Chapter 136 The Most Outstanding Man She’s Ever Met

Within a restricted zone in the capital city, an elderly man in simple clothing sat on a sofa in an office.

Before long, another elderly man surnamed Donald entered the room holding a cup of tea.

"Have a seat!" the elderly man in simple clothing gestured to the sofa.

"What kind of trouble do you want to bother me with this time?" Donald, seated now, spoke up.

"You've heard about that kid's situation, right?" The elderly man handed a special brand cigarette to Donald.

"Isn't this something you wanted to see?" Donald took the cigarette and spoke lightly.

"Can't you just speak nicely?" The elderly man gave Donald a glare.

"Did I say something wrong?" Donald lit the cigarette and took a drag.

"From the day he reached Ozin, most of the subsequent events played out pretty much as you had anticipated. You old fox you!"

"Well, isn't that for his own good too?" The elderly man also took a drag from his cigarette. "But, there might be something you don't know yet."

"What is it?" Donald inquired.

"He left Rakshasa in the Place of Darkness!"

"And then?" Donald continued. "Then what happened?"

"Though Rakshasa didn't tell me the specifics, only that she wants to stay there, but from my understanding of that kid, he definitely didn't let Rakshasa stay just for simple reasons!" The old man in plain clothes responded.

"What are you trying to say?" Donald furrowed his eyebrows slightly.

"I'm worried..." The old man had a thoughtful tone. "There were already people who had some doubts about him holding two positions at once, and even rumors saying he declared himself king in the Western Region and disobeyed military orders. It's not a small ambition! If at this time, Place of Darkness sends out another team, some people will have even more to say."

Donald snorted coldly. "These people are just full of themselves. Whoever said that can come directly to me and see if I won't chop them down!"

"When will you change your temper?" The old man in plain clothes was speechless. "Do you want that kid to be even more troubled?" After speaking, he looked ahead with a thoughtful expression and continued, "However, if he can really pull together a strong team over there, it would be great for the country of Glavale. In recent years, some countries with ulterior motives have been increasing their investment in Place of Darkness and sending some powerful figures from within their own systems over there for training. It's obvious what they're up to!"

"Mm!" Donald nodded slightly after taking a sip of tea. "Those countries are thriving over there and seeing Place of Darkness as their second war department. We should also pay attention to this area, can't be blindly arrogant."

"Yes!" The old man nodded his head.

After pausing briefly they changed topics.

"Oh right," the old man said, "I just received news that SHADOW's people completely wiped out Ink Pavilion's external base in the Eastern District."

"Hmm?" Donald paused slightly with his cigarette in hand. "Are you saying that he knows about what happened back then?"

"Even if he doesn't know the specific details, he probably has guessed most of it." The old man in said with a slightly serious expression.

"But it's better this way. We couldn't have kept it a secret for him forever, sooner or later, he would find out!"

"Those people were foolish back then and did something unacceptable. They thought they could get away with it without anyone noticing. It's really laughable!"

"I really want to see their reaction when that kid stands in front of them one day."

Donald slammed his teacup heavily on the coffee table and took a deep drag from his cigarette. "Heaven may forgive sins but man cannot live past them. They brought this upon themselves, so there's no one to blame!" Said he.

The old man nodded in agreement and added, "But now is not the time for him to come to the capital yet. Talk to him when you have some free time."

"I see." Donald nodded After taking another drag from his cigarette, he continued, "What do we do about Jake Hanson's position? Leaving it vacant for too long isn't good either, and Roderick Chasey can't control the East District anymore, there are already signs of things getting out of hand over there."

"The plan is still being discussed," replied the old man. "Some suggest dividing East District into two parts while others propose merging East District under West District's management."

"What do you think?" Donald asked.

"Power comes with responsibility, but also attracts attention. Sometimes that might not be beneficial for him." The old man spoke calmly.

"You're overthinking it. From what I know about him, even if you gave him the entire east side, he wouldn't take it!" Donald responded.

"I understand," nodded the old man. After speaking, his gaze fixed ahead with a thoughtful expression.

"I do have a suitable candidate in mind. It just depends on whether or not he's willing."

...

It was Harleen's third day working at SunPark Group.

The office was located in downtown Ozin, occupying three floors of an office building across from Ozin Tower. Harleen's office was on the eighteenth floor.

"Ms Knight, this is last quarter's marketing report for your review. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask me." Said a beautiful young colleague as she walked into Harleen's office with a report in hand.

"Thank you Ava!" Harleen smiled and set aside her work.

"It's okay, it's my job." Ava Jones returned the smile.

"Ava, do you have some time now? Can we chat?" Harleen smiled again as she handed back the report to Ava Jones.

"Sure! What would you like to talk about, Ms Knight?" Ava Jones nodded her head curiously.

"Just casual conversation, I'm new here and still getting familiar with everything. If it isn't too much trouble for you, could you introduce me around?"

Harleen walked over from behind her desk towards the sofa area and gestured for Ava Jones to sit down beside her.

"Please sit down."

"Of course," replied Ava as she sat down next to Harleen and began introducing her around.

Half an hour later, Ava Jones described everything she knew to Harleen.

"Thank you so much, Ava!" Harleen said gratefully after listening to her.

"You're welcome, Ms Knight. It's what I should do." Ava Jones replied with a smile. After a pause, she showed a playful expression and said, "Ms Knight, you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. You are so gorgeous!"

"Thank you, and so are you." Harleen smiled sweetly.

"Compared to you, I am an ugly duckling!" Ava Jones responded. "And your temperament is so good that whoever marries you will be blessed in their past life!"

Harleen chuckled and said, "I'm already married and my child is almost five years old."

"What? But you're so young, you have a child?" Ava Jones exclaimed in surprise. Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

"Yes," Harleen smiled again. "Can't you tell?"

"I can't tell at all! With your figure, it doesn't look like you've had a child before!" Ava Jones looked envious.

"If I have children in the future, I hope to have half of your figure," she continued after another pause. "Is your husband particularly outstanding? Otherwise he wouldn't be able to catch your eye!"

"Hmm." Harleen nodded with a thoughtful expression on her face. "Indeed, he's the most outstanding man I've ever met."

"I knew it! Otherwise how could he match up with someone like you?" Ava Jones nodded as well.

Just then, the sound of high heels echoed through the room and a tall woman walked in.

The woman was around 27 or 28 years old and could be considered a beauty with her well-defined features. Her already curvaceous figure was accentuated by her professional suit.

Her name was Isabella Martinez, the finance manager of SunPark Group.

"Ms Knight, what's going on with your marketing department? The collection rate for last quarter was only sixty percent!" Isabella spoke in a condescending tone as she entered the office and looked at Harleen.
