Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 833 Who said that?

The one that reacted first was naturally Carlos since this meant that his position would be at stake.

If there was something that threatened one's livelihood, it wasn't as if they would just submit and accept it.

Carlos would naturally say something to fight for this livelihood of his.

"Sir prime minister, what do you mean by this? Why would someone be taking over our Alfried Company?"

The way that he said this had no politeness at all.

It was clear that he was going to fight to the very end to keep his job.

But the prime minister didn't seem bothered at all by this question or the way that Carlos asked this.

Instead, he just calmly gestured to Haley on the side and said, "This is Miss Haley, one of my brother in law's consorts and one of the queens of this kingdom. But at the same time, she is the head of the Big Bear Company."

The moment that Carlos heard this, he immediately narrowed his eyes.

The Big Bear Company was a name that he had heard of.

As the head of the largest company in the kingdom, he naturally knew about the Big Bear Company since it was one of the up and coming companies of the kingdom. The business that they did overlapped with the Alfried Company, so it could even be said that they were rivals.

The moment that Carlos heard which company Haley came from, he immediately started putting everything together and he had an ugly look on his face.

He could guess what the prime minister was planning to do, but it didn't seem like there was anything that he could do to stop him.

In the end, even if he was the head of the Alfried Company, the real power of the company lay with the royal family.

If the other side wanted to kick him out, he really couldn't say anything about it.

But to everyone's surprise, Haley suddenly said, "I'm not going to do that."

Everyone looked at Haley with surprised looks when they heard this since all of us thought that she would jump at this opportunity. Even I thought that she would jump at this chance to swallow the Alfried Company.

It turned out that this wasn't the case.

With the look that was on her face, it even seemed like she was very against this.

However, this was the opposite of what anyone thought would happen.

After all, there was everything to gain from taking over the Alfried Company.

After a long silence, the prime minister gave a cough to calm himself down before asking, "Why? Isn't it a good thing if you were to take over the Alfried Company?"

Carlos revealed a very ugly expression when he heard this, but he didn't say a thing as he waited for Haley's response. He also wanted to hear just what kind of response Haley would give to this.

Haley just calmly said, "My company is one that I've built on my own, I will not give it to anyone."

Though she said this in a calm voice, the look in her eyes made it very clear that she was firm on this point.

That wasn't strange though since this company was one that she had built from scratch. It was the company that she fought hard to break free from the grasp of her father, so it was a company that she cared for deeply.

If someone were to suddenly tell her to hand it over, there was no doubt that she wouldn't accept this.

After another moment of silence, Carlos said in a confused voice, "Wouldn't it be better for your company if the Alfried Company was merged with it." With a more proud look, he said, "The Alfried Company is a company that deserves to be called the number one company in this kingdom. It isn't something that a small company like yours can compare to."

He didn't forget to add in a sharp jab at the end of his words to put Haley down.

However, Haley didn't seem offended at all by this since she knew that he was right.

When comparing the two companies, there was no comparison at all.

Haley just calmly said, "Even if they were just merged, that means that the policies of the Alfried Company would leak into my company. You can say that it won't, but we all know that it will since the people that used to work for the Alfried Company will be working for me now. These people have the pride of those that have worked for the biggest company in the kingdom before. Will they really do things the way that I want them to?"

Carlos opened his mouth before suddenly closing it again.

After all, he couldn't refute what Haley had just said.

He could think of ways to refute this, but he knew in his heart that it was all just sophistry.

After all, the reality of the situation would be as Haley described.

Those that had the pride of working for the undisputed number one company in the kingdom, to be forced to work for a smaller company all of a sudden…they would feel unwilling.

It would be hard for them to accept all of this and they would even make things difficult.

So Carlos had no choice but to agree with what Haley said.

Though there was a part of him that wanted to agree since he wanted to use this as an argument for his case.

The two of them both turned to look at the prime minister who had been silent the entire time.

The way that the two of them looked at him, it was as if they were saying that they had already said everything that they needed to say.

The prime minister just sat there with an undisturbed look on his face before suddenly revealing a smile to say, "Who said anything about you merging the two together? I just said that you would be taking over."
