"Then let them do it. We'll pretend not to know, then seize the opportunity to reap benefits. If they dare to create a crisis to gain merit, then you can certainly find evidence and expose their conspiracy," Eddie said, spreading his hands.
"Alright then, if there's any new information, I'll contact you again." Kaplan could only extinguish his desire to use Eddie. This young fox was too cunning and difficult to manipulate, yet he had no choice but to rely on him, which was the most challenging part.
After playing on the British Isle for a few days, Eddie took Alexia and the two other women to a city on the Mediterranean coast, which was located at the junction of Eastern and Western Europe.
On the sea, a massive city, entirely constructed from steel, could be seen—a true ocean city. It had no connection to the outside world; everything could only be accessed by ferry.
The cars on the island were specialized electric trams, aiming to establish a pollution-free city. Developed and built jointly by the European Union and the Western Federation, it was located in the Mediterranean due to its favorable environment and ease of control.
In Claire's office, after a busy day, she stretched and prepared to leave for dinner. The relief supplies had already been delivered. Without relying on local officials, they would deduct a portion of the supplies as commission, which was quite ridiculous.
"Hi, long time no see," Eddie said, handing her a bouquet of large roses.
Claire's beautiful eyes lit up with joy as she took the bouquet. "Wow, they're beautiful, thank you. You came so fast, I thought it would take another day or two. My brother is alright, isn't he?"
"He's fine. A period of despondency is normal. His comrade died, so sadness is natural. That's why I don't get too close to them. Let's go, we'll have dinner. It's been a while since we watched a movie together, hasn't it? Are you ready to stay up all night tonight?" Eddie asked with a mischievous grin.
Claire tossed her ponytail. "I'll accompany you to the end!"
"Since you're here, you don't mind if I join, do you?" Excella appeared silently at some point, leaning against the doorframe with a lazy yet alluring expression.
"Of course not, the more the merrier. Let's go, Lisa should have dinner ready," Eddie said, leading the two women to the dining room.
This was a private dining room, a place for high-level management like Excella to eat, and also where some of the women assigned to this area dined. Britney, Gina, and others would all eat here, which was considered special treatment.
Jessica, dressed in a white shirt, played the violin by the window. In her leisure time, she always enjoyed playing musical instruments to calm her mind. Occasionally, when she felt irritable, she needed Eddie's special treatment.
Lisa quickly brought dinner to the table: a two-hundred-pound steak. The private dining room was also to prevent people from knowing that a great beauty like Excella could eat so much, helping her maintain her ladylike image.
Chapter 394: Sienna's Stepping Stone
Only the most primitive Veronica serum possessed that terrifying control effect; these Veronica Viruses had lost their most essential parts, which truly made her dissatisfied.
"You did very well. I agree to your request; I will find Eddie's coordinates for you. Are you sure you don't want to stay and work? You are a very good woman. We women are inherently weaker; if we don't band together for warmth, we will be divided and dissolved," Ye Minzhi said, crossing her arms.
"I just want to get revenge on him, nothing else matters," Female Hank Aulemino said coldly. It was her first time being defeated so easily, and she was very displeased.
"Suit yourself. This is his location, in a city in the Mediterranean, opposite Terragrigia. Just go find him, he's at the headquarters of Mysterious Pharmaceutical," Ye Minzhi said, waving her hand and returning to her desk in high heels, not caring about the latter.
Female Hank Aulemino began her journey to the Mediterranean after receiving the news.
Christine had arrived at the company headquarters by helicopter two days prior. She was there to temporarily take over Excella's work. Two days ago, Excella was found to be pregnant. Since she hadn't thought about using contraception before, coupled with her abundant vitality, her pregnancy was quite normal.
It wasn't that Excella couldn't work, but rather it was a convenient reason to bring Christine into the company's operations. She alone managed the European situation with ease, but managing global business was a bit too much. It was perfect to have Christine come over and handle the Asian business.
The environment in Asia was relatively stable, and cooperation was very easy; she could even take over business in Latin America and North America.
"Spencer has probably hidden in an old European castle. Have you found the location of his castle?" Eddie asked, turning his head.
Excella shook her head. "His villa castle is protected by local authorities. He is only a suspect, and his noble status ensures his property is protected. Located in the Iberian Peninsula Kingdom, even the International Court has no right to directly search; only the local king can sanction nobles under his command."
"So that old man can just hide in his castle and be done with it?" Eddie's expression was odd.
"Not necessarily. If there's a legitimate way to remove local nobles, no king would refuse such a thing. Besides, if it's reclaimed, the king profits, so why wouldn't he do it? It's just that Spencer is a suspect, not a criminal, so his castle can still be retained," Excella explained.
"Spencer knows many officials. He was able to find tens of millions of test subjects by relying on his connections. Some people are not clean themselves and fear Spencer's desperation, so they won't make trouble for him. Protecting oneself is something everyone does, it's very normal," Christine said with a smile, holding a cigarette.
The group sat on the balcony of the building, drinking coffee and enjoying the sea breeze, chatting and bragging.
Jessica and Lisa did not participate in the discussion but stood quietly on the balcony, looking out. The sea view was very nice, and it was their first time seeing it, so they found it novel.
"Spencer won't die that quickly, that old immortal must have some other tricks up his sleeve," Eddie sneered. Fortunately, he had reminded Alex to have his wife run off with the other party's resources and property.
"I remember there's also the T-ALOS Project. If your current characteristics can be developed, no one will be your opponent," Christine's beautiful eyes sparkled with a certain brilliance. Only when she understood Eddie's plan would even she, calm as water, feel her heart surge.
The electric barrier could block all thermal weapon bullets, and if further research was done, resisting radiation could also be achieved.
The problem here was the inability to discharge continuously. Biological functions are not like batteries and cannot provide continuous power, only for a very short period.
It was like the first invention of the airplane; everyone knew it was very useful, but to truly utilize it would take some time.
"President, there's a lady named Sienna who says she has an appointment with you and wants to meet now. Do you wish to see her?" the front desk attendant asked.
Excella replied, "Let her come up."
"It seems your helper has arrived. Some time ago, the Federal Bio-Terrorism Commission suddenly laid off staff, and many professionals left. I wonder what happened," Excella said with a smile. She had been in a very good mood recently. Adored as a goddess by businessmen outside, she had painstakingly tried to conceive a man's child, and now that she had succeeded, she was naturally in good spirits.
"She doesn't count yet," Eddie said, picking up a cigarette. Alexia snapped her fingers, lighting the man's cigarette.
Soon, besides Sienna, the always composed Caroline also came up via the private elevator.
"Hi, handsome, I'm unemployed, will you take me in?" Sienna greeted him.
"Eddie, I'm here," Caroline said, nodding faintly.
"I need someone who can warm my large bed, can you do that?" Eddie asked with a playful expression, daring to make any joke.
"Of course, would you like to inspect the goods?" Sienna asked, raising an eyebrow provocatively.
"Haha, just kidding. Come sit here, your joining is very welcome," Eddie said with a laugh, shaking Sienna's hand, then embracing Caroline.
"Oh, Caroline, you've been involved with him for a long time!" Sienna exclaimed.
Caroline nodded. "Eddie has helped me a lot, I've always been his person."
"No wonder many times, some actions against him were thwarted halfway through. So it was you causing trouble. Hmph, now we're comrades too," Sienna said, a bit annoyed.
"We've always been comrades, and I warned you not to investigate Eddie. Luckily, you curbed your curiosity, otherwise, I wouldn't have been polite. He is my husband, and I will only be loyal to my husband," Caroline said with a firm expression.
Sienna looked at her strangely. "This is the audio of Simmons and Morgan's collaboration that I found. They are planning to launch a biochemical attack to elevate the Federation's international standing."
"Self-directed and self-acted, then they go put out the fire themselves?" Eddie seemed to have thought of something, but he hadn't expected that guy Simmons to agree to such a thing; he was truly deranged.
Chapter 395: One Hundred Year Contract Term
As a spy, selling intelligence was just part of the job; it didn't mean they had no sense of right and wrong.
"It was truly a wise choice not to directly upload the evidence to the Senate," Eddie said, taking the disk and opening it to view immediately.
Not only was there audio, but also video footage, showing General Morgan and Simmons secretly meeting in a conference room. It was disgusting that these two very powerful figures in the Western Federation were conspiring a series of activities.
"Most members of the Senate are part of family organizations, and even if not, they have related collaborative interests. Most people in the upper class cooperate with each other. It's unrealistic to report Simmons; you wouldn't think I'd be that stupid, would you!" Sienna said, picking up a cigarette and taking a puff, finding the taste quite good.
"This evidence can be saved; it will be useful against Simmons later. There's someone who's very willing to be the scapegoat. Simmons either dies or lives; I'm more inclined to kill him with one blow," Eddie nodded.
"One hit kill? Not a bad idea. So how do you plan to arrange my work? Do you really want me to warm your large bed? You probably don't lack partners, handsome!" Sienna asked, tilting her head.
