Making 213
As night fell over the Fields‘ Manor…..
Gilmore, Helene, and Graham were seated in the living room.
While sipping coffee, Gilmore listened to Graham describing a new CBD project.
“This project represents the new CBD in Vista Verde, and it’s poised to be a major financial
hub. If the Horizon Group can secure this development plot, it’ll bring huge benefits to ourpany,
Graham borated.
“But, the Wyatt family surely won’t let go of this golden opportunity, We must be prepared for some
stiffpetition from them,” he added.
Gilmore queried. “Mr. Field, since this is a major project in Vista Verde, I presume the initial capital
to kick start it would be substantial, right?”
Grahamnodded gravely, replying. “Thend price for the CBD project might surpass the current
highest cost in Vista Verde. We need to have billions prepared.”
Even though the Field Group was among the top 10 financial conglomerates in Vista Verde, a
project of this magnitude could be a stretch for them.
“That’s why,” Graham continued, “to sessfully secure and kick off this project, we might need to
coborate with other financial powerhouses in Vista Verde.
Tve already approached a few for potential partnerships. I believe we can sort out the financial
details”
Yet, Gilmore could sense that Graham wasn’t as at ease as he tried to appear.
After all, billions wasn’t a trivial sum. Even for a massive project like the CBD, coborators would
weigh their strengths and the risks involved.
However, Graham’s words did give Gilmore an idea. “Maybe it’s time to make another big move in
the stock market,” he thought
And this time, he aimed to make a massive profit, in the realm of billions.
Firstly, the CBD project bid required a vast amount of capital.
Secondly, he had already dabbled with billions and tens of billions in the stock market.
Now, he yearned for the thrill of ying with the real financial big fish.
“Mr. Field, Gilmore offered, “if you find yourself short on funds just let me know. I’ll cover the
difference”
A grateful smile spread across Graham’s face. “Thank you. If we do fall short, I’ll surely reach out
He was well aware that the Evermore Group was thriving in Vane, raking in astounding profits every
day.
This meant that he had another strong ally to finance the CBD project bid.
Just then, a ringtone chimed.
Gilmore took out his phone, and a smile crept onto his face upon seeing the caller ID.
Helene’s curiosity was piqued. “Why so cheerful? Is it a call from a beauty?”

There was a hint of jealousy in her tone.
Gilmore held up his phone screen and said, “Not a beauty, but a handsome guy.”
Helene nced at the screen and saw the name: “Benny
She remarked, “You’re not seriously considering going out for drinks with him, are you?”
She mentioned this because Benny had invited Gilmore for drinks that morning,
Gilmore responded, “Let’s see if he’s calling about those drinks. If he is, then of course I’ll go
With that, he answered the call. “Hello, Mr. Wyatt. Are you calling to invite me out for those
drinks?”
“Mr. Gilmore, how did you guess right away?” Benny’s jovial voice came through the phone.
“Because you mentioned it this morning, and I assumed you’re a man of your word,” replied
Gilmore.
Helene felt like she was about to faint.
Clearly, Benny was up to no good, yet Gilmore seemed keen on the idea of joining him for a drink.
He was practically walking right into a trap.
Benny’s hearty voice resonated again. “You’re right! How about tonight at eight at the Wyatt Bar?
Let’s enjoy a few drinks together!”
“Sounds good, Mr. Wyatt. I’ll see you there,” responded Gilmore, equally enthusiastic.
With that, Gilmore hung up the phone.
Helene had overheard Gilmore’s phone conversation with Benny. Worried, she said, “Gilmore, are
you sure about goi
“The Wyatt Bar is thergest bar in Vista Verde. It’s a ce where all sorts of people mix, and
what’s more, it’s owned by the Wyatt Group.
“Going there is like walking into a trap.”
Graham couldn’t help but chime in, “Gilmore, Helene is right. The Wyatt Bar is Wyatt territory. Once
you’re in, it might be hard toe back out”
Yet, Gilmore’s face remained unfazed as he replied, “If it’s a trap then I want to see it for myself.
“Don’t worry, the Wyatts won’t find it easy to mess with me.
“I’m off to hang out with Benny.”
With that, he began to head out.
Helene quickly followed, saying, “Gilmore, I know you’re a formidable martialist.
“But going to the Wyatt Bar alone is just too risky.
“It’s easy to dodge an open attack but hard to guard against a hidden one. The Wyatts are known
for their sneaky and underhanded tactics.
“Why not let Julian bring some of the Star Gate martialists with you?
Gilmore responded, “No need. I’ll be fine.”
Just then, Julian walked in through the main door, coincidentally running into Gilmore and Helene.

Helene immediately said to the neer, “Julian! Perfect timing. Benny has invited Gilmore for
drinks at the Wyatt Bar, and I’m sure he’s up to no good. You should go with him.”
Julian’s face registered surprise. Was Gilmore really going to drink with Benny?
He looked at Gilmore and said. “Knowing that Be34
intentions might not be pure, why would you still want to go?”
Gilmore chuckled, saying, “It’s simple. I’ll give them a chance to cross me, so I can take down the
Wyatt family for good.”
Hearing this, both Julian and Helene were so stunned that they were at a loss for words.
If Gilmore hadn’t been sober, they would’ve thought he was drunk–talking.
Take down the Wyatts?
Was this some kind of joke?
Setting aside the immense wealth and influence of the Wyatts, the Wyatt patriarch was a senior
presbyter of de Gate. Even Star Gate wouldn’t dare to take action against them.
“Mr. Reed, are you serious?” Julian finally found his voice and asked.
Gilmore smirked. “If you think I’m joking, then let’s leave it at that.”
With that, he began to head out.
Helene quickly said, Julian, hurry up and take some people to follow Gilmore to the Wyatt Bar.”
Julian firmly responded, I can’t, Helene. I’m here on orders from the leader to protect the Field
family. If I leave and the enemy uses this as a distraction, endangering the Fields, I won’t be able to
answer to the leader, let alone you.”
Julian spoke very firmly.
However, he couldn’t just ignore Gilmore’s safety either, Tll send three of Star Gate’s martialists to
apany Gilmore,” he told Helene,
Helene knew how principled Julian was. If he said that he would stay to protect the Field family,
then even if a de were held to his throat, he wouldn’t change his mind.
So, she hurriedly urged, “Then send your martialists quickly.”
“Leave it to me,” Julian responded and headed outside.
Gilmore got into one of the Field family’s luxury cars. Another car, carrying three of the Star Gate’s
martialists, trailed behind him as they set off for the Wyatt Bar.
