The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 777

For the past ten years, many big corporations have invested in the Golden Light Hill project, all ending in failure. Now, the area is a mess of abandoned buildings!

Perry was in business to make money, not lose it. So, the first thing he considered with any deal was whether it would be profitable. If a deal looked like a money pit, he’d walk away without a second thought.

Brittany peppered Perry with questions, but she got nowhere. So, Daniel jumped in and asked, "Perry, are you talking about the Perkins? No, maybe you mean the Becketts?"

Daniel's direct question caught Perry off guard. He looked at Daniel, puzzled, and asked, "And you are?"

"I'm Jessica's personal assistant, Daniel. I speak for Jessica, and what I say carries her full authority."

Brittany shot Daniel a furious glance but held her tongue.

"Perry, is this true? Daniel speaks for Jessica?" Perry asked.

"Yes. He does have full authority," Brittany confirmed, begrudgingly. She wanted to strangle this country bumpkin, but she knew better. They were both with TMO, representing the company, so she wouldn’t undermine him publicly. She'd just make sure to settle the score later, likely taking it up with Jessica herself.

"The Golden Light Hill project has been around for a decade. In those ten years, many large corporations have tried and failed, losing a lot in the process. It is indeed a risky endeavor," Daniel acknowledged.

Before negotiating with Perry, Daniel had done his homework. He even visited Golden Light Hill himself to get a firsthand look. He went alone, to understand the project. And by now, he had figured out why the project had stalled for a decade.

So, Daniel knew a lot more than he was letting on about the reasons behind the project's failures.
