FULL NOVELXO Chapter 2824 Astonishing Changes In The Stubber Family Mansion
The news of the Keller family head committing suicide didn't stay hidden for long, and there were rumors that he was clutching a photo of Matthew before his death. Worman's death marked the complete downfall of the Kellers, who subsequently retreated from the public eye. Some people may have felt sympathy, but ultimately, Seraphis wouldn't be completely paralyzed due to the disappearance of one family. The outside world erupted in uproar as a family that had existed for centuries was wiped out by Matthew in less than a week. This battle alone prompted the outside world to reassess the rising Seraphis Great Commercial Union. However, the members of the union didn't pay much attention to Worman's death as they were busy acquiring all the assets under the Keller Family's name, resulting in substantial profits fo those involved.
A few days later, the highly anticipated celebration banquet was about to begin, which would also serve as the official founding ceremony of the union. The previous gathering had only been an internal consultation, so this public announcement ceremony was considered necessary.
Naturally, the venue chosen was the Stubber family mansion since Concordia was too underdeveloped to accommodate such a large banquet, with even its best hotel falling short. However, when Matthew and the crown prince arrived at the Stubber family mansion once again, they were stunned by the scene before them.
"Is this the Stubber family mansion?"
The crown prince seemed unsure, but after observing the nearby buildings, he confirmed that fact with a nod. It was mainly because the mansion had undergone significant changes. The once small place had been completely leveled, and the area had been expanded by seven or eight times. The most striking changes were the three large buildings that stood over ten meters high and about a hundred meters wide. From a distance, one could barely make out the figure of the Stubber family mansion, which appeared particularly small in comparison to the several buildings.
Not far away, Isambard, who was patrolling with his hands behind his back, noticed the astonished duo and couldn't help but wear a proud smile. Since the last union meeting, many people had complained about the size of the Stubber Family mansion, considering it unsuitable for holding meetings in the square. He had felt ashamed about this and had ordered the demolition of all the buildings, including the obstructive walls, except for the Stubber Family residence.
"Young Master Larson, your Majesty, what do you think of our newly built property?" Isambard approached the two of them and proudly introduced the new buildings. "This is a venue that can accommodate ter thousand people; this is a banquet hall; and this is a guest lounge, all capable of accommodating ten thousand people."
The crown prince, after recovering from his astonishment, swallowed and pointed to the building in front of him. "Isambard, how did you manage this?"
Having seen much of the world, the crown prince couldn't understand how these enormous buildings were constructed within half a month since the last meeting.
Isambard smiled mysteriously. "With workers, of course. For this project, I hired over thirty thousand construction workers who worked in shifts twenty-four hours a day."
Over thirty thousand people?
The labor costs alone would amount to several million, not to mention the construction costs. The crown prince couldn't help but give a thumbs up. "Isambard, you're generous! You've invested a lot in this banquet."
In response to the crown prince's praise, Isambard raised his chin, adjusted his collar, and nonchalantly replied, "It's just a small sum. How can we allow outsiders to look down on our family in Concordia? Besides, I've discussed a partnership with the Perryvalls to build a five-star hotel on the mountain behind the property."
The more he spoke, the more excited he became. It was all about maintaining his good reputation!
Matthew, who was standing nearby, listened and felt increasing admiration.
The headquarters of the Commercial Union had yet to be selected. All future major union gatherings and activities would be held in Concordia, which presented an opportunity for the Stubbers to make a name for themselves.
