NovelEnglishChapter 1443 Retribution for the Wrays
The Chamber of Commerce members tried to calm Kenton down. "It must be a significant policy. Otherwise, the
meeting wouldn't be taking this long."
"Exactly, Mr. Way. Don't worry. It's probably inconvenient for Mr. Calico to answer the phone now."
People had to turn their phones off once a conference started, after all. Kenton understood this. What he didn't
understand was why even Skyler wasn't answering his phone. "Fine! We'll wait a little longer!"
But it was already noon. They all had their own companies to manage, and waiting out here while starving felt
very degrading.
However, when they thought about what they were about to get their hands on, they suddenly felt much better.
They were all continuously reassuring each other, convincing themselves the conference hadn't ended yet.
It wasn't until someone of the srank as Alejandro cout with a lunchbox that their faces darkened. "Mr.
Vox, where are you headed? Has the conference ended?"
Kenton was known as the philanthropist in the city and a frequent visitor to their office. Hence, Kairo Vox wasn't
overly formal.
"The conference ended a while ago. Mr. Rhode has already left. Why are you waiting here, Mr. Wray?" Ended?
Kenton suddenly realized something and asked urgently, "What about Mr. Calico? Where is he?"
"Oh, him? The policy has been applied to the land he signed off on. He's probably celebrating right about now."
The way Kairo spoke was very intriguing. It was the kind of remark that could only cfrom someone from

their line of work. It left people unable to decipher his real meaning.
He didn't say it was the land Kenton had gotten. Instead, he pointed out that the policy was applied to the land
Alejandro had signed off on.
Kenton was brimming with overconfidence when he heard this and assumed Kairo was delivering good news. He
immediately burst into laughter. "Well, Mr. Calico must be really busy! It's a big deal, after all!"
"It certainly is," Kairo, a sly fox, responded with a knowing smile. "Well then, gentlemen, please continue waiting.
I'm off to get my lunch."
"Go right ahead." Kenton tried to maintain his gentlemanly demeanor.
However, in Kairo's eyes, Kenton was nothing more than a blood-sucking capitalist preying on ordinary citizens.
The Wray family's previous land acquisitions were marred by controversy.
There was an incident where they forcibly demolished a newlywed couple's house and broke the groom's leg. In
the end, they didn't even compensate them. Instead, they turned the situation around and accused the victim of
initiating the conflict.
Ordinary people stood no chance against someone with the Wray family's wealth and influence. Legal battles
would get dragged on. Worse yet, the Wrays had Alejandro as their protector.
The usual rhetoric was, "So what? What can you do about it? You can't send the people financing the city's
development to jail! Those foolish commoners don't understand the law. It's probably because they lack proper
education.”
Every tKairo heard such statements, it boiled his blood. He had tried to report the corruption, but they
never seemed to reach the higher-ups. It was as if someone was intercepting the complaints.
Most in the Bureau of Land Management knew about the shady deals between Alejandro and the Wray family.
They'd orchestrated this entire land plot to trap the Quinnel family, who had cfrom Kingbourne.

Feeling rather cheerful, Kairo treated himself to an extra plate of bacon.

Alejandro figured that he could sneak out through the side entrance. He even changed his outfit to avoid being
recognized.
