Chapter 1007
It looks like Michael’s still the one who understands me the best, Sophia thought as she sat next to
Michael, rubbing her cat and watching him talk.
No matter how I look at him, he still looks so good because I love him—he even has so many
suggestions!
Michael said, “I’ll introduce you to several reliable fertilizer factories; let’s go together when we have the
time and see if we can work something out with them.”
“Sure! Indeed, my hubby has the most ideas!” Sophia smiled.
Michael continued, “We can even organize a lucky draw event; people will get to enter the lucky draw
by purchasing the phone, and the winner will get a tractor. I know a few tractorpanies that we can
go and check out some other day.”
Excited, Sophia eximed and said, “Alright! We’ll go together!”
Meanwhile, Cooper and Linus were speechless. Michael is supposed to be an internationally renowned
movie star—why does he know these kinds of people?!
Michael had taken some time off from work to see Sophia and Carmen; since Sophia wanted to survey
Dragon Eye’s situation in the countryside, Michael trailed along happily. Cooper joined in as well because
he wanted to know if his beloved daughter was walking down the right path.
They couldn’t go very far because of their tight schedules, so Sophia decided to visit the suburbs of
Riverdale City first—the ce where she grew up. Michael also took the opportunity to leave behind
clues in Riverdale so that Cooper would notice them and locate his son!
The group went over to the tractor and fertilizer factory introduced by Michael first; after visiting the
actual site, they decided to sign a working contract. After the factory visit, Michael took Sophia to
Riverdale City to visit the ce where she used to grow up.
Riverdale City had developed well over the years; just like any typical drama, they managed to turn the
ce into a tourist spot. Since this was Sophia’s home, Michael had also invested in several resorts and
clothing factories to boost the town’s economy; he even built a highway and a railway here.
The town’s authorized Dragon Eye retail store was still under renovation, but Dragon Eye posters were
everywhere to be seen—Cooper was speechless when he noticed an entire wall of cheesy
advertisements about it.
“The Dragon Eye phone is the treasure of the vige!”
“Thetest agricultural news with the Dragon Eye in your hand!”
“Don’t fret when it gets wet—Dragon Eye is the best!”
Dragon Eye was one of Cooper’s earlier products, and he passed it over to Alice after developing the
device. He created a high-end cell phone that was primarily meant for businessmen, but Sophia had
managed to turn it into…
He couldn’t even recognize the phone that he made!
Being waterproof and fall-resistant, it was a magical machine that won the hearts of the vigers; the
overwhelmingly positive response toward the product had exceeded Cooper’s expectations.
Nheless, will the theme ‘A City Within the Vige’ really work in our favor?
After that, Michael took Sophia to a small hillside where she used to live. There was an old, grey house
where most of the paint on the wall outside had peeled off. Hidden deep in the mountains, the house was
surrounded by beautiful greenery; it looked lonely and dested, seeming as though it had been
forgotten by the world.
Michael took out a key and opened the door of the house. As Sophia and Cooper walked inside, they
realized that the room was quite clean. In fact, it seemed like someone had cleaned the house regrly
with its well-ced furniture and decorations; it was as if the house owners had just left.
“Look, this is where you grew up. You used to sleep here.” Michael pointed at a brick bed. Sophia was
amazed as she sat on the brick bed and touched it gently. This was the ce where she grew up!
The house belonged to Sophia’s grandfather. After her two uncles had gone their separate ways, only
Annabel and her parents lived there. When Annabel passed away, Sophia was sent to live with her
grandparents.
When both her grandparents passedter on, the young Sophia was left unattended in this empty house
while she struggled to stay alive; the vigemittee and the n leaders decided to send Sophia over
to her uncle’s care and moved her to town. With that, the ce became deserted.
Michael then inherited this house as Sophia’s husband and preserved it well by hiring people to take
care of it throughout the years. Sophia’s school awards were still glued on the mud wall, and the
tabletops were clean and dusted. Although they were old and yellowed, there were still some well-
preserved photos in picture frames.
Cooper saw a picture of Sophia when she was a child. She looked dark and ugly, but her clothes were
clean even though they looked old and frumpy. With her hair nicelybed, she looked very lively with a
red scarf and a little bag as she posed for a photograph under the persimmon tree.
There were also photos of Annabel, but there were only one or two left. There was also a photograph of
Annabel standing under the persimmon tree in front of their house; her head cocked to the side with a
faint smile, but the picture was so old that it could no longer be restored.
Cooper held the pictures in his hands as he looked at photographs of Sophia and her mother standing
under the same tree; his eyes welled up with tears.
I owe them both too much, too much indeed…
The weeds in the yard had been cleared up, but the old persimmon tree was still there. Carmen asked
Linus what it was as she looked up and stood under the persimmon tree, and Cooper quickly took a
picture of her.
They left after taking a group photo underneath the tree. Sophia wanted to take the photos with her, but
she thought better of it and used her cell phone to take some photos of it instead.
Michael wanted to bring Sophia to the school she used to study at, so they took Carmen and left first.
Now, the vige hadpletely transformed itself; as Michael walked through the vige, the vigers
quickly rushed out to see him. Not only was he a well-known movie star, he was also recognized as the
greatest son-inw in the vige.
This master was so great that he opened factories, built roads and schools in the vige and gave the
vigers afortable life. Most of the vigers were descendants of the Johnsons, so he had rtives
everywhere he went and they treated him with such kindness—it felt like he was everyone’s own son-in-
law.
Meanwhile, Cooper decided to stay at the house. Standing alone under the persimmon tree in silence,
he ced his hand where Annabel had ced hers.
He looked up at the persimmon tree and remembered what Annabel had said to him 20 years ago.
“Coop, I nted a row of persimmon trees in front of my house using my own hands! I’ll bring you along
to have a look at it when I have the chance—the persimmon fruits are really delicious! Here, these are
some persimmon biscuits that I’ve made.”
It felt like their conversation was just yesterday, but once he opened his eyes, only the persimmon tree
remained; Annabel was gone.
He raised his head as tears streamed down his face.

“Cooper…”
Unbeknownst to him, Linus was already at the entrance of the courtyard. On behalf of Alice, he had also
followed Sophia to the vige because he needed to survey Dragon Eye’s response in the vige.
Cooper wiped his tears and looked back at Linus. “What’s the matter?”
“Some of the elders from the Johnson Family want to see you.”
Cooper nodded his head in response. A few secondster, he slowly walked out of the small farmhouse
and meticulously locked the front door and the courtyard’s gate before he left.
After all, this is Anna’s home…
There were many members of the Johnson Family in the vige. As the area developed steadily over the
years, their poption flourished. The ancestral hall had been refurbished, and by the time Cooper
arrived, he realized that there were many people waiting for him.
Linus had already inquired about them and introduced each person to Cooper.
“This is Sophia’s second uncle, and this is her grand-uncle…”
The elders sat from above and watched while the younger generations gathered around them. Cooper,
whose identity was quite extraordinary, also sat down on a chair.
Although they did not know who this master was, the other master had reminded them that this master in
front of them was even more powerful than the other!
