Getting $10 Trillion Out Of Nowhere - Chapter 1696

Chapter 1696: Long Time No See Chapter 1696: Long Time No See Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation “Hundred billion?” Upon hearing Connor’s words, Queta’s expression turned incredulous.

She shook her head with a hint of helplessness and said, “Mr.

Connor, if you really plan to secure the land with that price, we’ll be losing at least ten billion dollars.

Even if the land promises substantial profits, we would still be incurring significant losses…” “No worries, let’s go with a hundred billion,” Connor said contentedly.

“But, Mr.

Connor…” Queta seemed concerned.

“No ‘buts.’ Didn’t you already mention it?

Even if we secure the land at a hundred billion, we would lose over ten billion.

I don’t believe any company would be willing to endure such losses just to obtain this land.

My goal in acquiring the land isn’t solely for profits, so it doesn’t matter even if we incur losses,” he said in a relaxed tone.

“However, there’s still a substantial risk involved,” she gently advised.

“I’m well aware of the risk.

But if we don’t bid with this price, do you think we have any chance of winning this land?” he replied softly.

Queta sighed inwardly, understanding that Connor seemed determined.

Her attempts to dissuade him at this point would likely be in vain.

A little while later, they finally arrived at the bidding venue.

The bidding was originally scheduled to start at 10 AM, and they had arrived an hour earlier.

Connor thought they might have been a bit early, but to his surprise, some people had already arrived before them.

The parking lot in front of the venue was packed with cars.

Yarlford had a significant number of affluent individuals, and given the value of the land, missing this opportunity wasn’t something anyone would want.

Though the Yaeger family might currently be the most powerful candidate, that didn’t guarantee an uncontested outcome.

Anyone who attended the bidding was connected to the Gomez family in some way.

Hence, the Yaeger family didn’t hold a significant advantage in this aspect.

Given the high level of public interest in the land, reporters were present to cover the bidding results.

This meant that the highest bidder would secure the land; there were no predetermined deals.

This was why so many people had come to participate.

Connor and Queta weren’t familiar with the local elites of Yarlford, so they didn’t recognize many faces.

People were mingling in groups of three to five, creating a lively atmosphere.

Under these circumstances, many commercial groups had formed alliances spontaneously.

They intended to collaborate to bid for the landaEUR”only together could they have a chance.

Bidding independently would leave them no match for families like the Yaeger’s.

Queta’s attractive appearance drew attention, causing several individuals to approach her.

Connor, on the other hand, was largely ignored and assumed to be her driver.

However, as word spread that she was from Stormbound Real Estate, people’s expressions changed abruptly.

Many had never heard of this company before.

She felt a bit uncomfortable under these circumstances.

Back when she was in Orilon, she had been highly regarded everywhere she went.

She hadn’t faced such disdain before.

“Don’t bother with these people.

After today’s bidding is over, they’ll all come to butter you up.

Then, everyone will know about Stormbound Real Estate,” Connor consoled her in a low voice.

“Yeah.” She nodded softly in response.

As none of the people present were familiar with them, the two found a quiet corner to sit.

With time passing, more and more people filled the venue.

When a woman entered the scene, most of the attendees stood up and approached her to greet her.

“It’s her?” Upon seeing the woman, Connor couldn’t help but be taken aback.

It was none other than Aida, the heiress of the Collie family he had met in York.

Beside Aida was a young man, Cielo.

Connor knew that this young man was Albert’s son.

“Why would the Collie family attend the bidding event?” Connor looked puzzled.

“Mr.

Connor, do you know this woman?” Queta asked softly upon hearing Connor’s words.

“Sort of,” Connor replied with a slight nod.

Meanwhile, Aida seemed to have noticed Connor and looked over, her expression peculiar.

Taking a deep breath, Connor stood up and walked through the crowd towards Aida.

A moment later, he arrived in front of her, who was dressed elegantly and provocatively.

He smiled and said, “Miss Aida, long time no see!” Aida glanced at Connor with an indifferent expression.

She recalled how he had tormented her with poison in the past, so her face showed a hint of hostility.

Indeed, he had used poison to torment her, but she had already taken the antidote long ago.

Thus, she wasn’t afraid of him anymore.

“It has indeed been a while,” she replied coldly.

“Miss Aida, there’s something I’d like to discuss with you.

Do you have some time?” he asked calmly while observing Aida’s reaction.

Cielo, who was next to her, also drew his attention.

She hesitated for a moment before saying softly, “Alright.” Seeing that she agreed, he turned and walked towards the exit of the bidding hall.

She briefly greeted those around her before following him.

As Cielo hadn’t seen Connor before, he didn’t recognize the young man who had appeared.

Thus, he didn’t realize that the person in front of him was the Collie family’s most formidable enemyaEUR”Connor.

Aida followed Connor out of the hall.

They reached the end of the corridor, and Connor turned to Aida.

“You’ve already obtained evidence of Cielo’s crimes, right?

Why is he still here?” “Our Collie family has undergone significant changes due to your actions.

Beau has been in the family all along.

If I were to act against Cielo now, Beau would spare no expense to protect his grandson.

So, I can’t make a move at the moment,” Aida explained.
