"Since it was a long-term and highly confidential plan, we didn't dare discuss it with anyone else. A lot of businessmen would have been eager to get involved. But it would bring not only wealth but also disaster to many.” My father was not exaggerating.
Even now, any mention of mineral development would make many people prick up their ears and becsensitive to the situation.

"But somehow, the news leaked at spoint." My father frowned. "I never figured out where the problem was, even after so many years." "Why do you say that?" I asked, intrigued.
I noticed Atlas had been deep in thought. I was certain he understood the details.
"One day, Celine got her father to negotiate with Louis out of the blue. She said she could put the Pierce family's business aside, but she wanted to do something of her own. You know what that was? She wanted to manage the mining sites in Urosia herself." "Urosia?" I scoffed. "She was greedy." My father nodded. "Louis denied her request, which displeased their father." "There were only two of you, but there were so many mines. How could you possibly cover them all?" It seemed impossible to me. "That was the most crucial step. We divided the tasks by continent and assigned someone we trusted to oversee each site. They didn't know each other, so they couldn't communicate." "How is that even possible?" I exclaimed.
I looked at Atlas. He didn't refute what my father said. It seemed he could probably do the same.
"We expended a lot of manpower, resources, and effort, and it was all done with great caution." My father seemed tired. He shifted, and I quickly added a blanket behind him to make him more comfortable.

He shook his head and continued, "During those ten years, Louis and I developed the business while tirelessly conducting surveys, especially when selecting those candidates. It was quite a challenge, which explains why we traveled around the world so much." Content belongs to en.kikistoriesAs soon as he said that, I saw Atlas's gaze drop slightly.
I understood why.
We must have disliked our parents' frequent business trips. We didn't have many opportunities to be together, which was why the photo of us playing musical instruments and singing together was so precious.
"It was necessary to ensure funding in this area too. Louis was very .ne astute. He secretly operated several small-scale mining operations, which was enough to provide us with the funds needed for this while making the business thrive and diverting attention from the real focus. Content belongs to en.kikistories"Celine initially thought that Louis was successful because of the Pierce family business, but she couldn't benefit from that. "People are often shortsighted, especially women like Adeline. Once she was part of the Pierce family, there was no peace at home. She hated how she only had a daughter though." Adeline? I had to meet this woman.
"He's been wanting us to cback for a meeting. I've hesitated for a long time, but I had planned to take Chlo back to Nocturnia recently. Now that she's pregnant, I've changed my mind," Atlas said.
As soon as I heard that, I immediately tried to reassure him. "I'm fine. There's no need to worry." My father pondered momentarily. "No, we need to approach this cautiously. You don't understand that woman."
