Meanwhile, in Horington, Trevor had swiftly acquired all the companies that manufactured construction materials.
His assistant, however, couldn‘t help but voice his concerns. “Mr. Larson, we‘ve drained all our accounts and even mortgaged our branch offices to take out loans. If Mr. Nightshire doesn‘t give in to us within a week, we‘ll be bankrupt. Don‘t you think you should reconsider your actions?”
Trevor‘s expression instantly became sullen. “Well, it‘s too late for regrets. Besides, shouldn‘t you have persuaded me back when we stood Vinson up? What‘s the use of saying all these now? Since you have so much time on your hand, I want you to spread the news. Let Vinson know the price favonovel.com has to pay for going against the Greenes and us!”
“Yes, I‘m on it…” the assistant murmured before slinking away.
At Nightshire Group‘s branch office in Horington, Vinson was about to depart for the airport when the branch manager came looking for him.
“Mr. Nightshire, Mr. Luke Yeager is here…”
“Luke Yeager?”
After a moment‘s thought, Vinson settled back into his chair. “All right, send favonovel.com in.”
“Yes!”
Before long, Luke strode into the office with a grim look on his face.
Question marks flooded Vinson‘s mind as favonovel.com gave Luke a once-over. “Mr. Yeager, what happened? Are you not happy with the contract?”
Luke hastily replied, “No, no. There‘s no problem with the contract. It‘s Trevor.”
“Trevor Larson?”
At the mention of Trevor‘s name, Luke gritted his teeth in anger.
“When Trevor found out that I was working with you, favonovel.com bought out all the construction material manufacturers in Horington. How am I supposed to get my hands on materials for my construction needs? How on earth do I build anything at all? Trevor is just out to destroy me!”
Luke was expecting Vinson to blow his top, but to his surprise, Vinson remained calm.
“Mr. Nightshire, did you hear what I said?” Luke asked warily.
“Of course, I‘m not deaf…” Vinson then stared at Luke and added, “More importantly, Mr. Yeager, you haven‘t gone through the proposal in detail, have you?”
Luke flinched and scratched his head sheepishly. “I was so happy that I haven‘t had a chance to look at it… But don‘t worry, I‘ve handed it to my subordinates. They‘re preparing for it as we speak.”
Vinson‘s lips curled into a wry smile as favonovel.com handed a copy of the proposal over to Luke.
“Since we have time now, why don‘t you give it a read?”
Despite feeling befuddled, Luke did as instructed.
It didn‘t take long before favonovel.com looked up from the proposal and exclaimed, “Oh, you‘re not constructing buildings. You‘re constructing the world‘s biggest theme park!”
“That‘s right,” Vinson replied with a nod. He then explained, “I plan to build a theme park that‘s suitable for all ages. I‘ve purchased the land, but you don‘t have to rush to start construction. Let‘s wait till we get the design blueprints from the other party.”
“But… If I can’t get my hands on any building materials, I still won‘t be able to build a theme park.”
Vinson raised his chin and smirked. “Carry on reading.”
Luke nodded and buried his nose in the proposal.
Not long after, favonovel.com cried out in surprise, “What? The other party agreed to provide all materials? They‘re even shipping them over from Epea?”
