Chapter 239: 239

Votes were often the most unreliable thing.

The hearts of the citizens were often very difficult to control.

However, Deborah’s high confidence did not seem like she was bluffing.

Combined with this woman’s previous history of deceit, Locke was certain that there was something more to it in this matter!

He decided to make a move on the Chamber of Commerce after he had figured everything out.

“Where did you get your confidence from? Such a thing has never happened in any city on the continent.” Locke lit a cigar and began to probe.

However, Deborah, who was rather frank before, did not answer this question.

She only smiled and shook her head. “You’ll know when the time comes…”

Then, she changed the topic. “How is it? You’ve seen the photos. You should understand how the Chamber of Commerce obtains the title of nobility, right? Are you confident now?”

If one did not agree to such a reliable source, the other party would either doubt Locke’s intelligence or his purpose!

“Sure! I need a week to prepare the funds! 80 billion, no problem!”

Locke decided to convince the woman first.

“You’re welcomed to join us! I’m sure you can replace Antoine’s position in the future! And I’ll naturally assist you from behind…” Deborah’s eyes flickered. She had already chosen a successor for the next “president”.

After everything was settled, all that was left was to wait for time to come!

There was not much to do.

The two of them decided to walk to the coffee square by the famous riverside of Water City.

“Madam! Hello!”

“Thank you for everything that the Chamber of Commerce has done for us…”

“Secretary Deborah, you’re really beautiful today! Please give my regards to Mr. President…”

“Big Sister! Here’s some candy!”

As they passed by an ordinary residential area, many people expressed their respect to Deborah and the Chamber of Commerce.

“You’re quite eh? It’s a pity that they don’t know that the real president is you…”

“It doesn’t matter… After Water City is completely under control, when the time is right in the future, I’ll come out and preside over everything.” Touching the face of a cute child, Deborah smiled and said.

The coffee was delicious.

Together with the melodious music of the violin, both of them were in a great mood.

The real Deborah was not only confident but also very talkative.

Especially when it came to knowledge regarding Battle Beasts, Locke felt that she was not inferior to those seniors in the Federal Academy.

“May I ask if Mr. Casey is a Beastmaster?” Deborah bit the straw, looking very flirtatious.

“Take a guess.”

“I think so. There’s an unfathomable aura in your eyes. You’re too mysterious…”

“From what I see, you’re just as mysterious as I am. May I know what Battle Beast you have?”

Under the table, Deborah’s high heels deliberately rubbed against the other party’s calves. She winked and said, “Take a guess…”

The two of them continued chatting in this extremely ambiguous atmosphere.

With the surveillance Battle Beast around, Sean and Belinda naturally would not get too close to them to avoid being exposed.

After hearing Sean’s description of the scene, Belinda was so angry that she furrowed her delicate brows!

Her originally pink and tender cheeks became even more sullen!

“The stinky woman! Tell me! Between her and me, who’s more beautiful? Will Locke like her?”

Sean’s face was filled with black lines. “I already said not to let me describe it, yet you still want me to say…”

Compared to their headaches, Locke’s side was getting better.

The two of them had a very good conversation although the topic had nothing to do with business.

Locke was not in a hurry. After all, he had already gained a lot on this day!

If he was too impatient, it would cause the other party to be on guard.

Locke might as well talk about Deborah’s past to further build trust with the other party.

It turned out that Deborah was also an orphan. However, she was very diligent and studious from a young age. She studied for many degrees on the mainland.

After that, she traveled around and earned a large sum of money by relying on her courage and resourcefulness.

A few years ago, when Deborah came to Water City, she fell in love with the local customs and environment, and decided to live here.

Coincidentally, she found that a chamber of commerce called the Undead Legion was in a financial crisis.

Since she had nothing better to do, she bought the half-dead organization for free.

The former president and employees also chose to take the money and leave.

Deborah was unfamiliar with the place and was a young woman.

To ensure the smooth running of the business, she first found Antoine, who was an actor, to play the role of the president. After that, she hired a large number of people.

Deborah used her business talent and the leverage of the royal family to not only allow the Chamber of Commerce to rise the ranks but also dealt with the nobles who had been bullying others.

Although they were unscrupulous, they had the support of countless lower-class people!

Under Deborah’s leadership, the Chamber of Commerce had become the strongest organization in Water City.

Locke rarely admired others but the woman’s ability was worth affirming.

It was 10 pm. After looking at his watch, Locke said, “It’s getting late. Let’s go back!”

“Us?” Deborah felt that Locke was implying something.

However, Locke did not mean it that way. He explained, “Oh! What I mean is, I’ll send you to the yacht first, then I’ll go back!”

Deborah walked in front of him and looked at him with her bright and gentle eyes. After a few seconds, she said, “Alright… It’s no fun to be too anxious. See you tomorrow.”

Then, she kissed Locke and walked toward the yacht that had been waiting by the river.

Back at the hotel suite.

Belinda sitting on the sofa with her arms crossed.

“Thanks for your hard work, Locke!”

Along with Captain Miles’ voice, he and Sean also walked out of the restaurant.

The two of them wore the clothes of the room manager and the waiter. It was obvious that they had disguised themselves.

“How’s the situation?” Miles brought a cup of coffee to Locke. He was eager to know what the other party had learned today.

After learning about the matter of Crown Prince Maxime, the other three were shocked!

“Are you sure there’s nothing wrong with the photos?”

“Could it be that they used a Battle Beast to disguise as him?”

“The first prince actually…”

As he drank his coffee, Locke said, “Don’t worry! I checked the photos carefully. There’s no problem with it. This matter shouldn’t be fake…”

If it were fake, the woman would not have succeeded this time. It seemed that it was unnecessary to doubt the authenticity of the evidence.

After pinching the bridge of his nose, the sad-looking Miles said to himself, “No wonder Secretary Peter asked us to get close to the Chamber of Commerce and not directly arrest and interrogate them! It seems that the royal family is holding back…”

“I’m very interested in this woman. She’s really amazing and quite ambitious. She wants to build a wall around Water City and turn it into an independent kingdom?” Sean lit a cigarette and smiled.

“Captain! Do you want take action?” Belinda looked jealous when she mentioned that woman. She would not be so impulsive under normal circumstances.
