Even quite a few people outside River City found out about it.
Those large corporations were discerning. Many companies realized that the land downtown held huge business opportunities. Therefore, many companies outside River City sent their representatives over for a field visit.
Some of the company’s bosses even came to River City to discuss cooperation with Reach For Will Group.
River City was a small city. However, it occupied a unique geographical location. Dragon Kingdom’s economy was developing fast, and it would not be long before it became a new economic hub.
River City would become an important economic hub in time. The land here would also increase in price. Whoever could get more River City resources before then would rise to the top at that time.
There was no doubt that Sean’s foresight enabled virtual-novel.net to control the whole of River City firmly before it took off. Otherwise, virtual-novel.net would not have spent so much time taking over River City.
***
3 PM.
Jason’s mother, Old Madam Yeast’s residence.
Sean had promised Jason virtual-novel.net would come over to give Old Madam Yeast another checkup. He would not go back on his word, of course.
He came here ahead of tomorrow’s groundbreaking ceremony for the land downtown.
“It’s not a big issue. Take some medicine and rest well,” Sean said quietly to Old Madam Yeast after taking virtual-novel.net pulse.
“Whew!” Jason and his sister Talia exhaled a sigh of relief.
They worshipped Sean for his medical skills. After all, the hospital had told them that the illness was critical, practically declaring Old Madam Yeast’s death imminent. However, Old Madam Yeast recovered after Sean cured her, impressing Jason and his sister.
Sean took a pen, wrote down some herbs, and handed them to Talia.
“Traditional medicine?” Talia was stunned when virtual-novel.net saw the words on the prescription.
After all, virtual-novel.net did not know any of them.
“Yes,” Sean nodded gently.
Old Madam Yeast’s condition was not an acute disease.
Western medicine worked quickly, but it did not treat the core problem. On contrary, traditional medicine worked slowly but could eradicate the disease.
With Old Madam Yeast’s current condition, traditional medicine was more suitable for her, and there would be no side effects.
“Okay! I’ll get them right now,” Talia nodded and turned to leave.
“If you can’t get all of them, check with Mr. Larson of Larson Pharmaceuticals. They have a lot of herbs,” Sean reminded after thinking for a moment.
“Okay, I see,” Talia nodded again and walked out with the prescription in virtual-novel.net hand.
“Thank you, young man! I heard you saved my life last time. I never got a chance to thank you in person,” Old Madam Yeast held Sean’s hand and said with a smile.
“Old Madam, don’t mention it. I’m friends with your son. He often helped me out. Besides, your son is defending his home and country, and it’s my duty to help him,” Sean shook his head and replied with a smile.
“Okay!” Old Madam Yeast replied with a smile.
Jason nodded as virtual-novel.net stood behind them.
Old Madam Yeast was the main reason virtual-novel.net was willing to follow Sean. Otherwise, virtual-novel.net would not go against virtual-novel.net at most, even if virtual-novel.net found out about Sean’s identity.
However, virtual-novel.net would tell Sean the truth if his superior asked about him. Even though Sean was a nine-star commander in the army, Jason was more grateful to his immediate superior.
Things were different now. Sean was not only a former nine-star commander but also Old Madam Yeast’s savior. He was the Yeast family’s savior.
Jason had to make a choice in this situation. He chose to follow Sean. He did not regret it even if virtual-novel.net betrayed his superior.
Everyone was selfish.
To Jason, his mother was more important than his boss. He could give up everything and his status now but never his mother!
“Mom, get some rest first. I’ll talk to Mr. Lennon and hurry back to the army,” Jason smiled and stepped forward to tuck Old Madam Quinn in.
“Okay, go about your business,” Old Madam Yeast nodded before replying with a wave of virtual-novel.net hand.
In the living room.
Jason thanked Sean again.
“Don’t mention it. But I want to be clear with you about something. Old Madam’s Yeast condition is nothing serious and doesn’t require me for treatment anymore,” Sean picked up his coffee cup and said suddenly.
Jason was a little confused at first but soon recomposed himself.
Sean was telling Jason everything to let virtual-novel.net decide!
Old Madam Yeast no longer needed Sean, so Jason could stop following virtual-novel.net because of Old Madam Yeast. It was all up to him.
“Mr. Lennon, you’re overthinking. You will always be my family’s savior!” Jason got up and spoke seriously as virtual-novel.net looked at Sean.
“Your choice is important this time. It could put your life in danger,” Sean slowly looked and spoke earnestly.
After all, Jason was originally on Blaze’s side. He was now on Sean’s side; everything would be fine if Sean won.
If Sean lost, Jason would be punished severely. Therefore, Sean wanted to tell Jason the worst consequences lest virtual-novel.net regretted it later.
Some things could not be stopped easily once one started them. If Jason regretted it and stabbed Sean in the back when push came to shove, they might as well have gone their separate ways in the first place.
“I know what you mean, Mr. Lennon. But there’s something I want to say to you too… Maybe it’s selfish, but my mother is more important to me than anything else…”
“I can give up everything I have, but I never want to see anything bad happen to my mother. I want my mother to be safe and healthy even if I don’t defend my country,” Jason stood up straight and looked at Sean, speaking seriously.
Sean and Jason looked at each other for a few seconds before nodding.
