Ten days later.
When Leo Foster arrived at Walvis Bay under the pretense of traveling, the family's butler, Jessica, arrived a day earlier and booked a luxurious hotel.
However, Leo heard another piece of news from Jessica.
"Is that so, a biotechnology company called 'Blackwatch' has a research center nearby?"
Leo had a pensive look on his face. "Is their symbol in the shape of two hands?"
"No, Young Master. The company's logo is a pitch-black hole," Jessica replied.
"That's strange."
Leo frowned. "No matter what, this company is the most suspicious. Keep investigating!"
"Yes, Young Master."
After Jessica left, Leo once again logged into the website on the invitation letter. But this time, after he entered the verification code, the other party sent him a message — —
“22:00。”
22: 00, what did that mean?
Seeing the new message sent by the other party, Leo subconsciously looked at his watch. It was now 9: 20 in the evening, Namibia time. There were still forty minutes before the time listed.
"Could it be that the other party will meet me at this time?"
Leo frowned. The other party's deliberate mystification made him very unhappy. If it were not for the fact that the other party might have technology to extend life, he would have turned around and left long ago.
As for whether the other party would harm him, Leo was not too worried. As long as the kidnapper was not extremely stupid, he would understand that kidnapping a member of the Foster family in Europe would not bring him any benefits.
In this way, Leo waited for forty minutes. At 22: 00 sharp in the middle of the night, a dark black car suddenly drove out of the darkness and slowly stopped in front of the hotel where Leo was staying.
"Ring ring ring..."
At the same time, Leo's phone rang.
Leo picked up the phone but found that the caller ID was empty. He pressed the answer button with some confusion. At once, a young male voice came from the phone.
"Mr. Leo Foster, I'm the spokesperson of God's Forbidden Zone."
"It really is you!"
Leo had enough of this aimless waiting and hurriedly urged, "I've arrived at Walvis Bay according to the address you provided. Can we meet now?"
"The transport is waiting downstairs, Mr. Foster."
Leo quickly walked to the window, opened the curtains, and looked down. Sure enough, he saw a pitch-black car parked outside the hotel. In the dark night, it looked like a black ghost.
"Do you want me to get in this car?" Leo's expression was uncertain.
"This is not a forced arrangement. The bus we provide can also be used to guide the way," the person on the other end of the line replied.
"That's settled then. I'll be right there."
Leo thought about it and decided not to take the risk. Although his demeanor was important, his own safety was more important.
After he called jESSICA, jESSICA came over with a group of bodyguards, "Young Master, the car is ready."
"Then let's go." Leo nodded, turned around, and went downstairs. He sat in an SUV driven by a bodyguard, while the rest of the bodyguards got into the other three cars.
Immediately, the five cars started up at the same time and left Walvis Bay in a grandiose manner, heading south along the road.
However, after driving for about twenty minutes, when Leo saw the gate at the end of the road marked with the words "Blackwatch Biological Research Center", his expression suddenly froze.
"Sure enough, God's Forbidden Zone is related to this company..."
Without stopping in front of the gate, the five cars drove straight through the gate and finally stopped in front of a spacious laboratory building.
However, what Leo did not expect was that in front of this laboratory building, there were dozens of cars parked. He even saw several people who looked like bodyguards standing in front of their respective cars.
At once, Leo's frown deepened.
Although the more people invited by the other party, the safer he would be, at the same time, it also meant that his potential competitors would increase. He just did not know what the organization behind this company, God's Forbidden Zone, was planning.
After getting out of the car with the group of bodyguards, the butler jESSICA leaned over again. He pointed to the staircase of the laboratory building more than ten meters away and reminded in a low voice, "Young Master, look, that's a member of the Wilson family. I've seen him before!"
Leo heard this and looked, only to see a few receptionists who seemed to be from the research center ushering the person jESSICA into the building, then they walked toward him again.
"Welcome!"
Before they reached him, the Chinese man at the head of the group shouted, "Welcome, Mr. Foster. It's an honor for our company to have you here!"
Seeing this unprofessional welcome, Leo suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart and shook the man's hand. "May I ask if you're the director general of this company?"
"No, I'm the director of the human resources department of the research center. These people behind me are my subordinates."
The Chinese man chuckled. "Please go in. To tell you the truth, you're the last to arrive. The other ten families have been waiting for a long time."
"The other ten families?" Leo was shocked. "Who are they?"
"In the European region, besides your Foster family, there's also the Wilson family. In North America, there's the Edwards family, the Alexander family, and the Rodriguez family. In addition, there's also the Muhammad family from the Sand Continent..."
With each name that the Chinese man said, the corner of Ledi's eye twitched violently.
He resisted the urge to grab the man's tie and interrogate him harshly. Without a word, he walked into the hall.
At once, the crowd in the hall turned to look at him.
"Please have your bodyguards stay here." Qian Wenhuan pointed to a conference room next to him. "The members of the other families are already in the conference room."
Ledi nodded and instructed Jessica and the bodyguards to stay in the hall as well. After that, he walked into the conference room under Qian Wenhuan's guidance.
Unlike the noisy hall, when Ledi entered the conference room, he saw everyone sitting around a wide conference table in an orderly manner.
Most of these people looked familiar to Ledi. After all, the upper class always interacted with each other. Most of the people here were similar to him. They were financial oligarchs from various countries and family members of financial groups.
Only the one sitting at the top of the conference table was a young Chinese man whom he had never seen before.
At this time, there was only one empty seat at the conference table.
It went without saying that this seat was prepared for him. So, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Ledi casually walked to the seat and then sat down leisurely, displaying the fine demeanor of a British aristocrat.
"Very well, Mr. Foster is officially in place. In that case, this meeting can officially begin."
