Zephyr frowned, slightly impatient. “When did you turn so slow?”
Robert was rendered speechless.
“I want to buy the island. Understand now?!”
Zephyr bought the island shortly after returning to Centrolis and was ready to develop it.
Everyone in the Hamerton Group thought that he had lost his mind, and Liam was no exception.
That island’s geographical location was the worst among the surrounding islands of Centrolis. It was also the smallest. Other than the scenery being prettier, it had no commercial value.
The board meeting was bubbling with comments.
“What’s gotten into Mr. Zephyr? He’s gone away and come back with a cuckoo mind!”
“Buying the island’s a loss! What an unfortunate event that the Hamerton Group has a reckless and capricious heir like this!”
Someone even said, “Does that island have some kind of mysterious power that enchants Mr. Zephyr?”
To all that, Zephyr’s response was simple. “Who said I bought the island for commercialization?”
“What do you mean?” Everyone was astonished.
Zephyr twirled the pen in his hand leisurely and smirked. “I didn’t use a single cent from the Hamerton Group in buying that island. It’s from my pocket. Even if I develop it, it won’t be opened to the public.
“All of you can stop worrying about it!”
Everyone in the board meeting looked at him with widened, astonished eyes.
Zephyr had always stayed low profile. Buying an island so publicly was no different to them from him being possessed.
Meanwhile, he did not only buy the island. He actually held a ceremony because of it and unusually invited a lot of press. The media had caught wind before the ceremony that Zephyr would announce who the big boss behind the western suburbs' land was during the event.
“Is there really a hidden boss behind the western suburbs' land?” The press began to speculate.
