Leon's mouth twitched.
"Will he be that ruthless? If he finds out you're Raven, he'll probably want to recruit you into Killian Corporation.
"Then, the Killian family would be your backer, and you could use their influence to smooth things over with Miridian. You could maybe get them to stop chasing you."
"Forget it," Hera replied casually.
"He's told me before that he's not doing well with the Killian family and wants to make it on his own."
Leon didn't know what to say.
He wondered what "not doing well" meant, given that he could marry, inherit, and become the next head of the family.
Hera drank half of her coffee as they talked. She then pulled out a silver USB drive from her pocket and inserted it into the computer. Shortly after, her fingers danced swiftly across the keyboard.
Leon knew Hera was skilled, but this was the first time he had witnessed her prowess firsthand.
Her fingers moved like graceful reeds, leaving only faint traces on the keyboard. The screen filled with rapidly scrolling white text on a black background before he could decipher any of the code.
Ten minutes later, several documents appeared on the previously empty SD card.
They were named in the default style of old Nokia phone systems. There were albums, recordings, and so on.
However, someone had maliciously shredded the original data, and the recovery was incomplete. The photo albums contained pictures that could no longer be displayed.
Hera listened to an audio file in the recordings.
It was recorded 11 years ago, but the exact date couldn't be determined due to incomplete data recovery.
"Is this it? Boss, you're truly amazing!" Leon exclaimed excitedly as he pulled out his phone.
"I'll text Amelia."
"Wait."
Hera raised her hand to stop him. She double-clicked the audio file and played it.
Leon widened his eyes.
