After listening to the expansion blueprint of the business leaders in Toulon, Jerome Bonaparte did not show a trace of happiness; instead, he furrowed his brows tightly.
The business leaders standing beside Jerome Bonaparte became flustered at this sight, not understanding which of their words had displeased His Majesty the Emperor.
"You... Your Majesty!" the leaders called out nervously.
Jerome Bonaparte, coming back to his senses, relaxed his furrowed brows, and with a reassuring smile, said, "No need to be so tense! I was just thinking about something; please continue!"
The leaders breathed a sigh of relief and continued to introduce the industries and plans under their command to Jerome Bonaparte.
Jerome Bonaparte listened attentively to the leaders' descriptions, nodding from time to time, seemingly in agreement with their plans.
After the banquet ended, Jerome Bonaparte ordered the butler to summon Minister Dico to the study, while he made his way to the study first.
