Chamber of Comrce Alliance.
Simon stood before the large floor-to-ceiling window, his shadow blending into the light outside.
"I've checked. Did Qiao Nian interfere?"
"President, it's her."
"I understand."
Simon's eyes darkened and he pursed his lips.
"You can leave now."
His subordinates hesitated for a mont before quietly leaving, closing the door on their way out.
The office fell completely silent.
Simon stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the tall building.
It was 10 AM, and the sun had already risen. Sunlight shone through the glass window and bathed him. Logically speaking, it should be warm, but he was chilled to the bones.
He stood there, wondering if he had made the right choice.
However, he rembered choosing to stand on the side of the reclusive families in Ji Ziyin's matter. He had long offended that person.
Even if he wanted to turn back, that person would, at best, not find trouble with him. She wouldn't help the Chamber of Comrce Alliance advance further in the independent continent.
Therefore, riches and honor ca from danger.
Simon walked back, picked up the office line, and made a call, to which he had previously removed the IP address.
Веер.
The call was picked up on the first ring.
Simon's handso face was covered in dark clouds, and his eyes were gloomy.
"I've thought it through.
"We can work together.
"According to the terms discussed before, after success, the Chamber of Comrce Alliance will take over all the halls south of the Ji family! We'll cooperate if you have no problem with that. If you do, pretend I didn't call."
He asked for a little too much. It was even more than the bargaining chip the other party had proposed to him previously. However, the alliance had taken such a huge risk to provoke Qiao Nian this ti. It was impossible for them to only ask for three mbers of the Ji family.
If they didn't agree, he would rather give up this opportunity.
He heard a static sound from the receiver.
The person on the other end did not think for long before clicking his tongue. "Deal."
Simon's nervous heart relaxed. He gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "Happy cooperation." "Happy cooperation."
The voice was exactly the sa as the young man's voice in his office. It was the sa person!
**
"Is it done?"
The wind was strong at the bay pier.
A young man in a long trench coat covered his face with a hood and a mask as he leisurely strolled on the busy dock.
He looked unremarkable.
In fact, it was strange to appear at a place like the pier at this unusual ti.
The man walked around the dock for a while before moving toward the alley made of goods. These alleys extended in all directions. Each one was so narrow that only one person could pass through. Usually, only the dock workers would pass through here.
Unlike the scorching sun outside, these narrow alleys did not see light all year round. It was pitch-black, and only when the sun rose could these roads be seen. On a cloudy day, one might not even be able to see them.
However, he appeared familiar with the path as he turned left and right.
Then, he suddenly bumped into soone.
The person was not unfamiliar.
He had inconspicuous facial features and was dressed in black, like a shadow.
Who else could it be but Shadow, Nie Qingru's right-hand man?
Shadow seed very familiar with the young man, and he imdiately asked him, "The Empress is still waiting for your news."
Covered with a hood, the young man's eyes could not be seen and his emotions could not be ascertained. Looking as if he had just seen him, he slowly said, "Most of the traces on the dock have been erased, but I was lucky enough to find a few bullet holes and a burn mark left by a small thing."
