The call came from the manila hemp plantation on the Min Lan Old Island. The reason the plantation manager was calling at this time was that he, as a manager, couldn't make a decision about certain things and needed Leonard Ethan's approval.
According to the manager, the weather forecast predicted that this year's typhoon season might be worse than previous years. Therefore, additional funds were needed to repair and reinforce the plantation's drainage system and houses.
Considering he had not visited the property since acquiring it, Leonard Ethan decided to seize this opportunity to inspect the plantation and assess the situation first hand.
After all, the approval from Egypt's side might take several months, and in the meantime, Leonard Ethan planned to find something else interesting to do.
