Chapter 687 Unable To Restrain Himself

Josiah detailed his feelings of the day with particular care.

“On my way to see you, I had mentally prepared myself. After all, the concept of a mountain village had always been just a term to me, so no matter how unfamiliar the surroundings here were, I could accept them. But what truly stirred me was this town.”

“What do you mean?”

“This place is like an unfinished city. It has all the necessary amenities, not too backward but not too advanced either. It’s as if it’s in a transitional phase between a city and a village. Yet, everyone lives their lives with utmost sincerity.”

Although his encounter with them was brief, it felt as if he had stepped into another world.

Lysander chuckled. “I was all set to hear you evaluate the commercial potential of this place, but I didn’t. expect your response to be so full of humanistic concern.”

Josiah paused for a moment, then confessed, “I’ve always said that you’ve changed, but now it seems, I’ve changed quite a bit myself.”

He thought it was a good thing, but he wasn’t sure how Lysander would perceive it.

In the afternoon, the sun was obscured by dark clouds, indicating that rain was inevitable today.

The visitors who came for the festival were still in high spirits. Even the small vendors, who had just set up their stalls, had no plans to head home just yet. Such a lively atmosphere was a rare sight, and they were there to make a living.

Lysander casually observed everything around her and said, “It may sound a bit dramatic, but even though I’ve traveled to many places, when it comes to finding a place to call home, I still feel that a place like this. is my world.”

They were, after all, from two different worlds.

Josiah vaguely understood her what she was trying to convey. He replied, “Although our worlds are vastly different, they are not entirely without overlap.”

Lysander astutely sensed the underlying message in his words. “Are you planning to develop this area. yourself?”

“Yes,” Josiah replied seriously. “After observing for the past couple of days, I’ve found that the development potential here is greater than expected. Not only does it have picturesque scenery, but it also has a rather interesting local culture. The downside is that the supporting facilities are not quite up to par. Moreover, it would be better for me to develop this place rather than let Dillon continue his reckless actions.”

Once he got into work mode, he was incredibly focused. His profound eyes seemed as if they could hold the entire world.

Lysander admitted his exceptional business acumen. He was about to offer some advice from the
