Chapter 784:
After taking down that fraud syndicate, you told me to take a break, and itâs been nearly three years since we last spoke. If it werenât for the occasional news from the Shadow Moon Society, Iâd have thought I was kicked out.
By the way, I heard youâre getting engaged. Iâd love to see your joy.â
Harlee placed the phone down on the table and pushed it slightly away, interjecting sharply, âGet to the point.â
The man on the other end, Jonathan Archer, was the first member of the Shadow Moon Society, which Harlee had established.
Apart from being the son of a noble from Uwhor, Jonathan was also the chief of the international police organization.
Jonathan massaged his temples, resigned.
Despite the years, Harleeâs approach hadnât softened.
He found Tonya more endearing.
Yet, Tonya hadnât taken to the man heâd suggested and had instead fallen for Ritchie, his âsworn enemy.â
Jonathan exhaled a sigh, saying, âCanât I just call to chat?â
âYou have ten seconds,â Harlee said curtly.
âI actually do have something importantâ¦â Jonathan quickly interjected.
âYouâre aware of yesterdayâs incident, right? I heard those two hold a grudge against you, so when the head of Gruinia pushed for their release using his influence, I rejected it. I reached out to Tonya immediately, and she mentioned those two were caught thanks to your strategy. Is that true? Should I release them? Do you want me to bring them to you?â

Gruinia was infamous for its fraud operations and served as a tool for Mechuique. Not long ago, Harlee and Kareem had taken down Gruiniaâs largest fraud network, and more recently, theyâd managed to have its leading figure arrested by international police.
At the recent international meeting, Gruinia aggressively demanded the return of the two, putting pressure on the international police through Mechuique. Jonathan was aware of the twoâs animosity toward Harlee, prompting his urgent call, though initially, he couldnât reach her.
Fortunately, from Tonya, Jonathan learned that the capture of the two had been part of Harleeâs plan.
Because of this, he knew he couldnât release them so carelessly, or capturing the leading figure of the fraud syndicate again wouldnât be so easy.
The destiny of these two wasnât vital to the organization, but if Harlee was displeased, their problems would only multiply. That was why Jonathan, as the respected head of the international police, had joined the Shadow Moon Society.
Harlee calmly directed, âRelease them temporarily to catch bigger fish.â
Jonathan instantly grasped Harleeâs plan, his eyes sparkling.
âYouâre brilliant!â His voice brightened considerably.
âAlright, Iâll let those two go for now, and when weâve apprehended the key players, Iâll hand them over to you.
Anyway, are you really tying the knot? I heard your engagement celebration is scheduled for the end of this month. May I come and join the celebration?â Jonathan was practically pleading.
He knew better than to attend Harleeâs engagement party without her explicit approval.
Harlee declined immediately.
