“You’re too courteous, Mr. Law. It’s my pleasure to entertain you,” Zayden said in an extremely humbling manner. His heart was about to crack from anger and humiliation.

However, he did not have a choice. He could only endure this because, at this stage, he could not offend Mr. Law.

The auction was about to start, and the fruit of victory was just in front of him, so he must endure this.

“You mean the Hanks might have already contacted the businessman from Harbor City?”

Dawson looked heatedly at Jasper, and his expression was solemn.

Jasper nodded and said, “The attitude of the businessman from Harbor City could directly affect the attitude of the government. Since he’s planning to invest, then the coherent facilities would follow after the land he invests in. Coincidentally, he would run into the matter of the province’s expansion.

“Plus, the Hanks have already stated their determination to take down the land and the land development rights on so many occasions.

“It would not be wise to go head-on with the Hanks during the auction. This will greatly increase our cost as well.”

Jasper spoke frankly with assurance. He was very confident.

“The rights to develop as a whole is valuable because the investment project for the businessman from Harbor City is at the south bank of the Southface River. Plus, the businessman from Harbor City is the one with the final say. So, if he changes his mind, then the Hanks will suffer a great loss.”

He took two steps forward and said,
