If It's Not Me
"Sergeant—no, I mean Mr. Hardon, I have already given them a good beating so they wouldn't dare come over to cause trouble anymore." Tigre almost addressed Daniel as sergeant but immediately corrected himself right after. Knowing that Daniel could have easily gotten rid of those thugs, Tigre understood his intention of asking him over instead of sorting things out himself. Daniel wanted to protect the orphanage using Tigre's name. Tigre was aware of it and even let Xavier and his men live so that they were alive to tell everyone in Northside that the orphanage was under Tigre's protection. "Alright. I got it." Daniel nodded and turned over to look at Fern before saying, "Just give me a call if you need my help in the future." With that, he gave her his contact number and left with Tigre afterward. Just when they were about to step out of the door, Daniel turned over and asked, "Right, who did you learn martial arts from?" Fern was surprised and replied. "W-What martial arts? I'm just a fast runner." "Alright. I shall take a leave now." He nodded while smiling. After he left the orphanage and got into the car, he typed a short message and sent it to Phantom. 'The Eaglet Project.' 'Got it.' Phantom replied instantaneously after receiving his text. Daniel's blood boiled as he was grabbing onto the phone. We wanted to see whether the assassin organization he had in mind was behind the Eaglet Project. If it was as predicted, it meant that there was someone hiding within Goldshore, and he vowed to uncover that person. Meanwhile, after the Four Waves Chamber of Commerce had lost their chance to tender for Sky Project since their last press conference, there was no more news regarding them. Even Ingrid had not appeared in public. As to the Doyle Family, its assets had been cannibalized by the other three families. Other than this, the Four Waves Chamber of Commerce hadn't taken any other actions. However, everyone in Goldshore knew that they wouldn't just let go of Sky Project, and they were merely keeping it low before making a comeback. Indeed, it was as predicted since Ingrid had been planning for it the past few days. However, up till half an hour ago, William suddenly announced that they had found a partner to be in charge of Sky Project's advertising, and it was an unknown advertising company called Janson Corporation. In terms of its qualifications, capability, and overall performance, it was impossible for it to rank first. However, William signed a contract with this company. Ingrid felt that something was off and did a background check on Janice, the company's person in charge. She never expected to discover that Daniel was somehow related to her. Initially, Ingrid thought that Janice really was Daniel's wife and that they had a daughter together. However, when she recalled that he had been behind bars for the past ten years, it would be impossible for him to have a four-year-old daughter. After doing another round of investigation, she found out that Daniel was merely pretending to be Janice's husband and also her daughter's father. But why would he want to do such a thing? Ingrid couldn't fathom the situation. She couldn't understand why William would sign a contract with Janice's company as well. In the beginning, she was rather worried that everything was because of Daniel but dismissed that thought when she found out about Janice's family background. She was a daughter of the Tillman Family from Atlasdam, and her family's background was comparable to the Four Waves Chamber of Commerce. Maybe that's why William signed the contract with her, Ingrid thought to herself while dismissing Daniel. No one knew how she'd feel if she found out that the Sky Project that she was pursuing was in Daniel's hands. As she was deep in thought, she suddenly received a text notification. Her expression turned grim.
