Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 773:

When Neil finished his words, a chuckle escaped Aelfric, his tone laced with mockery. “Neil, seems like your intel network could use a tune-up.”

The jab hung in the air, but Neil, choosing discretion over confrontation, simply let it slide. Deep down, he knew his information sources were limited. He’d been laser-focused on taking down Connor and claiming the leadership of the Daniels family. He hadn’t bothered much with international affairs, dismissing them as irrelevant.

Meanwhile, Aelfric, with his past as the deputy chief instructor at Doomsday Base, had a reach that extended far beyond local power plays. His network was vast, his knowledge expansive. Neil’s narrow focus seemed almost amateurish in comparison to Aelfric’s broader, more seasoned perspective.

Aelfric had been in rooms Neil could only dream of, with players like Lambert, who commanded an international organization. The idea of joining forces with someone like Lambert was something Neil couldn’t even begin to fathom. When Aelfric first floated the idea of recruiting Lambert to take down Connor, it was clear Neil didn’t grasp the depth of what that meant.

But Aelfric wasn’t surprised. He didn’t expect Neil to fully understand the complexities at play. After letting the mockery hang in the air, Aelfric continued, “You do remember why Amiri went to the Sunrise, right?”
