The spacious office suddenly became very quiet, so quiet that Glades Horne could hear Hansen Ruiz's breathing.
Hansen Ruiz stood before the floor-to-ceiling window, maintaining the same overlooking posture as Glades Horne. Both men naturally possessed an air of leadership. Wherever they went, they could carve out their own domains and control their own worlds. Perhaps their similar natures made them both enjoy standing high above to look down, a vantage that gave them a sense of superiority born from their achievements.
Beyond the window, aside from the sky, they could see the surrounding buildings, which were all much shorter than the Valence Group's office building. Because of this, the Valence Group stood out like a crane among chickens, attracting everyone's attention.
The sheer size of the Valence Group, its wealth, its legend, and its stature in the city were unparalleled, not even by the Bluen Family consortium.
