Chapter 44 Land Reclamation
Lana scoffed in response.
Okay? What does he mean by okay? I’m the daughter of the Collins family everybody likes and admires.
Yet, he says that I’m “okay”?
She pursed her lips in dissatisfaction. “I wonder who you are. Are you the son of the leader of Paradise
Sept?”
Donald curled the corners of his lips into a smile. “Paradise Sept…”
However, a sense of coldness flashed across his eyes as he smiled.
He turned to look at Lana, saying. “I’ll leave now. I have to go and meet a friend.”
“No. You can’t leave. You have to protect me. You’re now my personal bodyguard, so you have to keep
me safe all the time. What if the director of Southwood E-commerce District is a pervert?” Lana put on a
pitiful look.
After giving it some thought, Donald answered, “Okay, then.”
“Where is your friend?” Lana took out her phone to send Charles a message. Soon, Charles replied to
confirm their meeting place.
“Seasons Hotel,” Donald said.

Lana was stunned momentarily. “What a coincidence! I’m going there too. Let’s go together.”
As Southwood E-commerce District was five hundred and thirty thousand square meters large, it would
become the biggest logistic distribution center and the magnate of the retail industry in Terrandya in the
future. Every knowledgeable people in Pollerton knew that Southwood E-commerce District would
become a money-eating machine in the future.
Even Jennifer was aware about that too.
After all, although Southwood E-commerce District had just launched its phase one project, it had
already attracted hundreds of e-commerce merchants. Not to mention that Johnny’s Antiques was also
located in that area.
Located at the entrance of the e-commerce district was Seasons Hotel. It looked like a guard
suppressing all the merchants around him. As long as Charles was there, no one in Pollerton dared to
lay a finger on the district.
Meanwhile, Charles was sitting in a private room with a cane in his hand. His hair was neat, and he
exuded a majestic, imposing aura as if he could control everything.
Besides, there were two middle-aged men sitting uneasily at a distance away.
They looked very similar, and they had the same body shapes. However, one of them had a beard, while
the other was a clean-shaven man.
That man with a beard was Johnny Green from Johnny’s Antiques. He was also a tycoon in the antique
industry.
He owned thirty percent of the antiques in the entire country. Although he had a net worth of more than
tens of billions, he looked like a kid in front of Charles as he did not dare to mess with the latter.
As for the man with a clean face, Harrison would definitely recognize him if he was still alive.
He was Joshua Green, an influential person at Pollerton General Hospital. Moreover, he was also an
influential politician in Pollerton.
“Is it true that your lord will come tonight?” Joshua asked cautiously.
He still remembered clearly how terrifying Donald was. After all, Donald easily got rid of all the deadwood
in Pollerton General Hospital. Before Joshua could do anything, he received a warning.
Not to mention that it was a serious warning from Terrandya Provincial Center.
Apart from that, Charles also showed up in his house to warn him, “Don’t make any unnecessary moves
when my lord is angry. Otherwise, no one would be able to help you!”
That sentence was enough to make Joshua’s blood run cold.
Although that incident happened three days ago, Joshua still found it hard to sleep. He often had
nightmares, and he always woke up in shock.
As for Johnny from Johnny’s Antiques, he was never a match for the others.
He was always an honest businessman. Therefore, he had been keeping a good reputation.
Unfortunately, Charles was even more successful than him in business, while North Prince, Tyson, and
South Prince, Zayne, were more outstanding than him in shady fields.
Thus, he was even more frightened.

like both of you a lot.” Charles continued, “I want you to leave a good impression on my lord. That’s why I
invited you guys here tonight. None of you could imagine how powerful and prominent he is.”
“Thank you, Mr. Langford,” Joshua gushed gratefully.
“Lana will be here too. She’ll be discussing the collaborative project of Southwood E-commerce District
with us.” Charles added, “Also, Reina’s a well-informed woman. She’s also preparing to start a few
projects with us.”
Johnny was only good at antique appraisal, so he did not know anything about business. He asked
foolishly, “Is Southwood E-commerce District really that valuable?”
He paused, then continued, “It’s not that big, right? Five hundred and thirty thousand square meters is
already its maximum land coverage.”
Charles stared at him as if he was looking at a fool. “What’s on the north side of Southwood E-commerce
District?”
“The sea.” Still, Johnny did not understand what Charles was trying to say. “Moreover, it’s a sea with low
potential. The shores are rocky, so we can’t build a pier there. We can only use it for seaweed farming.”
Charles was exasperated. He turned to Joshua and asked, “Do you have any idea?”
Joshua tilted his head and pondered for a moment. Suddenly, an idea flashed across his mind like a bolt
of lightning. But then, he quickly shook his head, thinking that idea was too ridiculous. “I dare not to say
that.”
“Just tell me what’s on your mind.” Charles smiled.
Joshua gritted his teeth, saying, “Land reclamation!”
