Just then, Faron said, "Joy Corp might not have any evidence that Cape or the authorities can get a hold of, but it's undeniable that Jordan framed Cape and Dorson killed him for it. Based on that alone, Joy Corp's going to have to slip something good our way if they don't want Cape to hound them for what happened. They can't afford any more trouble as this could affect their company and land them in a serious crisis. Wilbur's right." Elsa understood at once and nodded along. "This will be good for Cape, then." "That's all thanks to Wilbur. If Dorson managed to escape after his assassination, both sides would've been in a tie and Joy Corp would have no reason to let up. They might even be smug about it," Faron said. Elsa shrugged, shaking her head. "I'm not as business-minded as the likes of you." Faron's expression darkened at once. "What's wrong with being business-minded? Is your mind any better?" "Are you calling me stupid?" Elsa fumed in retaliation. Wilbur sensed a fi
Wilbur nodded. "That's the way to go. Battling it out is only a last resort. You've got the right idea." "We'll let them go this time. Say, shouldn't we celebrate such a big win?" Faron asked. Faye smiled. "Sure! This one's on Cape, let's have some fun." "Woohoo!" Faron and Elsa cheered at the same time. Wilbur smiled. It was nearly impossible for anyone to ask these two out any other day. However, they had been so enthusiastic and sincere in helping him, he could tell that they could be trusted now. Just then, Jose showed up out of nowhere. Wilbur let him in. "Sir, I've got something to tell you." Jose glanced at the other people around and hesitated. "It's just us. Get on with it," Wilbur said. Jose said. "Okay, then. Marcus sent me a hundred million dollars and told me to pass it to you as thanks for saving him." Faron and Elsa buried their heads into their mugs of tea. Wilbur's life was far too mysterious, and the two of them knew better than to question it too
Wilbur shook his head. It was clear that the guy had a bit too much to drink and was not thinking straight. What a pervert. Faron frowned in annoyance as well. Elsa shouted, "Go home if you've had too much to drink! Don't get yourself into trouble for nothing." Faye rested her head on Wilbur's shoulders, giggling softly. The man was infuriated by the harsh rejection. Before he could even say anything, two other men came up behind him and said, "How dare you! Do you even know who he is?" "I don't give a f*ck who he is. Get out of my way," Elsa said coldly. One of the guys got angry at once. "This here Mister Leon from the Bureau of Commerce and Trade! How dare you speak to him like this?" "Is that so? Big deal." Elsa was clearly annoyed now. The men, who were all significantly tipsy, were all the more enraged. After all, they had just been humiliated in public and caught the attention of many. The man named Mister Leon sneered coldly. "Listen up. No one gets away aft
If that guy really was related in any way to the Campbells, Leon would be done for. He scrambled up to Faron and the rest, kneeling on the ground. "Please, I'm sorry. It's my fault. I should've known who I was talking to. I'm really sorry. Please let me go." "Get out of the way. Don't be a nuisance here. I'm in the middle of my dinner," Faron said coldly. Leon immediately knew there was no point in begging any further. If he had kept on doing that, he might suffer a fate worse than just losing his job. He got to his feet and offered a deep bow to Faron and the rest, apologizing one last time before fleeing with his men in panic. The sight left everyone else in the restaurant stunned. This woman was an incredible fighter, and that guy had gotten those hooligans to apologize on their knees just like that? Who were these people? Just then, Elsa glanced at the server and asked, "Is the room ready?" The server nodded weakly, and the four of them entered the room at last to g
The person held a suitcase in his right hand and had his left arm wrapped in bandages, standing there straight like a board. Wilbur looked at him and was taken aback, asking, "Ryder?" He quickly crossed the bridge and approached Ryder. He looked at his arm and asked, "How did you manage to get here so quickly?" "Ryder Litwing, elite combat personnel of the Department of Paranormal Research and Defense, reporting in," Ryder said as he saluted with a standard military gesture. Wilbur looked at the vehicle behind him, then frowned and asked, "What's the meaning of this?" "This is equipment from our branch, and there are a few staff members as well," Ryder explained. "How did you know I was staying here?" Wilbur asked. "The Commander-in-Chief issued orders to the relevant departments in Kardon Province. That's how I was informed," Ryder responded. Wilbur was speechless. 'It must be Orin's doing!' he thought. However, he was shocked by the extensive authority of the Depa
Four staff members began installing the equipment. A circular radar was installed on the roof and various machines were set up within the room. "What are these things?" asked Wilbur. Ryder replied, "A satellite signal receiver, the Skynet Integration System, and the Department of Paranormal Research and Defense's specialized supercomputer." "Oh," Wilbur replied as if he understood. The satellite signal receiver was used to connect satellite signals, which were much more stable than dedicated lines. Wilbur was aware of Skynet. It was a national defense program that connected security cameras throughout the nation. They could surveil any security footage within the nation at any time. Although he was not sure about the specialized supercomputer, he knew it was an effective supercomputer. The set of equipment was more powerful than the equipment used by the provincial departments. It also demonstrated that the authority of the Department of Paranormal Research and Defense
"Damn it," cursed Wilbur. He wondered if something bad happened. "Come in." Ryder walked into the room. Wilbur frowned and looked at Ryder. After a long pause, he asked, "There's nothing to attend to, right?" "As required by the protocol, please come to the office and set up the password," replied Ryder. Wilbur instantly let out a sigh of relief and said, "I thought something bad happened. You gave me a fright." He instantly told Faye and the others to wait, then went to the operation room with Ryder alone. The staff had installed the equipment and left. They were the only two people there. Ryder explained the functions of the equipment, then he asked him to set up various passwords. There was a password for the satellite connection, a password to activate the supercomputer, a secondary password for personal operation, and also a password for self-destruct. Wilbur set up around seven passwords, and they were strong passwords too. 'I'm afraid I can't remember any o
Mariah sat in the office of the station director. She could not believe what was happening to her. She touched the wide office desk, and a smile slowly formed on her face. Her hard work has finally paid off. However, she composed herself after a moment and started to analyze the whole incident. The main focus of her analysis was the censored man in the video posted by Sherry. That person's identity must be quite extraordinary. Even if he was working at Cape, he should be among their elites. However, Faron Campbell was involved with this incident too. That person was surely not ordinary if he had connections to Faron. She thought about it and immediately came up with a plan. She would arrange an exclusive interview with Cape and let Chloe be the interviewer. Mariah was pleased with herself after she finished the proposal. Mariah and Chloe benefitted from the incident, so she went along with the flow in hopes of leaving another good impression on Cape. It was best if
