In a modest residential area in the Onza district of Zovince, Teddy sat

comfortably, fully immersed in the day’s national news broadcast. The

headlines flickered across the screen, capturing his attention.

“Severe floods ravaged the West End of Chanaea, displacing hundreds of

thousands. The chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, Teddy, promptly

called upon all sectors of society to donate aid and dispatched teams to the

disaster areas for relief.

“Teddy generously donated fifteen million in private funds to the disaster

zone. The chairman, known for his frugal lifestyle, consistently dedicated

himself to charitable and public welfare initiatives…”

As Teddy absorbed the headlines and summaries, a satisfied smile graced

his face, a reflection of his commitment to the community. Just then, a

sudden ping interrupted his thoughts. An anonymous message had arrived,

revealing the latest movements of Mackenzie, the chairman of the Nuthana

Chamber of Commerce.

summoned his assistant, Levi, along with the four key envoys, who swiftly

gathered in the elegantly arranged meeting room.

“I apologize for calling you here tonight on such short notice,” Teddy began,

his tone serious yet approachable. “However, a matter of urgency has arisen

that requires your assistance.”

Teddy took it upon himself to personally arrange the banquet, extending his

utmost courtesy to the five individuals.

“Mr. Tanner, please, feel free to give us your orders,” Levi said respectfully, his

demeanor confident and unwavering. The four envoys remained standing,

ready to listen, their expressions keen and attentive.

“Here’s the situation,” Teddy explained, his gaze steady. “I received

information from Nuthana indicating that Mackenzie intends to travel to the

West End. She likely aims to rally support.”

He paused, ensuring the weight of his words sank in. “The West End

“Understood. We will take her down,” Aora responded, saluting with

determination, her spirit resolute.
