Chapter 488 The Incident
I stood there in shock, not expecting the people from Erewhon to be so straightforward. The others around me were also giving me unfriendly looks.
Before coming here, Jack had already warned me that while people in this country might seem laid-back, they were actually quite competitive especially with someone like me, a foreigner. If I didn't prove myself quickly, gaining a foothold in the company would be hard. He had asked if I wanted him to back me up, but I had refused.

However, I firmly believed in the power of competence. As long as my work was solid, they would have no choice but to respect me.
