I nodded and thought about it for a moment. Then, I looked at him and said, "During Milleon's father's birthday party, I noticed that Tyler and Serene were much closer than before. Did the Forbes and Drake families signed the contract over Bate Coin?"

A smile spread across Hendrix's face, "That's right, the fish has caught the bait. My people are already working on hacking the procedures of Bate Coin, so it won't take long to complete. You don't have to worry about a single thing so long as I'm around. Now, back to our previous topic of conversation, I'm very curious about the person who dared to go on a date with you."

There were people who still dared to date me at such a critical time. It really was suspicious.

"Santiago," I told him seriously. "A foreign Western man from Mesville, who had just returned from overseas. Also, Pedro seems to be interested in cooperating with the Jenkins family."

"I see. Evan will check it out later," Hendrix responded.

"All right," I replied.

I nodded obediently, but I caught a glimpse of Hendrix grimacing rather fiercely. Although it was only for a split second, I saw it clearly.

"Hendrix? Are you alright?" I asked. I fixed my gaze on him and I stopped smiling.

"Hm? What?" Hendrix said. His expression returned to normal. He looked at me innocently and then revealed his exhaustion. It seemed that he had deliberately aimed the camera at himself so that I could see him furrowing his eyebrows together. He sighed deeply and explained, "I've been very busy these past few days and I haven't been able to get some good rest. I really could use some sleep."
