CATASTROPHE CARD KING

Chapter 731: Chapter 237 People from the X Bureau_5

“This…”

Vera Williams seemed to think of something and then said, “I believe it might still be because of that treasure map.”

She glanced at Leonard Churchill’s puzzled expression and explained, “Federation law stipulates that the ownership of newly developed mining areas must be registered to avoid disputes. The gold mine that Count Fremont and Councilor Boen are fighting over is actually due to a problem with ownership. It’s said that Count Fremont’s prospecting team discovered the gold mine first and was preparing to register it. However, the news was supposedly leaked. Councilor Boen sent people to mine it first, showing actual mining activity. Of course, both parties claim they discovered it first. Then the conflict arose, and to avoid such situations, the Federation also enacted some laws. As long as you are the first to register with the Federal Parliament, there won’t be any dispute over the mine vein’s ownership.”

“…”

Leonard Churchill only then learned that the Federation had such regulations.

Although he had read extensively before, he had no interest in these legal provisions and hence hadn’t read them.

Vera Williams laid out her plan, saying, “The Federal Government operates on a pioneering system and encourages Lords to independently discover and excavate new mineral layers. The current situation is that this region has decent iron and silver mines, which the Bolton barony’s family is mining, and they are the only legal Lord. So even if I eventually find the ownerless Green Copper and Mithril Vein indicated on the treasure map, there will inevitably be a conflict over ownership. But it just so happens that the Bolton family’s finances have been problematic for a while, with intentions to sell assets to cover debts. I heard about this news from an agent, so recently I’ve been… considering buying this Mechanical City and the adjacent mining rights.”

As she spoke towards the end, she started to falter a bit.

Her official reason for coming here was to operate a Commerce Guild and establish a factory, but in reality, she came for the Bolton family’s industries.

The kind-hearted Miss Williams secretly glanced at Leonard Churchill, as if she felt that such business tactics were somewhat underhanded.

Leonard Churchill just smiled, giving her a look of approval.

He didn’t see anything wrong with it.

In this Underground world, there’s no such thing as borders, it’s vast like it’s boundless, and the mine veins are ownerless.
