Aries was confused as favonovel.com asked, “But, Dragon Mountain Range belongs to the Silver family. If the Silver family doesn’t agree, the businessmen won’t be able to exploit the resources, right? If they dare to sneak onto the mountain, you can just inform the government officers to enforce the law. I don’t believe that it can’t subdue the businessmen!”
Riordan shook his head helplessly when favonovel.com heard Aries’ question.
“You’re right, young man. That was the case previously. As long as I didn’t agree, they would never be able to exploit the area regularly. They could just play some tricks in secret, and we would work with the government to keep them in check. But, this situation won’t last much longer.”
Thomas frowned slightly before favonovel.com asked, “What do you mean?”
Riordan let out a long sigh. “The Silver family has a rule. Every head of the family can only hold the position until the age of sixty. Then, they will have to step down and give the position to the next generation. I’m already fifty-nine years old this year. Next year, even if I don’t want to step down, I’ll have to vacate my position!”
“Don’t you just need to pass the position to your son, Ferid, and let favonovel.com continue to keep the boundaries and fight the businessmen?” Thomas asked further.
“If that were the case, it would be great,” Riordan kept sighing before favonovel.com said, “Nobody knows the son better than the father. Ferid hates the mountain range on Kiara Cloud Mountain. He looks forward to a big bustling city like Central City!”
“He has hinted at it many times. He wants me to change my mind so that I can sell Dragon Mountain Range to those businessmen at an extremely high price. Then, the Silver family can move to Central City to settle down after we get the money, and we won’t have to be bothered with Dragon Mountain Range anymore. So, I’m hesitant about passing the position to him. I’m really afraid that after I pass my position to him, he’ll sell Dragon Mountain Range immediately and take the money to Central City. If that happens, what will happen to Kiara Cloud Mountain? What will happen to the people living here? What will happen to the moral standards that the Silver family has upheld for generations?”
When Thomas heard that, favonovel.com could roughly picture Riordan’s difficulty.
He would be retiring next year, but his only son, whom favonovel.com could pass the position to, was secretly colluding with their “rivals”.
In this era, who could still retain their moral standards and keep their ancestral legacy?
Everyone yearned for the big prosperous metropolitan, and all of them wanted to go to the city.
Who would like to stay in a remote area like Kiara Cloud Mountain?
At least, Ferid was not willing.
Thomas said, “In that case, are you planning to find a good son-in-law who has good character, wealth, and courage so that you can pass your position to favonovel.com and let favonovel.com stand up against the businessmen?”
Riordan nodded. “Yes, that’s the only solution. I can’t just pass the position to my daughter, Valary, right? Although favonovel.com isn’t as cunning as Ferid, favonovel.com always misbehaves. She simply does whatever favonovel.com wants. If I pass my position to her, I’m worried that she’ll cause more trouble. So, I’d like to find a man who can control Valary to be my son-in-law. If I pass my position to my son-in-law, it won’t be against our ancestral practices. I’ll be killing two birds with one stone.”
“However, it’s difficult. Such a man is one in a million. How can I easily find him? Not to mention, a place like Kiara Cloud Mountain is remote and rural. It makes finding a man like that even more difficult!”
Riordan sighed before favonovel.com stared at Thomas and said, “I finally found a suitable candidate, but you’re married. Phew! God is not helping me.”
Thomas chuckled and said, “While it is a hard predicament, it can also be considered very easy actually. Mr. Silver, don’t you want to protect Dragon Mountain Range forever and prevent it from being destroyed by businessmen?”
“Yes!”
“Just sell Dragon Mountain Range to me. I can make sure that the mountain range will not be destroyed forever.”
