King's Awakening

Chapter 299: Is Alan Austin buying land?

Sayon, Royal Group.

“Sir, the survey team is attending work as usual, but it seems that there’s no movement from Alan Austin’s side, do we need more activity or should I…” David Herb spoke with some concern.

White Mitchell nodded and calmly interrupted him, “No need, the fish has already taken the bait. It’s just that you’re not aware of it yet.”

After speaking, White Mitchell gestured to Kylin next to him.

Seeing this, Kylin took out his tablet and read the message on it, “Currently, Alan Austin, Noah Weiden, and Messiah Anderson have all made their moves.

The land in the North Suburb wasteland of Sayon is being rapidly bought up by their people, and at this rate, within a week, they can pour all the funds they have into this wasteland.”

The North Suburb wasteland of Sayon is precisely the generous gift that White Mitchell has prepared for Alan Austin.

This piece of land has long been on the blacklist for commercial use, but the news was temporarily suppressed by White Mitchell.

When the time comes, all the hard-earned funds from Alan Austin and his team would be poured into this piece, only to acquire a genuine wasteland that is impossible to develop.

David Herb, who was standing to the side, was astonished to hear Kylin’s information. He hadn’t expected Alan Austin’s team to move so swiftly. Even more, he hadn’t anticipated the knowledge that he couldn’t find, was as clear as day to Kylin.

As David Herb was still reeling from the shock, Kylin continued, “Brother, that old chap Cooper still isn’t willing to leave.

What should we do about him…?”

“Let him wait for now, we’ll deal with him as soon as I have the time,” White Mitchell instructed.

He knew that Cooper must have encountered some tricky problems and that’s why he was so desperate to see him.

But he wasn’t running a charity here, he wasn’t obliged to help him.

Of course, if Cooper’s performance in the recent period could satisfy him, he won’t mind hearing out his grievances.

On the other end, after receiving the instructions from Alan Austin, the Jones family led a group first thing in the morning of the next day, and hurriedly returned to the Jones Group.

Alan Austin promised them that if the Jones family can help him overthrow Sherry Jones, he would let them participate in the Nezzi new city project.

The Jones family members, who got this news, burst with joy as if they have hit the lottery jackpot.

Despite knowing that Sherry Jones has now secured financial support and obtained exclusive agency rights to Dragon Steel Building Materials.

However, in their view, Sherry Jones is just a puppet pushed onto the stage by Beckett’s boss, she didn’t even know that Alan Austin has long been predetermined as the contractor of the Nezzi new city.

Once the bidding results are announced, Sherry Jones and White Mitchell would likely drop dead on the spot.

Exactly because they knew about this, when Alan Austin approached the Jones family, they immediately agreed without hesitation.

They returned today ostensibly to retrieve their shares, but in actuality, they are delivering a message for Alan Austin—a trap set for Sherry Jones, a trap that will severely damage her!

“Will Jones, what are you guys doing back here!? Leave immediately, you’re not welcome here!” Upon seeing the Jones members, Elijah Bailey immediately ran out of his office and blocked them at the door.

The daydreaming Jones family members’ faces darkened upon seeing Elijah Bailey.

Will Jones cursed, “Elijah Bailey, what is this behaviour? Open your damn eyes and look around, this is the Jones Group, our place!

You’re trying to deny my mother, the major shareholder, from entering?

You’re just a mere employee, your salary is even paid by us, to put it bluntly, you’re a dog raised by us Jones family! And you dare to bark at your master!?”

Snowden Jones added sardonically upon seeing this, “Looks like the Jones Group without my father as the general manager is getting worse every day.”

“Even an old dog like you dares to bar the way of a major shareholder?”

“You!”

Hearing this, Elijah Bailey was rendered speechless out of anger. Indeed, the Jones family still holds half of the shares of Jones Group.

However, thinking about the indecent acts of the Jones family members not long ago, Elijah Bailey was fuming inside.

At this very moment, Sherry Jones, who was in the meeting, rushed out in a hurry when she heard the noise outside.

Upon seeing Sherry Jones, Snowden Jones mocked and ridiculed her: “How timely of the CEO to come! Is this how you discipline your staff? Doesn’t even respect their grandmother?

Are they really treating Jones Group like their own property? Doing whatever they wish?

Is there no order here anymore!?”

Hearing this, Sherry Jones immediately furrowed her brows. She knew Elijah Bailey’s first intention, that he acted for her best interests.

But given the aggressive stance of the Jones family, if they continue on like this, the only thing that will be damaged is the reputation of the Jones Group.

At this crucial point, Sherry Jones didn’t want more complications.

Just as Sherry was hesitating, Old Madam Jones, who was standing at the door, knocked with her cane and said in a deep voice: “So, how long do you plan on having this old woman stand outside?”

Sigh…

Hearing this, Sherry Jones sighed silently and then invited Old Madam Jones and the others into her office.

As soon as they entered the office, Will Jones took over, driving out all the unrelated people and only left Sherry Jones alone with the rest of the Jones family.

As soon as all was settled, Snowden Jones cut to the chase, “Sherry Jones, don’t think that we came back to flatter you this time.

We still have some dignity.

Moreover, there’s nothing to flatter about someone on his deathbed. If it wasn’t for the Jones Group, we wouldn’t even have appeared here today.”

“Then what do you really want?” Sherry Jones asked in a deep voice.

Hearing this, the Jones family sneered, recalled the task assigned by Alan Austin and then Will Jones scoffed with disdain, “Ha, what do we want? We are here to protect our family’s property!

You should know, Alan Austin will soon be able to buy all the land in Nezzi New Town, and when the land is in his hands, what can you do to compete with him?

Your failure is a matter of time only. If you still have a conscience, you’d better hand in your shares now to prevent our entire family from burying you in your grave!”

Seeing this, Snowden Jones chimed in, “Exactly! Don’t you know your own worth? With your skills, you still want to secure the Nezzi New Town project?

You can endure suffering and pain, but don’t involve our Jones family. If we weren’t worried about you wasting all of our family’s assets, do you think we would be willing to come today?”

What?

Alan Austin is buying land in Nezzi New Town?

But hasn’t the location of Nezzi New Town been announced yet?

Could it be that Alan Austin has received the news in advance?

Alan Austin could exploit this advantage. What could she then use to compete with him?
