The Fearsome Dragon Warrior

Chapter 297

"Good, I've received the five billion. Hehe, you're not bad, Zac. You managed to sell someone else's thing and get the money for yourself. Haha, you really are the successor to your father's financial brains." Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Although Zachary Fest hadn't been able to retrieve the money, he had used some underhanded methods to fill that hole. In Gordon Quay's mind, that meant that he was a carefree being.

"I'm not giving you credit, Zac. You were just lucky this time."

Zachary gave a small bow in appreciation of what Gordon said.

"I will give credit when it is due. I'm not a mean person."

The Minister of Economy gritted his teeth as he watched this scene. He couldn't stand the fact that Zachary Fest had come up with five billion so quickly and gotten the Governor's acknowledgment. He was part of the Monty family; his family was on par with the Fest family.

The two families have been in a silent war for a long time, but neither had come out victorious. If Zachary Fest got ahead of him because of this…

Liam sighed, then turned to Gordon, "Governor, there's outcome from our five billion, too."

"Hmm? Did you find it? Who took it? Who dared to take my money!?" Gordon's expression immediately changed when he heard that they had found the person who stole his money.

How dare someone take my money? I am the ruler of Central Federation! The people must have forgotten how vicious I can be.

Liam's body shivered under the tension he could feel rolling off Gordon's body. He said a silent apology to Albert Mondez.

Sorry Albert, I had to throw you under the truck…

"Who was it?!"

"It was Albert of the Mondez family."

"The Mondez family!" Gordon gnashed his teeth. He had treated the Mondez family kindly as he saw potential in them. If it wasn't for his favor toward them, they would still be a second-rate family. They must be prepared to face his fiery wrath since they dared to touch his money.

"There was a landslide at Mt. Simeon, and all the pipelines at the oil plantation was destroyed. They had received a lot of prepayments for the oil, so…"

"So they took my money to fix their mistake? Hehe, Albert Mondez, you ungrateful being!" Gordon scoffed.

Zachary and Liam had not heard that tone from Gordon in a long time. They were familiar with his temper and knew that this meant that the Mondez family was doomed.

"Liam, from now on, Draco Chamber of Commerce is exempted from paying tax in Paramount. I am also appointing Jacob Lynch as Paramount's honorary economic advisor. Zac, go and tell him."

"Yes, sir!" Zachary responded without hesitation and quickly left to convey the news.

…

Although Jacob had lost five billion to Gordon, he felt as though it was completely worth it. Money to him was just a number anyway. He was getting floods of money from Draco Chamber of Commerce. As long as the Scarlet Dragons stayed relevant, they would be able to get that money back. On the other hand, this book was irreplaceable.

He had traveled the Four Outer Districts and gone through many techniques, but nothing could compare to the Secret Record of the War Deity. Jacob was over the moon from finding the second half of the secret records by chance.

"Let's go."

He beckoned his man, and they left Bank of Paramount. Once they left the building, they saw a familiar- looking man.

"Zachary Fest?" Jacob stood stunned, and then the air around him started to turn cold.
