Chapter 557: New CEO
Translator: _Min_Editor: Caron_
In an old and low residential building in the rural area of Wanghai City, a Caucasian male in a grey jacket leaned against the radiator. His eyes were closed with a pleasant expression.
”I like this country. Whether it's the wealthy or poor, they can all enjoy warmth equally in the chilly winter.”
”Giles, are you telling me you've been zoning out?” The man sitting by the window looked to this side with a gloomy expression.
The man referred to as Giles smiled. ”What else? My dear Ladisiv, you should learn to enjoy your current life.”
Ladisiv's face was still gloomy. He continued to stare at the grinning Giles for a long time before looking away.
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.
They looked at each other and exchanged eye contact then Ladisiv put his hand on his waist while moving toward the door.
After confirming the identity of the person at the door, Ladisiv was relieved and opened the heavy door.
A man wearing a hat entered the room along with a gust of wind. He closed the door behind him and shook the snow off his body before dragging his feet into the living room.
”What's the situation?” Ladisiv asked in an undertone.
”Mission failed,” the man replied with broken English. He took off his jacket and threw it on the sofa.
”That's unfortunate… Where's our Mr. Warrior?” Giles asked.
”Hirata was captured and mostly transported out of the country by Future Group.”
”Professor won't be happy.” Ladisiv's face grew even more gloomy because that meant he just kissed his bonus goodbye.
In contrast to the fanatic ”alien hobbyist,” he didn't care about the hidden conflict between the company and Willie Society led by the Rothschild family, nor did he care about ”Burakkuboto” or the ”Golden Apple.” As a mercenary, he only cared about money.
”The professor won't be happy… or he could feel otherwise.”
”Oh?” Giles looked at the man in surprise.
”Because I saw something interesting.” The man laughed lightly, took off the hat on his head, and put it on the hanger by the wall. ”Perhaps our enemy isn't only a pawn of Willie Society.”
If Xia Shiyu was here, she would be shocked.
Because the face under the hat belonged to the suicide attacker who should've been blown to pieces.
He should've been dead.

Because of what happened last night, the higher-ups increased the security level of Jiang Chen by two. Although his driver was still Liu Haotian, Jiang Chen could clearly sense that there wasn't only one car following his Hongqi L9.
The number of police vehicles on the street increased exponentially. The higher-ups were fuming at the explosion that occurred at the hotel and held countless people in charge responsible for this incident.
Inside a coffee shop, Jiang Chen met the newly appointed CEO.
