Chapter 480

Rhett and Frederick were in the CEO's office situated in the headquarters of Killian Corporation.

After listening to Frederick's report, Rhett asked, 'Did you manage to contact Raven?'

"Not yet." Frederick dipped his head low.

Frowning in disapproval, Rhett chided sternly, "What have you been up to the past few days?"

Frederick had been busy keeping his controversy under control, but he didn't dare to mention a word about the private pictures.

Thus, he reported what happened that day, "I contacted Raven's assistant, Leon Kirkland. The discussion went on smoothly, but it was disrupted by Hera. She was there that day. She said that our offer was too low and wanted to compare it with XS Corportion's offer. She's trying to bait us into increasing the offer."

"Why was she there?' Rhett asked.

"Leon said that she's his assistant, but I doubt it. I think she's helping Uncle Bernard. She's approaching Leon to fish for Raven's information," Frederick guessed.

After all, whoever could clinch a contract with Raven would be the winner.

Chad only looked at the results, not the process. It had been more than two years since Bernard was dispatched to a subsidiary in Norburgh. Frederick believed that Bernard was trying to claim credit so that he could return to the headquarters.

"When are you going to take action then? Are you going to sit still until the day they signed Raven?" Rhett urged.

Bernard's presence was already pressuring the whole family. Now with Hera in the game, they felt more threatened.

They couldn't afford to spare Bernard and Hera, but especially Hera. If she brought up the incident that happened that year, Rhett's family would be done for.

Frederick responded, 'I'm heading to Norburgh soon. According to our reliable sources, Raven will be attending XS Corporation's third-anniversary party tonight. I'll meet up with Raven for a face-to-face discussion."

"I'm coming with you. We must sign the contract with Raven tonight," said Rhett

Rhett asked his secretary to look for the invitation letter from XS Corporation. Before this, he wasn't planning on going, but since Raven was going to show up, he changed his mind.

They had to sign the contract with Raven before XS Corporation would beat them to it!

If XS Corporation found out that Killian Corporation intended to collaborate with Raven, XS Corporation would surely try to preempt them! Based on how they had been going against Killian Corporation, it was something XS Corporation might do.

That was why Rhett wished to go in person. He had to get the job done tonight!

Besides, taking advantage of the opportunity, he could scout a few famous hackers. He believed that there was no way XS Corporation was going to sign with all of the 100 hackers.

In the evening, at Norburgh, James, Gideon, and Gino were dressed in suits, heading to XS Corporation to attend their third-anniversary party.

Their car moved like a snail throughout the way. Traffic police and police officers could be seen everywhere. In addition to that, many SWAT police were on duty, as the entire city was on alert.

"What's going on? Is someone famous coming to Norburgh for inspection?" James got curious.

Gideon, who was scrolling through the news article, explained, "The security at railway stations, the airport, and ports is tighter than it is here. I heard that people were coming just to see the 100 hackers invited to XS

Corporation's third-anniversary party.

"Hackers don't usually expose themselves in real life, but XS Corporation is making it happen. They managed to gather them. Many travelers and senior executives from technology companies came after hearing the news. The number of foreign tourists visiting Norburgh Airport hit its highest record these two days." "More precisely, they're here to see Raven,' Gino corrected. He showed them the latest articles on the Cyber Web.

"It's not only tourists, hackers, and the representative team of Miridian National Space Administration. International police officers are here too. I heard that Miridian dispatched a team of special forces disguised as travelers into the country, but they were caught and stopped at the port. They tried their luck to enter the country, but they were driven away by the army. But they're still staying near Miridian port, waiting to catch Raven. They're determined to complete the mission this time.

"Unfortunately for them, our strong national defense is dispatched. Armies are securing the ports. They even dispatched a team to XS Corporation for security. The country is protecting Raven in case he's taken away to another country.
