Chapter 302 Defeat
The Understated Dragon Lord
Jessica pulled two different face masks from the drawer.
Daniel tore each package open, pinched the masks between his fingers, and even took a sniff of
their scents. After drawing his conclusions, he let out a long sigh.
"Sigh..."
"What are you sighing about?"
"I'm just thinking... Honey, your product has met its match in this extraordinary competitor, and that's
why you faced such a brutal defeat in the market!"
"Idiot, what are you talking about? How dare you say my product failed? If anyoneâs a failure, itâs
you! Humph!"
In response, Jessica grabbed a folder and lightly tapped it against Danielâs back as a sort of playful
reprimand. Then, full of anticipation, she asked, "So what about 'The Seven White'? Did they use
some funky ingredients that don't show effects immediately, but could be harmful over the long
term?"
"Honey, just because your product isnât winning, are you thinking of smearing your competitor with
dirty tricks?"
"Whatâs wrong with that? If Isabella did it, am I not allowed to?"
"What did she do exactly?"
"Even though Isabella didn't directly disparage our products, she's far from fair play. There are so
many manufacturers she could use, but she just had to target TMO's. She offered a high price and
poached our manufacturer, causing a disruption in our mask production. Then, Isabella took that
opportunity to roll out 'The Seven White.'"
"It sounds like Isabella is actually quite wary of you. Even though her product is better than yours,
she didn't dare to face you head-on and had to resort to sneaky tactics."
"Humph! Of course she should be wary. She's an outsider who dared to snatch my manufacturer on
New York soil? Just thinking about it makes me mad!"
Daniel picked up a TMO mask and examined the packaging.
"Just from the packaging, this mask doesnât seem very high-end. And I canât even begin to discuss
the product quality."
He went to the drawer and took out a few more masks, opening them for inspection.
"The quality of TMO masks seems to vary with each one, doesnât it?"
"You're right! Theyâre all different. Because she stole my manufacturer, I had to find a new one and
their quality control is terrible. That's why the masks came out looking like this mess and I can't
even sell them! We spent years developing this mask and invested a massive amount in research. I
planned to make at least five billion in net profits for TMO within a year and now itâs all gone. Not
only did I lose my expected profits, but Iâm also almost a hundred billion in the hole. All those
unsellable stocks in the warehouse are driving me crazy!"
Jessica rambled on, but Daniel wasnât listening. After sniffing the mask again, he asked, "Got a
lighter?"
"I don't smoke. Why would I have a lighter?" Jessica looked puzzled. "What are you planning to
do?"
"These masks could be treasure material. If my plan works, we can use these to create a new face
mask thatâll completely beat 'The Seven White.'"
"A new face mask? Thatâs a terrible name."
