The mountain hosting the gold mining company was known as Swarm Mountain.
At the base of the mine, there was a checkpoint guarded by many people, ensuring that no unauthorized individuals could
enter.
Gilmore noticed that the guards at the mountain pass were indeed from Eldoria, all of them warriors.
This was somewhat unexpected for Gilmore.
The dozen or so Eldoria warriors guarding the pass were also surprised to see Gilmore.
The lead warrior greeted Gilmore with a smile, “Hey, buddy, are you from Eldoria?”
Gilmore nodded and said, “Yes, we are.” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
The warrior asked, “May I know which part of Eldoria you’re from, brother?”
“I was originally from Vane,” Gilmore replied, “but I’ve been roaming all over Eldoria. Now, I consider the whole world my home.”
A friendly smile appeared on the warrior’s face when he heard his reply. “I’m from Oakhaven myself and have traveled around back home before coming to Glace.
I’m Jaey, how should I address you?”
“I’m Gilmore,” he responded.
Hearing the name Gilmore, Jaey, the warrior, couldn’t help but pause.
He was all too familiar with that name.
So, he couldn’t resist asking, “Brother, you say your name is Gilmore. The major shareholder of the Davis Group is also
named Gilmore.
“Could it be that you are…”
Upon hearing this, Gilmore was also taken aback.
Could it be that this gold mining company situated in the Sacred Mountains of Glace was related to the Davis Group?
Oh, right! He had indeed invested tens of billions in the Davis Group of the Davis family, which was a major shareholder.
Although he had invested billions, he didn’t take part directly in the gold mining company’s operations.
Yet, every month, he received a substantial profit from the Davis Group.
It could be said that the profits he had received from the Davis Group had exceeded the cost of the tens of billions he had invested in it.
Considering the immense wealth that Gilmore indirectly controlled through the Dragon Sect, the Davis Group was just small potatoes in his financial empire.
He’d almost forgotten about it.
It was quite a surprise to stumble upon the gold mining operations he’d invested in while visiting Glace, especially here in
the Sacred Mountains.
He really didn’t expect it..

However, he didn’t want to reveal his identity to Jaey. So he calmly replied, “Mr. Jetpuria, I’m not your boss. I just happen to share the same name as him, that’s all.”
Hearing Gilmore’s words, Jaey and the other warriors relaxed.
Indeed, how could this young man, barely in his 20s, be their boss?
Although Jaey and his companions knew their employer was named Gilmore, they’d never met him.
Plus, if their real boss were to visit, they wouldn’t be in the dark about it.
So, they all assumed that the Gilmore in front of them now was simply a guy with the same name as their employer.
Jaey said with a smile, “Brother, even though you’re not our boss and just have the same name as him, we share the bond of being from Eldoria.
“You’re welcome here.”
Jaey then turned to the other warriors and said, “Keep an eye on things. I’m going to take Gilmore and his friends up to the company for a visit.”
It was rare for him to meet his compatriots in a foreign country, so Jaey was very enthusiastic.
And Gilmore wanted to see how the gold mining company was doing.
He said to Jaey, “Mr. Jetpuria, I appreciate your kindness. I just hope us heading up the mountain doesn’t go against any company rules.”
Jaey slapped his chest nonchalantly and declared, “What we don’t welcome here the most are those troublemaking folks from Glace.
“But people from Eldoria, they are our own, and we welcome them with
open arms.”
However, as he said this, he noticed Alice, the female guide from Glace, among Gilmore’s group.
He lowered his voice to say to Gilmore, “Brother, this woman from Glace can’t go up there, or the company will punish me.
Although his voice was very low, Alice could still hear him.
“I never said I wanted to go up to your mine,” she told him.
Jaey laughed and said, “That’s even better; saves me the trouble.”
Then, he led Gilmore and his companions towards the mine.
The mining company had its building at the peak of Swarm Mountain.
Jaey brought Gilmore and his companions to a spacious office inside the factory building.
In the office was a middle–aged man in a suit and tie.
“Mr. Reed, this is Mr. Pete Zellweger, the manager of our Glace branch,” Jaey introduced the man to Gilmore and his friends.
Gilmore stepped forward and greeted him. “Hello, Mr. Zellweger!”
Mr. Zellweger also stood up from his office chair with a smile and reached out his hand to Gilmore, saying, “Mr. Reed, where
you hail from?”

Standing next to Mr. Zellweger, Jaey said to him, “Sir, Mr. Reed and his friends are on a tour of Glace. They happened to come to the Sacred Mountains and are all from Eldoria, so I invited them
here for a chat.”
Mr. Zellweger nodded. “I see.”
Then, he said to Gilmore, “Please take a seat, Mr. Reed and friends.”
As he spoke, he gestured to the sofas in his office.
Gilmore, Lilian, Claire, Christine, and the others subsequently sat down.
“Jaey, make some coffee for our friends from Eldoria,” said Pete.
Jaey nodded and went to get some cups ready.
Then he served Gilmore, Lilian, and the others cups of coffee.
Afterward, Pete asked Gilmore, “How long do you plan to stay in Glace, Mr. Reed?”
Gilmore replied, “It depends. If we find it enjoyable, we might stay for a month or a few weeks. If not, we could leave in a few days.”
Nodding, Mr. Zellweger responded, “That’s fair, Mr. Reed. But, truth be told, Glace can’t quite compete with the fun back in Eldoria.”
“Mr/Zellweger, the Davis Group is a famous gold mining company in Oakhaven. Why did they invest in Glace?” Gilmore immediately asked.
Mr. Zellweger replied, “Well, it’s not easy to invest in Glace because it’s not as convenient as in Eldoria.
“However, there’s a significant gold reserve around Swarm Mountain, which is why we’re here.”
“I heard from my guide that despite your investment here, many people in Glace still want to contest the mining rights. What’s all that about?” Gilmore asked.
Mr. Zellweger smiled lightly. “You see, when we first invested here, no one knew about the massive gold reserve.
“We took a big risk, and the Glace conglomerates thought we were fools.
“But when we struck gold, those same people turned green with envy, trying every trick in the book to wrestle the mining rights from us.
“But they’re just barking dogs. We have the official permit. They can’t take that away from us.”
Gilmore nodded and said, “It seems those Glace conglomerates are envious of such a large gold mine in your hands.
“I noticed Mr. Jetpuria and others guarding the road below the mine. Do these conglomerates still cause you any trouble?”
Mr. Zellweger gave a cold smile and said, “Indeed, they do. Unable to legally vie for our rights, they resort to underhanded
tactics.
“But we’re not worried. Mr. Harrison Davis has specifically sent a team of warriors from Eldoria to protect the company.”
