Chapter 1157 - 1157

It was night, around ten o'clock.

Mountridge County, Silverwood City.

Mountridge County is also a major tourist area in Silverwood City.

Although the variety of tourism is not much, there is a Daoist mountain renowned both domestically and internationally within its borders — Five Peaks Mountain.

The mountain is filled with strange peaks and rocks, which need no further elaboration.

The mountain dwellings are densely packed, with a total of twenty-five Daoist temples.

These temples have a long history, and the relics within are countless.

Such a picturesque place is naturally scenic and beautiful.

Yet, who would have thought that in the secluded forest, there lies a gigantic estate?

The estate backs onto the mountain and faces a lake, suggesting excellent feng shui, and without a guide, it's unlikely anyone could find this hidden place.

In the middle of the lake, there is a small island of modest size.

A villa is built on the island.

At present, the villa remains brightly lit.

Beside the fence of the empty area at the entrance, an umbrella is propped up.

Under the umbrella, there is a middle-aged man appearing around forty or fifty years old, leisurely fishing with a rod in hand.

A man and a woman stand behind him.

The man wears a white shirt and black trousers, with a stern expression, his eyes scanning around alertly.

The woman is dressed in a cheongsam.

She has an elegant figure and an attractive appearance.

Her eyes remain fixed on the middle-aged man.

Suddenly.

The tranquil surface of the lake ripples.

It isn't a fish biting the hook.

But rather, the ripples are from the nearby estate pier.

A speedboat has started up.

It quickly heads this way.

In just about one or two minutes.

The speedboat docks at the pier on the small island.

Another middle-aged man slowly disembarks from the boat, led by a man in a white shirt, to the fisherman.

Yet.

He doesn't speak or make any move, fearing to disturb the man fishing.

Finally.

The float shows movement.

The middle-aged fisherman pulls hard.

Perhaps too hastily.

The fish escapes the hook.

The middle-aged man suddenly loses interest and tosses the fishing rod aside.

At this moment, a young woman who was waiting nearby approaches and softly says, "Boss, Municipal Government Secretary General Hansel Levin has arrived."

The middle-aged man turns his head, glances at Hansel Levin.

Hansel Levin is full of nervousness, cautiously asking, "Mr. Carter, did I disturb your fishing?"

The man picks up a towel beside him, wipes his hands, and says, "Is the task I entrusted to you completed?"

"Rest assured, Mr. Carter, it's all taken care of. Mayor Hall has agreed to make a move regarding Noelle Meyer's issue."

Hansel Levin appears very afraid of Mr. Carter.

He doesn't dare to breathe loudly.

Mr. Carter nods slightly.

He waves his hand.

The woman in the cheongsam takes a briefcase from a rack and hands it directly to Hansel Levin.

Hansel Levin, upon seeing it, quickly says, "Mr. Carter, I feel bad accepting this."

"Take it, I don't like people being overly polite."

Mr. Carter says.

Upon hearing this.

Hansel Levin obediently accepts it.

He says, "Then I'll not refuse graciously, if there's nothing else, I won't disturb your fishing."

Just about to turn and leave.

Mr. Carter says, "Secretary General Levin, you've come a long way, it's late, take a rest here tonight before going back."

Before Hansel Levin can respond.

He continues, "Selene, arrange a room for Secretary General Levin and let him relax."

"Yes, boss."

The woman in the cheongsam nods slightly.

Then points to the speedboat and says, "Secretary General Levin, please follow me."

"Thank you, Mr. Carter, thank you very much, I won't disturb you further."

After saying this.

He follows the woman in the cheongsam back onto the speedboat.

After a brief roar.

The speedboat returns to the opposite shore.

Led by Selene, they head towards the estate's main building.

"Boss, if Colter Hall is preparing to make a move, should we make some preparations too?"

The young man standing behind Mr. Carter asks.

Mr. Carter's lips curl into a wicked smile.

He says, "I heard that Dirk Carter is quite clever, Astrid Giles and Alexis Lewis have both been ousted by him, I think there's no need to get involved, things will get heated, and once Noelle Meyer is embroiled in trouble, she naturally won't have the time to butt heads with us."

"Yes, boss, I know what to do."

The young man nods.

The focus returns to Hansel Levin.

He follows Selene into the lavish golden hall.

This isn't his first time here.

But the scene before him still leaves him amazed.

This isn't just an estate.

It's practically like a palace.

"Secretary General Levin, this way please."

Selene's words interrupt his amazement.

They enter the side elevator one after the other.

Selene in front, Hansel Levin follows.

From this angle, he can see Selene's graceful back and the long white legs exposed through the slit in her cheongsam.

There's no denying.

This Selene has a fantastic figure.

A naturally alluring body.

Hansel Levin can't help but think, if he could hold on to such a woman's leg and have a good tumble, it would be worth dying for.

With a ding.

The elevator doors open.

Selene extends her hand, politely letting Hansel Levin go out first.

After walking through a gilded corridor about ten meters long.

They arrive in front of a Baroque-style wooden door.

"Secretary General Levin, this is where you'll be resting tonight."

"Thank you, Miss Selene."

Hansel Levin responds and opens the door to enter.

The room is very lavishly decorated, and in front of the bed is a huge floor-to-ceiling window, through which you can see the distant lake view.

The scenic mountain and water are fully captured.

The mood couldn't be better.

Looking around the room.

The furnishings are unmistakably expensive European-style.

On the coffee table are wine, goblets, and even a whole box of Cohiba cigars.

Everything exudes the scent of money.

"Being rich is truly wonderful."

Hansel Levin can't resist sighing.

Just then, a gentle knock on the door is heard.

He knows that tonight's interesting program is about to begin.

"Come in."

After calling out.

Two young women dressed in kimonos walk in on small steps.

The two women, whether in attire, appearance, or figure, are identical, no need to guess, they're twins.

After they greet him with Japanese words.

Hansel Levin is taken aback.

He asks, "Are you Japanese?"

The two women smile softly.

They move forward, flanking Hansel Levin, and say in very clumsy Mandarin, "Sir, we two sisters are here to serve you for a bath."

Nothing needs to be done.

Just open your arms.

The sisters efficiently strip Hansel Levin bare.

Next.

Led by the two.

They arrive at a nearby door.

Upon opening it, it's an equally luxurious bathroom.

This bathroom is not an exaggeration to say, it's much larger than most people's living rooms.
