Chapter 686

“Is this young man Harold Gamble, the military supply minister?" Sylvia

wondered as she looked at him. He was in his early thirties and held

real power with his control over military resources in the Middle East.

"Mr. Maskelyne, this situation is very tricky. Our countries have had a

strategic partnership for developing new energy sources, but there

have been some mistakes," Harold said straight to the point. “The

entire system's stability has been compromised and we need your help

to solve this problem."

“It would be great if we could take our new energy development to a

higher level."

"We'll meet whatever you need as long as you agree to assist us."

Harold promised.

“If you can provide us with some technical talents, that would be even

better,” he added.

Harold's intentions were clear and his demeanor was vastly different

from Chaz's earlier attitude.

Sylvia thought to herself that men with vision like Harold are truly

different; only they can rise so high up in society by recognizing current

situations and taking appropriate action when necessary.

Franklin locked eyes with Harold coldly; he exuded an unyielding

authority that nobody could refuse. "Mr. Gamble, I came here

specifically for solving our new energy issues."

"But first we need to identify where exactly these problems lie before

finding solutions.”

Harold breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Franklin say this despite

their earlier conflict at the door. "Alright then, Mr. Maskelyne... but I'm

not sure what you want..."

Franklin spoke coolly while deepening his gaze, "I heard about an

unnamed island near Middle East recently discovered. I want

ownership of it."

Upon hearing Franklin's request, Harold furrowed his brow. "Mr.

Maskelyne... that island is within Middle Eastern territory... I may not

meet your request..."

He finished speaking before smiling warmly again, "But let's put it aside

for now. You must be tired from traveling, why don't we relax? Chaz!

Why don't you bring those girls inside?"

Chaz turned around immediately after hearing him speak and ordered

Justice, "Mr. Arnold! Quickly arrange some beautiful ladies along with

talented performers! And bring two decks of cards too so everyone can

unwind!"

Justice quickly went out as soon as he received the order.

As he walked, he muttered to himself, "What's going on? How come Mr.

Gamble is getting involved too?"

And from the looks of Chaz, it seems like the matter of new energy has

been handed over to Mr. Gamble?

I can't figure it out.

A few minutes later, Justice brought about five very beautiful girls back

to the conference room, who were not only beautiful, but also very sexy

and revealing in their dress.

Sylvia calmly watched these girls.

Then he gave Franklin a cold glance again.

As if sensing her eerie gaze, Franklin glanced at her from afar.

The man remained as cold and dominant as ever, casting another

glance at those people from the Middle East with their hypocritical

expressions.

"What's the point of having women come over when men are playing

cards?"

"Mr. Maskelyne, women can be great companions. Isn't that right?"

Chaz chuckled and stared at Franklin with a creepy smile on his face

as Franklin remained expressionless and indifferent.

"Sorry, I only like playing cards, I don't like beautiful women."

After Franklin finished speaking, he boldly sat down in front of the

conference room.

Sylvia nodded in admiration.

If Franklin dared to get involved with this woman, I'll be the first one

chopping his hands!

Harold chuckled and sat across from Franklin. "Mr. Maskelyne, how

about we play a game?"

"What's the stake?" Sylvia raised her eyebrows and spoke before

Franklin could, looking towards Harold. "It's no fun without a stake."

When Harold looked at Sylvia, there was a flash of amazement in his

eyes!

What a beautiful woman!

Did she just fire a gun outside?

He smirked and a smile appeared on his handsome face. "Does the

deputy chief also have an interest in playing?"

Sylvia sat down next to Franklin with a graceful and cool demeanor,

displaying a sharp and assertive presence.

Even though there were several beautiful young girls in the meeting

room, she still stood out as the most eye-catching and attention-

grabbing one.

The woman's slender and fair fingers seemed to casually play with the

cards on the table, while her dazzling eyes shone with a cold light like

glass.
