The door to the little dark room closed slowly, and everything in the room returned to its original state. Apart from a puddle of water that was drying up in the corner, the cleaners wouldn't notice anything unusual when they came to retrieve the tools tomorrow.
"Boss, how did you know that he knew where my brother was locked up?" Connie kept the hand-drawn map in her pocket, and pressed Mag down with a bewildered expression.
She already knew what she had to do next when her sharp claws pierced into that bastard's heart.
"Firstly, we can't be sure if this map is real. This could also be a trap set by him after he knew he couldn't escape today, so we can only believe half of it.
Secondly, what he said just now is the real purpose of our trip. If our rescue operation can succeed and overthrow Gary's rule, the things in this photostone will be the evidence of Gary's crimes, and can help you win the hearts of the people quickly. "Meg tossed the photostone in his hand to Connie.
"This pervert indeed has a photostone with him all the time!" Camilla looked at the photostone that Connie caught, and was even more certain of her thoughts.
Meg didn't mind Camilla's gaze. He looked at Connie, and said, "However, since even he could recognize you based on your body shape, I'm afraid you can't go with us even if we obtain the legal identity to go to the Falk Tribe. Once you're recognized, the operation will fail."
"Mm-hm." Connie nodded.
"Let's go. The banquet is about to start." Meg went downstairs first, and music could already be heard from the banquet hall.
The Chamber of Commerce's year-end banquet was naturally full of flattery. First, the four major families that founded the Aden Chamber of Commerce were lavishly praised. Then, a few separate awards were given to the businessmen who had made great progress in the past year. The atmosphere was rather lively.
Meg sat in a corner, and watched this scene with interest. He recalled when he was young, snuggled in his mother's arms, and sat in the front row to watch his family's company's year-end banquet.
At that time, the company was not big and there were no celebrities. His father would go on stage and sing with the employees. It was not very exciting, but it was humane and the employees were the main characters.
Later on, the venue became bigger. The various lights on the stage were the same as a concert stage, and A-list singers were invited. Although it was lively, the end-of-year celebration did not seem to have much to do with the employees. Therefore, he did not attend it again.
"Father, do you want to try this fruit? It's sweet and sour. It's super delicious. After eating it, your teeth will turn purplish-red." Amy ran over to Meg with a small fruit platter. She grinned, revealing a mouthful of purplish-red teeth stained by the fruit juice.
"Look at your purplish-red teeth." Meg smiled. Then, he looked at the pea-sized purplish-black fruits in the small fruit platter. They looked a little like blueberries. Before he reached out, Amy had already grabbed one and tiptoed to feed it to him.
Meg opened his mouth and took the small fruit. With a light bite, the thin fruit skin burst open, and the sweet and sour taste bloomed. The texture and taste were between grapes and blueberries, and it was indeed quite delicious.
"Is it delicious?" Amy asked expectantly.
"Yes, it's sweet and sour. It's really delicious." Meg smiled and nodded. He reached out and patted Amy's head. "Go and play. Don't run around and don't bump into others."
"Yes, yes. Then I'll leave this fruit platter here for you to eat." Amy nodded obediently and placed the small fruit platter on the table in front of Meg. Then, she skipped away.
"Little one." Meg's gaze followed Amy the whole time. He knew that she had met up with the children. Gina had already become the children's temporary playmate. She was playing with the group of children who had followed their parents to attend the banquet. It was obvious that she really liked children.
Camilla sat across from Meg and looked at him as she asked in a low voice, "Let's make a deal. What do you want in order for you to stop pestering my Miss Gloria?"
"There's nothing between us. You can't talk nonsense and ruin our reputation," Meg said calmly as he tossed a fruit into his mouth.
"Do you think I'll believe you if you say that?" Camilla rolled her eyes.
"It's up to you to believe it or not. If you like her, then go after her. If you don't even have the courage to do that, then what's the point of attacking an imaginary enemy? If you don't know how, then beg me to teach you," Meg said with a smile.
"Hmph. Who needs you to teach me? She's going to be my woman sooner or later!" Camilla snorted, and turned her face away.
She did want to pursue her, but her previous actions seemed to have scared Gloria. Not only did it not have any positive effects, it even seemed to be pushing Gloria towards Meg.
Although she turned her face away, she couldn't help but glance in Meg's direction. She thought to herself, This fellow is a little perverted, but he does seem to be quite attractive to women. Could it be that he really has some secret trick? If I learn it, will I be able to change Miss Gloria's opinion of me?
"Thank you to all the members of the Chamber of Commerce for your support and contributions to the Aden Chamber of Commerce in the past year. You've allowed the Aden Chamber of Commerce to enjoy a good reputation on the Norland Continent. I also wish all of you a prosperous and prosperous new year." As the president of the Chamber of Commerce, Geoffrey concluded the commendation banquet with a speech.
Warm applause rang out from below the stage. Most of the members of the Chamber of Commerce were glowing with pride.
Geoffrey was ready to leave the stage after his speech.
"President, please wait!" Right at this moment, Cyril, who was sitting near the center of the stage, stood up and walked up to the stage. He looked at Geoffrey, and said, "Today is the Chamber of Commerce's year-end celebration. According to the rules of the Chamber of Commerce, if there are important matters, we can start a board meeting, right?"
Geoffrey furrowed his brows slightly as he looked at Cyril.
Everyone's eyes also fell on Cyril. Apart from the board members, the normal members of the Chamber of Commerce didn't know what Cyril wanted to do. He actually proposed to start a board meeting.
"As one of the board members of the Aden Chamber of Commerce, I believe that Gloria, who was recently promoted, is not suitable to be a board member. Her qualifications and abilities are not enough for the position of a board member. Furthermore, her previous promotion was not discussed and voted by the board, so it is suspected that she violated the rules." Cyril looked at Geoffrey, and loudly said, "Therefore, I propose to the president to call for a board meeting to vote on whether to let Gloria continue to be a board member of the Chamber of Commerce. If more than half of the votes are against it, according to the rules of the board, she will be stripped of her board member position immediately."
The banquet hall instantly fell silent. All the guests looked at the father and son standing opposite each other on the stage with strange expressions.
