Truthfully, there weren't many forces here that dared openly challenge Golden Chrysanthemum, but House Rosewood was certainly one of them.
They had the connections and wealth to back it up.
Over the years, they had accumulated significant power and resources—perhaps not as vast as Golden Chrysanthemum's, but close enough.
However...
That second investment slot Owen had mentioned? It was nothing more than a ploy.
Share the technology?
Impossible!
Was Owen going to hand over the Lazer Gun and allow others to use it against him? Even with Golden Chrysanthemum, Owen had no intention of fully sharing the technology. Once the Lazer Gun was completed, he could sell it to them, but with strict safeguards in place, ensuring it could never be used against Crossbridge Academy. The technology itself would never be disclosed.
Owen's real goal was to provoke House Rosewood.
