The conference room fell into dead silence.
Everyone was stunned by Andes' gamble. He was using his family's centuries of accumulation to back up this "paper."
Even with Edward's support, the risk was too great.
If a bank run occurred, even the Andes Family would instantly go bankrupt!
The murmurs continued for some time, and some people shook their heads, stood up, and left the venue without any obstruction from the guards at the door.
Seeing no one stopping them, more people began to leave. Soon, there were very few people left at the long table, and people sighed at having come for nothing.
An old friend of Andes stopped in front of him after standing up. The old gentleman stared at him for a long while and finally sighed.
"Mr. Andes, your courage is commendable, and I understand you have no other choice. But forgive me, my family cannot participate in this gamble."
"Perhaps in a few years, when the time is ripe, we can talk again."
