Although he knew this woman was a spy, Kong Tai did not show any particular emotion.
It wasn't like she was planting a spy by his side, what did it have to do with him!
In fact, these spies were the eyes of the World Government. For ordinary people, they posed no threat.
After all, this was Carter Island, not Water Seven. Dotto was not Franky, nor Iceburg. To the World Government, sending a spy here was probably just to gather information!
After the silver-haired group left the room, Dotto finally stepped out.
He walked to Kong Tai's side and beckoned to the beauty in the corridor.
Turning to Kong Tai, he said, "Mr. Kong Tai, this is my secretary, Miss Kali."
As he spoke, he turned and said to Kali, who was approaching, "Kali, this is our major client for this shipyard, Mr. Kong Tai."
"Hello, Mr. Kong Tai!"
Kali stood up straight and bowed slightly to Kong Tai, holding a notebook in her left hand and extending her right.
*Thud!*
*Thud!*
*Thump, thump, thump!!*
She was a little afraid to look Kong Tai in the eyes, so she could only keep her head down.
To outsiders, it looked like she was showing respect to Kong Tai.
In fact, it was because she had been intimidated by Kong Tai's beautiful, sky-blue eyes that seemed to see through people's hearts.
Kong Tai looked at Kali and shook her hand.
"Hello, Miss Kali!"
He let go of her hand, showing no unusual reaction.
Then he turned to Dotto, "Mr. Dotto, shall we go? We came straight here after landing on the island, and frankly, we're a bit hungry!"
"Haha!! I wonder what delicacies Mr. Dotto has prepared for us. I'm sure it will be delicious!"
As he said this, he smacked his lips and laughed, "I'm really looking forward to it!"
"Haha!!"
Seeing Kong Tai's expectant look, Dotto couldn't help but smile, a smile spreading across his face.
"Although Carter Island is not an island known for its cuisine, we still have many special delicacies here that will surely satisfy Mr. Kong Tai and your companions."
After speaking, he turned to Kali and instructed, "Kali, please go inside, take the Berry that Mr. Kong Tai paid to our shipyard to my office, and then gather the master craftsmen from the shipyard for a meeting at Dock No. 2."
"Yes, Mr. Carter."
Kali, holding her notebook, stood to the side and nodded at Dotto.
"Haha!!"
Dotto withdrew his gaze, gestured for Kong Tai and his group to follow him, and said, "Let's go! Guests, the mess hall is just ahead, not far, only a few steps away."
With that, he took the lead, lifting his foot and walking outside.
Kong Tai glanced at Kali one last time, a fleeting, inexplicable emotion flashing in his pupils, before turning his head and following Dotto.
Cold sweat rapidly covered Kali's forehead and entire body.
It soaked her hair and even her white shirt, making the contours underneath faintly visible, making her appear alluring.
She gazed at Kong Tai's retreating back. Even though the sun was shining brightly outside, her entire body felt as if it were in the dead of winter, not only from head to toe but also in her heart, which was as cold as ice.
"He must have, he must have discovered my true identity."
Kali's heart pounded like a drum. In that instant, she had felt the aura of death.
If she had been unsure before whether Kong Tai had discovered her, then Kong Tai's last glance made her certain: he absolutely had.
Kong Tai's last glance was likely a warning to her.
A warning not to do anything superfluous.
She stood there for a long time, until Kong Tai and his group had completely disappeared into a building opposite with Dotto. Only then did her tensed spirit and body finally relax.
The moment she relaxed, her legs buckled, and she almost fell to the ground.
She reached out and wiped the sweat from her forehead, then, bending over with her hands on her knees, she gasped for air.
*Snap!*
The notebook she had been holding in her arms, now free from her grasp, fell to the ground.
Kali looked at the notebook but did not reach for it.
She had to consider whether to report the whereabouts of the silver-haired group to the World Government.
A day earlier, the World Government had contacted her through her superior.
They instructed her to report the whereabouts of the silver-haired group immediately upon discovery.
When she first received the order, she hadn't taken it seriously.
Because she knew the silver-haired group was on another route, how could they possibly cross routes to Carter Island?
However, to her surprise, the silver-haired group arrived at Carter Island a day later and even came to the company where she was working as a spy to order a ship.
Building a ship takes time.
This meant that she would have to face the silver-haired group for the next few days.
Although she didn't know the size of the silver-haired group's order, judging by Dotto's attitude towards them, she could tell it was a significant one.
If the order was significant, then the silver-haired group were major clients, so she had to keep close to them for the next few days to confirm their needs and ensure the shipbuilding process went smoothly.
Although she really didn't want to deal with the silver-haired group, she was Dotto's secretary!
This was her job, and she couldn't find any excuse to avoid it, unless she no longer wanted to be a spy here.
The thought of spending a few days with the silver-haired group made her tremble all over.
"That guy felt too dangerous."
If it weren't for the World Government's orders, and if she hadn't been brainwashed by the World Government since childhood, she would have left immediately. She never wanted to see those cold eyes of Kong Tai again.
After resting enough, she bent down, picked up the notebook, straightened up, and hugged it tightly to her chest.
It was as if doing so increased her sense of security.
Just then, she looked up and saw shipbuilders walking by, looking at her from time to time. This instantly brought her back to reality.
She quickly turned around and walked into the reception room.
With a "bang," she closed the door, shutting out the fiery gazes of the shipbuilders outside.
"Heh heh!! I wonder what's wrong with Secretary Kali, sweating so much."
*Gulp—!*
The shipbuilder retracted his gaze, swallowed, rubbed his hands, and walked forward, his face filled with a lewd expression, as if he was thinking of something.
"So white, so big!"
"Haha!!"
The shipbuilder shook his head.
A beauty like Kali was not someone an ordinary shipbuilder like him could have. Usually, just feasting his eyes was enough.
After all, Kali was considered the goddess of their shipyard!
Most of the shipbuilders in the shipyard admired their goddess, but with their looks and income, even if the goddess were willing to be with them, they wouldn't be able to support her.
So, they could only fantasize about it.
Kali usually didn't pay attention to the shipbuilders' ardent gazes and sometimes even joked with them.
She wondered what was wrong with her today? She saw him and then turned and went into the room.
"She must be in a bad mood!"
The shipbuilder withdrew his thoughts and continued walking, but his waist remained bent. She wondered why?
