Chapter 940 (1/2)

Chapter 940: 293. First-mover advantage

Dilise Stone was instructed by the “King of Rockbone” to specifically handle the forceful seizure of non-metallic ore production from the Deep Sea Branch.

A few days ago, the questioning of Selena by Dietrich Fegen and two Rock Bone Enforcers was also orchestrated by Dilise Stone.

Now, the secret interrogation of Hadley Grant by Ditucar Fegan and Paul Stone was also manipulated by Dilise Stone from behind the scenes.

Understanding the truth beneath the water’s surface didn’t relax Noland Lee.

Instead, his heart grew heavier.

It wasn’t that there was no way to break the deadlock, but the hidden connection between the Pangula Family and Larolon Rockbone made him realize that this matter was far more complicated than he had imagined.

That Dilise Stone was a cousin of Fagen Pangula and a cousin of an elder generation to Dickler Turner.

This guy joined Larolon Rockbone years ago, becoming the bridge for cooperation between Larolon Rockbone and the Pangula Family.

Such a stable relationship, which was somewhat fatal for Noland Lee, was known only to those close to the core of Larolon Rockbone and the Pangula Family.

Now, with the help of Deconstruction Technique, Noland Lee had become one of the few people privy to this relationship.

The trouble came.

Dilise Stone was not in the Suman Archipelago.

He was far away in the Laron Grand Canyon on the Kashel Continent.

Noland Lee was unlikely to be able to peer into the other party’s secrets and strategies using the Deconstruction Technique in the short term.

Secondly, Larolon Rockbone would not give up this time until it achieved its goal.

It was determined to bite off a chunk of the non-metallic ores from the Deep Sea Branch.

“It really is ironic, I never thought that my action of driving Dickler Fegen away would lead to so many issues…”

Noland Lee bent his arm and propped his chin on the table, sinking into deep thought.

Larolon Rockbone had always valued the non-metallic mineral deposits here in the Suman Archipelago.

The “King of Rockbone” had also repeatedly instructed Dilise Stone to urge the Pangula Family to start the extraction of non-metallic ores from the islands as soon as possible.

However, due to unresolved issues with the ore distribution between both parties, the mining matter was constantly postponed.

It wasn’t until after Dickler Turner was driven away that the two sides, driven by external pressure, finally reached a Magic Contract for cooperation.

The first step of this Magic Contract was for Larolon Rockbone to assist the Fagen lineage in reclaiming the administrative rights to the Suman Archipelago.

After this, the Fagen lineage would mine the non-metallic ores to their utmost and hand over 30% of it to Larolon Rockbone.

The cooperation between the two was so stable that Noland Lee couldn’t think of a good way to break it at the moment.
