When Lucas received the call, his expression instantly turned icy. He looked at Desmond and spoke in a stern tone, "Have Maria locate Aveline's current position immediately, and gather the team." Desmond hesitated slightly. "But Mr. Tudor, the shareholders' meeting is about to start. If you don't attend now..."

"Go, now!" Lucas's urgency was unmistakable.
