And so did Byrum and Hannah.
Meanwhile, Bryson and Brayden were far from surprised at receiving the invitation.
“I told you this guy had a backup plan. See? It really isn’t government-owned land!” Brayden clicked his tongue and shook his head.
He fiddled with the invitation and added, “He sure has a voracious appetite. Isn’t he afraid of biting a little more than he can chew?”
Bryson glanced at the invitation on his desk.
“Since it was finally announced that he is a private seller, do you think we can find the person behind all of this?”
“Oh, there’s no need to launch an investigation.” Brayden held up his hands and shrugged.
“The real estate landscape in Beachholt is practically monopolized by the Compton family. But most of their projects are based abroad. They haven’t been that active in the domestic screen in recent years. I wonder why they suddenly decided to sell the land in the East district.”
“The Compton family…” Bryson paused and looked up at Brayden.
“Who are these people?”
“Oh, good on you for asking the right person.” Brayden leaned back against the sofa and proceeded with his explanation.
“The Compton family made their fortune in real estate right here in Beachholt.
They used to dominate the domestic market, but later branched out overseas. I heard that the head of their family is still abroad even now. His two sons stayed here, though they don’t show up in public too often. By all rights, they’re just another couple of rich businessmen.”
Their background sounded straightforward enough. It was even simpler than Brayden’s.

But for the Compton family to put up the land for sale without so much as a warning… It was very strange.
Given the circumstances, the land in question should be worth five times more than its original worth. For most, that equated to two lifetimes of fortune.
Selling it during these times was a bold but foolish move. There was no rhyme or reason to it.

Bryson’s eyes darkened as his mind raced, but he said nothing.
“Don’t think about it too much. For all we know, those two sons probably ran out of money and are merely looking to liquidate their assets.”
Bryson raised an eyebrow at Brayden, his tone laced with disgust when he said, “Even a fool knows that the land’s value would only multiply in the future. They must have a good reason for wanting to sell it now.”
Brayden scratched the back of his head and considered it for a moment.
“Maybe they’re just stupid?”
Silence filled the room as Bryson stared at Brayden like the latter had lost his mind.
“I do envy your simple mind every now and then.”
