Chapter 729
As Margaret spoke, he pulled her over and asked in a low voice, “Brother Ken has been busying himself in the company. In that aspect… did he perform well?”
Melody Fox instantly blushed. “Grandma!”
Margaret covered her mouth and laughed.
“Don’t be shy. I’m already an experienced person at my age. What else can’t you tell me? Answer me honestly!”
“He…” Melody Fox could not help but think of Ken Swanson carrying a towel.
However, she quickly scolded herself for thinking too much.
No matter if it worked or not, it had nothing to do with her. It was impossible for them.
Melody Fox could only lie through his teeth. “There’s nothing wrong with him. I’m sure.”‘
When Margaret heard this answer, She heaved a sigh of relief.
“At first, I didn’t think much of it either, but when I saw Cindy, I wanted to hug my great-grandson’s heart… Melody, Grandma doesn’t expect you to get a baby boy in one go. To me, boy or girl are the same. On the contrary, daughters are more considerate. You just have to give birth to one for me. Gender doesn’t matter.”
“…I’ll try my best,” she replied and quickly changed the topic. “Grandma, I have something to do at my clinic. I have to go over and try to come back early to cook for you.” Margaret Swanson was still a little unsatisfied with the topic of his great-grandson.
However, the matters of the medical center were usually related to life and death. She could not drag Melody Fox any further. She only said, “Then come back early after you’ re done. When you come back, I’ll share something good with you!”
Margaret deliberately emphasized the words “good stuff”. Melody Fox did not sound like a decent thing.
She smiled dryly and nodded. Then, she fled with Spencer.
“Miss Fox, where are you going? Qingle Pier.”
“Yes.”
Melody Fox asked as he fastened his seat belt, “What do you know about Qingle Pier?”
Spencer stepped on the accelerator and replied, “Qingle Pier is very close to our black market. He’s not famous for the pier itself, but it’s no longer used. However, there are many gambling places nearby, and there are several underground organizations. Ordinary people won’t go there. The people who go there are either gambling addicts or drunkards. The rest are from gangs.”
“Then do you know there’s an underground organization there called the LTTE?”
Spencer recalled carefully, then shook his head and said, “I don’ t remember anything. It should be either an inconspicuous small organization or it was recently established. The ones I know are usually relatively large organizations. But that group of people is under the jurisdiction of our black market.”
“What? Qingle Pier is under the jurisdiction of our black market?”
“Yes. The Silverlake gangs are divided by the Hujiang River. The west side belongs to our black market management, and the east side belongs to the people from the black market. Of course, there are also some free gangs that don’t touch either side.”
Melody Fox nodded.
The gangs on the west side belonged to Ulric Swanson. She knew this, but she didn’t know about the existence of the black market before, so she naturally didn’t know who the east side belonged to.
She thought that the gangs on the east side were all the free gangs that Spencer had mentioned.
“Does that mean that if I want to find the boss of the LTTE, I just have to tell Aaron Berg?”
“Yes.” Spencer scratched his head in embarrassment. “I’m sorry, Miss Fox. Only Mr. Deeds and Aaron can help you.”
“What’s the big deal? We’re just doing our jobs,” Melody Fox comforted Spencer Then, she said, “Then don’t go to Qing Le Pier. Go straight to the black market.”
“Do you need me to tell Aaron in advance?”
“No need. Doesn’t he have something very important to do? We can just go and see him.”
“Yes.”
Spencer was very familiar with the way back to the black market. He took a shortcut and drove straight to the black market.
Melody Fox felt a rare sense of relief.
With Aaron Berg around, it was indeed easier for her. At the very least, she did not need to fight her way into the LTTE with her bare hands.
Although the organization was small, it was very tiring to make a move. It was better not to make a move if one could talk.
As they took a shortcut, the car soon arrived near the black market.
Unlike the last time she went to Melody Fox, she took a special passage this time, which was the path taken by the people inside the black market. She did not need to enter through the secret entrance anymore and took the elevator directly to the interior of the black market management area.
The management area was different from the stall area outside the black market. This was more like an office level.
People with different responsibilities had their own exclusive areas.
When she came out of the elevator, the first thing she saw was the information gathering area.
It was filled with computers and documents. Those who didn’t know better would think that this was some company’s data room.
After the information gathering area was the training area. All black market assassins would train, train, and accept missions here.
Spencer brought her into the training area.
After Melody Fox entered, she realized that this place was a completely different world. It occupied a huge area.
Without Spencer leading the way, she would have to spend at least time to find Aaron Berg’s office.
Spencer led her down a long corridor and finally stopped in front of a room with a black door.
However, when the door opened, there was no one inside.
Fortunately, Death Warrior happened to pass by. Spencer quickly stopped the person and asked, “Where is Aaron?”
That person did not know Melody Fox. When he saw that it was Spencer, he first greeted him respectfully before replying,” Aaron is drinking in the lounge.”
“Drink?” Spencer’s expression changed.
Before he could speak, Melody Fox was the first to ask, Aaron Berg, Isn’t he very busy today? Why is he still free to drink?”
That person said doubtfully, “Busy? The black market isn’t busy today.”
Melody Fox narrowed his eyes. “When did he start drinking?” “Well…”
Just as the person was hesitating whether to answer, Spencer ordered in a deep voice, “Answer.”
“Yes! Aaron has been drinking for quite some time… The black market is very empty today, so a few senior brothers discussed to relax. Coincidentally, Aaron came back, so they brought Aaron along.”
“Heh-“
Melody Fox was amused.
In other words, Aaron Berg had anxiously applied for leave to return to the black market not to return to work, but to drink.
Judging from death warrior’s tone, they had not discussed this beforehand.
Coming back to work was just an excuse to slack off.
She was not a strict boss. It did not matter if her
subordinates relaxed for a while, but she could not tolerate
Aaron Berg being so passive and lying to her.
Spencer waved death warrior away and turned to look at Melody Fox awkwardly.
“Miss Fox…”
“Take me to him!”
“Yes.”
Spencer did not suspect anything and led the way. Fox,Melody Fox finally arrived at the recreation area.
This was a paradise on earth. There was a beautiful swimming pool, champagne, and wine. There was even a DJ playing moving music.
Melody Fox immediately saw Aaron Berg lying on the big bed in the pool.
