A few days later, at a private villa—
Caspian stared blankly at his screen, stunned by a newly released announcement. On the digital map, areas marked in red revealed the city's latest development plans.
"No! This can't be happening! Why? Why?!"
Panic surged through him.
He had paid a hefty price to secure a massive sum from the Ashford family in Luxhaven City. Twelve billion. In liquid assets.
Even among his own generation, that wasn't a small number. Especially since, when he'd borrowed the money, he'd given the family a 100% guarantee—he'd promised full returns, maybe even significant profit. His wife had even co-signed as a guarantor, and only then had they agreed to lend him that kind of money.
But now? The announced zoning map had nothing to do with his residential project. It was more than ten kilometers away.
A "school district property"? What a joke.
He was screwed.
