Chapter 238: Royal Scandal
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
A few minutes later, Deborah seemed to have made up her mind.
“I can tell you where the confidence of the Chamber of Commerce lies! But…”
Locke quickly answered, “It’s confidential, right? No problem! I can sign a confidentiality agreement!”
This was a small matter. A confidentiality agreement?
Not to mention that there was no such person as Casey. So what if he had violated it? By then, these guys would probably be in jail!
“Hehe… Mr. Casey isn’t an ordinary person. I don’t dare to let my guard down. Please wait a moment…”
After saying that, she stood up and walked toward the vase.
Locke had a bad premonition. He also said, “Just in time! I need to go to the bathroom!”
“Go ahead…” Deborah said confidently.
From her point of view, he did not have a cell phone anyway and he had not found any traces of a Battle Beast.
After reaching the bathroom, Locke summoned the Fire Armor to prevent any untoward incident later.
Two minutes later, when Locke came out, Deborah had already sat back in her seat.
There was a red capsule on the table.
“Beautiful lady! I’m not sick!”
“You’re a businessman, so you naturally know that everything has a price…” Deborah winked and continued. “I’m really interested in you. You must join the Chamber of Commerce and we’ll rule Water City together in the future. And this capsule is the price…
“The capsule contains poison. As long as you cooperate with me, I won’t let it take effect and I’ll give you the antidote on time. In my opinion, trading 80 billion and loyalty for a portion of Water City’s benefits is very worth it.”
Then, Deborah winked at Locke.
“Sigh! I didn’t expect that I would be forced to this extent by a woman.” Locke looked at Deborah with a smile.
He had no choice.
Logically speaking, if other people were not as powerful as him, even if they did not take the poison, after discovering so many secrets, they would not be able to leave Water City unharmed.
Therefore, Locke had to follow the normal logic and chose to take it.
Anyway, the poison would not have any effect.
Perhaps it was because they were quite far away, Deborah did not notice the faint Fire Armor on Locke’s body.
Seeing Locke take the capsule, Deborah said, “Oh right! I have another condition…”
Locke looked at her and gestured for her to continue.
“That is to date me. I’m really interested in you…”
“It’s my honor, Madam!”
Then, Locke swallowed the capsule!
Seeing that the other party was so determined, Deborah could finally relax.
Looking at the fake Antoine, she ordered, “Stop drinking! Get ready to go out…”
After leaving the restaurant, Antoine returned to his serious look. Looking at the two vice presidents, he said, “I had a very good talk with Mr. Casey! The rest of the work will be handed over to Secretary Deborah! You guys just wait for further instructions!”
“Yes! Understood!”
Both of their eyes were filled with joy!
They had a good talk? It meant that their commission would be in their hands soon!
When they left the restaurant, Locke took the opportunity when they were not paying attention to make the Fire Armor disappear.
Anyway, it had already neutralized the poison from before.
They could not help but sigh in their hearts. “The woman is really extraordinary… Fortunately, I have a sharp mind.”
This time, they left through the back door of the Chamber of Commerce.
They quickly boarded a yacht.
Everything was monitored by Sean’s Golden Cloud Pigeon. Naturally, Sean knew what was happening. A scene appeared in his mind.
“Aiya! Locke is lucky! Such a beautiful female secretary is holding his arm!”
Belinda was not happy when she heard this!
She looked at Sean with a murderous expression and said angrily, “Which b*tch dare to steal my man?”
Sean was frightened by Belinda’s murderous intent. He swallowed his saliva and said, “No… I don’t know. She’s very beautiful. Her figure is as good as yours…”
“Quick! Follow her! When the mission is over, I’ll teach that b*tch a lesson!”
Belinda’s fists were already cracking.
Sean swore that he had never seen Belinda so terrifying!
“So… So you guys are already…?”
“Hmph! Not yet! But Locke will be mine sooner or later! No other women are allowed to touch him!”
On the yacht, Deborah held onto Locke’s arm, appearing very intimate.
“You’re really the most special man I’ve ever met,” she whispered in his ear.
“I feel that you’re pretty attractive too!” Locke smelled the fragrance of her shiny black hair and felt good.
…
The two of them came to an ordinary apartment.
Deborah led the way in front. After pushing the door open, the interior decoration was very ordinary.
Then, she began to pull the curtains.
“Are you so proactive? I’m not ready yet!” Locke teased.
“Hehe… Can’t you be more serious?”
She walked to the fireplace and took out a box from a secret compartment on the wall.
After the two sat on the sofa, Deborah said, “Please believe me! When you see the things inside, you’ll understand why the Chamber of Commerce is so powerful and can summon the wind and rain…”
Then, she unlocked the pa.s.sword.
Locke took a look and saw some photos inside.
At first, he did not pay much attention to them.
However, the more he looked at them, the more interesting it became!
“I didn’t expect that… You have this ability?” Locke picked up the most “exciting” one and said, “Just this photo alone can destroy the crown prince…”
It turned out that these were all scandalous photos of the current first prince, the heir to the throne, Maxime!
This guy had always appeared in front of the public with a gentle and elegant image.
Locke did not expect that Maxime was such an “interesting” person in private.
“How is it? I didn’t lie to you, right?” Deborah was very proud.
Locke kept looking at the photo and asked, “You’re not in it, right?”
“What are you talking about? How is that possible? I’m not interested in such a disgusting man! I got these photos through my Battle Beast!”
“So, when someone pays for a n.o.ble t.i.tle, I’ll inform His Highness the First Prince! Although he’s only a crown prince, he can sign a few n.o.ble t.i.tles!”
As Deborah said that, she went to the fridge to get some drinks.
Locke had never expected that this mission to eliminate the Undead Legion would unearth such a big secret!
It was difficult to imagine that if the king knew of his son’s actions, he would probably faint from anger!
After bringing two bottles of drinks, Deborah continued. “Don’t worry about the people of Water City. They’ll definitely support the Chamber of Commerce’s election 100%!”
