After putting the phone away, Terence sighed softly.

Standing behind his master, Alfred narrowed his eyes and asked, “Old Mr. Quillen, are you going to retrieve that item?”

Terence gave him an affirmative nod. “Yes, it’s safer to do it. There were two break-ins at Alton’s house for two consecutive days. Someone has targeted them.”

Alfred agreed, “That person is something. How did they figure that the Heart of the Sun is with Alton? However, even if they guessed it, they can’t obtain it. Old Mr. Quillen, you don’t have to trouble yourself with it.”

Terence chuckled. “I’ve told you before. Alton and I are getting old. It’s time to entrust it to the youngsters. Now that the Terence Group is clear of traitors, we have nothing to worry about, and it’s our chance to start anew. I believe the youngsters could bring out their true value after we hand those two items to them.”

As the chairman of the Terence Group, he had always known that the Blue family were snitches. Unfortunately, they had been laying low over the past few years and hid their true colors. Moreover, the Quillen family and the Blue family were related. Therefore, he couldn’t ban them from attending the shareholders’ meeting.

Now that the Blues had sold their shares, Terence considered that one obstacle was out of his way.

“I wonder who the second largest shareholder is now.” Alfred expressed his concern

Terence, however, looked relaxed as he answered, “You’re right to be concerned, Maybe it’s our relative. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have helped the Terence Group when it was on the verge of bankruptcy. This alone proves they deserve every good thing as we do.”

He couldn’t help but chuckle.

He believed that once they launched the Heart of the Sun and the ‘Energy Diagram of Nine Palace’ into the market for the commercial development of new energy products, it would undoubtedly bring long-term benefits worth more than trillions to the company.

However, he didn’t plan to do it himself. Instead, he wanted to hand these two things over to the heir. What lay in the future was beyond his control.

After all, he was in his seventies, having one foot in the grave. Money was merely one of his worldly possessions at this age.

“Well, I won’t try to change your mind if that’s your decision.” Alfred nodded and added, “Besides, it’s been ages since you last visited Anchortown, isn’t it?”

“Yes. It’s been more than ten years…” Sinking into his reverie, Terence sighed deeply.

He only returned to Anchortown years ago when Tony passed away. It broke his heart to think how he, a father, had to attend his son’s funeral.

However, one should remember their origins even after they reached the top of the social hierarchy. Otherwise, why would someone strive so hard for all of this in the first place if they had nobody to share the happiness with?

Therefore, he decided to return one last time to see some familiar faces and scenery before he met his end.

Meanwhile, the night at Anchortown was quiet and still.

Various vegetables and fruits overflowed the land outside a fenced mud-brick house on the other side of the town. Dews began to gather on the leaves in the late night of spring.

A hideous man walked into the house, complaining about the environment as he got the dew off his body.

“Magnus, there are better accommodations around the town. Why did you have to choose here? This place is literally on the edge of the town. It doesn’t matter to you because you can relax, but running around the town has worn me out.”

Most importantly, he couldn’t find any easy women around the town. He was pent-up, but he had nobody to hook up with.

Magnus smiled at the complaints. Turning around, he pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and dismissed those words with a question. “What about the item? Did you fail again?”

“Yes. I failed again.” Blake spat on the ground and groaned, “I seriously doubt your plan and intel. Who told you that the contractor has the Heart of the Sun? I’ve broken into his house twice but found nothing valuable, let alone a

woman.”

Magnus shrugged. “It won’t be easy, or else it would have been stolen a long time ago,

Although Blake was angry, he still kept his senses under control. Thus, he nodded. “That makes sense.”

Only then did Magnus say, “From what I know, Terence and the contractor, Alton, have been friends for more than fifty years. Tony even dug up the Sun Stones in his mine.”

The Sun Stones were more precious than the ‘Energy Diagram of Nine Palace.’

After all, it was the source of everything, while the energy diagram was the energy technology developed based on

The energy diagram alone was already worth tens of billions, but the Sun Stones were priceless.

“You’re so sure Alton has it, but I couldn’t find it. You can’t blame me for this one.” Blake protested, “I may be skilled, but I’m not a thief. You’re asking me to do something that’s not meant for me. This is a fact, not an excuse. Don’t you dare mock my professionality.”

Magnus laughed it off. “I knew you’d be lame, so I have called in a professional to help.”

“Oh? Who is it?”
