NovelEnglishChapter 254 Many people had forgotten that the assassins who tried to kill Stephen were still on the loose, and that was exactly what Stephen wanted. Although he planned to catch the two assassins, he could not find any trace of them despite searching every corner of Celestial City. It was as if they had vanished into thin air As the construction of the food hall progressed and the story of Crystal Lake spread, many famous restaurants reached out to Stephen, expressing their desire to set up shop there.
Stephen was over the moon. "Come! Everyone is welcome!" In just one day, seven restaurants wanted to join the food hall.
That night, Stephen woke up several times from his sleep, smiling.

"We think the legend of Crystal Lake is fantastic, so we want to turn the story into a movie." Stephen could not believe it. It was one thing for big restaurants to cknocking at his door, but a film production company? It was a pleasant surprise.
He immediately agreed to the offer.
At that moment, he thought of Ethan. When they searched Ethan's villa, they found tons of fan mail. Ethan had written many bestselling and produced several critically acclaimed films and TV series. Yet now, Stephen would have his own movie too! Stephen let his imagination roam. It would not be long before he would also have a large fanbase. He could picture himself receiving mountains of fan mail and owning multiple houses filled with them.
At that thought, Stephen could not help but laugh out loud. He was no longer inferior to Ethan! "And once the movie is released, Azure Cloud Mountain and Crystal Lake will beceven more famous! Soon, tourists will flood into Celestial City. Maybe Celestial City could really take over the tourism industry that Aqua City lost." George, too, noticed all the buzz online about Azure Cloud Mountain and Crystal Lake and learned that a film production company had signed a contract to make a movie about Crystal Lake.
1/3 Chapter 254 Overjoyed, George approached Stephen and said, "This proves that even without Ethan, the two of us can make Riveria thrive." "Yeah," Stephen said. "We've caught up with him. Even he might not have thought of such a clever plan." George smiled. He was glad he did not embarrass himself too much when he went to Ethan for help. Back then, he had even considered begging on his knees. Looking back at it now, it would have been a lifelong stain on his reputation if he had done that.
Beg Ethan? Please. Ethan did not deserve that.
That guy should just stay in the remote wilderness of Drakthorn Ridge for the rest of his life! "By the way," George mentioned, "James just reached out toearlier. He wantsto approve a new development zone.

Stephen asked, "What's the new development for?" George responded, "It's for the restaurants. Plus, we could also build shouses nearby. They'll have a view of Crystal Lake from the window. These houses are going to sell like crazy." Stephen was stunned. Why had he not thought of that? They could sell houses! With that, he quickly pulled up the current property prices in Celestial City.
"Ethan set a price cap on the real estate in Celestial City to no more than 15 thousand dollars per square meter, and each household is limited to owning only two properties." Stephen frowned. "Isn't that ridiculous? Why sit on this gold mine and do nothing with it?"
He could understand if houses in the suburbs were priced that low but in the city center, a cap of 15 thousand dollars per square meter felt like a waste. "This policy has to be changed. How can we waste prreal estate like that and not make any profit? "Furthermore, each household can only own two properties. What are we supposed to do can? with the extra houses? Let them sit there to rot? Why not make money when you Ethan must be an idiot."
George also nodded. "Yeah, that was a dumb move. The financial district properties are worth,their weight in gold. And once the tourist spots like Azure Cloud Mountain, Crystal Lake, and the food hall are completed, the property prices there will soar. Right now, 2/3 Chapter 254 Celestial City is in desperate need of money. We have to scrap the rules that Ethan set!" mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
