That certainly had crossed his mind. "For now, it is best to let him be. Dragon Island isn't some ordinary place. It is a damn political warzone and we may only get in the way. At the meantime, we wait and when an opportunity comes, we strike." he said after a few moments of contemplating.
Understanding, Jona agreed and was about to say when Justin's phone rang.
He gestured for him to wait as he took the call.
"Mr. Yan, I've sent you the detailed information.", a female's heavy voice answered from another line.
"The next action will be on your judgment." she added.
This brought a smirk on his face as he answered, "Indeed, you are truly an elite of the team, Jenifer.
Your performance is truly unmatched. Your delivery of complete and detailed information in such a short period of time is so amazing. Because of that, you deserve a bigger standing." "Mr. Yan, we're partners. We take what we need. Your praise is irrelevant." Jenifer said, her voice was cold and aloof.
"I'll wait for the good news."
"Noted."
He hung up and gestured for Jona to come, "Jenifer had sent her plan. You do what it suggests.
However, we need to make changes for our strategy for Steven."
An evil gleam graced his face, contorting a dark aura on him.

VIP Ward, Private Hospital of Dragon Empire Group
Since she came from the restaurant, Becky remained quiet mainly because she had no reason.
Wing glanced at Eric and sighed. After a while, she shook her head, waving her thoughts away and left the ward as Eric followed.
"Wing, do you know where Little Molly and Brian went?", he caught up with her.
She turned to him and answered, "No, I didn't see them when I came back."
Upon seeing a nearby bench in the corridor, she walked to it and sat. Eric trailed after her and sat, maintaining a good distance in between. She started, "Eric, what's the real score between the three of you?"
"What do you mean?"
Remembering his talk with his brother, Eric broke into a playful smile and said, "Isn't it obvious? I've decided to leave Becky and pursue Little Molly."
"Really?"
Confusion crossed her eyes as she narrowed her gaze. "You seem to like whatever Brian likes, especially when it comes to women.
First, it's Becky. Now, it's Molly."
A smile, half meeting his eyes, plastered on his face to conceal his emotions.
"Do you mean Brian loves Little Molly?", his voice was careful, eyes staring straight into her eyes.
Wing shrugged as a small gesture of yes and asked, "I want to know how you feel towards her." "It's pretty clear, Wing. I am pursuing her. That's it," he casually replied.
"I am serious this time.
Now, I do it completely for myself.
I like her and I want her," he added, his voice dropping a note as his eyes mirrored an expression, leaving Wing in awe.
His eyes conveyed resolute and finality of his decision.
"What if…", she coughed midway, linking her thoughts and carefully assessing his temperament.
"What if your brother likes her too?", she continued, carefully threading her words.
"How come?"
Feigning ignorance as his best getaway, he continued, "Brian would give up anything but not Becky. She had his heart all these years. How could he change his mind too soon?"
