Chapter 309 Lan Ling’s Plan

Lan Ling smiled with anguish. “I know that you will kill me, but what I just told you was nothing but the truth. The Hidden Lan Family has a magical pearl which they had initially assumed was a treasure, but failed to use it even after several years’ worth of attempts. And so, they turned to science and technology, capturing more than a dozen scientists to help them study the pearl. The scientists finally came to the conclusion that the pearl had been created using technology that they’d never seen before, and claimed that they needed a complete science and technology park to even stand a chance at unraveling its code,” she disclosed.
Lu Chen’s cocked a brow and inquired, “Then why don’t they just build their own science and technology park? Shouldn’t it be a simple matter for the Hidden Lan Family?”
“Because some of the other, major hidden families have guessed that the Lan Family has a magical pearl. They can’t very well build a science and technology park openly, or it would be as good as shouting that they do indeed have the pearl,” Lan Ling explained. “Besides, all the other major science and technology parks belong to the world’s greatest countries, and the Lan Family has no inclination to work with them.”
