The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 1298

"What?"

Kilian scowled in annoyance right then. "I informed you beforehand and even pulled strings so that Zamri City Hall covered it up as a highway project, and you still haven't acquired that plot of land?"

Killian's accusation left Troy sweating buckets, and he pursed his lips awkwardly. "It's not like we're refusing, Mr. Lionheart, but Lanecorp just isn't giving up that land lot. Everyone we sent was turned down, not to mention that Zamri is a mess at the moment."

"Really? You can't deal with some company? And what mess are you talking about?" Kilian asked, but he was convinced Troy was deliberately stalling to get more goodies from the Lionhearts.

"Well, sir, Lanecorp has recently seen progress," Troy replied. "They are gaining ground across various fields in Zamri. In contrast, Zomber Group, formerly one of the city's Three Bears, is declining. Their two leaders died under mysterious circumstances, and the company is now acquired by Lanecorp as a subsidiary."

Seeing the look of impatience on Kilian's face, Troy quickly added, "And the Blood Wolves, Zamri's biggest gang, was also taken over by the Blue Fangs… But they don't seem to go by that name now, as they are now Lanecorp's health and security department."

Chuckling bitterly at that, Troy sighed. "I mean, what health and security department would number over a thousand strong?"

Kilian's expression turned somber—it seemed that Troy was not incompetent.

If Lanecorp was really gaining ground in Zamri rapidly, becoming a behemoth that could match Bearson United in such a short time, it was not surprising that Troy was troubled.

"What's going on in Lanecorp? Have you found out?" Kilian asked quietly.
