Alden pursed his lips. “Hackers are unable to infiltrate the army‘s system. It appears that we have to
ask Terry North for help.”
“This is the core of every organization‘s confidentiality. He won‘t help us,” George said with a straight
face.” Didn‘t he say that he wants to meet us? Why don‘t we meet him once and try to find Dad?”
Alden slowly nodded.
Since things had progressed to such a stage, that was all they could do.
The next afternoon, Adina and Flint went to the business banquet hall in the neighboring country.
Hestia Border was surrounded by about eight small countries. The country hosting the business
banquet was developed, and the purpose of the project was to rebuild cities and villages that had been
destroyed by war. Everything including houses, roads, railways, and basic infrastructure had to be
rebuilt. There was a huge profit margin to be made.
Businessmen from the neighboring countries hoped to take part in the project. Before the banquet
started, nearly a hundred luxury cars were parked in front of the hotel.
Adina was dressed in a fitting gown with a shawl on her shoulders. She held Flint‘s arm as they walked
toward the banquet hall.
It was rare to see such a beautiful pure Astroysian woman there, especially since her delicate figure
was not inferior to that of European women.
As soon as she appeared at the banquet hall‘s entrance, she instantly attracted the attention of
numerous people.
Flint felt a little unhappy. “You shouldn‘t have worn such a tight gown.”
Adina flashed him a bright smile. “Beauty is a woman‘s greatest weapon. With beauty, you can often
achieve more with less.”
At this point, she no longer held back. If her beauty could quickly get her inside the Black Party, she
would gladly use it. Flint silently sighed.
He really wanted to ask Addy if someone wanted her body, would she sacrifice it just to get news about
Duke?
But he was too afraid to ask because Addy would kill him with her gaze.
The two of them walked up the steps while everyone watched. At the entrance, they were suddenly
stopped by a guard.
“You can‘t enter.”
The guard, who was about forty years old, blocked their path with a stern expression.
Flint narrowed his eyes. He held the invitation card and said, “We‘re the representatives of Morton
Corporation. Why can‘t we go in?”
“Why?” The man sneered before he said in a low voice,“ My nephew, York, was arrested and locked up
in jail the day before yesterday. Was it because of the two of you?”
Adina looked at the man. She had done some research last night. York‘s uncle, Louis, had joined the
core army half a month earlier, and he worked for Terry North.
Unexpectedly, Terry North‘s power actually reached this place. It looked like Terry North trusted Louis
quite a bit. If she wanted to collaborate with Terry North, she could not offend these lackeys. Adina
smiled faintly. “Surely, you know why York is being locked up in jail. Terry North implemented a new
policy, but he harassed a woman right in front of Terry North. If he‘s not arrested, who should be? Mr.
Louis, you‘re openly stopping the representatives of Morton Corporation from attending the meeting.
This also violates Hestia Border‘s new policy regulation. If I report this to Terry North, do you know what
the consequences will be?”
Louis’ expression instantly changed.
This woman dared to threaten him in his territory!
“But Mr. Louis, you‘re actually fighting for your nephew. I think that‘s understandable.” Adina smiled
again.
She unzipped her small leather bag, took out a stack of cash that she had exchanged long ago, and
stuffed them into Louis‘ pocket. “It‘s for everyone‘s sake. Mr. Louis, please don‘t dwell on the little
things in the past.”
