Chapter 0609 Sullivan Town.
As one of the most abundant mineral cities in the northwest of Wyverna, Sullivan Town harbored the most rare earth mineral deposits in its major mining areas.
In the highly developed modern era of technology, rare earth minerals were widely used in alloy production and aerospace technology. It provided numerous rare elements essential for atomic reactors and laser weapon manufacturing, which significantly impacted the prosperity of Wyverna.
The Walbeer family, operating in Sullivan Town for many years, controlled nearly 90 percent of the rare earth mineral deposits.
They even possessed the sole graphite mine, which earned the family riches beyond measure.
It was worth noting that although graphite appeared ordinary, its optical properties, especially in the form of graphene, found
increasingly wide applications in modern high- tech fields. This drove its price to soar.

It was no exaggeration to say that the incfrom just the graphite mine owned by the Walbeer family could surpass the total output of all the mines in Pearson town.
"Mister Walbeer!" Early the next morning, in the office building of the Walbeer Mining Group in Sullivan Town. In the general manager's office.
Vinicent looked utterly defeated as he bowed to the young man behind the desk, his voice tinged with bitterness. "To the victor go the spoils. I concede this time. If you don't mind, I'm willing to work under your command.
Considering our past relationship, I hope you can providewith a means of livelihood, Mister Walbeer."
His words were filled with humility, devoid of the arrogance he once possessed.
Forced submission.
The branch of the Black Maple Organization in the northwest was completely eradicated by Alexander, including three Black Maple messengers. None survived.
The most infuriating thing was that Alexander probably leaked information long ago. The Black Maple Master might even suspect him of being the informant, thinking he betrayed the organization...
Caught between a rock and a hard place, the only solution he could think of was to seek refuge with the Walbeer family, to seek refuge with the current head of the Walbeer family, Jonathan Walbeer.
‘Mister Reath, are you joking with me?" Jonathan lounged with his legs crossed, looking at Vinicent with a smirk. "You want to join me? Have you thought it through? A well- respected general manager like you, now willing to grovel at my feet? Even if you're a
dog, you still need to have value. Without the Wafford Mining Corporation, where is your value? I don't see it at all!" "You..." Vinicent's expression changed, but he suppressed his anger and plastered on a smile. "You're right, even being a dog requires value... Mister Walbeer, perhaps you're not aware, but although Sullivan Town seems calm now, I dare bet that within three days at most, it will be in chaos.
‘Someone has set their sights on Sullivan Town, on the graphite mine owned by your Walbeer family." What? Jonathan's gaze suddenly narrowed, locking onto Vinicent, his voice turning cold. " Say that again? Vinicent, have you grown tired of living?" His temper was extremely volatile because he had confidence. Although both were involved in mining, there was a fundamental difference between the Walbeer family and Vinicent.
Vinicent used to work for the former Callie Group that, at this moment, belonged to New
Chesire Group. Meanwhile, the Walbeer family operated as a family business, needing no support from any prestigious family. All the profits from the mines fell directly into their pockets.
In the entire Northwest, even the prominent families had to show deference to the Walbeer family, never daring to dictate terms. This was solely because the mineral resources in the hands of the Walbeer family could be transformed into immense wealth at any time.

"Mister Walbeer, that Alexander from the New Chesire Group is formidable! First, he bought off the miners, raised their welfare benefits, and then sidelined my authority. He oustedfrom the Wafford Mining Corporation." 'Also..." Here, he leaned forward slightly, his face full of mystery. "Even Callie Group didn't know, but I discovered a graphite mine in Sullivan Town long ago, kept it strictly confidential, and didn't disclose it to anyone!
"But now, even if I know the location of the mineral vein, it's useless! The entire Wafford Mining Corporation has fallen into the hands of Amber and Alexander. Sooner or later, they will find the location of the graphite mine." "By then..." A graphite mine? Before Vinicent could finish, Jonathan's eyes lit up.
With a half-exploited graphite mine, the Walbeer family had already secured its position as the top power in Sullivan Town. If they could obtain a brand new graphite vein, the significance to the Walbeer family was self- evident.
Owning two graphite mines simultaneously would undoubtedly make the Walbeer family the top aristocrat in the entire Northwest, even with the chance of becoming the foremost aristocrat, an invincible and transcendent existence.
"Talk!" At this moment, Jonathan's breathing
quickened, his eyes reddening. "Where is the graphite mine in Pearson town? Just tell me, and I'll give you whatever you want!" Vinicent chuckled.
"What I want is simple: safety." He stared into Jonathan's eyes, emphasizing each word. "As long as you swear to ensure my safety, I won't ask for anything, and I'll tell you the location of the graphite mine!" "Okay!" Without hesitation, Jonathan raised three fingers, swearing to the sky. "l, Jonathan Walbeer, the eldest son of the Walbeer family, will do my utmost to ensure your safety! "Vinicent, I've sworn. Now tell me, where exactly is the graphite mine?!" This time, Vinicent did not continue to tease Jonathan. He turned his head towards Pearson town and gritted his teeth.
‘That graphite mine is in the Ninth Mining Zone of Wafford Mining Corporation!"
