Wow! My wife is beautiful and obedient, everyone envies her!

The headquarters of the Federal Police Department is in Juecheng.

Although the Federal Police Department was suppressed like a docile kitten by the four major families, its headquarters in Juecheng was grand and imposing because it had always done its job obediently and had not caused too much trouble for the four families.

Noah's car was parked in front of the Federal Headquarters gate. As soon as he got out of the car, Sheriff Pullman immediately came to greet him.

“Mr. Noah, you’re right on time. You arrived at the exact moment, not too early and not too late.”

Noah remained unmoved by Pullman's flattery. "The others haven't arrived yet?"

“Miss Sera from the Milne family just arrived recently; the Leopold and Clarence families haven’t arrived yet.”

Noah didn't ask any more questions and went into the conference room.

In the spacious conference room, sunlight streamed in through the windows, falling on the green plants in the corner.

Sera sat in her chair, looking around boredly. Behind her sat five employees in suits, their faces serious.

Noah immediately caught Sera's eye as soon as he entered the conference room. Seeing that Noah was only followed by Kyle, she mocked, "Bringing only one person? People who come to a meeting for the first time are inexperienced."

"You clearly read the information and documents beforehand, so you should be confident about today's auction. Why did you bring so many people? Is it because you're too stupid to remember all that information?" Noah asked sarcastically.

Sera's expression changed; she was somewhat angry, but didn't immediately lash out. She continued to mock, "You've recently taken in two male concubines at home. Are you alright? Are you sure you really have that kind of memory, or did you actually not like any of the items auctioned today?"

"Stop meddling in my private affairs. If you're so concerned, what did you have for breakfast today? Should I tell you?"

Sera scoffed, "Speaking of what to eat? Your male concubine seems to have made quite a bit of money from my restaurant."

Speaking of the restaurant, Sera still harbors resentment. Her profitable restaurant was swindled away, and she originally thought that even if the other party took the restaurant, they wouldn't make much money.

As a result, after the restaurant was renovated, business boomed.

Seeing the other party making money from what used to be their restaurant was no different from stabbing Sera in the back.

"You're too kind. Ah Yuan does have a better business sense than you." Noah said with a half-smile, a hint of smugness in his eyes.

Sera was speechless after hearing his words. No matter what she said, Noah could immediately refute her, and his rebuttals were incredibly harsh!

Sera could have added a few more attacks, but Noah's mouth was so sharp that continuing wouldn't necessarily be advantageous, so it was best to avoid arguing.

Before long, members of the Leopold family and the Clarence family also entered.

The Leopold family representative, Dunlop, was the leader, followed by six other Leopold family employees.

The eldest son of the Clarence family, Levi Clarence, was the one who came.

He was followed by six Clarence family employees.

Everyone familiarly found their seats and sat down. These seats had been assigned long ago. Noah of the Davis family, the head of the four major families, was sitting in the main seat, which controlled the direction of the meeting.

Noah's expression was cold and devoid of emotion; his stern face displayed the arrogance and authority of a superior.

Pullman was the last to walk in. He looked at the tense atmosphere in the conference room, subconsciously wiped his sweat, and sat in the position that symbolized the weakest position.

He greeted everyone with a smile, "Welcome, esteemed family heads, for your arduous journey..."

“Wait, Levi isn’t the head of the Clarence family yet.” Dunlop turned to look at Levi. “Why didn’t your father come? Did he think he wouldn’t get a single frosty piece of cream in this ‘cake-sharing’? Was he afraid of losing face, so he sent you?”

Clarence is the last of the four great families, so Dunlop can only bully families ranked slightly lower than himself.

He can't bully the two above him.

Levi looked at him calmly. "This 'cake' isn't pretty or tasty. Father said he didn't want to spend time on it. He only sent me here to keep our agreement."

"That means the Clarence family can't afford today's 'cake'," Dunlop continued to tease.

Levi's expression turned cold, and he didn't say anything more.

The atmosphere in the meeting room suddenly became awkward. Pullman chuckled and said, "If you two have finished speaking, then I will continue. I've troubled you all today with the documents that were sent to you a week ago. Let's start by discussing the ranch in the Santa Cassia Mountains. The owner is unable to repay a debt of 20 million, so he's selling the ranch. Currently, there are 3,000 sheep and 2,000 teats on the ranch, with an estimated value of around 10 million. I wonder if any of you family heads would be willing to take over this ranch?"

Today's meeting is actually about getting the four major families to buy up some companies, ranches, and farms that have gone bankrupt and can no longer operate.

This is a common practice in the North Continent. After all, some of the companies and ranches that are not affiliated with the four major families initially built their businesses with bank loans.

When a company becomes bankrupt due to mismanagement or other reasons and the bank cannot recover its money, the bank will ask the Federal Police to convene a meeting of the four major families to see who is willing to take over these companies.

Once someone is willing to take over these companies, they must repay the debts owed by the other party and obtain permanent operating rights. The federal police department that does this for the banks will also receive a small commission.

Some of these companies that have declared bankruptcy still have profit value, while others have no profit value at all, so buying them is equivalent to losing money.

That's why Sera and others brought so many employees to assess the value of the company and predict whether it was worth buying.

Such meetings are also known as 'cake-sharing' because if the cake is divided well, it can be a real windfall.

“I want the ranch in Saint Cassia,” Noah was the first to answer.

Sera looked at him with displeasure. "Your Davis family already has several ranches, what do you need more ranches for?"

Actually, it's not difficult to set up a ranch and buy and raise sheep.

The difficulty lies in finding a good location.

Mount Santa Cassia is located in the coldest part of the North, with short winters, lush vegetation, and abundant water resources, making it an ideal place for grazing.

They came here today mainly for this 'cake'.

“If you want it, just buy it. What’s so strange about that?” Noah said matter-of-factly.

His words angered everyone present, leaving them speechless for a moment.

Pullman was pleased to see them arguing like this and smiled, "Ms. Sera, if you also like this ranch, why don't we do the old thing and have an auction? The highest bidder wins."

Pullman's eyes crinkled with delight.

What he looks forward to most is the auction process; the higher the price, the more commission they can collect.
