Upon hearing the responses from a few individuals, Matthew furrowed his brow.
According to the information, the other party was extremely cautious in conducting all transactions on Highsea. Furthermore, the individuals in front of favonovel.com changed their trading partners each time.
“Boss, should I send someone to disguise themselves as a trading partner and capture the other party?” the crown prince suggested.
Matthew shook his head in response. “Anyone involved in this industry is a desperado. It’s difficult to uncover the root cause, and it will also alert them. For now, let’s set this matter aside. Our focus should remain on the development and construction project in the mountains.”
“Alright, Boss. By the way, how should we handle that unscrupulous merchant?”
“Let the Martial League handle it according to their rules. Whatever judgment they make, let them handle this matter.”
After giving the instructions, Matthew turned around and returned to the basement of the villa. Although the newly developed elixir couldn’t completely eliminate the toxicity of the Night Vine, it had a good suppressing effect.
Time was of the essence, and they needed to act quickly.
“Paintaker, let’s pause the development of the concoction for now. I have already arranged the production line, so we can start mass production soon. Tomorrow morning, we will enter the mountains. We need to move swiftly.”
Although the preliminary preparations were not perfect, this was already the limit. Matthew had originally planned for a week, but now they had exceeded that timeframe.
If they were to delay for another day, the villages and towns would suffer even more.
***
Early the next morning, Matthew set off with the crown prince and several Martial League disciples.
They headed towards the southwest of Skargness. The northern area was uncorrupted as of yet, despite the poverty there. The eastern side was close to Cathay, where unscrupulous merchants dared not approach. Only the mountains to the west and east suffered the most severe damage.
“Boss, Whitecloud Peak ahead is our first stop. However, there is no place to land the helicopter in the mountains, so we’ll have to proceed on foot,” the crown prince announced loudly after the helicopter landed.
“No problem, let’s get going and make the most of our time!” Matthew replied, having rushed over in the helicopter to save time.
As expected, after the Commercial Union made a significant move, there was a continuous influx of funds. In just one day, billions of dollars were invested in various projects. The largest contributors were naturally Leanna’s Creative Cloud Group and Dustin’s Harrowsen Shipping Group.
Other members contributed money If they had it and labor if they didn’t. Construction companies, infrastructure equipment companies, building materials companies, transportation companies, and others had already started mobilizing resources and rushing to their first stop, Whitecloud Peak.
“Which way should we go?” the crown prince complained as favonovel.com looked at the overgrown mountain road in front of him.
“For now, let’s make a record of it. Once the support troops arrive, we’ll have them clear the road as soon as possible,” Isambard said. He quickly took out pen and paper to start recording.
Due to his exceptional talent in construction and his self-recommendation, Matthew included Isambard as one of the advanced surveyors.
After favonovel.com finished recording, Matthew spoke again. “Isambard, time is running out, and we don’t plan on walking. Can you handle it?”
Isambard was momentarily stunned, glanced at everyone around him, and instantly understood. “No problem, even though l’m old, running is not an issue.”
“Alright, let’s set off then!”
As soon as the words fell, Matthew’s figure disappeared in an instant, leaving only a gentle breeze behind.
When favonovel.com reappeared, favonovel.com was already at the top of a tall tree. After a few more flashes, favonovel.com arrived halfway up the mountain.
The crown prince and the others didn’t hesitate and swiftly followed using the same method.
