An hour later, Arthur called an ambulance for the man and disappeared into the dark with his men under the bar's bright lights.

"Mr. Davies, where are we going next?" The leader asked Arthur in the backseat as the car drove down the city road.

"You send two more teams back with me," Arthur said so and his face was obscured in the darkness. His expression was not clear, but his voice was cold.

"Shall we go home at once too?" asked the leader.

"Yes, now go to the airport and take the fastest flight home. If the others go home first, have them report to Kyle," Arthur replied.

"Yes, to the airport at once!" The leader said to the driver, and the car fell silent.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Arthur leaned back in the backseat, staring out the window at the scenery, then slowly closing his eyes.

Arthur, who had disappeared for two days, returned to Athegate at noon on the third day, and returned to Fragranerde Hall. As soon as he entered the house, Lola heard a noise and ran downstairs. She saw Arthur and rushed over excitedly,

"Arthur, where have you been?! I've been worried about you."

Juliana also came out and stood on the stairs, looking at them.

"Went to lowa," Arthur said bluntly.

The color on Lola's face faded as soon as she heard that. She could not say a single word. Arthur glanced at her and sat down on the sofa. He had not slept for dozens of hours, and the constant reversal of jet lag tired him.

Isolated in the hallway, Lola bit her lip, hesitated, then turned to Arthur and asked,

"Arthur, what... are you doing there?"

"Nothing," Arthur replied lazily, stretching. "I have some business to attend to."

"Is that so?" The voice was a little guilty. Lola walked to the edge of the sofa looking at Arthur's expression, and could observe but did not find anything strange.

He didn't go to the man, but just went to take care of business?

Lola was not so sure.

Arthur looked at Lola and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I'm just worried about you," Lola said, quickly hiding her emotions and smiling gently.

"What do you have to worry about?" Arthur smiled, then turned to the stairs and said to Juliana, "Julia, come on down. Isn't it time for dinner? I'm hungry."

"Oh, okay," said Juliana as she carried darling down the stairs. Even she felt that Arthur was acting strange. She couldn't tell what he was feeling, but she felt that the pain on his body had disappeared, and the whole person seemed very relaxed.

Juliana had just come downstairs when the phone in Arthur's pocket rang. He took out his phone, looked at the caller ID, and answered it,

"What's wrong?"

Kyle's voice came over the phone receiver,

"Mr. Davies, I've already arranged for the people you brought back, but the project team has just received news that there's a problem. You've just returned. Should we settle it now or rest for the night and talk about it tomorrow?"

"How bad is it?" Arthur asked.

"Paralyzed," Kyle replied succinctly.

"Deal with it now. Wait for me at the site," Arthur said and hung up.

"Arthur, are you going out now?" Lola heard Arthur and Kyle's conversation and asked.

"Yes, there's something going on at the office. You and Julia should finish dinner. I have to go out right away." Arthur stood up and put on the coat he had just taken off.

"Arthur." Lola quickly grabbed Arthur and said worriedly, "You just got back. Is there anything that can't be resolved tomorrow? Even if you're in a hurry, can't you go after dinner?"

Arthur looked at Lola and said gently, "Lola, thank you for your concern, but it's urgent. I have to go and check on the situation right away. I think I'll be back very late tonight. You don't have to wait for me. Rest first."

"Huh?" Lola was stunned. Arthur was telling herself not to wait for him?

This may sound normal, but it can only happen between two people who were close to each other. No wonder Lola can't react.

"I said, don't wait for me." Arthur's eyes were gentle, which can be described as doting. He smiled, turned to go out, leaving Lola alone in a daze.

Seeing this scene, Juliana felt more suspicious than Lola. Why did Arthur say such ambiguous words to her?!

Lola came to her senses a long time later, with her heart racing. She turned around and saw Juliana. They looked at each other, speechless.

Arthur arrived at the first phase of the development project of South Sea at the end of the day, while Kyle was waiting with a stack of documents and a team of project managers and executives. "Mr. Davies, here you are." Kyle greeted Arthur as soon as he saw him.

"What happened?" Arthur asked.

Kyle handed Arthur the file to read and replied,

"It just happened this afternoon. For some reason, all of a sudden, our raw material suppliers can't supply the materials."

"How many?" Arthur asked as he thumbed through the papers.

"All of it," Kyle said with a rare heavy voice.

"All of them?" Arthur scowled, with his cold eyes sweeping over to Kyle.

"Yes, all of them. The construction site has been shut down..." Kyle replied. "Please, Mr. Davies, it's not my fault. Don't look at me with your eyes... like that."

"Shut down...?" Arthur handed the documents back to Kyle and looked up at the huge construction site. He had thought that no workers would continue working after work, but it turned out that the work was shut down.

"Mr. Davies." The manager in charge of the phase I project came forward and said, "We don't know what happened. The project was going so well that something happened during the afternoon's supply. It wasn't just one of them. The steel, the cement, all the raw materials."

"Phase One is due in early October," Arthur said, thinking quickly. "It's August. One day off, and Davonnis Corp is losing nearly three million

"Mr. Davies, this is no coincidence," Kyle continued, sensing Arthur's displeasure.

"Of course it's not a coincidence," Arthur said with a sneer, as the distant horizon revealed the distinctive colors of the sun and the moon, in their final struggle.

"Take my project. He really wants to die!"

"Do you know who's behind this?" Kyle asked.

"Go, go back." Arthur did not immediately answer, turned and walked toward the door. Kyle heard the words and hurriedly caught up. Arthur did not say, and he did not dare to continue to ask.
