Chapter 2564

Theo clarified, "It's not quite like that. I wouldn't worry at all if I were anywhere

else, but it's really different here. It's not that we can't afford it. It's that there's a high chance we'll end up overpaying."

"Overpaying?"

"Yeah. You probably don't know whose turf this is, do you? The Troyer family is famous for their business acumen. This entire street essentially belongs to them. So, if you see something valuable, they definitely won't miss the opportunity to cash in on it."

"I see... Wait, is that family connected to Philemon?"

"Nash, do you know Philemon?"

Nash nodded. "I don't know him well, but we've crossed paths before."

Hearing this, the joy on Theo's face became harder to contain. He patted Nash on the shoulder and confidently said, "You should've mentioned that connection earlier. Things would be much easier now!"

"Easier? Who exactly is Philemon?"

"This entire street belongs to the Troyer family, and Philemon is currently the one calling the shots."

Realization dawned on Nash. "I didn't expect him to have such a status."

"Exactly! If you know Philemon, then this should be a piece of cake. We probably won't have to worry about overpaying, but it still depends on what you want."

"Alright, I got it,” Nash said, pulling out his phone. He had added Philemon's contact number previously while discussing strategies against Maxim. He quickly shot Philemon a message: [Hey, how have you been lately?]

The moment he hit send, his phone rang. It was Philemon calling.

"Mr. Calcraft, you finally made it!" Philemon greeted.

Nash was taken aback. Philemon seemed to have detected his presence despite him having concealed his true energy.

"Wow, were you waiting for me, Mr. Troyer?" Nash said, intrigued.

"Of course!" Philemon replied smoothly.

"How did you know I was here?"

"That's something you don't need to worry about. Rest assured, I mean no harm. You helped me out before, so if you need anything, just let me know."

Nash considered Theo's advice and decided to tread carefully. "It's nothing serious. I just thought I'd come down for a look around."

Hearing this, Philemon chuckled. Despite his young age, he was a seasoned businessman and did not buy into Nash's casualness.

"Alright, I understand your concerns. Mr. Calcraft, just trust me. I may be a businessman, but I'm also someone who values loyalty and honor. You can ask around in the community; no one will ever say anything bad about me,” he replied confidently.

Nash realized then that there was no need to play any games with someone so experienced and decided to be straightforward. "Well, I'll be honest. I'm looking for something."

"What is it?" Philemon asked.

"An token," Nash replied.

"An token?"
