Chapter 720 Project Launch

"Don't worry. I'll be back tomorrow," Spencer said.

"You're coming back?" Erik was surprised.

"I'll go to Los Angeles for business. Dad, you have to focus on these deals. Don't let Shawn get hold of anything else. This way, I can talk to Esmae again." Spencer did not forget to remind his father to restrain his behavior.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

"To Los Angeles?" Erik wondered.

"Well, to meet someone... important," Spencer said with a smirk.

The next day, Spencer was on a flight to Los Angeles, and Dan began to look into Casper's background. He was gone for five days, and when Spencer returned, the launch of a three-way development plan for industrial park was due tomorrow.

"It seems that I have caught up with the excitement." After listening to the subordinate's report, Spencer said sarcastically.

"This is Casper's background information. Mr. Davies, this person doesn't come from a simple background. You need to be on your guard." After passing the information to Spencer, his subordinate said solemnly.

Seeing the serious look on his face, Spencer suspiciously took the file and began to flip through it. After reading it, he frowned deeply.

"How did Nia hook up with this guy when Casper has such a powerful backer?"

"Not if Miles is just an ordinary businessman," continued the subordinate.

"Unfortunately, he's also a gangster. I heard that the gangsters in Lepus are ruthless. They're the ones who reject outsiders the most. With him as their backer, Nia will definitely be even more unscrupulous." "What are you afraid of," Dan said to him, "Just a couple of punks."

"Don't say that." Spencer stopped Dan and mused, "Be careful. My focus isn't in the country right now. Just keep a low profile and do your surveillance work."

Dan pursed his lips, as if dissatisfied with Spencer's timid manner.

"But," Spencer said with a smile, leaning against the soft back of the couch, "I wonder if Miles knows anything about this woman who's been spending a lot of time with his son."

"Mr. Davies, I know how to do." The subordinate had a crafty smile, and had guessed Spencer's mind.

"Alright, I'm tired after getting off the plane. There's an event tomorrow." Spencer smiled gloomily as he asked his men leave and slowly walked upstairs.

There will be a good show tomorrow.

The next day was the launch ceremony. Without Davonnis Corp's announcement, the media wouldn't miss such an important story. Even the gossip media was on the move, waiting to see if there would be a surprise tomorrow.

That night, when Lucia knew Spencer was back, she called Arthur.

"Arthur, Spencer might be there tomorrow. What do you think?"

"Let him come." Arthur had never paid any attention to Spencer.

"Nia will probably bring Casper along, too. Casper just showed up by her side. Spencer is paranoid and should have already done his background check," Lucia guessed.

"Spencer always thought that you and I are just working together... But Nia's intention is definitely against him, so tomorrow he's going to focus on them. All we need is to look on their trouble with indifference," Arthur said with a smile.

Lucia chuckled, but she hesitated to tell him what Casper had told her the other day. On second thought, it seemed too deliberate to bring it up, so Lucia decided not to mention it.

At about the same time, Nia was in her apartment, talking to Jacob about tomorrow's ceremony.

"Spencer will definitely be here tomorrow," Nia said affirmatively.

"I am afraid he wouldn't come," Jacob said, hugging Nia in disdain. "If he does, he'd be asking for it."

"Casper, don't underestimate Spencer," Nia wasn't as relieved as he was, "I haven't been able to get in touch with Samuel for a while," she said worriedly. "I didn't know Samuel's wife had reported him missing until I asked. I had a feeling that Spencer has killed him."

"What are you afraid of? If Samuel has said something, would you and I be so relaxed right now?" Jacob said nonchalantly.

"But..."

"Don't worry. Samuel has been by my side for many years. I know him well enough to keep a secret at the last minute. I'm sure he's also determined to die. He hopes we can defeat Spencer," Jacob confirmed. "So should we get involved?" Nia frowned. She couldn't bear to let Spencer be free and easy.

"The assassin under him is very professional. Since he can act, he won't leave any evidence behind. We'll only attract suspicion if we make a sudden accusation. That's why we'll keep this matter to ourselves and wait for a chance to dig it up and give him a fatal blow." Jacob thought about it carefully. He would never do anything without certainty.

After seeing Jacob think clearly and act calmly, Nia gradually relaxed and laid her head on his chest as she sighed and said,

"Casper, I'm so glad you're back. I don't know what I would have done."

Jacob smiled and said nothing, but thought: "of course I'll be back. Here's the power I want, and the woman!"

The next morning, at nine o'clock, as if to set off a warm atmosphere, it was a sunny day in Athegate, which hadn't seen in a long time. The sun was already high in the sky, making it hard to remember that it was still early spring.

On the construction site of the development zone, Davonnis Corp held a grand launching ceremony. The project was related to the official overall planning, so all the city leaders attended to show their attention. The media were all over it. No one wanted to miss such a grand ceremony.

At the launch ceremony, Athegate's mayor personally announced the project's launch and cut the ribbon, followed by a burst of firecrackers that rocked the city. It also announced Athegate's hopes for the future of the east side of the city.

Spencer didn't show up for the launch ceremony, and he wouldn't have rushed to block the official development-related project. However, after the frugal city leaders left the base for a celebratory dinner, Spencer showed up uninvited.

The venue was in a vacant lot on the base, which was a little deserted at the time, but with Davonnis Corp's capabilities, the celebration was never as rustic as its surroundings.

A layer of artificial grass was laid on top of the mud. On top of the grass was the banquet venue. The tables were lined up in long lines, covered with exquisite tablecloths. And there was a stream of delicious food and bottles of wine. The venue was also lined with a variety of flower corridors. It was not so much a commercial banquet, but rather a luxurious garden party.
