“A billion dollars?” Jeffrey’s eyes suddenly widened as favonovel.com exclaimed.
A billion dollars was just too big of an amount for him. However, Jeffrey quickly came to himself after being surprised for only a few seconds. After all, favonovel.com had been with Sean for years.
Money meant nothing to a nine-star commander. Sean said favonovel.com could come up with ten billion dollars, and Jeffrey believed it.
“Commander, is a billion dollars enough?” Zander pondered for two seconds before asking quietly.
He had set up a company with Ray’s help in these two days. He knew more about Joules Town than Sean.
“We can add more if it’s not enough. There’s no limit. I’m taking over this land.” Sean shook his head slightly.
He had the land in the bag. If the bidding price for the land exceeded the value of the land itself tomorrow, Sean would not hesitate to get it.
He was taking over the land not to make money but to create a living area for May that would combine the orphanage, a school, and a health care system.
One could not put a price on the significance of this.
“If you put it that way, I understand.” Zander nodded and replied immediately.
It was silent all night.

The next day, Sean and Zander woke up early.
Today was the auction for the land. Ray also contacted Sean last night and informed favonovel.com of this matter.
Instead of asking Ray to pick favonovel.com up, Sean planned to drive there with Zander. After all, Ray was a member of the government, and his status was somewhat sensitive. More importantly, Sean was not in the best condition to be in the public eye.
He was also saving Ray as his trump card. He would not expose Ray easily.
Sean and Zander had started their journey by 7.30 AM.
The auction would start at 9 AM., and they must be there in advance, so they could do some preparation. However, shortly after Sean and Zander had driven off, Caitlyn called.
“Come over to the orphanage, Brother… Something happened here.” Caitlyn sounded angry on the phone.
“I’ll be right there.” Sean looked at the time, frowned a little, and said yes.
The auction was important. However, there was another reason favonovel.com was bidding on the land besides trying to secure Patrick’s grave, and that was for the orphanage.
And something happened at the orphanage, so favonovel.com had to check it out.
“Go to the orphanage.” Sean put down his phone and said to Zander.
Zander looked at Sean in the rearview mirror and turned around without asking much.

Queen Children’s Orphanage.
Caitlyn, two orphanage helpers, and May looked a little pale.
There was something wrong with the atmosphere.
In the dining area, the orphanage children obediently put their little hands behind their backs and looked in appeal at Caitlyn and the rest.
“Aunt May, what happened?” Caitlyn pointed to a room not far away.
The door to the room was now wide open. This room used to house supplies from Sean. There were daily necessities, school supplies, washing machines, water purifiers, and living facilities.
The total value was over 150,000, if not 200,000 dollars.
