Now reading: Chapter 466 - 0464 A Chance Encounter [This - is brought to from Darkstone Code, a Drama novel by Tripod.

Lynch and Mr. Herbs, along with those behind him, essentially engaged in gambling with the loan, just that so believed they were sure to win, which is why they hastily jumped in.

But in this world, how can there be such a thing as a sure win?

No matter how large the odds of winning, there always has to be a downside, even if that downside is many zeros to the right of the decimal followed by a "1".

After a brief conversation about so matters, Mr. Herbs took the initiative to leave, as he still needed to go "dog-eat-dog" with his peers and friends.

One benefit of being in this line of work is that they separate personal and professional affairs clearly; personally, they maintain good relationships with everyone, but when it cos to interests and business, they beco the most disagreeable versions of themselves.

This is often the case in industries related to money. If soone cannot manage the issues between personal emotions and work, it might cause huge troubles and impacts on their life.

The most direct example is those various insurance and financial salespeople. According to the results of a non-anonymous research organization’s recent surveys, it’s clear that the first people affected by these salespeople are their family mbers.

They drag every relative who trusts them into the water in a business-like manner, and use "work is work" as an excuse without any guilt.

And those salespeople who feel guilty about this either have left the industry or have sunk to its bottom tier.

Don’t think they’ll feel embarrassed, and don’t expect that most of them would have any sense of sha. They would boldly tell you, "Business is business, personal is personal"!

Not long after Mr. Herbs left, Lynch tidied up himself and had soone drive a bus to the port.

Lately, he had many people to entertain, for instance, those coming for investnt.

Lynch never thought he could develop and build this place by himself; it requires the efforts of many people, which is why he brings Li to high-end gatherings, letting him act like a "clown" to promote things.

Getting more people to obediently participate is what Lynch wants; as for how to get them listen, it’s simple, just have them buy shares in his company.

Nagariel ngwu Province Railroad Construction Company — even though the na seems long, Lynch’s place has its own na, and this is just one of the many companies under his control.

So companies he uses his own to manage, like Darkstone Security, Darkstone Investnt, Darkstone Capital, or so Foundation, all handling relatively positive businesses.

As for others, they’re generally prepared for certain special situations, like this Nagariel ngwu Province Railroad Construction Company. The na is indeed a bit long, but it’s not important; what’s important is that it’s not Lynch’s asset.

It sounds sowhat surprising, but indeed it’s not Lynch’s company. Its primary shares are held by an obscure Foundation. After so procedures, this private Foundation might have so ties to Lynch, but Lynch is not the main shareholder of this company.

Li also holds so stakes, and those guests Lynch has to et are the shareholders of this company.

Li managed to secure over two million in investnts for this company, using Lynch’s na. Initially, it was less than two million, but after Lynch left, another few hundred thousand ca in.

Every day, information from Nagariel is fed back to the Federation, keeping their understanding of this place uninterrupted. With the preliminary recruitnt for large constructions starting, nurous recruitnt spots have appeared in each city, accompanied by Federation workers, bringing unprecedented vibrancy to Nagariel.

It’s like a young woman radiating youthful vigor, making everyone want to get close to her!

Those who hesitated before found Li again and discussed possible cooperation. They ca to do a field inspection this ti.

This was also a small technique Lynch taught Li: you not only need to have the persuasive ability in language, but you must also have tangible things to show.

Persuading others requires cost. Soone who can casually put up a million is more enchanting than soone with pockets cleaner than their face.

No matter how well you speak, it’s better to bring these people to Nagariel for a field inspection, to see if it’s indeed worth investing in, and verify if what Li said is true.

In a few days, the port beca sowhat cleaner than before; every day in Nagariel witnesses massive changes.

Lynch suddenly thought of getting those posters he saw earlier, Airei’s Generation sothing or another, to Nagariel.

Every day is a brand-new day, filled with hope. The content of the posters aligns too well with the ongoing changes here.

With more foreigners coming, bringing investnt and developnt, and at the very least consumption, local city managent, including the mayor, are actively changing the environnt.

A cruise, which exudes a sense of oppressiveness, once again slowly docked. A large batch of guests from the Federation and even around the world disembarked. Both Nagariel and the Alia Region are considered places with the fastest economic growth in at least the next six years.

Many co here seeking opportunities, at least there isn’t a war here.

Soon, Lynch saw the people he needed to et, investors from the Federation, but apart from them, there was an unexpected presence: the young star, Penny.

"I didn’t know you’d co to et . Did you see the news, or have you been following all along?" The girl appeared very delighted, running over to embrace Lynch, without even caring about her luggage.

Not long ago, she barely escaped the "rules" of a top male star in the Federation. Although such incidents are bound to happen, if one could choose, nobody would want to be taken advantage of by a middle-aged man.

Fortunately, Lynch casually lent a hand, making her witness the power of the na "Mr. Lynch".

From Sloan to the director to the investors, everyone’s attitude towards her changed completely. They all maintained a sufficient level of respect, even when unsure of her relationship with Lynch, which was a feeling she never had experienced before.

It’s akin to those who looked down on you suddenly acknowledging and affirming your efforts one day; it’s profoundly shocking and moving for the person involved.

Including her agency and broker, everyone’s attitude improved notably towards her. Such is the deterrent power of the wealthy!

The gentleman and lady who were speaking with Lynch earlier made way with smiles on their faces, wearing curious yet understanding expressions.

Lynch apologized and cast a glance at the girl still nestling in his embrace, even ntioning "slls good", lightly squeezing her arm, causing her to wince and take a step back.

"I didn’t know you were coming, but you should notice I’m with guests." He frowned, preferring the two-million-cash from these guests over the girl in front of him.

The husband of the couple previously conversing with Lynch was understanding, saying, "It’s alright, Mr. Lynch. We can empathize with this feeling; it doesn’t bother us."

After thanking them, Lynch motioned the girl to wait nearby. Once he finished with the guests, he gestured for her to approach.

Like a small animal, the girl hopped over; perhaps Lynch applied a little force earlier when pinching her arm, making her a bit wary of getting too close.

Watching the investors getting on board, Lynch turned his gaze to the girl. "Sorry for being a bit forceful earlier, but I don’t want anyone interrupting when I’m conversing with others. I’m willing to be a gentleman and wish for you to be a lady. What do you think?"

The girl’s attention clearly wasn’t on the sa wavelength as the n around Lynch. Instead of focusing on Lynch’s warning, she minded the ntion of a "next ti", obediently nodding and poking Lynch’s arm, "So now, you’re not going to pinch , right?"

"As long as you don’t interrupt !"

The girl promptly stuck by Lynch’s side again, naturally entwining his arm. "How coincidental it is to see you. I thought you specifically ca to et after seeing the news!"

"News?" Lynch casually replied, even though he already knew the reason; the film crew was not far, and the girl was clearly here for a shoot.

The girl nodded, "Yes, the thes are trending, and they gave a script slightly related to you..."

The girl’s previous "collaboration" with Lynch had been exposed by reporters—a complete accident actually, as Sloan initially wanted to create so buzz by fabricating a rumor between the girl and himself to heat up the film’s publicity.

So reporter friends were stationed at the poolside to "secretly photograph", but instead of catching any intimate scenes between Sloan and the girl, they snapped seemingly intimate shots between Lynch and the girl.

Soon, she clarified publicly, stating that she and Lynch were just ordinary friends, then imdiately received an invite from Fox Film Corporation for a casting audition as the female lead in "Lynch’s Adventure" Part Two.

The first film was unprecedentedly successful, rumored to potentially scoop awards like Best Film, Best Adaptation, Best Screenplay, Best Actor and Actress, and Best Director.

It opened a new genre, and the father-son duo at Fox offered so much.

Following the principle of striking whilst the iron’s hot, Fox pushed for a sequel, and Lynch’s rumored girlfriend Penny naturally beca one of the invited actresses. With her exceptional acting skills, she secured the female lead in the second film.

They are here for onsite filming this ti.
