Ainsley and Jake discuss the contract for a few hours before finally agreeing. After that, they had dinner together and talked about Pandora Island's development.
Currently, Ainsley's allies, the Téssera Alliance, were busy preparing men to go to the island.
They're also busy buying many things to build based on the island while also mining the Inheritance Stone.
However, none of them had set off to the island since the alliance had just been built a few hours ago, or maybe just yesterday.
"Even our family can only set off after two days, and we can't use the teleportal because we have too many people to send over."
Jake generously told Ainsley about his family's movement as they enjoyed dinner.
"Humm….the teleportal can't be used many times in a day? I thought it could…" Ainsley tilted her head as she recalled the underground base where Jake placed his teleportal.
There were a number of visitors when she visited the teleportal's airport. The Teleportal should be able to work several times a day, right?
And Jake had more than one Teleportal, ah!
"Well, we can. But the biggest Teleportal can only send thirty people in one go, not counting the heavy loads. One or two carriages are fine, but tons of them…"
Jake shook his head as he smiled bitterly.
The Teleportal had to send his troops sixteen times, and that might disturb the Teleportal business. Not to mention such a large movement would alert many of the visitors.
"That's why I only send some core members through Teleportal. Anyway, they won't immediately land on your island because you don't have a Teleportal yet…"
Jake had another small island used as a port for ships to unload goods or trade items from non-human races.
That island was located right in the middle of several non-human races' continents, making it a convenient trading port belonging to the Billios Family.
"The Port Island is only a few hours away from your island by ships. It's only an hour away through the air route."
Thus, Jake sent his core people to Port Island before departing to Pandora Island.
"Hmmm, that's quite good. We can visit your Port Island to ship Inheritance Stones to other non-human races' continents...I think our alliance's members will like this arrangement."
Ainsley didn't shy away from borrowing Jake's Port Island.
Anyway, there would be many non-human races on that island, and their Téssera Alliance could easily find their specific business target and sell the Inheritance Stone to these merchants.
Jake wouldn't lose anything, and instead, more non-human races merchants would visit the island to buy the Inheritance Stone.
The Téssera Alliance members could also follow the merchants to other non-human race continents, spreading their stone business.
For Jake, if the Port Island became livelier than before, his business would flourish as well. It's a win-win situation.
"My Port Island is only half as big as your Pandora Treasure Island, but it's still as big as the Roane Region. You can trust my island management and the security issue as well."
Jake smiled like a proud peacock as he introduced his Port Island which was as big as the Roane Region.
The Roane Region alone was actually as big as Singapore in Ainsley's previous world, so one could guess just how big Godlif Country is.
But even that country is still counted as a medium-sized country compared to other countries in the human continent.
Now...there were several more continents...this world is really big. Maybe tenfold bigger than Earth, who knows?
Ainsley listened to Jake's explanation about his Port Island since she would also soon come in contact with various races to spread her stone business.
That day, the duo were busy talking about their business and Jake didn't leave until it was almost midnight.
The two of them parted with satisfaction, knowing that their future would be bright once they fully developed Pandora Island.
Alas, maybe good things never last long, or perhaps it was the backlash of Ainsley's recent fortune of finding the Inheritance Stone's mine…
An unforeseen incident happened the very next day.
Ainsley was lazying around the hotel's lobby when Jake suddenly called her.
"Hello, Jake– "
Ainsley hadn't finished her words when Jake's voice sounded the next second. His tone sounded so grave that Ainsley's heart leapt to her throat.
"Ain, bad news. I don't know who investigated your recent movement, but somehow, many forces know about the Inheritance Stone Mine's existence on Pandora Island."
Jake inhaled deeply before continuing in a cold voice.
"And they just sent an army to attack Pandora Island."
!
Ainsley instantly broke in a cold sweat.
"What?? How come– how did they know about the mine's existence? Are you sure it's not because of our alliance's betrayal? Maybe the mafia council?"
Ainsley didn't truly believe the mafia council despite the higher-ups already swearing a soul oath, and she had sensed it too.
They could possibly sacrifice one of their own people to spread the news and then silently become the hero to save the damsel in distress.
With this, they would gain the upper hand in the alliance, and the Sloan Family might be suppressed!
But Jake immediately denied Ainsley's assumption.
"No, it's not the mafia council. It's the government and other noble families. They traced your recent activities and found out that you have been staying on Pandora Island for a week."
Jake wiped his forehead as he continued to speak as fast as bullets.
"From there, they make a wild guess that there must be an Inheritance Stone mine on that island. It's all because they think that you must have more than one stone, and it means...you find a mine."
When Ainsley heard of this, she silently regretted auctioning the Inheritance Stone.
She made a big mistake!
