The Queen They Buried

Tried 550

Chapter 550

Aubree, Bowen, and Vincent had made their plans for the next day. Vincent would talk to David about buying fruit, while Aubree and Bowen would pay a visit to the last holdout in town.

As they had gone straight to Ridgehaven Town right after landing, all three of them were exhausted.

Aubree advised Vincent to get some rest, and after she and Bowen washed up, they lay down on their beds right away.

Although Mistmere wasn’t as developed as Rithol City, its environment was far better. At night, from their hotel high above, no neon lights or bustling nightlife could be seen outside the window; it was just the silvery moonlight that was as gentle as water.

Bowen hugged Aubree from behind and asked, “Bree, have you been thinking about how to revamp Ridgehaven Town for a while now?”

“Mhm,” she answered softly.

“The fruit orchards in Ridgehaven Town are something special. There’s no need to get rid of all of them and we can definitely keep some.

“The environment here is perfect for turning the entire village into a vacation spot. And honestly, if there are people who don’t want to leave, we don’t have to force them to,” she added.

Right now, the folks in Ridgehaven Town basically fell into two camps. Some were just holding out for more money, sticking around and waiting for a better offer. The others truly cared about this land and simply didn’t want to leave.
