chapter 22 The mysterious figure shocked the Liu Family

The call went through. Ivano quickly explained his intention, to send an invitation to Chief Parker for the birthday banquet. "I will attend tomorrow night." Chief Parker had a good relationship with the Willow family and agreed immediately. "By the way, I have a question." Ivano quickly asked, "Was it your order that Yukia's power was suddenly wiped out by the joint forces of the Police Department and Combat Unit?" "Not me." Chief Parker bitterly smiled, "I only have the authority to mobilize the police forces of Sunshine Town. I don't have the right to command the Combat Unit." "Moreover, for a joint operation, even those at my level in the Combat Unit can't do it. It must be someone higher than us who has the authority to mobilize both forces simultaneously." Hearing this, Ivano gasped, "Then does Chief Parker know who arranged this joint operation?" "Uh..." Chief Parker paused, "I don't know who it was, just that the order came directly from the national level and was directed through the provincial level. We, the Sunshine Town Police Department and Combat Unit, were just executors!" "That's amazing..." Ivano's heart skipped a beat. Who could be so powerful If it were Adohi, wouldn't that be incredibly against the heavens? ... After returning from the medical hall, Adohi said goodbye to Simra and went home. He saw Ceren and her father looking relaxed, as if a great weight had been lifted from their hearts! The news of Yukia being annihilated by the war department and the police is already the talk of Sunshine Town. For the Lindsey Group, this is indeed uplifting news! This means that for the Sky Group, it's like having their helpful hand Yukia cut off! Moreover, the Sky Group is now in a state of chaos and probably wants nothing more than to distance themselves from Yukia. They probably don't have the capacity to contend with the Lindsey Group now, right? This time, the Lindsey Family has a good chance of securing the New Welfare Project! "Grandfather! Yukia and his underworld forces have been annihilated by the War Department and the Police Department. The Sky Group, in an attempt to prove their non-involvement with Yukia, is now in a state of total disarray!" Hearing this from Ceren, Yohan couldn't help but frown, "The Police Department and the War Department took action together?" How terrifying must one's power be to achieve that? He glanced towards Adohi, his expression one of deep thought. Could it be... Adohi, indifferent to this matter, said, "Mr. Lindsey, I have some matters to attend to tomorrow night and will need to leave work early!" He was to attend Mr. Willow's birthday banquet. "Sure!" Ceren, bursting with excitement, agreed without even glancing at Adohi! After returning home, Ceren finally noticed the day's top news headline. The Willow family will be hosting a birthday banquet for Mr. Willow tomorrow night. At that time, heads of major families in the city and social elites will attend to celebrate. However, one must possess an invitation from the Willow family to enter. Ceren also wished to attend the banquet, believing that establishing a good relationship with the Willow family would secure the New Welfare Project. "But we don't know Fusao and his son, so we can't get an invitation." Ceren couldn't help but feel frustrated. For the Lindsey Family, this was a rare opportunity. Soon, Norio thought of a key figure! The young master of the Zastrow family, named Mr. Zastrow, had previously tried to pursue Ceren! However, Ceren felt they were not a good match and rejected him. But the Zastrow family, being one of the major families in the city, could definitely help with the invitation! "This... isn't really appropriate..." Ceren was clearly reluctant, but seeing her father's expectant look, she toughened up and said, "For the future of the Lindsey Group, I'll contact Mr. Zastrow." Thus, Ceren took out her phone and called Mr. Zastrow. "Hello Mr. Zastrow, this is Ceren." "Miss Lindsey!" An excited voice came from the other end, "Do you need something? Actually, I've always admired Miss Lindsey!" Ceren could only offer an awkward smile, saying, "Thank you for your high regard, Mr. Zastrow. Our Lindsey Group is bidding for the New Welfare Project. I wonder if you could help us get four invitations to the Willow family's birthday banquet..." Mr. Zastrow was clearly taken aback, then chuckled, "Mr. Willow's birthday banquet? Sure, I'll do my best!" "I'll also be attending Mr. Willow's banquet tomorrow night and will certainly put in a good word for Lindsey Group!" "Thank you for your help, Mr. Zastrow. I'll treat you to a meal as a token of gratitude once it's successful!" "Haha, Miss Lindsey, you're too polite!" After hanging up, Norio was immediately excited and delighted! He was well aware of the Zastrow family's power, and Mr. Zastrow was their heir! With Mr. Zastrow's help, the Lindsey Family could easily get the banquet invitations! Norio, in a good mood, cast a disdainful glance at Adohi, who was still engrossed in his phone, "This is what it means to be young and promising. How can those mere farmers compare!" "Daughter, you must recognize true talent!" Ceren also smiled scornfully, "Dad, I know!" Adohi paid them no attention. Adohi appeared idle every day, but in reality, he was busy dealing with national and even international major events reported by his subordinates. Especially the escape of the Four Great Evil Kings! "Several days have passed, War Goddess Lunet might have already started to capture the second major fugitive. I wonder how it's going now!" Adohi shook his head, deciding to wait for more reports from headquarters. ... Meanwhile, in a high-end villa in the suburbs. Mr. Zastrow ends a phone call with a disdainful smile, "Ceren, I was sincere towards you before, but you ignored me. Now you finally see my worth, don't you?" "The Lindsey Family aiming for the New Welfare Project... how overconfident. It seems like the Lindsey Group is under a lot of pressure from the Sky Group this time!" Beside him, a female secretary wearing glasses said, "Young Master, I heard that the Willow family had already decided to give the New Welfare Project to the Sky Group. If we help Ceren, wouldn't we offend the Sky Group?" "I understand." Mr. Zastrow sneers coldly, "Would I foolishly offend Mr. Willow and the people of the Sky Group just for a Ceren?" "Does Ceren really think she's all that? When this young master showed her kindness, she ignored it! Hmph, this time, she'll learn her lesson!" "I'll take this opportunity to get her into bed! Hehehe!" ... The Lindsey Family. In the evening, four invitations to the Willow family's birthday banquet were delivered! Old Master Lindsey was overjoyed! However, upon glancing at Adohi, he immediately frowned! With only four invitations, it meant only four members of the Lindsey Family could attend the banquet! This implied there was no place for Adohi! "Grandpa, did we receive four invitations?" Ceren was in a great mood, not expecting Mr. Zastrow to have been such a big help! "Fantastic, I didn't expect Mr. Zastrow to be so efficient!" Seeing the elegantly designed invitation, Ceren was thrilled! Norio, smiling broadly, said, "Ceren, remember to thank Mr. Zastrow with a meal! If possible, try to develop a relationship with him!" The father and daughter were overjoyed, thinking Mr. Zastrow had helped them! Norio, looking disdainfully at Adohi, remarked, "All young people, yet why such a big difference?" But they were unaware that the invitation was from the Willow family, aiming to win over Adohi. Initially indifferent, Adohi, taunted by Norio, retorted, "Don't jump to conclusions so quickly. Maybe the invitation wasn't arranged by Mr. Zastrow. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if you're mistaken?" Norio laughed, "Not Mr. Zastrow, then you?" "Hehe." Adohi also laughed, confidence in his eyes, "Correct, it was me."
