The moment Johnny heard those words, he said, “No way. Without the official approval letter, not even my brother would dare to lay his hands on it.”
Nodding, he quickly added, “After all, the approval falls out of the jurisdiction of the local authorities. That's unless it's issued by Chiliad Avion or Paradise Sept.”
Charles exclaimed, “It's land reclamation!”
Dumbfounded, both Johnny and Joshua froze on the spot, feeling a thunderous explosion inside their heads.
“D*mn!” Johnny cursed right away.
Even his breathing had become erratic. If it was really land reclamation, it could bring enormous economic benefits to the entirety of Pollerton.
That would mean thriving property value, logistics system, business investments, and even port constructions.
“Is it reliable, though, Mr. Langford?”
Joshua's voice became hoarse all of a sudden.
Charles reassured him, “The approval letter is currently being drafted, so it'll be delivered to my lord in no time. Also, it'll be undersigned by Chiliad Avion!”
The duo was surprised when Charles dropped a bomb like that.
It was even bigger news than the news of the Wilson family from Tayhaven and the Parasite stepping into Pollerton.
“Moreover, there are two reclamations this time. One of them will take place in the northern area of Southwood E-commerce District, about thirty kilometers to the sea, and the other one is at the southeast island on the south coast!” Charles added.
Stupefied, both Johnny and Joshua suddenly lost their ability to think as they listened to Charles.
Charles went on, “This is one percent of my lord's sovereignty. Do you understand now?”
One percent of sovereignty? Pulling off two land reclamations at once using only one percent? What's the real identity of this lord?
The duo gasped in awe. Because of that, they exhibited more respect for that lord than ever before.
They made up their minds. No matter what, they would go all out that night so that they could leave a strong impression on the lord.
At seven o'clock in the evening, nightlife thus began. Donald arrived at Seasons Hotel in the car.
After Lana got out of the car, Donald pulled over at the parking lot and walked to her side.
