It was the only possible way that Keith could imagine her winning. Essentially, though Xavia would never be able to win against Zivon in terms of capability, things would end differently if Zivon allowed her to win on purpose…
Fast forward to the next morning, Xavia got up early to have a walk around. To her surprise, she soon came across Zivon and Nathan having a chat in the bamboo pavilion.
Just as she was wondering what they were talking about, she overheard Nathan saying, “So… Do you have any ideas for the green space proposal, Young Master…?”
…They were talking about that?! Not wanting to miss out on the chance to get ideas, Xavia quickly hid behind some bushes to eavesdrop!
“I don’t have any ideas yet. After all, Grandma is old and she’d definitely love a more emotional design. Unfortunately, that isn’t my specialty,” replied Zivon as he looked toward the mountains, knowing full well that Xavia was listening in.
Following that, Zivon added, “Great-grandma was the one who had given that plot of land to Grandma… I know Grandma had a pretty deep relationship with Great-grandma, so do you have any ideas?”
After a brief pause, Nathan replied, “Well… Lady Burton loved eating hot pot with her mother in the past… How about constructing the largest nocturnal hot pot city in the world? Not only will Lady Burton love it, but it’ll also be a perfect representation for Darlsbury. If everything is planned well, it’ll definitely end up becoming a landmark building!”
Momentarily narrowing his eyes, Zivon eventually said, “Not bad, though I don’t think I want to do that… Any other suggestions?”
…A nocturnal hot pot city? That was a fine idea! If he wasn’t taking the idea, she was! Grinning slyly, the girl then quietly slipped off, not knowing that Zivon himself was smiling as he watched her leave from the corner of his eyes…
“…This move of yours is truly incredible, Young Master…” muttered Nathan who had been dragged along by Zivon to put on an act with him. Maybe he should’ve been an actor…
Shaking the thought off, Nathan then added, “That aside, the green space is extremely valuable, and it also represents Lady Burton’s affection for you… With that in mind, isn’t it a pity for you to just hand it to Keith like that…?”
Raising a slight brow, Zivon then said, “Even if he gets it, do you really think that Keith will be able to handle the project?”
After saying that, Zivon then casually left, leaving Nathan momentarily stunned. So that’s why Zivon wasn’t worried…!
Essentially, since the green space project could range from a billion to nearly a trillion dollars, no average person would be able to handle it. In other words, with Keith’s current abilities, it would most likely end up getting suspended. Even if the project went well, to Zivon, trading that land for Xavia’s freedom was probably worth it…
