After watching Fourth leave, Second spoke up, “Once Fourth finds out, there’s no avoiding her getting mad!”
“Better she gets mad than risks coming with us,” First replied.
“Yeah, as long as she’s safe, that’s what matters,” Second agreed.
First lowered his gaze and turned to him, “By the way, that shipment is going out tonight. Tara Green will pick me up later.
Are you still going tonight?”
Second thought for a moment, “Tonight? So soon? Will we make the flight in time?”
“The deal is set for around 12:30 a.m., and the flight is at 3 a.m. We can head straight there afterward. We’ll make it,” First
assured him.
Second listened, frowning, “In that case, let’s go together.”
First nodded, and they started walking back.
“Aren’t you worried about those people in Port City noticing us making a move now?” Second asked.
“If it weren’t for the Scarlett situation, we might delay. But we don’t have time to waste. We need to deal with this before
we can look for Scarlett. Besides, we don’t know what Tara Green has planned. We can’t let everything get tied up with
this,” First explained.
Second nodded, “Got it!”
“Let’s go see our great–grandfather and grandfather, and spend some time with them. We can also ask for their guidance,”
First suggested.
Second nodded, and the two of them went together.
In a five–star hotel in Damascus, Syria.

Scarlett sat in front of her computer, her fingers flying over the keyboard. Lines of green code flashed rapidly across the
black screen. Then the interface shifted, revealing a rectangular progress bar: twenty percent, thirty percent, fifty
percent…
As Scarlett watched the screen, her phone rang beside her computer.
Seeing the number, she swiped to answer it.
She didn’t speak first after connecting.
“Ms. Adler, it’s me.” It was her boss’s voice on the other end.
Scarlett paused for a moment, then placed the phone on the table and turned on the speaker. She typed something on the
computer, causing the interface to change again.
“Ms. Adler?”
Scarlett focused her gaze and finally spoke, “Sorry, the signal was bad just now. I can hear you now, please go ahead.”
The person on the other end clearly didn’t buy her words and said, “Ms. Adler, I’ve been here for a while, waiting at the
hotel. When are you going to come out and meet me? Some things are better discussed face–to–face.”
“I’m considering it,” Scarlett replied.
“Considering what?” the boss asked.
“How do I know you don’t have some other agenda?” Scarlett shot back.
The boss was taken aback. “Haven’t I already told you my intentions?”
“And how do I know you’re telling the truth?”
The boss hadn’t expected Scarlett to play this game. “What would make you believe me?”
“Isn’t that your problem? You should figure out what will convince me,” Scarlett continued, tapping away at her computer. Soon, a red dot appeared on her screen, marking a location. With a few more keystrokes, she pulled up the hotel’s
surveillance footage on her computer.

Seeing this, Scarlett leaned back lazily in her chair, picked up her phone from the table, turned off the speaker, and put it to
her ear.
“Ms. Adler, are you saying you don’t trust me?”
“Clearly, I don’t,” she replied.
The boss was left speechless by her bluntness.
“I know your father. Isn’t that proof enough?”
“Finding out my father’s name isn’t hard. Just ask around where I grew up, and anyone could tell you!”
“I’m not that bored, Ms. Adler. Your father was a member of the Red Mark Base. Not many people know that, right?”
“True, not many know, including me. So whatever you say, you say!”
The boss realized this woman was tough to deal with.
“You’ve seen the tattoos we share, similar yet different. What more proof do you need?” he asked, emphasizing each
word.
Scarlett paused for a moment. “That’s one reason that might convince me.”
“How many more reasons do you need?”
“I need proof!”
“Ms. Adler, most of the records about your father were destroyed back then. How can I prove it to you?” the boss said,
trying to keep his cool, though a hint of impatience slipped through his words.
“I believe you can.”
The boss was silent for a moment before saying, “Ms. Adler, I’m trying to help you because of my connection with your
father. But if you don’t trust me, then forget it. Consider these words unsaid.”
Scarlett’s eyes, sharp and discerning, glinted as she looked at her phone. Her voice carried a hint of cool detachment. “OK,

if that’s the case, then forget it.”

She was about to hang up.
“Wait!”
Her boss suddenly spoke up.
Holding the phone, Scarlett paused. “Anything else?”
The boss hesitated for a moment before speaking. “I’ll make a trip to the base. I should be able to find some clues about
your father.”
A smile played on Scarlett’s lips. “I appreciate you going out of your way.”
“Ms. Adler, I hope you can be as honest as your father was, and I look forward to our deal being successful.”
