Chapter 41 The bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish

After regaining some strength, Simon cupped his hands respectfully and bowed deeply toward Arius, his face full of reverence.

"Thank you, Patriarch."

He straightened and began his report, recounting the details of the silver mine discovery without missing a single point.

"Patriarch, the estimated yield of this silver mine is two hundred billion taels of silver."

"But the problem is… news of the mine has already spread far and wide."

"Within two or three days at most, survey teams from various factions will arrive at Lunford Town."

"The most troublesome of them all is Blood Wolf Hall!"

"If Blood Wolf Hall discovers the scale of this silver mine, not only will our De Molinos family fail to secure even a single tael of silver, but we might also lose our entire sphere of influence around Lunford Town to them…"

As he spoke, Simon's face reflected his utter helplessness.
