To Live Again, For the First Time!

"What is it that you recalled, hm?" Maverick stopped mulling over spilled milk.

"Oh right!" Margo felt like she was about to forget about this matter again if not for her father's timely reminder.

"The 2 business partners along with their assistants and Owen will be coming soon, but we don't really have a specific tour route around here. I wanted to ask for your opinion on how to go about this," Margo asked her father.

It was clear that she didn't bother making any plans of her own, having complete trust in Maverick's judgment.

In the end, this was still her father's farm, he knew this place the best.

Even her brother, who had been working hard for years so that he could properly inherit this place wouldn't say that he knew this place half as well as his own father.

This was the difference between one who built their own kingdom and the ones who inherit it.

As for Lennie, Margo's elder brother who was to inherit this farm, he was currently on a trip to and from a savanna in one of the countries in the M continent to transport a particular breed of ostrich, so Margo didn't bother him.

Maverick thought about it for a bit.

There were some areas where it was advised for one to stay away from if one had a weak heart, but as for real safety hazards, they could be dealt with before the people Margo invited came over.

"You can just tell Jackie to raise all the safety measures and ask Travis to deal with the manual safeguards. Other than that, the views here are quite nice, especially when you find them yourself, if your partners would like, they can just wander around on their own," Maverick casually said as if he were not letting strangers walk freely, unsupervised in his own home.

Well, it wasn't completely unsupervised as there were sensors everywhere on this island, controlled by Jackie, but if it were someone else, it would most likely be too close for comfort.

Then again, Maverick wasn't wrong, this place was like a treasure trove.

The idea was similar to how one would find that the novels one found on their own "by chance", were better or nicer to read as compared to those recommended by someone you know personally.

Of course, there was still the aspect of whether the novel was good enough in itself.

As for this farm, there was no need to doubt its particularity.

You really didn't know what you would find in the next corner unless you were very familiar with all areas, and that wasn't to say that things wouldn't change the next time you came around.

There were only a few places that remained in the same spot, such as the house at the center, other than that, where you would one day find the zebras, you might find the crocodiles instead.

Giving people a good heart attack.

Thankfully not many people came around in the first place.

But this was why Jackie was even more important, as he was one of the only ones that could always navigate the common areas, which would be especially essential to those who didn't know the area, or even what to expect.

"Mm, okay. They should get here around brunch, so we can eat something, and then they can look around," Margo nodded.

She also felt like that would be the only way these people would be able to get the full experience of coming here, and thus she agreed with her father with no delay.

She wanted Mason, Emilin, and the others to feel the true wonders of this place so that they would feel more attached to the project.

She had done business for a few years, and thus, she knew of the importance of cultivating emotions aside from the promised benefits so that they could have longer, healthier cooperations with skilled individuals.

That would be the ideal win-win situation.

As for Elijah, who had been sitting to the side and listening in, he was surprised to hear that other people were coming over.

This island, which hardly received visitors year-round, was receiving two batches of visitors one after another.

Himself being the first.

Of course, if Maverick heard Elijah's thoughts, he would surely raise both hands, being the first to disagree.

First of all, Elijah surely didn't act like a visitor at all, marching in as if he owned the place, and the main point was that he really wasn't a visitor but rather an intruder!

"Who are these people who are coming over?" Elijah asked, purely out of curiosity.

He cared just enough to ask about it.

But just as Margo was about to open her mouth to respond, Maverick beat her to it.

"What does it have to do with you! Go, go, don't bother us anymore!" Maverick said in a suppressed shout.

It gave off the vibes of wanting Elijah to get out of here as soon as possible and as quickly as humanly possible.

But of course, Elijah who had already decided to take the shameless route this time to achieve his goals wouldn't budge.

Just as an eerie silence was about to descend, Margo spoke.

"Then I won't disturb you two anymore, I'll head back to pick up mom first," Margo looked at the sparks that had flown between Elijah and her father and only had thoughts of leaving.

It was also a fact that she had been the one to intrude on the two, so she found nothing wrong with leaving at this moment.

Maverick of course disagreed intensely with such a thought, but he couldn't say anything as he watched his daughter leave.

Margo had softly shut the door behind her before the other two could even react.

…

There was a cold silence.

'Darling, I didn't mean you! I clearly meant for this kid to get out of here, why did you go instead?'

Speaking of which, Maverick turned around a gave Elijah a cold glare.

It was all his fault!

Elijah had a wry smile on his face as he wanted to fight this injustice and point out the differential treatment the other person was receiving.

But he could say nothing as he had a strong gut feeling that told him he wouldn't enjoy listening to the answer to that question.

Poor him.
