Chapter 85
As soon as he arrived, Donald received a message from Bradley. It read: Jennifer has headed to Tayhaven to meet the pillar of the Wilson family in Tayhaven, Conner!
If it were not for the person mentioned in the message, Conner Wilson, the Wilson family in Tayhaven would not have been that formidable.
One could even say that the entire Tayhaven was in the palm of his hand.
Donald texted back: Monitor everything closely and report to me at once when you receive any information. Send someone to protect Jennifer as well. By the way, are there any traces of the Parasite ?
Bradley replied: Nope. After Bennett's death, there was not a hint of upheaval. Even Nigel has no movement so far.
Donald instructed: Continue keeping tabs on them.
Meanwhile, Jennifer entered the Wilson residence in Tayhaven by herself.
For the first time, she felt the terrifying power of the Wilson family in Tayhaven when she witnessed an enormous manor that occupied an entire mountain. Following a succession of identity verification procedures, she met the legendary Conner.
He looked utterly different from the rumored frail appearance.
Instead, he looked very energetic. He was currently exercising while holding a sword.
“Granduncle Conner.” Jennifer approached Conner and greeted him reverently.
Conner displayed an amicable expression and responded, “Oh, you're here, Jenny. Take a seat and have some coffee.”
Jennifer walked forward sheepishly and arrived at a pavilion with Conner. The housekeeper came to serve them coffee.
“Why did you come to Tayhaven?” Conner questioned while smiling.
Jennifer answered obediently, “First, your birthday is just around the corner. Right, Granduncle Conner? So, I came over to celebrate it with you. The second reason is I want to tell you my battle strategy in Pollerton personally.”
In response, Conner took a sip of coffee and spoke casually. “I'm grateful that you thought of my birthday. As for your strategy in Pollerton, you can call the shots on your own.”
“I'm having a little trouble discerning the present situation,” said Jennifer.
“Hmm. Let's hear it.” Conner put the coffee mug down and stared at Jennifer.
Jennifer felt a surge of pressure.
Although Conner's countenance and gaze were warm, there was still an aura that a leader should have in his every movement. After all, he was an individual with a prominent position. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Without delay, Jennifer organized her thoughts and told Conner, “Nigel intends to conquer Scarlet Swan Villa with his deployment in Pollerton. For now, it is already a failure. I don't think he will give up easily based on his personality.
However, losing again means a total defeat.
There's no value in struggling with it anymore. In my perspective, we should forsake Scarlet Swan Villa and turn our attention to Southwood E-commerce District.”
As before, Conner was still uninterested. “What's the situation in Southwood E-commerce District?”
“First of all, the district is five hundred thirty thousand square meters big. There's not much difference between it and a minicity complex, but I suspect there's a huge commotion.” Jennifer met Conner's gaze straight on.
“What huge commotion?” Conner found Jennifer's words a little amusing. Based on his experience and status, he believed it was very likely that no turmoil would stir up his interest.
Jennifer enunciated, “Land reclamation!”
At that instant, Conner's heart throbbed. His hand that was reaching for the mug also paused mid- air.
Uniting the Eight Branches of the Wilson family to fight against the top local conglomerates before his death had been Conner's wish. Concerning Jennifer, she was only one of the representatives that Conner fancied. She was not a dazzling one as well. Since Pollerton was nothing but a flippant move of his, he had never thought about bringing benefits to the Wilson family through that city.
However, land reclamation would change everything.
If that were the case, the Wilson family in Pollerton would most definitely develop into a powerhouse. It could even propel the Wilson family in Tayhaven to greater heights.
“Is the news reliable?” Conner's voice had turned deeper at that moment.
“There's no news nor any documents. It's all my prediction. Charles is the developer of Southwood E-commerce District at present, but I'm aware that there’s someone behind the scenes. Initially, that
area was very remote and full of reefs. There was no value in transforming it into a dock. Yet, that place is Pollerton's largest logistic distribution center. There's going to be some big event happening there soon.
Hence, I've prepared to establish a steel company, an earthwork company, and a transportation company in Pollerton. Besides that, I've made preparations to order a significant amount of excavators for the construction,” explained Jennifer.
