Fátima stood on the balcony, leaning on the railing, basking in the sun, watching as Elder Zhang’s figure faded into the distance, "Did you talk to him beforehand?"
"No." Nora Scott replied nonchalantly, "But I had Boss Alex pass on a ssage."
She held two major weaknesses of Elder Zhang:
First, an urgent need for money.
Second, a personal grudge from three years ago.
She instructed Boss Alex to tell Elder Zhang to observe her performance during the eting, and if satisfied, he would sign the new contract.
From the outco, it seed Elder Zhang was satisfied.
Among these elders, only the honest and upright Elder Zhang was the hardest to deal with.
Fátima nodded slightly, and said to Nora Scott, "Once this is over, give Joseph Sutton’s contact information."
"Hmm?"
Nora Scott raised her eyelids skeptically.
Fátima replied calmly, "The country needs him."
"...I heard that’s how Hobar (hacker god) was persuaded by you guys." Nora Scott’s mouth twitched.
Fátima neither confird nor denied it.
Nora Scott asked, "Are you guys planning to play with drones?"
"We’re at the forefront of technology, testing every kind of weapon first-hand," Fátima said, "However, right now it’s Victor Technology that needs him, I am doing a favor."
Understanding, Nora Scott raised an eyebrow, dragging her tone, "This favor..."
Fátima was unabashed, "It will be repaid once the product is developed."
"..."
Nora Scott silently sympathized with her boyfriend for three seconds.
However, considering Joseph Sutton is indeed a leader in the industry, even if Pedro Langley is sohow railroaded by Fátima afterward, he would still consider it worthwhile.
She decided not to get involved.
Sending Joseph Sutton’s contact to Fátima, Nora Scott said, "Sutton is a bit of a handful, do you have confidence?"
Fátima gave her a sideways glance, "There is no one I can’t get."
At the sa ti, geniuses scattered across various locations all sneezed simultaneously, a cold sweat breaking out on their backs.
——Could it be that Captain Morton is up to sothing again?
...
After spending six days in the villa, the elders were finally able to see the light of day again.
However, those six days of hellish tornt left them stripped of their initial glamour, only remaining with decadence, embarrassnt, weakness, and anger towards Agent Loughton.
The anger that initially was directed at Nora Scott now all vented on Agent Loughton.
They initially contemplated how to deal with Nora Scott once outside, but now they couldn’t wait to stay away from her. Her thods and courage far surpassed Master Vaughn, and they clearly realized that they were outclassed, unable to stir the slightest ripple in front of her.
Now that the dust settled, as they left, all thoughts of making a fuss disappeared, leaving only the desire to escape as quickly as possible.
Thus, as soon as they retrieved the items returned by Amy Mansfield and Barton Mansfield, they left swiftly, not daring to linger for even a minute.
As for Agent Loughton—
After taking a brutal beating, no one paid him any attention, abandoning him just like that.
However, by that afternoon, news ca—
Agent Loughton t with an accident on the way back, killed instantly. At the sa ti, Elder Double, who had been recuperating at ho, suffered a sudden stroke, rushed to the hospital, and died that night.
Receiving the news one after another, Nora Scott was not surprised.
Biel Hall was half a Martial World organization.
What happens in the Martial World, stays in the Martial World.
However, as soon as the avenged elders returned, they were imdiately entangled in a ss of issues, completely casting aside matters concerning Agent Loughton and Elder Double.
"That Alex bastard wiped out ninety percent of my business!"
"The elites I just trained were caught off guard and kicked out of Biel Hall by headquarters!"
"!!! What the hell, my house is gone!"
...
The elders cursed in the group chat.
In a re six days, excluding Elder Zhang, the power of all the other elders drastically diminished due to various factors, losses so severe they couldn’t recover in the next decade, directly weakening their authority and standing in the hall.
Because the elders were isolated in the villa, their subordinates couldn’t contact them, helplessly watching as their respective forces collapsed.
Of course, there were also people who ca to the villa hoping to forcibly take the elders away, but once Fátima stood at the door and presented her credentials, they dared not resist, leaving obediently.
——All of this, the isolated elders in the villa knew nothing about.
Receiving the bad news, the elders, after reflecting on Nora Scott’s plan, felt a chill down their spine.
Nora Scott intended not only for them to willingly sign the new hall rules but also used their isolation as an opportunity to severely weaken their forces, depriving them of their voice in the hall.
The elders quickly ca to realize:
"Nora Scott takes them down one by one, saying we can leave once we sign, but in reality, exploiting our ’better together than alone’ mindset to entice us to stay voluntarily."
"She banked on us not leaving. Now we can’t even accuse her; she could easily crush us with the word ’voluntary.’"
"Poisonous! This woman is utterly poisonous!"
...
Utterly infuriated, the elders both openly and secretly cursed Nora Scott’s ancestors.
However, they had to seize every opportunity to curse her because they needed to hurry back to deal with the ss, trying to mitigate the damage as much as possible.
...
Little did they know, Nora Scott was cursing them too in her heart.
This group of old folks was so troubleso. Nora Scott had to scrutinize their myriad of sses, leading her to work overti at Biel Security until dawn, until everything settled by the next morning.
The elders were unable to turn back the tide.
From then on, the Elder Council of Biel Hall no longer stood "below one man and above ten thousand people." Without a say, their positions beca rely nominal, holding no real power.
The power of discourse was held in the hands of Nora Scott and her secret intelligence team.
It was also on that night that Nora Scott officially took over the secret intelligence team of Biel Hall.
