Sebastian made a decision. He did not recover or expand the Ford Group's business. Instead, he kept the majority of its business under the Aino Group.
At that moment, other than Eldon and Marcus, nobody knew who was the boss of the Aino group. Therefore, he would just continue keeping his identity a secret.
In the future, the Ford Group would slowly wither away.
"Send my word out and just say that the Ford Group is no longer the same as before, " Sebastian told his subordinates.
All of his subordinates sitting in the conference room understood what Sebastian was feeling at that moment.
"Mister Ford, why?" one of Sebastian's men who had fought alongside him for more than twenty years asked him straightforwardly.
Sebastian smiled gently and shook his head. "I'm tired. I don’t wish to bring trouble to myself anymore. I'll just take it as letting my children have a peaceful life. I have all the power now, but there are still people who will challenge me from time to time. I've figured it out after that. The reason that the others would challenge me is that I am standing at the top of the tower. It's too striking. From now on, I want to live inconspicuously. I don't want to attract that much attention anymore. This is considered as giving me, my children, and also my loved ones a peaceful and quiet space. This is also me giving more chances to the younger generations." Sebastian's words were very calm but very resolute. Once he had made up his mind, of course, he would never change it anymore. None of his subordinates dared to refute him. All of those subordinates who had gone through fire and water with him for years, in particular, understood him. They knew that the reason Sebastian's so-called restraining himself and staying hidden was not because he has really gotten old or weak.
He was just deliberately hiding his abilities. He simply no longer wanted the world's attention on him. That meant that his mind and his personality had gotten even more mature.
All of his subordinates voted in favor of his decision. From that day on, Sebastian suddenly had nothing to do anymore.
There were plenty of rumors about him out
"Just take the big battle within the Ford family more than ten years ago, for example.
"Everyone thought that Sebastian was just an illegitimate child without power, who did not even have the right to the inheritance. Also, rumor has it that Sebastian was tortured by his half-brothers until he was on the verge of dying with only a single breath left.
"Many people had seen Sebastian looking like he was about to die. He was locked up in a run-down mansion in a remote place. However, who would have known that he would actually take control of the entire Ford Group overnight?"
"That's right. Sebastian's comeback that time simply stunned all thirty million people in South City."
"It was not as simple as just him taking over the entire Ford Group overnight back then. Which corporate group in this world wouldn’t go through a turbulent time whenever a new person took over? They said that every new leader would have their own aides, so there would be a lot of changes in management. However, starting from the following day Sebastian took over, the Ford Group grew by leaps and bounds."
