The President, who was in the middle of his meeting, had been taken aback by his phone suddenly ranging. He scowled when he saw that it was Desire. I know that Janet has been preparing to assassinate Peter. If my guess is accurate, Desire should be calling with good news. The President looked delighted and he asked for the meeting to be paused.
He answered the phone call once everybody was out of the conference room. He then asked excitedly, “How is it? How did Peter’s assassination go?” He assumed that she was the bearer of good news, so his expression changed drastically into shock after listening to her.
Desire, who was on the other end of the line, answered in a rush, “President Hills, we are in trouble—our boss is in danger.”
What? The President gripped his phone tightly and he stood rooted to the spot. Did Peter kill Janet? That is not right. Did Mason kill Janet? His hand slightly trembled as he held his cell phone. “Is Janet dead?”
“No. She previously told Lara that if she doesn’t return by 6:00 PM, it means that the mission has failed. It is almost time now and she’s not back yet,” Desire explained.
The President finally relaxed when he heard that. In any case, what should I do if Peter forces Shadow 1 to expose the mastermind? I don’t have a clue about the situation right now. I am actually hoping that Shadow 1 never speaks again.
Meanwhile, Desire continued to speak over the phone, “President Hills, I hope that you will be able to send troops to rescue my boss.”
The President’s expression stiffened when he heard that and he clenched his fists tightly. Is she asking me to send troops? Wouldn’t Mason recognize me if I were to send troops to rescue Janet? I am the country’s president. How could I possibly send troops to save the boss of an organization? I would be putting my life on the line too. Previously, the main reason why I forged a good relationship with Janet is because she controls the majority of Markovia’s power. If she dies, I might even be able to inherit some of her power and influence.
He deliberately acted as though he was caught in a difficult situation. “I’m afraid my hands are tied. After all, I do not have any military power. However, I will contact leaders from all the continents to see if they are willing to help.”
“Alright, thank you.”
“No worries.” The President hung up on the phone call after saying that. Haha! Never in my wildest dreams did I expect such an interesting development in the situation. Since they are trying to kill each other, I might as well just wait to reap the rewards. He burst into a cackle of evil laughter. Just as he was about to continue with the meeting, his cell phone on the desk started to ring again.
He looked down at his phone. Why is Desire calling again? He then answered the phone call swiftly. “Hello? What happened?”
There was a long pause on the other end of the line. There was a significant difference in the atmosphere compared to the earlier phone call.
Just when The President was about to ask again, Desire exclaimed in delight, “President Hills, our boss has returned. There is no need to trouble you anymore.”
He stood frozen to the spot when he heard that before his cell phone slowly slipped through his fingers. There was a loud thud and the phone fell onto the floor with a crash.
“President Hills… President Hills, are you alright?” Her voice persisted over the phone.
Is Janet back? Did she return after she was forced to reveal the truth? In that case, did Janet reveal my identity? Well, do Shadow 1 and Peter know about each other’s identity now? Suddenly, the color drained from the President’s face and he picked up the phone meekly. After calming himself down for a while, he finally spoke again, “Alright, I understand.” He sat at the head of the table while clenching his fists tightly. It seems like I have to move the virus agenda to an earlier date.
On the other hand, somewhere in Yobril, the Rocher Family’s reputation drastically declined in the medical community ever since they lost the International Medical Competition. Besides, the media outlets in Yobril even openly predicted that the Rocher Family could eventually be ruined in Melissa’s hands.
