The Luckiest Dumb Doctor
Chapter 856 - Chapter 856 Chapter 856 Peeping

Chapter 856: Chapter 856 Peeping Chapter 856: Chapter 856 Peeping At that moment, in the luxurious castle, two middle-aged blondes sat opposite each other at the table.

Spread out on the diamond-studded table were various delicacies of beast meat and a blood-red wine like crimson blood.

Neither seemed interested in eating or drinking, both preoccupied with puffing on their somber cigarettes.

“Wren Webb, how are you coming along with what I mentioned?”

It was only after an indeterminate amount of time that Williams finally broke the silence, speaking with a grave look:

“Let’s not worry about who’s behind this for now; the fact that the land title of Snow Wave Mountain has been put up for auction means we might be competing with family enterprises from all over the country!

I think you wouldn’t want to just hand over Snow Wave Mountain to someone else for nothing, right? Not to mention, behind this auction is the mastermind who framed us!”

Just an hour before, Octavia’s largest auction house, Mack Auctions, announced the groundbreaking news that the land title for Snow Wave Mountain would be put up for auction.

The news quickly exploded on the internet, attracting the attention of many rich individuals from all over the country.

They all knew that the profits from Snow Wave Mountain were substantial; whoever got the mining rights would essentially have a money-printing machine.

The reason the Webb and Williams families had such large reputations and earned a lot in Octavia was mainly due to this mountain.

Upon hearing this news, enraged, Williams went directly to the auction house to find out who had handed over the land title for auction, only to be told that they could not divulge client confidentiality.

Furthermore, with multiple layers of official, discreet support behind Mack Auctions, Williams was powerless and thus personally visited Wren Webb, hoping the two families could collaborate and pool their money to buy back Snow Wave Mountain.

“This… Are you sure you didn’t hear wrong?”

Wren Webb puffed on his cigar leisurely before responding, “Look, don’t rush. Let me investigate the matter first, then decide whether to cooperate with you or not!”

Clearly, he was tactfully declining Williams’s offer to collaborate.

After all, it was obvious to any discerning eye that Williams was extremely tense. As the head of a family, it wasn’t like him to come running over before getting to the bottom of the issue.

Smack!

Williams, frustrated, slammed the table and exclaimed:

“Brandon Grant, don’t think for a second I don’t know what you’re up to. Are you trying to swallow Snow Wave Mountain whole with this opportunity?!”

Watching Wren Webb in front of him, carefree and sipping red wine, indifferent to the proposal, Williams’s eyes bulged as he said:

“But let me make this clear to you, if you don’t cooperate with me, you won’t be able to compete against the renowned merchants from outside! Don’t let your greed lead to a situation where you end up with nothing at the end!”

He had already found out very clearly that the auction would start in two days, and during this period, the rich and powerful from Liberty Alliance, Cherrywood, Golden Triangle, and conglomerates of various regions were all eager to make their move.

Even to ensure they would win Snow Wave Mountain, they would cooperate in advance, pooling together a large sum of upfront cash to compete against the two local major families.

If they did not employ the same strategy and continued to be disjointed, they would end up with nothing.

“Hahaha… Williams, I heard you lost quite a bit of money in the bay area recently, didn’t you?”

However, Wren Webb laughed derisively, speaking directly and plainly:

“The money you didn’t make doesn’t mean I didn’t! Even though I don’t know how the land title got lost or whose hands it ended up in, I do know that this is my chance to unify Snow Wave Mountain!”

The implication was clear, having finally obtained an opportunity to surpass the Williams Family directly, how could he possibly allow them any chance to turn the tables?

These words visibly infuriated Williams, who turned pale and then green as he pointed at him and said,

“Fine, Brandon Grant, you’ll just have to live with no regrets!”

After speaking, Williams left the living room in a huff, without further delay.

Shortly after his departure, a white-haired old man emerged from behind the scenes:

“Mr. Grant, you really should have accepted Williams’ offer. Although he’s not very rich anymore, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse. We’re not afraid of him surpassing us, but what if he partners with foreign businesses?”

This old man was one of the stewards of the Webb Castle, Kent Webb, acting as a sage advisor.

He had overheard every word from behind the scenes and had made a very rational judgment.

Upon hearing this, Wren Webb confidently shook his head:

“No, no, no, Frank Taylor, that’s where you’re wrong! No matter who he partners with, he won’t have more funds than me! The Octavian officials won’t just stand by and watch Snow Wave Mountain become someone else’s pocketbook!”

“This… You mean to say, find official support to help us take over all of Snow Wave Mountain’s properties in one fell swoop?”

“Exactly! The official banks can allocate me at least three hundred billion in funding, which is already equivalent to the money prepared by two or three foreign merchants. Plus the resources of our Webb Family, we’ve got this auction in the bag!”

As for who was really targeting them from behind…

Wren Webb had a clear idea and would inevitably find a way to expose the hidden assailant when the time came.

With his powerful connections in Octavia, there were plenty of ways to make the enemy’s life a living hell!

Frank nodded, “That might actually work. If the price of Snow Wave Mountain goes much higher, it’s not something an average person can afford, and besides, it may become a case of losing more than gaining!”

Although Snow Wave Mountain’s resources were seemingly inexhaustible, the cost of excavation was no small figure.

Considering all the operations involved, just breaking even could take up to a decade or more. Most people really couldn’t justify paying such a hefty price for a mountain.

“Oh right, Mr. Grant, the young miss and Gale have returned from the Eastern Continent. They encountered an attack by Ferocious Beasts on the road and were rescued by three young people.

In gratitude, the young miss brought them back and has been clamoring to introduce them to you!”

Frank smacked his forehead, suddenly remembering the incident.

“Hmm, that kind of trivial matter doesn’t need to see me personally.”

Wren Webb seemed uninterested and absentmindedly said, “Whatever amount of money they want, just satisfy them. I still need to visit the official building later!”

He needed to secure as much funding as possible before the auction began, and if necessary, he was even prepared to prematurely liquidate family assets.

“Yes! Rest assured, I’ll take care of Miss Shelley’s matter!”

Frank nodded and immediately left.

Meanwhile, Wren Webb downed the wine in his glass and, without lingering, disappeared quickly in the castle with two servants accompanying him.

All this time… they had failed to notice that on a beam above them, a four-tailed fox the size of a palm had witnessed everything. As soon as they had left, it transformed into a beam of white light and vanished on the spot.
