Time flies.

Lu Fan, accompanied by lawyers Hua Lin and Hua Chuan, arrived at the signing venue agreed upon with Pierce.

"Mr. Lu!"

"This is the Sarawak Notary Office, and they will act as witnesses for this contract. You can rest assured about that!"

Pierce introduced the people behind him.

He cared more about this collaboration than Lu Fan did.

“Of course I believe in Mr. Pierce’s sincerity!”

"Now that everyone's here, let's begin!"

Lu Fan was decisive; once the contract was signed, Muska Lake would officially belong to him.

Fifty years is enough.

"These are our requests, Mr. Lu, please take a look!"

The lawyer behind Pierce handed him a contract.

At the same time, Hua Lin handed over the first draft of the contract to the other party.

The two contracts were very similar, differing mainly in minor details.

Pierce didn't care about Lu Fan's request and readily agreed.

He's only thinking about getting Lu Fan to invest in Mustakocso, boosting the local economy, and increasing tax revenue; nothing else matters.

They did not carefully consider the contract provided by Lu Fan.

"I've reviewed the contract, and there are no problems. Attorney Hua, please draft the contract!"

Lu Fan turned to Hua Lin beside him and said.

Soon, with both lawyers present, the final draft of the contract was delivered to Lu Fan and Pierce.

After exchanging a glance with Pierce, a contract that would determine the development of Mustakoc for the next fifty years was signed, witnessed by the Shat Notary Office.

In order to ensure that the contract would take effect quickly and be legally recognized, Lu Fan did not hesitate at all and immediately transferred five hundred million US dollars.

"Mr. Pierce, the money has been transferred through the Jiang Group's overseas account!"

"It's a pleasure doing business with you!"

Pierce stood up, grabbed Lu Fan's hand, and said excitedly.

He hadn't expected Lu Fan to be so generous; he had just signed the contract and already wired the money.

The huge weight on my heart has finally been lifted.

Little did Pierce know that Lu Fan had already prepared the money two days earlier.

And they raised a full three billion US dollars!

Once the money was in place, the contract regarding the ownership of Mustakocake officially came into effect!

"Notarized by the Sarawak Notary Public Office, this contract is effective immediately!"

The signing of the contract concluded with an announcement from the notary office.

"Wait! I disagree!"

Just as everyone was immersed in the joy of the successful signing, a very unfriendly voice rang out from the main entrance of the venue!

Everyone looked towards the gate, and there came Amul!

Leading a large group of people, the Crown Prince of Satyabrook walked towards the center of the venue with an imposing presence.

"You disagree?"

Pierce stared coldly at Amul.

Taking advantage of his status as crown prince, he has repeatedly trampled on me. Does he think he is Pierce or a pushover?

"Yes, I disagree!"

"If General Pierce could sell Muska Tso for five hundred million dollars, why can't I compete for it?"

Although he was speaking to Pierce, his gaze remained fixed on Lu Fan.

He had people dig thousands of holes, each about a hundred meters deep, in Muska Lake, even penetrating thick rock layers, before discovering its secret.

They finally understood why Lu Fan was so attached to Mustak Lake, even if it meant risking the entire Mustak Lake area.

According to expert estimates, that huge oil field could rank among the top ten in terms of reserves in the Sarawak oilfields.

Who wouldn't be tempted?

Upon receiving the news, he immediately led his team to the signing ceremony.

Pierce was willing to part with it, but Amul was not!

"Oh, I see. Well, I'm sorry, Your Highness Amul, you're late!"

Pierce said sarcastically, raising his proud head high like a victorious rooster.

"What? The contract has already been signed?"

Amule's eyes widened to the size of saucers as he stared at Pierce with an incredulous expression.

How could such a big deal be decided so hastily!

Standing to the side, Lu Fan smiled and quietly watched Amul.

Without a doubt, judging from Amul's expression, he already knew about the oil field.

I can't help but feel a little fortunate that I was lucky!

"As far as I know, the contract is not officially in effect until the money is paid!"

"I'll offer a billion US dollars, and I'll cover the penalty for breach of contract!"

"Pierce, how's it going!"

Amule seemed to have grasped the key point, looking at Pierce and saying.

He didn't believe Pierce could resist such a temptation!

"I've already apologized for being late, why won't you listen?"

Although Amul's offer was somewhat tempting, he didn't believe that a crown prince would actually give him so much money.

Moreover, once Lu Fan transferred the money, everything was already set in stone.

It's no longer a simple matter of breach of contract penalties.

Amule was stunned. The situation was already clear: Pierce had received the remittance from Lu Fan.

A remittance of 500 million US dollars arrived so quickly.

Amul then realized that they had all been tricked by Lu Fan, who had made all the preparations long ago.

Pierce felt a surge of secret pleasure seeing Amuller get his comeuppance.

Serves you right for being so arrogant! Serves you right for being so cocky!

"Now that the matter is settled, Mr. Pierce, I'll be taking my leave!"
