Donald held the coffee mug to his lips and took a sip before calmly saying to Wilde, “Indeed, you did well this time. Are you interested in continuing to partner with me?”
“Of course!” Wilde answered excitedly, “I've been a journalist for almost ten years and have lots of friends in this industry. Don't worry. As long as you can provide me with scandals, I can take it and spread it no matter what.”
Wilde was confident as he grinned smugly.
The corners of Donald's lips curved into a grin. “All right, then. Go back and wait for my news. Oh, and take this envelope with you.”
Seeing that Donald did not want the money, Wilde immediately realized he could have found the right backer.
After Wilde left, a waiter approached Donald and said respectfully, “Mr. Campbell, our boss would like to meet you.”
“Your boss?” Donald asked in confusion. “I don't think I'm acquainted with your boss.”
“You'll know when you meet her, Mr. Campbell.”
It was broad daylight, so Donald was not afraid of being attacked.
He followed the waiter to a private room. Pushing the door open, he entered and discovered that the boss the waiter had mentioned was none other than Mila.
“Why are you here?” Donald asked in surprise.
“I acquired this cafe to meet with you more conveniently.”
Mila talked about acquiring the cafe as if it was a small matter. After all, she was the heir to the Zurlo family. She was not short of money.
“Why did you ask me to meet you here?”
“The Ten Prestigious Families are making a move.”
Mila took out a thick file and handed it to Donald.
He flipped open the file, furrowing his brows as he glanced through the documents.
It was an intelligence project led by the Youngblood family. Their goal was to build a vast intelligence network in Pollerton.
All of the Ten Prestigious Families would be involved with the intelligence network. One of their aims included spying on and gathering information on the families' targets to kill them.
