The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 779

His bid didn’t even make it past the initial review; TPO rejected it outright. Perry was grateful for that rejection. If his company had won the bid, Millennium Builders wouldn’t have survived such a devastating blow. If workers had died, Millennium Builders would have gone bankrupt!

"So, Perry, you don't want to work with TMO because you're afraid your workers might die at Golden Light Hill just like the others?" Daniel asked.

"Yes," Perry nodded. "I've spent decades building Millennium Builders into what it is today. If workers die because of this project, and my company goes bankrupt, it’s not worth the risk. This is my life's work, and I'm not willing to jeopardize it. So, you both should leave. I'm not participating in the Golden Light Hill project."

"Perry, I understand your concerns. But I have a suggestion. If you partner with TMO, we will take full responsibility for the safety of your workers at Golden Light Hill. TMO will ensure the safety of everyone involved in the project," Daniel assured him.

Daniel’s proposition made Perry raise an eyebrow. "Daniel, you say you can guarantee their safety, but how?"

"By using our resources and expertise," Daniel replied confidently.

Perry let out a cold chuckle. "Heh! Talking big is easy, Daniel, but it won't change the situation. Once you’re on Golden Light Hill, all your talk won’t matter. The conditions there are far worse than you can imagine. Golden Light Hill's troubles aren't something you can simply talk your way out of."

"Perry, you seem to know a lot about the troubles at Golden Light Hill. Do you have inside information?" Daniel pressed.
