America: The neighbor's wife is so incredibly hospitable!

The next morning.

When Chen An woke up, he could still feel that emperor-like sense of satisfaction filling his chest.

Sarah has already gone to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

She's the kind of person who doesn't care if she's exhausted from working out her back the night before.

The next day, she would still prepare hot coffee for her husband on time, a traditional and virtuous wife.

Jessica was still fast asleep.

The black lace dress looked like a flag of surrender, tossed onto the carpet next to the animal skin.

Chen An put on his bathrobe and walked to the window.

Downstairs, several heavy trucks loaded with black geomembrane and PVC pipes were driving into the farm.

Tie Tou was directing traffic with a group of security guards wearing tactical vests.

He also gave every passing driver a fierce look as a warning.

Don't look around, and don't park.

"Buzz buzz buzz".

The satellite phone on the bedside table vibrated.

It's Robert.

Good morning, Chen.

Robert's voice sounded refreshed.

"I heard you really angered that 'femme fatale' Ava yesterday?"

"After she got back, she went on a rampage in the mining union's internal group chat."

"They said they'd mobilize all the logistics companies in Montana so that you wouldn't be able to get even a single stone out of the country."

"Let her mobilize."

Chen An lit a cigarette. "My first batch of goods is ready."

"I don't think the Pentagon's transport planes are under the jurisdiction of the union, right?"

"Hahaha! That was a brilliant move of yours."

Robert laughed, "Now that it's labeled as a strategic material, no one will dare to block our way."

"By the way, Ava probably mentioned the 'Las Vegas Mining Summit' to you before she left... Are you planning to go?"

"Summit?"

Chen An recalled the woman's provocative gaze as she left.

"Of course I'll go." Chen An opened his mouth and exhaled a smoke ring.

"They've already issued a challenge right to my doorstep. If I don't accept it, wouldn't it make me look like I'm afraid of them?"

"very good."

Robert's voice became somewhat meaningful, "This summit is no ordinary event."

"It's an annual feast for mining giants, energy tycoons, and various capital brokers throughout the Western Hemisphere."

"In other words... a real den of iniquity and a gladiatorial arena."

"TerraPower, Silicon Valley Pioneers, and even some international buyers will be there."

"Ava Green will definitely have a trap waiting for you there."

"Chen, this isn't hunting in Montana, this is real cannibalism."

"Cannibalism?"

Chen An looked out the window at Zeus, who was tearing a piece of raw beef in the snow, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

"In this world, the roles of hunter and prey can often be reversed in the blink of an eye."

"When that time comes, it's still uncertain who will eat whom."

"Then let me arrange your itinerary first. This weekend, the private jet will be parked at Kalispel Airport."

"Remember to wear your best suit... and your female companion."

………………

After hanging up the phone, Chen An seemed lost in thought.

Las Vegas.

City of Sin.

That place is the ultimate melting pot of money and desire.

It is also the most suitable stage for a rising giant like "Titan Resources" to make its debut.

If Montana is his base, then Las Vegas is the runway where he shows his fangs to the world.

"An, dinner's ready."

Sarah's voice came from downstairs.

Chen An stubbed out his cigarette and turned to go downstairs.

On the table.

Sarah cooked oatmeal, baked bacon, and even fried the leftover fish fillets from yesterday.

"Who called just now?" Sarah asked casually as she served Chen Ansheng porridge.

"Robert, I'm going to Las Vegas this weekend," Chen An said.

As Jessica rubbed her sleepy eyes and was about to go downstairs in her pajamas, she heard the words "Las Vegas" and her ears perked up instantly, waking her up completely.

"Vegas?! You're going to Las Vegas?!"

Jessica jumped down the stairs, rushed to the dining table, braced herself on the table with both hands, and her eyes shone.

"I want to go too! Take me with you! Take me with you! That's my dream place!"

For a girl who used to frequent nightclubs and crave thrills, Las Vegas was practically Jerusalem.

Chen An smiled as he looked at her excited expression.

"I'm going there to discuss business, not for tourism."

"It's okay, I can be your secretary!"

Jessica puffed out her chest.

The neckline of her pajamas was a bit low, and the hickeys left from last night were clearly visible.

"Isn't it reasonable for an administrative secretary to accompany you?"

"And...and I can help you fend off drinks, and I can even warm your bed."

She spoke the last two words very softly, but everyone present understood perfectly.

Chen An looked at Sarah.

This is a test.

Sarah paused for a moment, then lowered her head and gently stirred the oatmeal in her bowl.

Although she was somewhat disappointed, she was a sensible woman.

"An, take her there."

Sarah raised her head, her eyes gentle yet firm.

"People can't do without us here. The wasabi in the greenhouse is ready for harvest, and the salt concentration in those salt-drying ponds needs to be monitored every day."

"And... those security guards, besides you, only I can keep them in check."

She was the true rear support.

She is the housekeeper of Titan Manor.

Chen An greatly appreciated this trust and sacrifice.

"it is good."

Chen An took Sarah's hand and kissed the back of it.

"I'm leaving the household to you."

"If you encounter something you can't handle, call Iron Head, or... just shoot."

Then he turned to Jessica, who was so excited she was about to jump for joy.

"If you're going, then don't embarrass me."

Chen An looked her up and down. "Leave all your punk clothes at home."

"Come with me to Missoula tomorrow. We need to buy a few outfits that will make a statement at those high-class banquets."

"Yes, sir!"

Jessica gave a somewhat awkward salute, then rushed over and hugged Chen An.

I love you! Even if you're a tyrant, I'll still love you!

………………

For the next two days, Titan Manor entered a state of full preparation.

The first phase of the "salt drying pond" project on the back mountain has been completed.

As the pumps roared, clear, cold, lithium-rich underground brine was continuously drawn up and then injected into the shallow pool covered with a black membrane.

Although evaporation is slow in winter, everyone looks forward to the layers of white "golden powder" precipitating out from the shimmering water.

Chen An then took Jessica to the largest shopping mall in Missoula.

Although it can't compare to New York or Paris.

But with money paving the way, Jessica could swipe her black card without even looking at the price tag, and her outfit was completely transformed.

A black backless evening gown, and a red silk high-slit long skirt.

There are also white fitted suits prepared for business occasions...

Each outfit was designed to bring out her unique charm, which lies between a young girl and a young woman.

………………

Friday morning.

Private helipad at Kalispel Airport.

A Gulfstream G650 business jet sat quietly on the runway.

The Aurora Group logo is printed on the fuselage.

Tie Tou drove his Raptor pickup truck and dropped Chen An and Jessica off at the gangway.

"Boss, have a safe trip."

Iron Head was still wearing sunglasses, and even when facing Chen An, his fierce demeanor remained unchanged.

"Don't worry about the family. Even if a fly flies in, I'll tear off its wings."

"Keep an eye on the house. When I get back, I'll give the brothers their bonuses."

Chen An patted Tie Tou on the shoulder, then took Jessica's hand and boarded the plane.
