HLM – Chapter 1035 The School Issue Is Settled

Uncle Bing and Gerald returned, and when Lancaster saw them, he was delighted. He embraced them and joked, “If you ever get married, remember to invite us to the royal wedding.”

“Of course. Eugenie and I will gather the old crew from back then. We absolutely must not leave until we’re drunk,” Lancaster said with a smile.

Gerald shrugged. “Change the program. ‘Not leaving until drunk’ can happen today too.”

Lancaster laughed. “Then let’s gather Eugenie’s sisters and give General Gerard a chance to pick a bride?”

Gerald spread his hands. “Spare me, buddy. I’ll go crazy around women. Better to find a few good dogs.”

After exchanging a few more words, Lancaster felt increasingly relieved. Clearly, Gerald’s psychological issues had been greatly alleviated—he was now willing to interact with friends.

“First, let’s train my Alaskans. These are all top-notch dogs I’ve worked hard to get,” Wang Bo said with a smile.

To participate in the Alaskan sled dog competition, he had specially acquired a batch of purebred Alaskan dogs, which were extremely valuable.

That afternoon, two Land Rovers quietly drove into Sunset Town. Wang Bo didn’t notice them; it was Uncle Bing who called to inform him: “Lancaster’s fiancée, Princess Eugenie, has arrived.”

Princess Eugenie is a prominent member of the British royal family, currently sixth in line for succession. This means that if the five siblings ahead of her were no longer alive, she could become Queen of the United Kingdom.

Of course, this scenario was highly unlikely. Unless a major war wiped out much of the royal family, such a situation wouldn’t occur.

Regardless, Princess Eugenie is a future candidate for the British throne, and wherever she goes in New Zealand, she must receive the most ceremonious reception.

It was unusual that such a distinguished guest arrived in Sunset Town without any official notification.

Wang Bo was about to go down to greet Princess Eugenie when he called Lancaster and learned: “No official reception is needed, Wang. We’re here to relax. It would be great if we could have dinner together tonight. This afternoon, we want to spend some time at the Glowworm Cave to experience the beauty of the underground starry sky.”

After hanging up, Wang Bo suddenly realized: When did the Glowworm Cave become so famous? Even British royalty had heard of it?

He checked online and was astonished to find that the Glowworm Cave had indeed become very popular. There were numerous reports and discussions on the town forum, Facebook, and travel websites.

One well-known New Zealand travel site, WalkNet, is famous in tourism circles. It was the first site in New Zealand to allow visitors to rate and review attractions.

On the homepage, there was a ranking list of attractions by score, and Sunset Town was listed, but the Glowworm Cave was not.

This was normal. To prevent malicious rating manipulation, attractions with fewer than 10,000 ratings wouldn’t appear on the main ranking.

He then navigated to a sublink, and the top name there pleasantly surprised him: Sunset Town Glowworm Cave!

In the sublink rankings, only the scores mattered, and attractions with more than 100 ratings could make the list.

Currently, the Glowworm Cave had over 150 ratings, all perfect scores, and many well-known travel enthusiasts had left comments, adding credibility to the ratings.

Although the number of ratings was small, the website also provided a ranking of the number of people who wanted to visit an attraction.

The Glowworm Cave’s number was staggering: 500,000 votes.

This indicated the cave’s enormous potential.

Browsing further, Wang Bo found many news articles and discussions about the Glowworm Cave. There was also much skepticism, since no photos existed to prove the cave’s authenticity.

While casually checking the forums, he found a post titled: Princess Appears with Husband, Glowworm Cave Shines Brightly.

Wang Bo was surprised. Had Lancaster and Princess Eugenie just arrived at the cave entrance, and someone had already photographed and posted it?

He didn’t click on it immediately but called Uncle Bing: “Escort the princess and her party into the Glowworm Cave. Someone has spotted them—be careful.”

Uncle Bing replied efficiently: “Understood. Already accompanying them.”

From afternoon until evening, Wang Bo finally saw the princess and her husband. They spent four hours inside the Glowworm Cave, two hours for each viewing session.

When Wang Bo received them at the castle, Princess Eugenie still looked enchanted. “Thank God, there is such beauty in the human world.”

“If there is heaven on earth, it must be in Sunset Town,” Lancaster said sincerely.

Wang Bo smiled modestly. “Princess, that’s too kind. The Glowworm Cave is indeed charming, but it still pales compared to God’s miracles.”

“Actually, Sunset Town itself is a miraculous place. It has one of only two castles in New Zealand, its development pace is incredible, the local beef, lamb, and poultry taste unbelievably good, and now there’s this underground starry sky!” Princess Eugenie praised without reservation.

Indeed, the rapid development of Sunset Town amazed everyone. Many might believe a deity protected this land, especially since Wang Bo seemed to be supernaturally accelerating the town’s growth.

Since the royal couple was visiting Sunset Town, this wasn’t just Lancaster seeing friends. Although they came discreetly, it was understood they would stay in Sunset Town for several days.

They claimed to be on vacation, but they had already been in New Zealand long enough that it was hard to believe they had no other purpose.

During dinner, Princess Eugenie continued to praise Sunset Town, noting that in just four years it had transformed from a desolate area into a bustling town—a feat worthy of human history.

Wang Bo modestly replied, but Lancaster added, “No need to be modest, Wang. You’ve done an outstanding job. Compared to my last visit, the town has changed drastically, with most public welfare projects completed.”

Wang Bo said, “Only partially. Sunset Town still has a long way to go. For example, we don’t yet have a large shopping center, and we don’t even have a high school. The children’s schooling issue hasn’t been solved.”

Hearing this, Princess Eugenie put down her knife and fork. “Sunset Town doesn’t have a high school?”

Wang Bo replied, “Yes. As you know, Princess, New Zealand’s high schools are mostly public. Establishing a new public school here would require too much talent. If we want a private high school, it would have to be run by the ACG Group, which is very costly.”

Princess Eugenie pondered for a moment. “I think we can help the town solve this problem.”
