“Nothing happened.”

Alexander shook his head slowly, then spoke earnestly, “I made that jerk Trevor Aarison, your boss,
suffer for
his actions. But remember: You mustn’t continue to be wilful in the future!”
Coral’s sheepish expression eased off, and she bit her lip. “Alexander, when you say being wilful, do
you
mean…”
“In any aspect!” Alexander’s face turned stern, and he emphasized, “Coral, do you know how worried
Amber
was when you went to Walganus Capital for an internship without telling anyone?”
Coral shrunk into her cup, and a layer of mist slowly appeared in her big eyes.
‘Alexander, am I just a selfish child in your eyes?’
“Enough.” Alexander’s tone softened slightly after his stern warning. “Now, come back with me to Ol’
Mare. Let Amber arrange an internship position for you within the group, at least to ensure your safety.”
Having said that, he immediately turned and walked toward the door of the guest room.
Ol’ Mare.
Ever since taking over the Yablon family’s industries, New Chesire Group officially entered Province
Town. With Mister Hardy publicly expressing support, all underground forces in Woolpackton kept quiet,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtand the group’s development proceeded unusually smoothly.
“Is what you’re saying true?”
At this moment, in the office building of New Chesire Group, Amber sat behind her desk, looking at the
production manager and the old white-haired expert in front of her. She frowned slightly as she said,
“Are we short of raw materials for Life One?”
The production manager shook his head with a bitter smile.
If it were the previous Chesire Group, with only the Ol’ Mare Development Zone Industrial Park, the
supply of raw materials would be more than sufficient. However, with the group’s development being
too rapid, workers and production workshops were easy to solve, but raw materials became the biggest
problem.
“Miss Chesire.” The old expert adjusted his reading glasses on the bridge of his nose as he frowned.
“The most important raw material for our group’s Life One is a medicinal herb called Tigerbite Grass,
and its domestic production is very limited.
“If we are to completely resolve the raw material issue, we must establish our own medicinal herb base.
Sustainable development can only be achieved through self-production and self-use.”
Amber pondered for a moment and nodded slowly. “Professor Chase, as per your suggestion, let’s
invest in building the medicinal herb base.”

The growth environment for the Tigerbite Grass herb was rather demanding, and there was no suitable
location throughout Tormora. Professor Chase took out a prepared plan and handed it to Amber,
saying, “Miss Chesire, take a look.”
The plan not only marked several domestic regions suitable for growing Tigerbite Herb but also
detailed the required cultivation area and investment amounts, covering all aspects.
“Yarrowfell, Larkspur County…” Amber looked at the marked map on the plan, and her eyes gradually
brightened. “It’s decided, then. We’ll build the base in Larkspur County!”
Professor Chase and the production manager nodded and turned to open the office door.
“Amber.”
Outside the door, Alexander and Coral happened to walk to the office entrance, nodding to Professor
Chase and the production manager before walking to Amber’s desk.
Alexander smiled and said, “Coral has returned, and she didn’t let you down!”
“Coral!” Amber’s face lit up with joy, standing up and quickly approaching. “What did you…”
Coral’s eyes were slightly red, letting Amber pull her hand without saying a word.
“We’ve sorted out Coral’s internship arrangement,” Alexander said, smiling as he took a step forward.
“What did Mister Thomson and Professor Chase come for just now?”
Amber released Coral and handed the plan on the desk to Alexander, explaining the matter of building
the medicinal herb production base. Then, she frowned slightly. “I’m not very familiar with the situation
there. Alexander, can you accompany me?”
Alexander did not hesitate at all. “Sure.”
The next day, over 800 kilometers away from Ol’ Mare, in Yarrowfell Province’s Larkspur County.
In the western suburbs of Larkspur County’s development zone, a vast area of about 200 acres lay
desolate, overgrown with weeds everywhere.
At this moment, there was a middle-aged man sporting a hefty gold chain with a cigar dangling from his
mouth. He sat in the back seat of a Stretch Lincoln Limousine, gazing at the distant barren land. With a
sly grin, he remarked, “Maria, how do you like this piece of land?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHis secretary, Maria, swaying her willow-like waist, approached Mister Perry and giggled. “This piece of
land is excellent, of course. The finances have all been worked out. If we build a high-end residential
area here, we can make at least a billion in revenue. However, other construction companies in the
county have their eyes on this piece of land, too.”
Mister Perry took a puff of his cigar, casually tossed it out the car window, and spat. “In this tiny place
like Larkspur County, who dares to snatch land from me? I…”
He trailed off.

Behind him, a black-clad bodyguard swiftly approached, holding a mobile phone. “Mister Perry, it’s a
call from
the business department,” he whispered.
“The business department?” Mister Perry raised an eyebrow and took the phone from the bodyguard,
grumbling. “Speak quickly. Let out what you have to say, and don’t bother me with trivial matters all the
time!”
On the other end of the line, a cautiously trembling male voice spoke, “M-Mister Perry, we just received
news from Ol’ Mare, Tormora. The general manager of New Chesire Group, Amber, intends to build a
medicinal herb base on the piece of land you’re interested in. They’re currently finalizing the land
acquisition contract.”
“What the hell?” Mister Perry erupted in fury. “New Chesire Group? Who do they think they are, daring
to snatch the land I, Frank Perry, have set my eyes on? Ooh, they’re going to get it from me!”
After angrily hanging up the phone, he waved his hand forcefully. “Follow me!”
Roaring engines echoed as a convoy of six Audi A6s trailed behind Frank’s Stretch Lincoln Limousine,
