Chapter 231: 231

“Ta… Ta… Ta…”

The moment the woman in professional attire stepped on the riverbank, she had attracted the attention of many people in the plaza.

Men were infatuated while women were jealous.

Those beautiful legs were simply too perfect. Her appearance was even more imposing and beautiful, making it difficult to forget.

“Hello, Mr. Casey! I’m the Chief Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce of the Undead Legion, Deborah!”

As she introduced herself, she extended her hand.

Locke smiled and held her hand. “Thank you for your trouble! The president’s gift is on its way…”

As he spoke, Locke began to size up this black-haired beauty.

He originally thought that he would only meet a beauty of Belinda’s level after a long time. He did not expect to meet another stunning beauty so soon.

However, the styles of these two people were completely different.

If Belinda was passionate and beautiful, then Deborah was deemed elegant.

“May I know what’s the matter?”

Locke indeed need to show his appreciation but he did not forget his mission.

Deborah took out an invitation letter and smiled. “The president asked me to bring this to you! The day after tomorrow, he’ll be waiting for you in the Chamber of Commerce’s restaurant. Also, please go alone. The president wants to talk to you alone.”

After saying that, she kept sizing up Locke with her beautiful eyes, especially with her expression as if she was observing him carefully.

Locke understood that the reason for this arrangement must be that she had more ideas to communicate with him.

The content must not be said in public as it was exactly what she wanted!

After nodding slightly, Locke shrugged his shoulders and said, “Of course! My sister doesn’t like that kind of serious occasions!”

“That’s good! I’ll go back and report to the president right away! I’ll invite Mr. Casey to enjoy himself for the next two days! I’ll take my leave first!” There was a faint fragrance on Deborah’s body. Locke knew that this was definitely not something that perfume could bring.

Looking at the beautiful back view of this beauty, Locke dug his ears and muttered thoughtfully, “This merchant is a little interesting…”

An unfathomable smile appeared on his face.

Ten minutes later, Belinda returned. She naturally held onto Locke’s arm and said, “Let’s go! I’ll bring you to taste the seafood soup from the Eastern District!”

Actually, Locke understood that this was a meeting with Captain Miles.

…

There was a very famous food street in the Eastern District.

The population density here was very high.

It was a very well-hidden place.

After making many turns, the members of the Chamber of Commerce who were responsible for tracking them eventually lost them.

“Haha! Captain is really smart to choose such a crowded place!”

After walking into a food shop, Belinda shouted, “Boss! Give us some delicious food!”

After hearing a familiar voice, a one-eyed middle-aged man walked out of the kitchen.

Then, Bauer arrived.

Sean was responsible for setting up a stall outside the store to keep watch of the surroundings.

“Locke, you did well. Secretary Peter is very happy with your performance and so am I.”

Locke did not think much of the praise that came out of the captain’s mouth. He did not say anything and just drank his cold drink.

Then, Belinda told him about the invitation letter sent by the Chamber of Commerce.

After lighting a cigarette, Miles nodded and said, “Sean hasn’t infiltrated the Chamber of Commerce. I suspect that they have deeper secrets. Locke, it’s up to you now! This is a good opportunity!”

“I keep having a weird feeling…” Locke squinted and said thoughtfully.

“Which aspect are you referring to? We can analyze it together.”

“I can’t say for now. Let me think…”

Seeing that Locke was in a state of contemplation, it was not appropriate to interrupt him.

After taking a cup of coffee, Bauer said, “The Second and Third Divisions have begun to harass Sean and me. I think they’re harassing us because they can’t get effective information and can’t infiltrate us.”

“Hehe, it’s the same old trick. Ignore it! They can’t afford to be accused of internal friction! Retreat to Locke’s banquet. The two of you set up a stall outside the Chamber of Commerce and are in charge of supporting Locke at any time! Belinda, stand by!”

“Understood…”

The two of them echoed in a low voice.

After reminding them of some details, Miles quickly slipped into the kitchen and Bauer also left through the back door.

Suddenly, Sean’s voice outside the shop became louder.

This was a hint to everyone that the people following Locke and Belinda had arrived.

Belinda, who had received the hint, raised her spoon and said with a smile, “Come, my dear brother! The seafood soup in this shop is very delicious!”

After eating it in one bite, Locke tasted it carefully and felt that it was not bad!

Then, the two of them shopped for the entire afternoon and bought a lot of things.

The relationship between the two also became much closer.

Belinda even fed Locke ice cream from time to time. She even acted coquettishly and let Locke carry her.

No matter how she looked at it, the two of them did not look like brother and sister! They looked more like a couple!

Sean, who had the monitoring Battle Beast Golden Cloud Pigeon, sensed the scene of love and could not stand it anymore. He used the ring to remind her, “Ahem… Belinda, can you not be so proactive? You look more like a couple, okay?”

Hearing her companion’s reminder, Belinda’s face blushed slightly. She realized that she had crossed the line.

Everything she had done earlier was natural. It was not intentional at all…

In the evening, after returning to the hotel, the waiter sent the things that Belinda had bought to the suite. Locke took out a few large bills and said to him, “Arrange for the best chef to make dinner for two and also bring some red wine!”

Seeing how generous Locke was with his tips, the waiter thanked him profusely and said that he would definitely arrange it.

An hour later, after a short rest, the two of them arrived at the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room of the suite.

The two waiters had already arranged the dining table. After opening the red wine, they left at Locke’s request.

Looking at the candles on the dining table and the beautiful and bustling seaside scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling window, Belinda’s heart was beating wildly.

‘Today, he bought so many things for me. How can it be so romantic now? What is he trying to do? Could it be…?’

With this thought in mind, Belinda sat down on the chair. Her face quickly turned red and she silently lowered her face.

‘Where did the usually fiery and unrestrained me go?’

At this moment, she felt that she did not recognize herself anymore. Her mind was blank but her heart was extremely excited. She was faintly looking forward to something.

“Phew!”

Just as Belinda was waiting for Locke to speak, he blew out the big candle in the middle in one breath and said snappily, “Crazy! It’s not like there are no lights! What’s the point of lighting a candle?”

Then, he turned on all the lights in the originally dim living room.

“…”

Instantly, Belinda’s face was filled with black lines.

Locke asked while eating the succulent devil lamb chop, “What are you looking for by joining the team? Maybe we can work together.”
