"I''m giving you ten minutes to bring Geoffrey to the urban vige in Aureus District," Hera said coldly before hanging up the phone. Gaspard''s smile froze instantly on his face.


    Sitting on the couch watching videos, Hunter asked, "Grandpa, was that Hera who called you?"


    "She wants me to take your dad to the urban vige in Aureus District..." Gaspard looked puzzled. "Why would she want us to go there sote at night?"


    Hunter eximed, "Damn! Grandpa, you might not know this, but there''s a newpany called Southern Heaven Real Estate that was recently set up in the Southern Heaven Industrial Zone.


    "They''re moving into real estate and are developing the area in Aureus District. She must be looking to partner with us."


    Gaspard''s eyes lit up with excitement. "Aureus District is a lucrative opportunity. If we can secure contracts for building materials and renovation, we could make at least two billion!" He immediately pulled out his phone to call Geoffrey, his hands trembling with excitement.


    At that moment, Geoffrey was drinking with Xeno and several leaders of second-tier families. Xeno, who could hold his liquor well, saw that everyone else was already tipsy.


    Seeing a call from his father, a drunk Geoffrey said, "Mr. Hun... I need to take this call!" He then walked to a corner to answer the phone. Xeno had also received a call from Hera.


    Momentster, Geoffrey returned to his seat, picked up his jacket from the chair, and said, "Mr. Hun, I have to leave for a bit. This meal is on me!"


    Eyes narrowing, Xeno offered, "Shall I drive you there?"


    Geoffrey was ttered by the offer but did not dare trouble the man. He smiled and waved his hand. "I wouldn''t dare to trouble you, Mr. Hun. Let''s meet up another time!" After saying this, he hurried out of the private room and called his driver to bring the car around.? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    Hera had given them only ten minutes, so they split into two groups to rush toward Aureus District. About seven minutester, the father and son drove into Aureus District. Unbeknownst to them, Xeno was leading a convoy of seven or eight cars trailing behind them.


    They could only drive up to the


    entrance of the urban vige, where Gaspard and Geoffrey parked their. car and walked into the vige with four bodyguards. Hunter also


    wanted toe, but conso with


    past conflict with Hera, Gaspard decided against bringing him.


    "Geoffrey, have you taken care of that matter?" Gaspard suddenly asked.


    his


    Geoffrey felt uneasy. "That old man and the kid are still in the vige, but they shouldn''t know anything!"


    Gaspard''s gaze deepened. "This vige will soon be demolished, and we''ll be doing a lot of business here. You''d better take care of those two soon!"


    As they spoke, a dark figure approached them. Only when it got closer did they realize it was Finn.


    Now a celebrity in Jonford and a powerful Profound Reality Realm expert, Finn often socialized with figures like Walter and Grant.


    "You''re here to pick us up, right, Mr. Carter?" Gaspard asked with a faint


    smile, feeling quite proud. To think t


    that the man had such good


    rtions with people like Walter yet was here to greet him personally.


    Finn gave Geoffrey a deep look and then said calmly, "Ms. Lewis has been waiting for a while. Pleasee with me." He led the two men toward a small house in thensel family''s neighborhood.


    As Geoffrey recognized the familiar path, he grew increasingly anxious, cold sweat beading on his forehead.


    Unaware of which exact house the university student his son had assaulted years ago lived in, Gaspard walked with his hands sped behind his back, contemting how to negotiate with Hera. Soon, they arrived at the doorstep of the Hansel household. Geoffrey trembled violently and stammered, "Dad... Dad... I want to go home..."


    "Go home? And give up on such a good opportunity?"
