Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard)
Chapter 97

Chapter 97 Storm

I was aware of the ergent situation, so immediately returned to my room and packed up. Then, told Jean that she was to go on a business trip with me

Chad already contacted all the suppliers in the state, and sure enough, none of them could provide us with such a large quantity of materials. So, I had no choice but to venture out of the state.

Leonard wouldn't let me go alone at first, but Luca kept causing trouble. Several projects ran into trouble thanks to Luca's meddling, so in the end, Leonard had no choice but to Sadly, even after checked out the neighboring states, only a factory or two had small quantities of supplies to spare. This would Increase the cost, so it wouldn't be worth the

I was at a loss when received a call from Zack. He had found some supplies, and the price was extremely low to

"Butthe supplies are in Wilderton, which would make the transportation fees a little higher. It's also quite a hassle to transport goods in that area.

"It's your first time partnering with this company, so I'm sure you'll want to check the goods in person. When will you be available?"

wilderton was riddled with mountain roads, which was the route we had to take if we were to get large amounts of construction materials transported from there. The transportation fees would indeed be quite high

1 calculated the price of the goods along with the transportation and loss costs. I decided that it was still worth a shot.

"Zack, please help me contact the supplier. I'd the to go over there and take a look."

"Sure. I've also established a partnership with them beforehand, so let's go together. See you at the airport tomorrow.

Before I could decline, Zack ended the call

I wanted to ask him on WhatsApp, but in the end, I lowered my phone.

It would be quite reassuring to have a familiar face around if I were to visit such mountainous arrad."

After a tough journey, we finally made it to Wilderion. It was only then that I realized why transporting goods would be such a hassle. The mountain roads were difficult to traverse. After abus ride, we had to travel by tractor for more than an hour to get to the factory By the time we arrived, Jean and I almost vomited our stomachs mut

tractors now, but back when we didn't have any, I'm afraid you won't be able to get in at

The driver en grinned at us "You'll get better after throwing up several times. We have tractors

There was indeed a mine here, and the place was also big mough. The labor costs were low as well However, it would be too difficult to transport the goods via the route we traveled just now.

just when I was feeling a betle hesitant, Zack supported me.

"They do indeed provide good materials, and they have support from the government too. It's not a bad idea to establish a long-term partnership with them.

"Brightwave Group doesn't need too many supplies for now. If it weren't for that fact, I would've signed a contract with this supplier a long time ago. If they transport the materials to two companies at the same time, the transportation fees can be halved. What do you think? Inodded at him gratefully.

Actually, I was aware that Brightwave Group didn't require that many supplies, so they didn't need to come this far for supplies

Still, when I checked the materials provided was indeed very satisfied with the quality.

They were offering goods of the same quay at half the usual price. Even if they increased the transportation foes a little, I would still replace it acceptable.

When I got on a video call with Leonard at night, he was obvioushupset

"Are you staying in a makeshift house right now? Does the wind and rain get in? There are also wolves and bears out there, right? I heard that even the spiders there are bigger than your shoes"

1 said in experation, "With how rapi

technology is advancing these days, can't you have a tle more faith in mountainous areas?

He smiled sheepishly. Then, he stared intently at the screen.

He finally sighed in relief when he spotted Jean.

"Becefaloutthere, okay? The factory offers quite a decent price, but for long-term partnerships, it would be better if they can handle the wansport..."

Leonard and I shared slideas. We couldn't possibly come over every time we needed materials. It would be both troublesome and time-consuming.

However, by the looks of it, producing materials and getting partnerships was already exhunting all of the manufacturer's resources. They probably couldn't get around to fixing the dirt road anytime soon.

I discussed with Leonard the prospect of fixing the roads and haggling the prices while we were at it. Just then, Zack knocked on the door.

"Ew, are you guys asleep?"

Lennard's sleepy eyes Instantly widened. He looked at me furiously.

"You didn't want me to go with you, but you went with him instead?"

Jean had already opened the door, and the phone camera happened to capture must of Zack's figure

1 looked at Leonard in exasperation. "I wouldn't have found this factory without Zack, and we wouldn't have *

Suddenly my phone went offline. No matter how many times I tried to call back, there was no signal.

Iran was watching short videos on her phone, but her phone suddenly lost connection as well.

"Is the signal here this terribile? Don't they have Winthere?

I was about to try aden when a storm was suddenly upon us. It started to san hewly without any warning, and the lights in the coons flachevestor a bit betare going out
