“You have news about Hannah?”
Philip immediately perked up at the sound of this and asked, “What have you found out?”
Fennel said, “Tonight, a ball will be held at Kester Manor. Rich and famous people from all over the world will attend. They’re mainly dignitaries from the Western world. This ball seems to be a social exchange to broaden one’s network among the upper class society, but in fact, it’s an underground business trading center behind the scenes. Many organizations and figures behind the scenes in the Western world will show up for a special deal.”
“Deal? What deal?” Philip asked.
Fennel shook his head and said, “The specific situation is still unclear. We can only find out if we attend. In the previous balls held at Kester Manor, the underground transactions were mostly shady businesses, such as gun smuggling and dealing prohibited drugs. This time, according to the news from the informants, a special transaction will be done. The subject of the transaction may be quite surprising, so the confidentiality measures they have taken are relatively stricter.”
After listening, Philip nodded and said, “Are you saying that my sister will participate in this underground transaction at Kester Manor on behalf of the organization behind her?”
Fennel nodded and said, “It’s very likely. However, we have no way of knowing if your sister will show up in person. We only know that the organization behind your sister will be there. We can only get more details when we go there.”
As soon as Fennel finished speaking, Philip got up from the bed, put on his clothes, and was about to go to Kester Manor.
Fulton immediately stopped him and said, “You were in a coma for three days and just woke up. You need to recuperate. There’s still time before the ball at Kester Manor.”
