Chapter 1425 Pay Up
In the urban villages, Jarek was informed that the property developer had submitted the application. Meanwhile, Alejandro was busy collecting opinions from the villagers.
According to certain rules from the Bureau of Land
Management, the village chief had to reason with the villagers before any demolition and relocation could proceed. Despite wielding the highest authority in Valen Village, Jarek still had to comply with formalities.
After gathering the village executives and representatives, Jarek went straight to the point. “I’m sure you’ve met the person who tried to take our land.”
“We did. She showed up looking rather smug in that fancy car,” someone affirmed.
Taking a sip of his drink, Jarek continued, “Whether we like it
or not, she’s our investor. We’re lucky that the village has caught her eyes. We shouldn’t give her too much of a hard time to at least show some respect to Mr. Calico.
“But that doesn’t mean we’re going to hand over the land just like that. Let’s offer her the western land and see what she does with it. What do you say?”

“We can give her the land, but only if the price is right. And we’ll only sign the contract after receiving the money.”
The person standing beside Jarek glanced at the villagers and said, “Do you doubt Mr. Jarek’s capabilities? Rest assured, everyone will benefit from this.
“While she has offered an additional five million, the homesteads are crucial parts of the deal. Things will go smoothly once she signs the deal for the arable land.”
Only then did the villagers grasp the full implication. It turned out that the property developer was a foolish scion. While five million dollars might not be a significant sum, she acquired a land that was essentially worthless.
If she had asked around, she would’ve known that the land was a former ditch and of no real value. Jarek had eagerly agreed to the offer not just to sweeten the deal but to ensure her continued investments.
“As expected from Mr. Jarek, you’ve thought ahead of us! We’re ready to sign the contract!” the villagers exclaimed.
With a gentle press of his hand, Jarek directed the contract be brought forth. After reviewing the price and the scope of the land, the cunning villagers signed the contract happily.
“Then it’s settled. I’ll inform the higher–ups. The investor must’ve arrived by now, and I’m sure she’ll be happy to hear
this,” Jarek said with a smile.
