Chapter 180"The Grand Regent Hotel, Conference Room B. That’s where he has agreed to meet us today at 2 PM," Eric said, reading the message from Liam."So fast?" James asked, feeling suspicious. "Liam might have an ulterior motive for making everything fast-paced."Eric nodded. "The earlier, the better. Besides, the court appearances are in three days.""Still, I suspect something is amiss," James said. "You will go alone to the location and make the proper arrangements with them…”"Why do I have to go alone?" Eric asked, interrupting him, his brow furrowing with concern. "Don't you think it's dangerous? At Least come with me."James shook his head and leaned on the desk, rubbing his temples. He looked up at Eric, his expression serious. "I understand your concern, but going alone will make them less suspicious. If they see both of us, it might back them off or make them more guarded."Eric crossed his arms and shifted his weight from one foot to the other, clearly uneasy. "But what

Chapter 181As Eric extended his hand to Liam and Kai, James adjusted the volume on his earpiece, ready to listen to every word exchanged in the conference room above."Good afternoon, gentlemen. I'm Eric Wood. Thank you for meeting with me on such short notice," Eric said, shaking hands with both Liam and Kai.Liam stood and shook Eric's hand firmly, a smile on his face. "The pleasure is ours, Mr. Wood. I'm Liam Carter, and this is my associate, Nathaniel, Nathaniel Grey." He lied.Kai nodded and shook Eric's hand as well. "It's good to finally meet you, Mr. Wood. We believe this partnership could be very beneficial for both our interests."Eric nodded and took a seat, his guards standing discreetly by the door. "I've been briefed on your proposal, Mr. Carter. You mentioned you're interested in buying a share in EMC. Could you elaborate on that?"Liam leaned forward slightly, his expression serious. "Absolutely. EMC is a fast-rising company in the business world, and we see great pote

Chapter 182"Seriously? Nathaniel Grey?" Kai said, shooting Liam a playful glare and giving him a light punch on the arm just as Eric left the conference room.Liam smirked and chuckled. "Well, I couldn't think of any other name. Besides, Nathaniel Grey suits you perfectly.""Seriously? I'm Japanese, and you expect me to have an English name?""I'm sorry, I didn't think about that. You can always say you have an Asian mom.""Now I'm gonna be stuck with a name I don't like for a long time," Kai fumed.Liam laughed again. "It's no big deal. Don't worry about it. Everything is going according to plan.”They continued to banter until Liam's phone buzzed with a notification. He glanced at the screen and saw a message from Alisha: "Hey, you haven't sent me the location for our date yet. Did you forget?"He suddenly remembered he had a date with Alisha that evening. "Oh, crap! I have a date with Alisha tonight," he exclaimed, looking at his watch impatiently.He quickly typed a response, "S

Chapter 183James watched with keen interest as the two men who matched the description that was provided by Eric as Liam Carter and Nathaniel Grey emerged from the elevator and made their way down into the bustling bar below.He observed their demeanor, noting the confident strides and the subtle yet authoritative aura that seemed to surround them.As they walked through the crowded bar, James couldn't shake the feeling of unease that settled in the pit of his stomach.There was something off about Nathaniel Grey's appearance that caught James's attention. Despite his English-sounding name, Grey bore the features of someone of Japanese descent. This incongruity only served to deepen James's suspicions about the true identities and motives of these two businessmen.‘Who are these men, and what do they want?’ he thought to himself.As planned, moments after they left the hotel, James casually stood up and followed behind them as they exited the hotel and ventured out onto the bustling

Chapter 184After checking out, Liam and Kai stepped outside. They got into the car, which smoothly pulled away from the curb and merged into the evening traffic.As they continued driving, Kai glanced in the rearview mirror and noticed the same car from earlier trailing behind them. “That car is still following us," he said.Liam turned slightly to peer out the back window, confirming Kai's observation. "Looks like we have a persistent follower. Let's see how serious they are."He directed the driver to take a series of random turns. They wound through busy streets, quiet residential areas, and even a couple of alleys, but the car remained close behind, mirroring their every move."This is getting interesting," Liam muttered. "Whoever it is, they're not giving up easily. Should we confront him?" Liam asked, glancing at Kai.Kai considered the suggestion for a moment before shaking his head. "Not yet. It'll not be easy to confront whoever it is right now," Kai said, his tone decisive.

Chapter 185It was around 6:30 pm when Alisha drove down to Azul Bistro for her date. Unknown to her, someone had been following her car since earlier that day, a street stalker hired by Williams.She drove for a few minutes before noticing a particular SUV trailing behind her. She didn’t recognize it and had no idea who it was. She contemplated confronting the driver but decided against it, fearing it might be dangerous.Finally, she arrived at the upscale restaurant where Liam had asked her to meet him. She glanced at her rearview mirror and saw the stalker still behind her. Trembling for a moment, she took out her phone and called Liam."Hello, I'm at the restaurant now. Where are you?""I'm inside. Come to the table nearest the back exit. You'll find a man in a white T-shirt and blue chinos; that's me," he laughed."Okay..." she stuttered. "I don't know, but someone has been following me ever since I left home, and I thought I should let you know." Her heart was pounding."Followi

Chapter 186How about you, Liam?" Alisha asked. "Anything interesting happened at your job today?""Actually, yes," Liam said, smiling. "I had several meetings with potential new clients today.”"Oh really care to share about it?" Alisha asked him.“One wants us to develop a marketing campaign for a product launch. They have some really innovative ideas, and it could be a big account for us." Liam lied, trying to act much more professional."That sounds exciting," Alisha said. "What kind of product are they launching?""It's a new line of eco-friendly household cleaners," Liam explained. "They're made from all-natural ingredients and come in recyclable packaging. The company is really passionate about sustainability.""That's fantastic," Alisha said, impressed. "It's great to see more companies taking environmental issues seriously.""Absolutely," Liam agreed. "It's one of the reasons I'm excited about this project. It's nice to work on something that aligns with my values."Alisha no

Chapter 187Just as Kai got a text from Liam, he made his way back to the front of the restaurant to confront the stalker.He had casually sat by the side of the restaurant and kept an eye out, waiting for the guy who was stalking them to pull up but found no sign of him. Instead, he had seen other cars pull up and pedestrians walk in, but there was no sign of the SUV that had been following them.He had looked away and given up hope, thinking the stalker might have retreated. Now Liam had texted that Alisha just arrived and said someone was stalking her. Kai immediately thought it was the same stalker who had been following them earlier. To further confirm his suspicion, he had asked Liam for a description of the car, and it matched the vehicle that had been trailing them. He was convinced it was the same person.He casually stood up and walked to the front of the restaurant. He approached cautiously, his instincts honed by years of training with the Shadow Lotus.There were a lot o

Chapter 188**NEXT DAY:**Williams was in his office when he got the shocking news that a street stalker was killed in an upscale restaurant, Azul Bistro, the previous evening.He quickly took out his anonymous phone to contact the street stalker he had sent to monitor Alisha, but the phone rang without an answer. This made him believe that the street stalker was indeed the one who had been declared dead by gunshots to the head in his SUV Mercedes.Williams leaned back in his chair, his mind racing. "Damn it," he muttered under his breath. He knew this was going to complicate things. He had sent the stalker to keep tabs on Alisha discreetly, and now this mess had erupted.He pondered who could have taken down his man.He needed to find out and fast.He decided to hack into Azul Bistro’s customer log from the previous day.Seeing that it was just a restaurant, it didn't take him long to break into their system.He went through the IDs of their customers from yesterday. As he scrolled,

Chapter 189Williams made a mental note to dig deeper into Liam's recent activities and any potential connections he might have with EMC.Williams picked up his phone and called his most trusted investigator. "Greg, I need you to gather everything you can on Liam Carter. I want to know his movements, his business dealings, his personal connections – everything. And do it discreetly."Greg responded promptly, "Understood, sir. I'll get right on it."Williams hung up and stared at the screen, deep in thought. Liam Carter's involvement added a new layer of complexity to his plans. He had to proceed with caution, but also with urgency. This was not a man to be underestimated.He stood up, walked over to the window, and looked out over the city, deep in thought.After some time, he went back to the images the CCTV staff had shown him, scrutinizing every detail.He focused on the interactions Liam had aside from those with Alisha. There was no one else except a man wearing a face mask, sli
