Chapter 998

Despite Mackenzie’s cold tone, Emmanuel could sense the warmth in her heart.

His wife was no longer the same icy, indifferent Mackenzie he had married!

After ending the call, Emmanuel pondered for a moment and dialed Nathan’s number.

“Haha, you want me to invest in an iron mine? No problem, but Master, you must agree to one

condition!”

“What condition?” Emmanuel inquired.

It appeared that he would have to teach him some martial arts. Although it sounded rather

troublesome, considering the livelihoods of thousands of people, Emmanuel had no choice but to

agree.

-56%

However, Nathan smiled and said, “Master, my Chapman family has recently joined a prestigious

martial arts tournament. It is a collaborative effort between more than a dozen prominent families and

forces. It is not just about money but also about the honor of our family! If you can represent the

Chapman family at that time, not only will I secure the mining rights for that iron mine, but I can also

personally buy it and gift it to you!”

The heck?!

Emmanuel was taken aback. He didn’t expect Nathan’s condition to be so demanding!/

“No, I don’t have time to engage in such a boring game with you!”

He still had to find a way to help his wife expand the Quillen family, join the Chamber of Commerce,

and gradually dethrone the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce. How could he possibly spare time

to assist his disciple in

the tournament?

Nonsense!

“Boring? How could that be?”

Nathan immediately turned agitated. “Master, you don’t understand. Among the top forces, strength is

of utmost importance. Families and conglomerates that rely solely on wealth can never reach the

pinnacle or earn the respect of other top forces! My Chapman family is determined to triumph in this

prestigious martial arts tournament. If we perform poorly, our family may suffer significant losses in

business and connections. The consequences would be unimaginable!”

Despite his words, Emmanuel still hesitated to agree. Mackenzie would undoubtedly worry and blame

him if she discovered that he had secretly gone to fight.

“Master, if you refuse, then I won’t concern myself with your affairs either!”

Nathan had to take a firm stance since Emmanuel was being indecisive.

Recalling the pleading and hopeful eyes of the villagers earlier, Emmanuel sighed. “I don’t have much

time to engage in such pointless games with you, but I can participate in one or two matches. Any more

than that, you can forget it!”

If things took a turn for the worse, he would resort to seeking Eve’s help.

But Nathan laughed. “Deal! As long as you are willing to participate in the crucial matches!”

And so, they reached an agreement.

And so, they reached an agreement.

For the Chapman family, problems that could be solved with money were not truly problems at all.

I The Chapman family already owned more than a dozen mines, so one more wouldn’t hurt!

The following day, Mackenzie returned to the Quillen residence after work and discovered that her

aunts had also returned.

“Mackenzie, we are aware of the situation with the mine! The Quillen family will not invest a single

penny in it!”

“That’s right! Who gave Emmanuel the authority to represent the Quilten family?”

“He made the promise himself, so he should resolve it himself. Don’t even think about having the

Quillen family contribute a single penny!”

Hannah and Sophie grew increasingly agitated.

Samantha and Stephanie were also on their side!

Her second aunt, Moira, hadn’t come home because she served as the deputy mayor of Yeringham

and understood the issues concerning people’s livelihoods. She didn’t want the Quillen family to suffer

in vain, but she also didn’t want them to turn a blind eye and bear the blame!

Witnessing the unity among her four aunts, Mackenzie didn’t want to oppose them.

However, Emmanuel had made a promise, and as his wife, she couldn’t withhold her support!

“My dear aunts, Anchortown is our hometown, and Grandpa wants to help them!”

Mackenzie attempted to use Terence as a shield.

Unfortunately, before she could finish her sentence, Hannah interrupted, “Your grandpa wants to help

them, but he has already invested 150 million! Does he want to invest the entire Quillen family into it?”

“150 million isn’t enough!”

Mackenzie sighed. “If the mine closes, thousands of miners will lose their jobs, and the lives of

thousands of people will be in jeopardy!”

“Can’t they find other jobs?” Hannah asked nonchalantly.

“Anchortown isn’t that large. There aren’t enough job opportunities!”

“Then they can leave the town!”

“Transportation out of town is inconvenient.”

“Then they can buy cars!”
