Lola wasn’t that serious about Golden Estate, but she didn’t want her failure to turn Saul into the upper social circle’s laughingstock.Thus, she wanted to stop Ronnie no matter what.Everyone in the meeting room felt a cold chill run down their spine. They wanted to speak up, but they dared not utter a single word.Lola glared at the higher-ups, disappointed.They had been given high pay despite never lifting a finger, yet they couldn’t even function properly at such a crucial moment.Lola then glanced at a newly-hired consultant—the chief geomancy expert, Franklin Failes.With his experience, helping a few high officials in a single year would allow him to live the rest of his life in glory and riches.He came to be the chief geomancy expert since nobody was able to replace the previous one who had quit.The Robbins family used a lot of connections to get Franklin here.Even though he had just got into the company, he enjoyed a high status.“Do you have any ideas, Master
Lola felt relieved after hearing Franklin’s honest words.As long as the company was still standing, it wouldn’t be embarrassing to let Harvey handle everything.Since Saul wouldn’t turn into the talk of the city because of this mess, perhaps this was an opportunity to strategize.After thinking about all this, Lola came to a decision and nodded.That said, she felt extremely resentful after thinking about just how arrogant Ronnie would be after the situation.He had been constantly harassing her ever since they were children, swearing that he’d get back at her sooner or later.He’d surely grow a lot more arrogant if he did manage to force the company to change markets.Lola could probably use her connections with the Hoffman family to crush Ronnie…However, the family would look down on her if she decided to use one of the top ten families to deal with such a small matter.So, Lola quickly dropped the thought soon after.The Hermit Families were discreet for their own reason
Franklin stood up, though his legs were wobbling.“CEO Hoffman! You need to tell me who you got the drawing from!”“I want to see the person who did this!”“This is insane!”“This is simply amazing!”“The strokes are enough to reveal the city’s true colors! Nobody has been able to do that for the past few decades!”“He even pointed out exactly where the Golden Garden is!”“If we can get this and find evidence of the legendary place…”“Golden Estate will flourish!”“I need to meet this person, CEO Hoffman!”Franklin’s professional facade was completely gone; now, he was exactly like a child hopping around in joy.After seeing the look on his face and hearing his words…The higher-ups’ minds were blown.They all froze in place.Nobody expected a random piece of paper to be so invaluable!‘This is insane!’‘Everyone in the real estate industry will definitely go crazy for this!’They were all in the same business, so they naturally knew just how important the map is.Cou
“It’s just that…”Franklin showed an odd expression while looking at the paper.“The most important part of the place is stained with tea. I can’t see it properly…”“This must be the historic site of the Golden Garden.”“Without the markings, we won’t be able to find anything to prove that this place is real.”After hearing Franklin’s regretful words, the higher-ups looked at the beautiful CEO with disappointment.“I’ll…I’ll give Sir York a call…”Lola lowered her head awkwardly.…Early in the morning the next day, Harvey got a call from Saul and Lola while he was supervising Fortune Hall’s renovation. They invited him to have lunch together, saying that there was something important they needed to talk to him about.Harvey didn’t decline since he figured that it was about Golden Estate. After passing on the matters to Reece, he got ready to leave.Before he could step out of the front door, Castiel ran to him with a panicked look.“This is bad, Master! Someone passed out!
“Running around graveyards?”The man looked confused.“I like to take walks, sure, but I’ll just go around parks at most. I’ve never been to a graveyard before!”“Us elderly people are most afraid of that!”Harvey couldn’t wrap his head around the situation.‘He’s never been to a graveyard?’“Did you pick up money on the road with a note inside, saying that a few years of your lifespan is being borrowed, or something of the sort?”The man thought about it momentarily before shaking his head lightly.Harvey took a few glances at the man, but couldn’t see anything else since the evil energy in him had dissipated.“You must’ve been hit by evil energy somewhere…” Harvey reasoned. “In any case, just be careful. Judging from your physique, you shouldn’t go outside unless there’s sun out.”The elderly man and woman showered Harvey with immense gratitude before leaving a fifteen-dollar bill and stepping outside.Harvey shook his head and dealt with the rest of the customers.It was
Lola Hoffman kept nodding after hearing Harvey York’s words.She wanted to take the land in secret…But after hearing his suggestion, she thought he had the right idea.The competitors would probably start fighting for the land if they tried to buy off the land secretly…But if they did it publicly, everyone would only think that Golden Estate was making every move they could just to go against Ronnie Lee.Under such circumstances, they would be able to get the land at the lowest price possible.More importantly, the stunt would draw attention.Gratitude was clearly showing in Lola’s eyes.She thought that Harvey would actually get mad after what had happened…But she did not expect that he had already planned ahead for her.Voom voom voom!After having a nice chat, dishes were served on the table.Right when everyone was halfway through the meal, Saul Robbin’s phone suddenly vibrated.After quickly picking up the phone, he promptly reported his location.“An important pe
Watson Braff showed an understanding look on his face.“I see that your father’s still that stubborn.“He wanted me to introduce to you a few doctors as well!“A shame that everyone I got was all the people you’ve already met before.”Naturally, Watson had quite a good relationship with the Robbins family for doing something like this.Lola Hoffman gave Watson a cup of tea with a smile on her face.“You’re too kind, Watson.”After sitting down, Watson sized up the couple before showing a faint smile.“That said, you must’ve dealt with the problem now that you’re here having tea, right?”“Hahaha! Sure did!“You have a keen eye, as usual, Director Braff!“Our problem’s solved all thanks to Sir York here!Saul Robbins quickly changed the subject.“Let me introduce you!” said Saul with a smile.“This is my good brother and my savior! He’s also a geomancy expert, Harvey York!“He was also the one who solved our problem.Then, Saul smiled at Harvey.“This is the first-in-com
Saul Robbins could not tell what Watson Braff was trying to imply.“No need to hold back! We’re all friends here!“Please, Sir York!“He’s just being a little prideful, is all!”Watson helplessly accepted Harvey York’s help for Saul’s sake.“Fine. Please take a look at me then.”Harvey already felt dead air seeping out of Watson’s body when the two made contact.What is dead air?Simply put, a person would be filled with gloom when their luck gets extremely bad despite being healthy.Dead air would normally show on elderly people on the verge of death…But the people who are destined to die would have the same look.Typically speaking, dead air was a sign of a person’s imminent death.If it were not for Watson’s high position in the government balancing the dead air inside him, he would have been dead a while ago.That said, Watson’s life was only temporarily preserved.He would not be able to survive for long if the dead air inside him got stronger.While Harvey was loo
