A Bit Too Big Of A Reaction

"What's wrong?" Chen Zhao frowned at Pierce South. He found this guy strange. He was overly smart.

"Trede Pempton's wealth."

"Where does he have more wealth?"

"You admit that you split his gold between the relatives of the victims?" Pierce grinned at Chen Zhao.

"I don't know what you're saying. If you don't need anything, please leave."

"Don't be so impatient. Listen to me. I'm not here for that. Who you give gold to has nothing to do with me, but I heard that you need money these days. You want to buy Mirror Lake and the land around it, right?"

"Mr. Pierce, you're really informed."

"It's not that big of a secret. Many people know about it. I don't even have to try hard to find out."

"Are you here to flaunt your connections?"

"Of course not. I told you that I want to work with you and find the rest of Trede's wealth."

"You mean that he split his gold in half?"

"Not gold. The other half is the art he collected."
