The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 778 A Haunted Hill

"Daniel, if you know the Golden Light Hill project is such a hot potato, why did you still let Jessica sign the contract? Aren't you afraid that you'll end up failing like everyone else, losing billions in the process?" Perry asked skeptically.

"It's because it's a hot potato that nobody else can handle it. But Jessica, she's a woman of great capability. No matter how hot the potato, she will manage," ," Daniel replied confidently.

Perry couldn't help but let out a sarcastic laugh.

"Heh!"

After his short laugh, Perry said coldly, "Even with all your capability, I'm afraid this potato is too hot to handle. Golden Light Hill isn't just hot; it's scorching."

"I'd like to know more about this. Perry, can you explain in detail?" Daniel asked cheerfully.

"Alright, since you want the details, here they are," Perry said. He stubbed out his cigar in the ashtray and took a sip of his tea before speaking. "Golden Light Hill is cursed," he stated plainly.

"You mean to tell me Golden Light Hill is... haunted?" Brittany asked, her voice trembling with fear.

"Whether it's haunted or possessed,

I can't say for sure. What I do know is that place is downright spooky. Because of those back-to-back incidents, TPO decided to

companies. Normally, they

share such a profitable venture, but desperation led them to it.

Many companies didn't believe in the ghost stories, so when TPO put the project up for bidding, the competition was fierce. The company that eventually won paid a hefty price.

But when they sent in their construction team, the entire crew vanished. The police later found them-dead and in a horrifying state," Perry finished, with fear still lingering in his heart.

Turned out, Perry's Millennium

Builders was also in the running for that bid. Considering how newly formed his company was back then, with its lack of projects, Perry wanted to take on any business that came his way. However, his O company didn't win the bid due to its inadequacy, and he saw it as a blessing in disguise.
