He had always cared about his reputation.
He did not want to continue relying on others either.
If they did not figure something out soon, he and Helena would really end up on the streets.
Helena scoffed. “Which of your underlings hasn’t fled the moment trouble arose? Do you still care about your
reputation? Your reputation’s been destroyed after everything that happened at Duncan’s house!”
“Shut up!”
Kai yelled, fuming with rage.

He only revealed it because he was drunk.
Helena realized she hit Kai’s sore spot and softly said, “Kai… I’m sorry…”
After all, Kai approached Duncan to help her repay a 20 million debt.
Kai grabbed a beer from the fridge and went to the balcony.
He stared at the night outside, quietly drowning his sorrows in alcohol.
At Baroque’s subsidiary office, the fire from the server room had spread to the warehouse.
Night shift security and workshop employees were all trying to save the important items stored there.
The fire brigade had already arrived.
Firefighters were trying to put out the fire with their hoses.
Strangely, the more they poured water on it, the bigger the flames got.
“This is weird…”
A young firefighter adjusted his helmet as he continued to battle the flames.
A distraught Hans approached and said, “Sirs, please, don’t let the fire reach the warehouse…”
The warehouse contained imported components and USB drives.
It took three whole months to procure these vital components for upgrading their old chip machines.
For their project with Drake, they needed to enhance the performance of these chip machines.
If anything happened to these components, the delivery date for the Drake project would be delayed by at least

Hans shook his head with a wry smile, “That’s a server room with higher temperatures. Why would we store

The firefighter sighed, “Someone must have started this fire intentionally. They must have added a certain chemical

A massive explosion rang out, originating from the server room. The shockwave knocked
several firefighters off their feet.
Flames instantly engulfed the warehouse.
With a face of utter despair, Hans muttered, “It’s over… All is lost!”
As Hera parked her car outside the company, she heard the explosion from inside the factory.
The blast was deafening.
She gripped the steering wheel tightly, remaining motionless.
