Chapter 687 Unable To Restrain Himself

Josiah detailed his feelings of the day with particular care.

“On my way to see you, I had mentally prepared myself. After all, the concept of a mountain village had always been just a term to me, so no matter how unfamiliar the surroundings here were, I could accept them. But what truly stirred me was this town.”

“What do you mean?”

“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.”

Although his encounter with them was brief, it felt as if he had stepped into another world.

Lysander chuckled. “I was all set to hear you evaluate the commercial potential of this place, but I didn’t. expect your response to be so full of humanistic concern.”

Josiah paused for a moment, then confessed, “I’ve always said that you’ve changed, but now it seems, I’ve changed quite a bit myself.”

Josiah vaguely understood her what she was trying to convey. He replied, “Although our worlds are vastly different, they are not entirely without overlap.”

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