Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 1934

Lambert suddenly looked up. "Alvis?"

"Yes!" his subordinate said with a stern face, "The moment Alvis arrived, he took over Citadel City. His firepower is intense. I heard he's already taken down several of Triceratops' armed forces!"

Lambert realized in a flash why Raiden had left in such a hurry—it was because of Alvis!

Frowning slightly, he was puzzled. "Have there been any recent conflicts between Triceratops and Alvis?"

His subordinate shook his head, "None!"

"I see. Keep an eye on both Raiden and Alvis. I want to be informed immediately of any developments," Lambert instructed.

"Yes, Mr. Brennan," the subordinate replied respectfully before leaving.

Evelyn, who had been listening in, was confused. "Who's Alvis?"

Lambert gave Evelyn a quick rundown of the current situation in Tripe.

"Now, there are three main players in Tripe. There's Gab, holding down the fort in the northwest at Silver Valley, Triceratops in control of Citadel City, and then there's Alvis. The president of that Federation is just a figurehead. The real power behind the throne is Alvis. In the past few years, under the pressure from Gab, Triceratops had been on the decline. However, with Raiden's rise to power, Triceratops had regained strength and even started to take over Gab's territory. They had clashed several times. Alvis usually stayed out of their affairs because the ederation is rich with oil and has top-notch equipment—no one dared to provoke him. But Triceratops' new energy research was set to compete with Alvis in the capital markets. They needed a power that wasn't afraid of Alvis, and that power could only be the Brennan family. That's why Raiden had approached me.”

Could it be that Alvis knew about their potential collaboration and that's why he was attacking so aggressively?

If that was the case, Raiden could be in big trouble!

Lambert sneered to himself. He no longer cared about a partnership with Raiden; he preferred to see the situation descend into chaos!

Evelyn, still not fully grasping the complexity, remarked, "That sounds pretty complicated!"

He had been sent to Zion just ten days ago, and because he was personally appointed by Triceratops, Raiden had immediately given him the position of chief steward.

It sounded impressive, but it was really just a nominal role, managing some of Zion's trivial matters without any real power.

Huff had no complaints and dutifully carried out his responsibilities, never once complaining to Triceratops.

Winston came in, set down a cup of tea for Raiden, and asked, "Do you think the boss is just looking for an excuse to divide your power by bringing in Huff?"

Raiden's face, hidden beneath a mask, was filled with a dark expression as he replied in a calm tone, "Let them do as they please! I'll do whatever he says. Zion is as secure as a fortress. No one inside can cause any trouble!"

And that included the heir of the Brennan family!

Winston nodded. "I've looked into Rella's situation. A pharmacist named Lynn tampered with the potency of the drug. That's why Rella woke up."
