Chapter 423 The Meeting To Divide Pollerton
Lilith shook her head. “Beats me. We don’t know where the radiation is coming from.”
“All right. Top brass has ordered for us to place Chiliad Avion on lockdown. There are only seven or eight people who know about Lord Campbell, so they must be contained in the laboratory!” Ryan said as he walked off.
Meanwhile, things started getting chaotic over at Pollerton.
With the official listing and sale of the reclamation area, numerous real estate tycoons and organizations have flocked over to Pollerton in hopes of getting a piece of the pie.
Charles reduced the scope of his business and didn’t dare make any moves until Tristan returned.
The Yund family, the Wheeler family, the Freedman clan, the Campbell clan, the Winston family, the Wilson family, Silas, and Akio had all entered Pollerton and set their sights on the reclamation area.
As if that wasn’t bad enough, the three Lords of Underground in Terrandya had also entered Pollerton.
Silas, Arnaldo, and Holton were all gathered in a hotel near the ocean to discuss how they would split Pollerton among themselves.
While Pollerton wasn’t the wealthiest among the sixteen municipal districts in Terrandya, it had the most potential due to the usage of Donald’s controlled fusion technology in the land reclamation project.
Standing behind Silas was a giant who was almost three meters tall. Being the tallest human being in existence, his presence alone gave those around him a lot of pressure.
Arnaldo was seated at the table with an old man standing behind him. The old man looked like he was asleep as he stood there with his eyes closed, but Silas felt a little nervous when he recognized the old man.
That’s the former top assassin! He’s made it into the top hundred among the assassins overseas!
The third guy at the table was Holton.
Despite looking no more than thirty with his red suit and friendly smile, he was one of the three Lords of Underground.
Standing behind him was a beautiful woman with exquisite makeup. Her name was Yolanda Zuckerman.
Yolanda was the one who helped Holton become one of the Lords of Underground.
Not only was she able to handle things with great finesse, but she was also a skilled fighter capable of killing with a single blow. She was once offered to join the Youngblood family, which was the most powerful and wealthy family in existence. However, she turned them down because she liked Holton.
Ethan, Tyson, and the others were seated at tables further away.
Despite being Lords of Underground themselves, they were nothing compared to the three main ones.
“Arnaldo, your power seems to be the weakest among us. Are you sure you’re qualified to get a share?” Holton asked with a smile.
“Is that so? While Yolanda may be powerful, I doubt she’s able to take Hansel on,” Arnaldo replied calmly.
He then shifted his gaze toward Silas and asked, “What about you, Silas? Who do you have backing you up?”
Silas casually took a sip of his coffee and said, “Francesco.”
The looks on Arnaldo and Holton’s faces changed the moment they heard that.
What? Francesco has been idle for a long time! Would he really help Silas out? If what he says is true, then neither of us will get any of Pollerton’s market shares!
“Look outside,” Silas added with a faint smile while pointing out the window.
There was a calm, vast ocean as far as the eye could see.
Suddenly, they saw a tiny black dot running across the ocean surface as it headed toward them at high speed.
Someone behind Arnaldo passed him a pair of binoculars, and his face went pale the moment he saw what it was.
A bald, middle-aged man was riding across the ocean surface on a reed that was faster than a speedboat, leaving huge waves in its wake.
Holton’s jaw dropped when he looked through the binoculars. “I-Is this guy even human?”
