Chapter 628: Chapter 627: Rebel
Perhaps because she had enjoyed her conversation with Yang Fei, Monica had a good appetite and ate a lot.
Ten minutes later, Monica wiped the corner of her mouth, and Yang Fei also put down his chopsticks. He had eaten dinner at home with Qin Yanyang before coming and was not hungry, he was merely keeping Monica company.
"Is Sky Net associated with your family?"
The two moved to the living room and sat facing each other, Yang Fei looking at Monica as he asked.
Monica said, "I don’t think so. Although our family is involved in various industries, we would not engage in industries that could clearly cause trouble."
Yang Fei smiled slightly, "Sky Net is swiftly developing and very powerful, now influencing major countries worldwide. What trouble could such an industry face?"
Monica said with a smile, "It appears limitless and glorious, but it’s too high-profile and too easy to offend people. Such an organization will not last long; it will inevitably cause major trouble. For instance, now they are troubled because they provoked you before."
Yang Fei laughed at himself, "Me? Haha, Sky Net certainly doesn’t regard me as a threat."
"Maybe that was true in the past, but after Lawrence died by your hand, the situation has changed," Monica said as she looked at Yang Fei. "The significance of an expert from the Divine List is enough to give the top level of Sky Net a headache."
Yang Fei smiled slightly and asked, "What about Heaven?"
Monica was taken aback.
Yang Fei continued, "What is your family’s relationship with Heaven?"
"Allies, I suppose," Monica replied after a brief hesitation. "Since ancient times, the Cavendish family has been closely connected with Heaven, and we have always been on good terms."
"Since you have Heaven backing you, you couldn’t possibly fear me, a newcomer on the Divine List, could you?" Yang Fei asked Monica.
Monica’s beautiful blue eyes scrutinized Yang Fei, a faint smile appearing on her face, "It seems you still doubt my sincerity."
Yang Fei shrugged helplessly, "Can’t be helped. We didn’t know each other before, and there’s been no foundation for cooperation. With such significant matters, caution is necessary."
Monica thought for a moment, then said, "Alright, the public apology I mentioned before will first be posted on the Underworld Forum, and I will ask Willie to personally come and apologize to you. The item taken from you will also be returned intact."
"Many were lost on this operation in the Military Department," Yang Fei said.
Monica’s heart tightened, "Willie and the others involved in this operation will pay for their actions."
"Good, as long as I see your sincerity, we can discuss cooperating," Yang Fei said.
Monica’s expression changed slightly, "Mr. Tang, our Cavendish family going this far is already showing the utmost sincerity and compromise. If this cannot bring about deep cooperation with your country, I will be unable to explain it to my family."
Yang Fei looked into her sincere eyes, considered Qin Yanyang’s advise, and after a slight pause, nodded, "Good, as long as you do what you’ve promised, I will cooperate with you."
"There is a saying in Divine Continent that goes ’A promise from a gentleman is unbreakable.’ I believe you are truly a gentleman," Monica said.
Yang Fei chuckled lightly, "I am certainly no scoundrel, you can be assured of that."
Monica, in front of Yang Fei, took out her phone and dialed a number. Once the call was connected, she said, "Express regret for this mistake immediately on the Underworld Forum, and bring those involved in this affair to the hotel personally, remember to bring that item with you."
"Little miss..." a reluctant voice came through the phone.
"That’s an order."
Monica spoke in a low voice, appearing frail and weak, but at this moment, she exuded an undeniable authority. Yang Fei could see a kind of angry flame in her deep blue eyes.
Yang Fei felt inexplicably uneasy, recalling the situation he had previously been trapped in an illusion.
This woman seemed harmless, but she was probably very dangerous, otherwise, she couldn’t possibly represent the Cavendish family in the Eastern regions.
"Are all these people in Divine Continent?" Yang Fei asked Monica as she hung up the phone.
Monica nodded, "Yes, this is our family’s sincerity."
Yang Fei smiled slightly, "It’s also your family’s strength, isn’t it? Being able to easily take things from the Military Department and now return to Divine Continent without anyone noticing, the Cavendish family indeed has significant power."
Monica smiled without speaking.
Five minutes later, the doorbell rang.
Monica opened the door, and Willie appeared at the doorway with two men.
One of them was Pusi, ranked fourth on the Divine List, and the other was a middle-aged Western man who looked about fifty years old, very ordinary. Even though he stood next to Willie, he was easily overlooked.
After scanning the three men, Monica suddenly turned her gaze back to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man, seemingly fearful of Monica’s stare, hung his head, avoiding eye contact.
Monica found it strange.
She felt this man was dangerous, yet even standing right in front of her, he gave off an illusion of being virtually nonexistent.
Suddenly, she disregarded his presence.
"Little aunt," Willie, holding a black briefcase, entered the room and greeted Monica respectfully.
Monica nodded and pointed at Yang Fei, "Go and apologize to Mr. Tang."
Willie looked up at Yang Fei, then showed a look of terror, walked over, placed the briefcase on the table, and bowed deeply to Yang Fei, "I’m sorry, Mr. Tang... boss, I apologize for my prior actions. I was unaware of your involvement with this item, and had I known, not even ten times the courage would have made me act recklessly."
Willie appeared genuinely fearful, with beads of sweat even forming on his forehead, clearly very afraid.
Yang Fei watched him, his expression calm.
But Willie felt a chilling spine, and the beads of sweat on his forehead became denser.
"Did you orchestrate all this?" Yang Fei asked.
Willie trembled all over and nodded, "Yes... yes, I’m sorry, Mr. Tang, I genuinely didn’t know this item was related to you. Please, for the sake of my little aunt, forgive my previous ignorance."
Yang Fei chuckled, extended his hand, and patted the black briefcase, "Is the item inside?"
"Yes, untouched," Willie quickly nodded.
Yang Fei said, "Open it."
Upon hearing this, Willie’s expression shifted slightly, but he immediately stood up, and gestured behind him, "Come over, help Mr. Tang open the briefcase."
Pusi and the middle-aged man stepped forward quickly.
"You open it yourself," Yang Fei told Willie.
A flicker of rage shot through Willie’s eyes as he leaped backward, waving a large hand, "Kill him!"
"Stop, Willie, what are you doing..." Monica’s expression drastically changed as she scolded loudly.
Moving swiftly, Willie retreated next to Monica, grabbed her throat with one hand, his face ferocious, "The dignity of the Cavendish family cannot be violated, my dear little aunt, you have made a grave mistake, you no longer qualify to be the family’s spokesperson in the Eastern region."
