"Well, this only means we have to postpone the project for the time being." Kaiden Wang announced with a heavy heart, smacking his lips as his eyes glossed over the people around the lounge table. "Unless you guys want to put ourselves in danger, but that means I have to pull out from this venture."
Dominic maintained a poker face as usual, tapping his index against the surface of the table. His eyes, however, had been fixated on the tablet before him.
"Is this person really dangerous?" Since Dominic was quiet, Ivy Wei couldn’t help but inquire. "I don’t understand the hype."
"Hype?" Kaiden Wang raised his brows, setting his attention to the beautiful and smart Ivy Wei. "That person is a legend, but not in good ways. As someone who had been in this business, we heard a thing or two about certain people in the business."
He took a deliberate pause, leaning his arms against the edge of the table. "This person had this strange inclination in gems. That’s why we stayed away from this person’s territory. But since this witch had been quiet and there were rumors she died of old age, people had been eyeing the mining she used to own."
"By people... that means, including you?" Ivy arched a brow as a layer of frost coated her eyes. "Kaiden Wang, how can you know all of this and not tell us beforehand?"
Kaiden Wang pressed his lips as he raised both his hands in surrender. "Others had tried and succeeded, so I thought the rumors that she’s dead were true!"
