When Darry picked up the phone again, he heard a middle-aged man’s deep voice.
“You can publish the current video. I hope this can be the headline for the local news tomorrow… Just say something like ‘A Somerland businessman is coming here to seek out a business opportunity’. Don’t expose Mr. Laine’s address…”
After the middle-aged man finished talking, he hung up without saying anything more.

The following day, Woody saw the newspaper Gustav had brought him.
“A mysterious Somerland businessman coming to Qari for a business opportunity? When was this newspaper published?”
Woody was excited. Gustav smiled.
“This is today’s morning newspaper. The person you’re looking for is here.”
“Great! Where are Jasper and the others?”
Gustav shook his head when he heard this question.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Woody. Jasper and the gang did a good job of hiding their information…”
“We don’t have anything except for this newspaper for the time being.”
Woody was not mad about this. As long as he was sure that Jasper was in Qari, he would have a chance to take action sooner or later.
“It’s no rush. They can’t hide in the hotel forever… Continue asking your people to get more information. You must find out where they are staying.”
“I understand.”

Today, Julian brought Fidel to the streets as usual. They were purposely going around in the commercial areas. Meanwhile, Julian noticed someone following them.
The two sides attacked and defended interchangeably. Finally, Julian and Fidel lost the other party.
“Who are they? Are they planning to take action against Jasper at this time and place?”
Those following them did not expect this, so they could only go back and report their findings.
