Faron frowned at once. "Dude, you're going to a foreign country. Pentagon Corp is Galloria's biggest moneymaker. They have enormous funds and an endless amount of power there. It's dangerous if you go on your own."
"Exactly," Faye said worriedly. "We can just investigate Joy Corp if this is about Kim Jenkins, she'll have to pay for what she's done."
Wilbur's voice was dark. "No one does this to me and gets away with it. I've made my mind up."
Everyone else saw the look on his face and did not say anything else.
"Could you help me with something, Eileen?" Wilbur said suddenly.
Eileen smiled. "Sure. What is it?"
"Could you please step in as Faye's bodyguard while I'm away, and ensure her safety?" Jose was in the hospital, and Wilbur did not trust anyone else on Sealake to be capable enough for the job.
Eileen lit up at once. "Sure, but you'll owe me a favor."
"Of course," Wilbur said.
Eileen broke out into a wide grin. "Don't you worry. I'll be by Miss Yves' side every second of the day until you come back."
Wilbur nodded silently.
…
Over on an international flight to the capital of Galloria, Kim looked out of the window silently.
She knew what was coming for her.
Joy Corp had been Pentagon Corp's way of breaking into the Dasha enormous market and profiting off their population of almost a billion and a half people.
But Kim had failed, and Joy Corp was still far from the goals it had set out to achieve.
She had even lost the Chez siblings. Dorson and Sabrina, while she was at it.
The best thing that could come out of this was just her resigning and losing everything.
The worst thing that could come out of this was not something she even dared to imagine.
