Chapter 687 Unable To Restrain Himself

Josiah detailed his feelings of the day with particular care.

“This place is like an unfinished city. It has all the necessary amenities, not too backward but not too advanced either. It’s as if it’s in a transitional phase between a city and a village. Yet, everyone lives their lives with utmost sincerity.”

Lysander astutely sensed the underlying message in his words. “Are you planning to develop this area. yourself?”
