In the parlor of the Duke of Malvain's mansion, Jason sat on a sofa, facing a fat man.
He was short, yet there was an undeniable presence of authority about him.
His brown hair was neatly trimmed, and his sharp black eyes conveyed a calm confidence.
He wore an elegant gray robe, though its beauty was slightly overshadowed by his protruding belly.
His name was Victor, the branch manager of Silver Dragon Bank for the southern region.
"Welcome, Branch Manager Victor. I hope you don't mind my invitation," Jason said politely and with respect.
Although Victor was merely a branch manager, he was not someone to be taken lightly. The Silver Dragon Bank was the largest financial institution in the Great Velmora Empire, wielding immense economic power.
The bank's branches operated in close coordination, with quarterly meetings ensuring regular communication.
Any misstep on Jason's part could influence how the top executives perceived him.
