Unlike the turbulent atmosphere within the Destiny Organization, the Alt branch of the Wenting Consortium was harmonious at this time.
Miss Esni, who deserved commendation from the company for her merits in the attack incident, was present.
In the top-floor office of the Wenting Consortium.
A black-haired girl in a straight trench coat looked slightly uneasy.
Jonas smiled at the girl in front of him and said, "You're here, please have a seat."
Upon hearing this, the girl named Esni sat down in front of Jonas, took a deep breath, and asked, "Mr. Jonas, why did you summon me?"
"During the last attack on the Alt branch, thanks to Miss Esni, the losses were kept within acceptable limits," Jonas said as he handed a teacup to Esni, then asked, "Is there anything you desire?"
Esni didn't expect Jonas to summon her for such a matter. She hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and replied, "These are all within my duties. Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Jonas."
"Well, that's a pity," Jonas said, glancing at the collar around the girl's neck. Sensing Esni's embarrassment, he withdrew his gaze.
"Oh, right. After this period of treatment, Miss Celine's condition has improved. If you have the time, I'll arrange for you to meet," Jonas said as if he had just remembered something.
Upon hearing this, Esni couldn't sit still. She stood up, looked at Jonas, and asked, "Really?"
"Of course," Jonas said with a hint of a smile, not minding Esni's reaction.
As if realizing her own indiscretion, Esni raised her hand awkwardly. Seeing that Jonas didn't mind, she relaxed and said, "Thank you very much."
"I've said it before, I won't mistreat any loyal employee," Jonas smiled, seemingly noticing Esni's evasive gaze. He continued, "Moreover, Miss Esni hasn't violated our agreement."
Since wearing the collar, the girl hadn't taken it off once, which spoke volumes about many aspects of the situation. And as an incentive, he naturally had to give her a certain reward.
Upon hearing this, Esni couldn't help but blush. She was well aware of the implicit meaning behind Jonas's words but quickly dismissed the thought. Jonas waved his hand, looked into Esni's eyes, and said, "Alright, I'll inform you later."
Relieved, Esni didn't linger and bid farewell before leaving.
...
After the girl left, Jonas turned his attention back to his communication interface.
On it, information about Angs Ianter had been compiled into a document and placed in his personal mailbox.
—Things should be progressing fairly well on the Destiny Organization's side...
He pondered for a moment, then found the contact information for the Federal Financial Bureau on the communication interface.
Subsequently, he sent the compiled information about Angs Ianter to them.
It was time to add fuel to the fire.
...
Enlais District.
Miss Tienyue had returned, but she also brought back quite a bit of trouble.
It was a short video clip, only a dozen or so seconds long, but it fully recorded the entire process of Miss Tienyue shooting Ian Streller.
The impact of this video clip far exceeded the expectations of the upper echelons of the Destiny Organization.
To rescue Miss Tienyue, the Fourth Special Operations Team was wiped out.
This incident had already caused considerable turmoil within the organization. In the end, it was only through Angs's firm stance that those dissenting voices were suppressed.
And this incident, like a fuse, completely ignited the pent-up emotions of the people.
In just one night, the voices demanding an investigation into Miss Tienyue had drowned out all other voices.
This also made Angs, who firmly believed that this was a ploy by the Wenting Consortium, feel a bit at a loss.
From the content of the video alone, there was no doubt that Miss Tienyue had shot Ian Streller, her comrade.
Angs didn't believe that Miss Tienyue would betray the Destiny Organization.
But with various evidence, even if he wanted to defend Miss Tienyue, he couldn't find a reasonable excuse to appease the other members of the organization.
He dared not publicly claim that this video clip was fabricated by the Wenting Consortium through some means. After all, once the authenticity of the video was proven, it would undoubtedly confirm Miss Tienyue's guilt.
Moreover, Miss Tienyue was still unconscious at the moment, making it even more difficult to understand the actual situation.
Angs vaguely felt the presence of a looming hand behind the scenes, but he now seemed quite powerless.
And just as Angs was feeling troubled, a commotion could be heard outside the Erkayce Bar.
This made the already irritable Angs even more headache-inducing. He stood up, opened the door, and was about to speak when he saw a man standing in front of him.
"Mr. Angs, right?" The Federal Financial Bureau investigator, dressed in a suit, held an electronic recorder and asked Angs in front of him, "We've found that you've received a large amount of illegal assets. Please cooperate with our investigation."
