Harvey York’s Rise to Power

Chapter 6453
Harvey clapped his hands together and said, "See? I already allowed you to show your sincerity, but you didn't accept it. Whose fault is this, then? Then again, while you're not someone earnest, I am. If you really want me to give up my position, I can agree on one condition.”
Elriơs expression darkened, and he slowly said, "State your condition."
Harvey calmly spoke, "Have the Country H Commercial Group terminate their partnership with all Island Nation entities. Don't let the Island Nation have a chance to enter our country's market from now on."
"That is preposterous!" Elric instantly became furious and no longer held back his anger when he heard Harvey's condition.

There was no point in continuing with the act anymore.
"Do you know how vital the Island Nation's market is to the commercial group? Once their capital has been removed, how will we continue doing our business? As a businessman, you should also understand that capital has no nationalities.
"We have worked so hard and long before we managed to get their support, allowing us to dominate our country's market. And now, you want US to remove our advantage? What kind of joke is this?'
Harvey calmly replied, "I’m not joking. Indeed, capital doesn't have any nationalities, but capitalists do. I won't waste my breath by saying the Island Nation never gave up on its ambition, but I will only say one thing.
"It's fine during peace times when a commercial group as huge as ours is backed by other countries' capital. Do you think that they won't do anything during times of war? If we're careless. Country H Commercial Group might become traitors instead.
"I'm not saying this because I want to wipe away the commercial group's merit. The commercial group has done a lot during these past years. But it's time to cut the corruption, and I'm giving you and Country H Commercial Group a chance.
"If you think you can't face the Islanders and won't be able to complete this, I will be the chairman and I will accomplish it. I will make Country H Commercial Group remembered in the annals of history," Harvey said, his eyes lit up.
But when Elric heard what Harvey was saying, his eyes became cold and vicious. "Are you trying to say that the only reason I'm able to build Country H Commercial Group into the behemoth it is today is because I've forgotten my roots and worked with the enemies of the state?'
