Very soon, the plane arrived at Kun City, the capital of Yunnan Province. Looking at the sun-soaked sky, Peter also felt his blood surge with excitement. Indeed, the air quality here was exceptional, teeming with vitality and splendor everywhere.
What rendered Peter speechless was seeing the three girls interacting like close pals, engaging in their private murmurs.
This female camaraderie really baffles me!
Seeing the two bosses engrossed in their own banter, Peter felt like a singleton.
Shrugging, Peter decided to follow suit, occasionally looking around.
At the exit, Peter quickly spotted two burly foreigners in sunglasses waiting.
The moment they noticed Emery Robertson, their scrutiny fell onto Peter and his group.
"My people are here."
Emery flashed a smile at Peter’s group, then said, "We regroup tomorrow. I’ll reach out to you."
A smile appeared on Maisy’s face as she responded, "Sure, we’ll be in touch."
Protected by the two foreigners, Emery left their company.
Peter paid attention and noted that the two foreigners possessed the prowess of military experts, rather than cultivators.
Looking at their demeanor, Callum whispered, "See that? That beauty isn’t just an ordinary person. She’s got bodyguards with her from Russia. She’s not simple."
Ella then glanced at Peter and asked, "Peter, you chatted with her for a while. Do you know what her deal is?"
"Nope, all I know is she’s here for gemstone gambling," Peter replied.
Maroon nodded and said, "Makes sense. Everyone attending gemstone gambling has deep pockets!"
Peter chuckled, "You’re talking about yourself, aren’t you?"
Everyone broke into laughter.
Maisy then said, "Alright, we’ll wait for someone here today. Once we gather everyone tomorrow, we’ll set out for Rui City."
They all checked into a five-star hotel that had been booked in advance.
Peter had a room to himself.
After taking a shower, he checked his cell phone and found several missed calls coming in.
Unexpectedly, there was a call from Mr. Prentice.
After some contemplation, Peter decided to answer Mr. Prentice’s call.
"Peter, our Thompson Family owes you an apology."
Mr. Prentice started awkwardly. Hearing this, Peter sighed internally. Mr. Prentice was actually a good guy, just siding with the Thompson Family to secure his position. It was understandable.
"Mr. Prentice, it’s okay, I understand how you feel."
"Oh, Peter. I won’t forget that you saved our lives. You’ve done a lot for the Thompson Family. If you’re willing, I’m still your Mr. Prentice."
"Mr. Prentice, why say such things? You will always be my Mr. Prentice."
Both of them dared not bring up the events related to Edward. Both knew well that with the Thompson Family’s Soul Condensation Technique, Edward might reincarnate using another body, hence voiding the vengeance for his death.
After some more chitchat, they hung up. Reflecting on this, Peter gained more insight about human interactions.
Afterwards, Peter dialed his father, Raven Walter’s, number.
As soon as Raven picked up the phone, he exclaimed, "Peter, as you suggested, we’ve contracted ten thousand acres of land in Old Well Village and a few other villages. We are currently remodeling the territory. I just want to ask, when can we start growing herbal plants?"
"There’s no rush for that. I’m in Yunnan Province at the moment handling some business. I’ll look into it once I get back. Have you guys returned?"
Peter remembered that his father and his team were doing an expedition in the Southland.
Laughing, Raven replied, "The women are still on their expedition. I rushed back. I’m currently discussing the contract. Business waits for no one!"
Peter laughed, realizing that his father had likely been stirred by the development of some enterprises in the Southland and was now keen to get their own factory up and running swiftly.
After a bit of friendly banter with Raven, Peter didn’t attempt to return the other calls.
After some deliberation, Peter was pleased to hear about his father contracting several pieces of land in the village. If done properly, it has the potential to guide numerous villagers towards prosperity. That would be a commendable achievement.
The one thing they were currently missing was jadeite!
Thinking about the several formations he had to arrange, Peter began feeling a bit overwhelmed. Without jadeite, nothing could be initiated.
Pondering his situation, his room phone rang. It was Maisy inviting Peter out for shopping. When he tried to decline, Maisy threatened, "Peter, this is an order from your homeroom teacher. Dare to disagree, and you’ll lose your credits!"
Peter chuckled and replied, "Alright, I’ll accompany you guys."
"Why do you sound so reluctant to accompany your beautiful head teacher shopping?"
Peter overheard the two ladies’ laughing on the other end.
This beautiful head teacher!
Peter found that Ella was far from the strict persona she projected at school, seeming much more liberated now.
Peter was still curious about how this beautiful head teacher became so close to a prominent businesswoman like Maisy.
However, everyone has their secrets. So, Peter didn’t pay it much heed.
Arriving at Maiys’s room and ringing the doorbell, the door opened, revealing a fragrant waft of air.
Ella, fresh out of the shower, wearing a skirt, and long stockings, greeted Peter at the entrance. Her slender legs were fully visible.
Walking inside, Peter noted that Maisy, too, was in a skirt – a very short one. Her hair was still wet; the room wafted with her fragrance.
After observing the two beauties, Peter glanced down at his own plain attire and chuckled bitterly, "Beautiful ladies, I’m afraid my outfit is utterly mismatched with yours; it might cause trouble later."
Noticing the dust on Peter’s leather shoes, Maisy couldn’t help but laugh, "That’s great, exactly how it should be, how else would we beauties stand out?"
Ella chuckled, "I think your outfit is fine. It will help us blend in when you carry our bags!"
The room was filled with their laughter.
Seeing their laughter, Peter’s eyes wandered. Their busts weren’t small and shook as they laughed, which made Peter’s throat bob unconsciously.
"What’s that? Feeling some impure thoughts?", Maisy, who now acted much more freely in Peter’s presence, giggled, making Peter a bit awkward.
