Chapter 240: The Underground Factory, Deborah’s Secret

“Of course not!”

Miles immediately rejected his subordinate’s suggestion and said, “Although Locke has infiltrated and discovered the matter of the crown prince, what I’m more concerned about is why this woman named Deborah is so confident that the Chamber of Commerce will succeed in the election!

“Although there are factions who support them, there are still many people in Water City. I’m sure many people and organizations have conflicts with the Chamber of Commerce too. Why is she so confident that she can control Water City?”

Locke had the same thoughts.

It felt strange. This woman must have a bigger plan.

After looking at his watch, Miles took out his phone. Secretary Peter’s image popped up on the screen.

Looking at the people in the room, Peter nodded and said, “Locke! I heard about your performance. You did well!”

“Tsk… Then I’ll reward you with some dragon bones…” Locke did not have any feelings for such beautiful words. He did not say anything and just drank his coffee.

Seeing Locke’s attitude, the other three were all sweating profusely.

Peter did not mind at all. After all, he knew Locke’s character. He laughed twice to resolve the awkwardness and asked about the intelligence gathering of the First Division.

After listening to their report, Peter thought for a moment and said, “His Majesty has already noticed the matter of the crown prince… It’s not those hobbies but the titles that are being given out from his hands are increasing. I didn’t expect that he was coerced by a few photos…”

After a few seconds of silence, Peter continued, “The photos must not be leaked and they need to be retrieved immediately! Even a backup cannot exist!

“We must also find out what the woman is doing! Water City is a beautiful place, His Majesty doesn’t want to lose it…”

“Understood!” Miles promised like a soldier.

“Alright… I still have to deal with the reconstruction work of the Second and Third Divisions. Don’t let me down…” After saying that, Peter turned off the video call.

Miles coughed twice and started the team meeting again.

“Sean! Belinda! Follow me and continue to get in touch with the staff and citizens of the Chamber of Commerce, especially those who have received the favor of the Chamber of Commerce!

“As for the woman, we can only leave her to Locke! You need to continue to get close to her and gain her trust! Find an opportunity to retrieve the photos and all the backups! As long as we get the photos and when the time is right, we’ll launch an attack!”

Belinda was very concerned about this arrangement.

What did Miles mean by leaving the woman to Locke?

‘Have I agreed to it?’

Although Belinda was unable to determine when she had fallen in love with Locke, she really wanted to meet the woman named Deborah!

“No! I’ll continue to act as brother and sister with Locke. Women understand women the best!”

This made Miles somewhat surprised!

For two whole years, Belinda was sometimes willful, but she had never disobeyed his orders.

“What’s wrong with you? We don’t have enough manpower to begin with! We have a lot of things to do. What are you messing about now? Obey the orders!”

Belinda did not dare to talk back. Her face was gloomy.

“Alright! That’s the arrangement! I’ll help Belinda change her appearance tomorrow!” Before leaving, he instructed Locke, “Tomorrow, Belinda will leave the hotel and go underground. If the Chamber of Commerce asks, you can say that she has left first…”

Locke shrugged, but it did not matter.

After that, Locke ordered two late-night snacks and sat on the living room sofa to eat.

Looking at the late-night snacks, Belinda did not move her knife or fork nor did she say anything. A powerful wave of resentment enveloped her body.

After Locke had finished eating, she slowly opened her mouth, “The woman… Is she beautiful?”

“Yes, not bad! She’s the mature kind! She’s very cunning and she’s always on guard!”

“Is she prettier than me?” Right now, Belinda’s focus was not on the mission at all.

When a woman was jealous, she would not be rational!

Locke thought seriously for two minutes and then said, “It’s not easy to compare! The types are different but you’re all very beautiful and also very feminine!”

Belinda was obviously not satisfied with the answer. She crossed her legs and asked again, “Then, how do you plan to continue getting close to her?”

“I don’t need to think of a way! Before looking at the photo, her condition was that she wanted me to go on a date with her. She’ll probably come looking for me tomorrow!” Locke said straightforwardly.

“Hmph! Then I wish you good luck!” Then, Belinda walked into the room and closed the door.

“Silly girl…” Locke found it funny in his heart.

…

Everything was as Captain Miles had arranged.

The next morning, Belinda dragged her suitcase and acted as if she was about to leave the city. She was rushing to the suburbs to meet captain.

Sean, who had turned into a peddler, had also come into contact with some citizens who had benefited from the Chamber of Commerce.

Compared to the three of them who were busy, Locke slept until ten o’clock.

After washing up, he walked to the restaurant of the hotel and ate breakfast.

Not long after, a tall and beautiful woman appeared in front of him.

“Good morning, great beauty!”

“Pa!”

Deborah lit up a cigarette and looked at Locke lovingly.

She had put in a lot of effort today! Her pink dress showed off her devilish figure to the fullest.

Especially her beautiful legs, they made people’s blood boil!

“How… Am I doing today?” she asked tentatively.

“It feels almost the same as yesterday…”

“Oh…?” A hint of panic flashed across Deborah’s face. She did not want to disappoint the man that she was interested in.

Just as Deborah was about to take out her makeup tools, she was interrupted by Locke’s words:

“Don’t misunderstand! What I mean is that you look beautiful no matter what you wear. You look beautiful every day, so in my heart, you look the same every day…” Locke showed off his skills in picking up girls.

Deborah was amused by him again.

“Hehe… What a glib-tongue man! Hurry up and eat, I’ll show you something…”

…

At an abandoned manor in the suburbs, there were three dilapidated villas in the area.

Before Locke could speak, Deborah explained, “This is the reason why the people of Water City will definitely support me…”

The scene in the basement and the dilapidated desolation above were two completely different things!

To be precise, this place was more like a food processing factory!

Hundreds of workers were making and packaging some cold meat and drinks.

There were even candies and butter that could be seen everywhere!

“So, the Chamber of Commerce is active in sending free food and drinks to the citizens for a purpose…” Locke dug his ears and felt that he was close to the truth.

Deborah smiled and said, “The hearts of the people are often unreliable. Only complete control can prevent accidents from happening. Don’t you think so, Mr. Casey?”
