The folks in the booth across the way couldn't help but notice Cassie and Mirabella. They were taken aback by the sight of two young Western faces. Especially since that booth was always reserved for someone pretty important from the Bureau of Defense. Over the years, nobody had ever been spotted in that booth, not even James himself.
Murray took a moment to mull it over before murmuring to his trusted aide, "Go find out who those folks are in the booth across from us."
Being seated in that booth likely meant they had some sort of unique relationship with the person from the Bureau. If they could strike up a friendship, future deals might just get a whole lot easier.
The aide glanced outside, but Mirabella was already gone from the terrace. He nodded and quickly headed out.
Back in his booth, Murray instructed another aide to head downstairs and chat with the event staff to secure one of the featured weapons. Once his orders were given, he turned to Asa, "Should I set it up for my secretary to swing by Leon's tomorrow to sign the contract?"
Capturing someone was a piece of cake for Murray.
Asa lifted his gaze slightly, "Just a heads-up, the person I want is from the Davis family."
"The Davis family?" Murray's eyebrows shot up. "You mean the Davis family from the Alliance Guild?"
Asa adjusted his sleeve casually, "Yep."
Murray's eyes narrowed at this revelation. He knew Asa's target wouldn't be just anyone. He'd even considered someone from the royal family but hadn't expected it to be someone from the Davis family. Even though the Davis family had been slowly stepping back from the gray areas over the years, their influence was still nothing to sneeze at. Plus, there was that old beef with Jim.
Murray chuckled coldly, "So what if they're from the Davis family? Think I'm scared?"
