Chapter 5513
The land department spent three months trying to get the deal, but now, the contract was sent straight to the government without any effort.
At this point, Kairi’s authority was completely solidified. The position of second-in-command was hers without question.
After dealing with the relocation project and Chanse…
Kairi was officially working.
The departments she was in charge of were finally reporting to her. She was getting into the groove of her work, too.
Harvey had no intention of getting involved; he was only sipping tea in the guest room.
He stood up, ready to leave when he was finally done with his tea. He was excited to see just how Damon’s inauguration ceremony was going to go.
The man had been suffering losses constantly.
The John family wouldn’t just take all the humiliation without fighting back, either.
At dusk, Harvey decided to call a cab back to the Fortune Hall after seeing Kairi still working.
As soon as he got out of the car, a figure came out of the shadows and approached him.
“Hello. You’re Mr. York, right?”
A beautiful woman in a robe, holding an umbrella, came forward. Her face didn’t show her age at all. She was almost five- foot-six, with alluring shoulders and a flat chest.
Harvey nodded, studying her. “That’s right. And you are?”
The woman smiled. “My name is Aleah Kennedy. Of course, you may also address me as Your Holiness.”
“Your Holiness?” Harvey’s gaze darkened. “You’re from Evermore?”
Aleah replied with a faint smile.
“What an interesting man. Others would desperately try to avoid us by playing dumb… And yet, you immediately called me out. Is it because you’re too stupid? Or are you simply too prideful?”
Harvey shrugged. “Take a guess.”
Aleah put her umbrella down. She narrowed her eyes, still smiling.
“With your talent, it’s only natural that a young expert like you would behave this confidently. You think there’s nobody better than you. It’s a shame Evermore’s not as simple as you think.”
“Is that so? Should Evermore get an award for that? You people should let others know that you’re tough somehow,” Harvey retorted.
Aleah sighed.
“There’s no point in angering me like this, Mr. York. Besides, I came to make a deal. You better know what’s good for yourself.”
“A deal?” Harvey frowned. “I don’t think there’s anything to talk about between us.”
“There is.”
Aleah smiled.
“With your status and identity, it’d be extremely easy for you to get the map out of the six Hermit Families.”
Harvey smiled. “Even if I did, what makes you think that I’d hand it over so easily?”
Aleah waved her umbrella; a huge gust of wind knocked down the doors of the Fortune Hall to the ground.
“You live if you hand the map over. You die if you don’t. I’ll give you three days. Do not disappoint me.”
Aleah then turned around and left.
