Ryker contacted Bruce immediately after receiving news about the updated terms.
Money wasn’t a big deal to Cryptic Stream Corporation, so they weren’t concerned about the hundred billion
upsurges in the cost of the lands.
What mattered to them was the change in the duration of their rights to use the lands. They struggled to conform
from permanent rights to five-year rights.
Hence, Ryker had to discuss with Bruce regarding the reformed terms.
Bruce grinned and said, “They’re limiting our access to the lands to five years and doubling the price? That’s
exactly what I’m expecting from those materialistic Erudians! I’ll be far more distressed if things go too smoothly. It
appears more genuine if they request more in return!
“Although five years seems like a short period, our experts estimate we could mine all the sunstone in two years if
our equipment is ready.
“These conditions are acceptable. Sign the contracts now. We’ll proceed with importing the equipment and
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇttechnical staff to begin mining as soon as we get the rights to use the lands!”
Ryker nodded after receiving Bruce’s orders. “Got it!”
“Oh, Erudia. You dare hand over the rights to me for merely an increment of a hundred billion? You have no idea
how much profit you’re losing! Soon, you’re going to regret your decision!” Bruce laughed.
…
Immediately after having Ryker’s agreement on the new terms and receiving an additional hundred billion from
their families, the Four Heirs signed contracts with the Wilcox family and other related parties for the rights to use
the lands.
Although the Wilcox family appeared perplexed by the sudden changes in the time limit and cost, they were more
than willing to comply because there were many benefits to the agreement.
The Four Heirs hastily brought the signed contract back to Bruce, and everyone was ecstatic when they saw the
agreements.
After informing the members of the Lab of Gods about the successful deal, Bruce represented Cryptic Stream
Corporation in signing a collaboration contract with the Four Heirs.
The Four Heirs were appointed to become the ambassadors of Cryptic Stream Corporation in Erudia.
Although it was as clear as day that they were just puppets controlled by the corporation, they felt honored to be
the fresh faces who represent the corporation in Erudia. Everyone who knew about the Four Heirs’ new role felt
envious.
Right after settling the agreement, Ryker didn’t stop his hustle and instantly arranged for the importation of
equipment and technical staff from Zarain, while the Four Heirs tried their best to accommodate the company’s
demands.
Within eighteen hours, the essentials to mine the sunstones were in place.
The team wasted no time and began mining.
Their efficiency was astounding to the world as Bruce’s philosophy was to mine all sunstones in the shortest time
possible.
During the mining processes, Bruce would always monitor the progress via surveillance cameras installed on the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsite, whereas Ryker and Jefferson would supervise the work in person to ensure no mistakes were made.
“Mr. Johnston, we’ll be wrapping up our first batch of sunstones in three days! We could get a lot more sunstones
from these six major mining sites than you did from Erudia a while ago!” Ryker grinned.
“We used to have elaborated plans when we steal from Erudia, but look at us now, being able to mine sunstones
openly without restrictions! We could exploit as many sunstones as we want in the future!” Bruce was pleased with
the report, then instructed, “By the way, I’ve already sent out the escort team. Make sure to bring the sunstones
back safely!”
“Don’t worry, Bruce. Not only does no one recognize our plans and our current activities, but even if they do, they
couldn’t possibly act quick enough to stop us from exporting the minerals!” Ryker sneered.
Bruce nodded his head in agreement. “Hmm… You’re right. Erudia will never understand their huge mistake this
time.”
…
Ryker and Jefferson were currently in one of the six major mining areas known as Westford.
The mining progress was ongoing in an orderly manner.
However, Jefferson felt chills down his spine as a random tingle of fear spread across his nervous system quickly. He
couldn’t help but feel like someone was watching him in secret.
