich woman feeding him, nor is there anyone backing him up. He built everything from scratch.

"Well, you know how these things go," another man chimed in. "Ambitious upstarts often find creative ways to climb the ladder."

John, Jasper, and Ken, who had been quiet, noticed his gaze.

"I heard that you had some problems with Evan before. Some personal conflicts."

John, Jasper, and Ken's eyes brightened up.

"Yeah, young master...That bastard beat and humiliated us."

Nova's brows squinted for a moment.

"Is he a skilled fighter?"

"We can't be sure of that. It's just that he has good intuitive skills and is quite agile."

"I see..." Noah paused for a moment before looking back at Jay.

"Try to find information about the head members. Maybe we can create some problems from them."

"As long as there is enough chaos, everything will slowly crumble apart. Without much experience, background, and help, I am sure he will collapse and won't be able to recover."
