Chapter 534 - 530: Good, Go Sleep Quickly
On her first day back in South Asia, Richelle Dunn performed a surgery lasting over ten hours with her mentor, Master Seaton.
The patient was rumored to be an extremely powerful figure.
Richelle normally wouldn’t speculate on the identities of such individuals, but afterward, she overheard two medical staff members whispering that the big shot had been injured during a mysterious mission.
Richelle didn’t pay much attention to their conversation.
However, after speaking with Roy Lewis on the phone, she couldn’t help but think about this mysterious big shot for some reason.
Given her status as an expert within the organization, she shouldn’t inquire about the patient’s identity.
But her damned intuition told her that this person might be somehow related to the secret operation Roy’s team had undertaken previously.
Of course, this mysterious big shot was not involved in the same operation as Roy, nor did they belong to the same organization.
She opened her computer and searched for a wealth of related information.
Finally, she focused on a special operation that had taken place a few days ago.
The source of this special operation was in a neighboring country of South Asia and East Asia.
Richelle frowned slightly.
As far as she knew, the East Asia government had collaborated with several neighboring countries to crack down on The Thompsons’ external channels and sales networks a few months ago. Roy, as the commanding officer of that operation, had annihilated The Thompsons’ headquarters in the central region.
So now, was this newly emerging force in the neighboring country a new division of The Thompsons and The Lilliputs?
Or did another power rise after The Thompsons and The Lilliputs fell?
Richelle analyzed the situation herself but couldn’t come up with any answers.
She went ahead and sent a summary of the recent operation’s details and objectives to Roy’s email.
Of course, this intel did not reveal any information about those involved in the operation.
Based on her understanding of Roy, he should already be aware of this operation.
What she didn’t know was whether this operation had any connection to his decision to feign death for a while.
After sending the intel, Richelle went offline.
Because her mentor still had a ton of data waiting for her to analyze and organize.
As a result, about ten minutes later, she received a transfer of 1.3 million dollars into her secret account.
She secretly clicked her tongue. Was this man swimming in money?
In the past, Roy had been very generous.
But at that time, Richelle believed he had paid her rewards from official accounts due to his professional manner.
At some point, she guessed, ninety percent of these rewards now came from Roy’s personal funds.
Although it wasn’t appropriate for Richelle to address this outright, she had hinted at it several times, but Roy didn’t take it seriously. He continued to stuff money into her pockets under the guise of his patron’s identity.
After a while, Richelle had become numb to it and stopped bothering about it.
Still, from the amount of money he transferred, Richelle deduced that the intel was quite useful to the Federation.
After working through the night, Richelle finally finished organizing all the data her mentor had given her. After sending the package to Sonia Seaton, she took a shower, ate some bread, drank some milk, and texted Roy.
“I stayed up all night. I’m going to sleep now, and we’ll talk later.”
Roy replied quickly, “Good girl, go sleep.”
After reading his response, Richelle quickly drifted off to sleep.
At that moment, Roy was having a video call with Kennedy Green.
“Uncle, there’s a problem we might have overlooked all this time.”
From the intel he received from Margareth, Roy deduced a possibility.
“What problem?”
“There should be a backup division of The Thompsons and The Lilliputs in Leutonia, and this division handles the entire process—from cultivation to refining, purification, and distribution.”
Kennedy looked serious, “Yes, I talked to Leutonia’s leader after receiving your intel. From his tone, they only have some clues about the distribution. They haven’t discovered anything else.”
“Uncle, it seems that The Thompsons and The Lilliputs thought I was dead, so they started acting more brazenly.”
Kennedy nodded, “Yes, it’s possible that they let their guard down. It’s also possible that, after the destruction of their headquarters in the central region, they had no choice but to activate this backup division. The bigger the operation, the more likely it would attract Leutonia’s attention.”
After analyzing the situation, Roy became even more convinced that his decision to feign death was the right choice.
“There’s another reason. Richelie’s kidnapping destroyed their secret channel, which they had used for decades. In other words, they can’t transport their goods out of the country now, but they still have orders to fulfill. So they have no choice but to use their backup division as a temporary headquarters.”
Upon hearing this, Kennedy couldn’t help but praise Roy.
“I have to commend you on this. It’s thanks to your keen eye for talent that you managed to protect that hacker. He played a crucial role in our recent major operations. I’ve been searching for that secret passage ever since I took office but couldn’t find it. He managed to uncover it in just a few days. You must retain such talent..”
