Chapter 91: Chapter 91: It’s Getting Cold, It’s Time for the Eugene Family to Go Bankrupt

"Liam, may I come in?" A knock on the door outside interrupted the conversation, it was Leonardo’s voice. Liam pressed the button to open the automatic door.

Leonardo walked in, first nodding in greeting to the two guests in the room, then handing the electronic report to Liam: "I have completed the seismic evaluation, the mountains are all very solid. In addition, I have also reinforced the soil on the mountains, ensuring they will not easily suffer landslides when the snow melts or during heavy rainstorms."

Liam looked through it once, then said: "Thank you. Stay for dinner tonight?"

Leonardo shrugged: "Thank you for your invitation, but Logan has called me back already. He..." He was about to say something, but suddenly remembered there were outsiders here so he shut his mouth in time. Liam understood the implication, saying: "Then I won’t keep you any longer. The planet Cygnus side still needs you all to pay a little more attention."

Leonardo nodded: "Of course, since we have taken on the project we will do it carefully. Remember to save a few watermelons for me, I haven’t gotten to eat a single piece yet."

Liam snorted a laugh: "Alright, I’ll send a whole crate over for you in a bit. I’ll walk you out." He stood up, speaking to the two Vance brothers: "I have arranged a place for the two of you to stay, since it’s on the way to see Leonardo off, I’ll lead the two of you there."

The two brothers nodded, standing up to follow Liam’s pair outside. Lincoln looked at Leonardo twice more, suddenly saying: "You are Leonardo Santiago?"

Leonardo inclined his body, smiling politely: "You know of me as well, Mr. Vance? What an honor for me."

Lincoln said with a smile: "Someone possessing both talent, as well as guts like you, is rare among the younger generation nowadays, naturally I pay a little more attention. You also take on construction contracting?"

Leonardo shrugged: "I take on many trades, the technology company is only one part of it. On the contrary, it is you, Mr. Vance, your family’s medical products have already covered the entire Galaxy, I am still far from being able to reach that level."

Liam and Julian walked quietly beside them, listening to the two of them flatter each other. Julian secretly glanced at Liam several times, seemingly having many things to ask without daring to ask. Liam also had no desire to waste words with this maternal uncle who was even younger than Benjamin. Julian had been sheltered far too well by the Vance family compared to Benjamin, even now his face still radiated an inexperienced naivety.

Liam’s gestational psychophysiological disorder still had not passed, he was afraid he would have another flare-up, speaking harsh words that would psychologically wound someone else’s child.

Leonardo and Lincoln talked with each other for a while, not only exchanging contact methods, but seemingly also setting up a business deal together. Liam silently marveled at the level of professionalism of these two individuals. The specialized electric vehicle traveled for about fifteen minutes before arriving at the place Liam had arranged for the two Vance brothers.

This was the villa area reserved exclusively for VIP guests, overlooking the mountains while also facing the river, the scenery poetic, picturesque. Lincoln liked it at first sight, to say nothing of Julian. Liam introduced it in a low voice:

"The outer section is all for renting out to guests, while this secluded inner area is reserved for our family to live in." He stopped the vehicle in front of the gate of a two-story villa, using an electronic key to open the door: "This is the place for the two of you, I will keep this place for everyone permanently, in the future whenever you come just move straight in. In the garage there is a specialized electric vehicle for traveling around the planet, if you want to go for a stroll just drive it yourselves."

He opened the gate for the Vance family group to step into the yard, then pointed to the two houses on the left, right beside it: "The house on the left belongs to my adoptive parents’ family, tonight Elijah will return to stay there, while the house on the right belongs to the three of us siblings, next to that is the Mason family’s house, beside the Mason house is Leonardo’s house. As for that long two-story row of buildings at the far end over there, it is the communal residence for the staff and private soldiers."

He looked at the Vance family group, instructing: "Everyone has not scanned your identity cards in this area yet, please do not walk into other people’s private residences, especially that communal residence area, that side is full of private soldiers. Wait until I get back in a bit, I will update everyone’s information onto the system."

"I’ll excuse myself to go see Leonardo off, I will be back in a bit. Please make yourselves at home." He placed the electronic key into Lincoln’s hand, then said goodbye to them, boarding the electric vehicle to leave.

Julian watched the silhouette of the vehicle disappear into the distance, clicking his tongue: "This nephew of ours looks approachable, yet in reality he is extremely difficult to get close to. He is deliberately reminding us to know our place, not to go snooping around carelessly."

Lincoln glanced at his younger brother, not expecting someone as careless, thoughtless as Julian to be able to see through it. He waved his hand, the guards immediately fanned out, walking around the villa to inspect the inside, outside once over. The two Vance brothers only went inside after discovering no issues. He only answered Julian at this moment:

"He is meeting us for the first time, how could he possibly be close to us. Moreover, I can see he dislikes you immensely, perhaps because of Elijah’s matter. However, for this Omega boy to be able to build a close relationship with the illegitimate son of the Santiago family, he is certainly no ordinary person."

Julian asked curiously: "Is that Santiago guy really that formidable?"

Lincoln nodded: "More than merely formidable. He had decisively broken away from the Santiago clan since he was young, founding a technology company on his own, yet within just a few years that ’technology company’ held all the most advanced AI smart units in the Lumina Galaxy.

On the surface it is only civilian smart units, but in reality, all the military smart units across the Galaxy were researched by him. There are rumors that he is actually the boss standing behind the black market."

Julian and the guards drew in a sharp breath, feeling the calves of their legs tremble slightly. This person looked so young yet was already a big boss, he was truly a genius.

"The Santiago clan was truly blind to abandon a genius like him." Lincoln shrugged: "They would have kept the top 3 position from ever falling to the Cromwell family’s turn if they had kept Leonardo."

The genius Leonardo whom Lincoln praised was currently sitting with Liam, talking about Logan’s matter. His complexion did not look very good. Logan was very heavily injured, currently lying in the organization’s high-grade medical pod.

"Do you know who the attacker was?" Liam asked in a low voice.

"People from the main line. Recently Logan’s branch has stood out a little, catching the eye of that main line crowd. They want to seize the family property of Logan’s branch, including the agricultural planet you helped Logan terraform and the operating rights to the two Luxe Morsel restaurant branches. Naturally Logan could never compromise, so they struck viciously against his branch."

Leonardo gritted his teeth, saying: "In this battle Logan’s branch lost a great many elites, even Logan himself nearly failed to escape in time. Luckily our organization is no pushover." 𝐟𝑟𝙚𝚎𝙬𝚎𝙗𝑛𝑜𝒗ℯ𝐥.𝔠𝕠𝔪

Liam’s expression darkened slightly. Although he and Logan were not as close as he was with Leonardo, merely being friends in the business arena, touching his investor meant touching his money. Whichever bastard touched his money, he would definitely chop their hands clean off!

"Send the information on the Cromwell family to me, I’ll help you all find a way to deal with them."

Leonardo was startled, trying to dissuade Liam: "Don’t, the Cromwell family’s affairs are extremely complicated, even if you have the Hall family backing you, you still shouldn’t interfere."

Liam bared his teeth in a grin: "I happen to like interfering. Are you sending it or not? No sending, cutting ties."

Leonardo: "..." Damn it, this Waddling Bug crossed with an Armored Bug is truly unbearably stubborn.

He knew he could not provoke someone suffering from gestational psychophysiological instability, so he had no choice but to send the documents regarding the Cromwell family over, not forgetting to instruct:

"You just look through it, if you think of any method just tell us, we will handle it with our own hands. You had best not dip your hands into anything at all, the Cromwell family is not like the Eugene family."

Liam nodded: "I know already, acting just like an old mother." After that he broke into a bright smile: "Oh, if you hadn’t mentioned it I would have fucking forgotten the Eugene family altogether. It’s getting cold, it’s time for the Eugene family to go bankrupt."

Leonardo: "... Where did you learn that line that sounds so arrogant?"

Liam shrugged: "In an ancient book, you wouldn’t know it."

Leonardo clicked his tongue once, making no further comment. The electric vehicle had arrived at the internal dedicated spaceship parking pad, he said goodbye to Liam before leaving. Liam was just about to head back when he saw the gate that had barely closed open up again, a spaceship bearing the family crest of three golden ears of rice slowly landing.

Elijah jumped out first, Sebastian and Isabella got off after Elijah, Benjamin and Daniel came down last. Elijah said in surprise: "How did you know we were coming back to stand waiting beforehand?"

Liam curled his lip: "You dream too beautifully. I just finished seeing Leonardo off when you came back, it’s merely a coincidence."

Elijah pouted: "Who knows which person cried their heart out when I left. Let’s go, I have a new novel idea, I want to share it with you."

He hugged Liam’s arm, dragging Liam onto the electric vehicle to sit in front. The others boarded one after another. Everyone said nothing, only listening to Elijah chattering away with Liam.

Daniel wrinkled his nose: "Liam, why don’t you advise him to give up on that idea. I’m afraid that even if Benjamin dares to film it, nobody will dare to act in it. Even if someone dares to act in it, the Committee might not necessarily approve it." 𝖿𝖗𝒆𝑒𝔴𝚎𝖻𝔫𝑜𝚟𝔢𝓵.𝙘𝗼𝐦

Elijah glared: "I haven’t even done it yet, how do you already know it won’t work! Liam, you say a word, how is this idea of mine?"

Liam nodded: "Very good, extremely creative. I support you." He looked at everyone again, saying: "Go straight back to the private residential area, today our house has guests."

Benjamin was stunned: "Huh? Who is it?"

He looked at Benjamin, Isabella, and Elijah, saying softly: "Acquaintances."
