Chapter 397: 391: Bizarre
Anyway, this doesn’t influence the major corporate strategies, it’s just… a prodigal act. These people have somewhat gotten accustomed to Lewis’s style, including the leaders from Activision Blizzard. They have not forgotten how much money Lewis spent to acquire Activision Blizzard, and how he ended up not completing the acquisition before purchasing company T.
This prodigal behavior leaves everyone speechless. Although Lewis’s actions are extravagant, they still instigate the employees. Coupled with Lewis being the boss, they naturally wouldn’t object. However, they didn’t expect Lewis’s actions to cause a stir. The speed of message propagation in this internet age is… too fast!
By the time Finn drove Olivia Thatcher to their house, almost all the programmers at his numerous subsidiaries had gotten the news, including the branch offices at the Federation. It so happened that it was the start of the workday here and evening at the North Federation. But there probably wasn’t much free time in the programmer’s work-life.
All the programmers who got this news, after understanding the job position, their first reaction was a long wolfish howl, portraying their excitement; those who were restrained flushed with excitement. Holy shit! Doesn’t this mean that they’re gonna have a beautiful young girl sitting next to them while coding?
Imagining such a life, these programmers seemed to be envisioning their exciting days ahead. Is there any other life better than this? What Finn didn’t expect was that not only the programmers in his company knew about the announcement. But many media outlets reported about Lewis’s job advertisement on a large scale.
While the outside world was in an uproar over this, Finn was already sitting on the living room sofa waiting for them to wake up. Sophia Worthington was knocked out cold; Lewis had no idea how Zero got her here. Anyway, it definitely wasn’t through conventional methods. As for Olivia and the woman code-named White Rose, the wounds on their bodies had been treated with surgery, and they had been sutured and dressed. Finn also used some potent medications on them.
Naturally, the medicines were all obtained from Zero. Although they didn’t cost many points, they were impossible to purchase outside.
The moment Sophia Worthington opened her eyes, she immediately rolled off the bed, her face filled with caution. However, after getting a clear view of her surroundings, she relaxed. When that man appeared, she was truly shocked, she didn’t know who he was, and was effortlessly subdued by him with no resistance. However, after he stopped the soldier who was chasing her, Sophia realized that this man must be here to help her.
In this situation, the only man who could accurately find her and help her is probably the one she had called. Sophia lowered her head to check her belongings, nothing was missing. She lifted her wrist to check the time and date; after she was sure of the date, Sophia squinted her eyes; she had been out for 12 hours.
Looking at the room, it should be in a residential building. She didn’t know where the building was located. 12 hours! Sophia suddenly reacted and rushed towards the door. As soon as she opened the door, she saw two beds in the room across her room. The room she was to the dark side, and the room across her was on the sunny side; it was a master bedroom.
At this moment, there were two hospital beds in this master bedroom, with two people lying on them and an IV drip inserted. Upon seeing these two people, Sophia breathed a sigh of relief for these two were Olivia and White Rose.
“If you’ve woken up, I think we should have a talk,” A stranger’s voice suddenly sounded in the room. Sophia darted her gaze back, and after seeing the man sitting on the sofa, she heaved a sigh of relief. As she thought, it was him. However, seeing Finn, although Sophia was relieved, she felt anxious inside. The more things proceeded this way, the more unsettling the power behind him seemed to her.
“Mr. Lewis,” Sophia spoke up.
“Hmm, don’t worry, you’re very safe now,” Finn smiled and replied.
Sophia looked around as she headed for the sofa and asked, “Where is this place?”
“Celeston City,” Finn nodded and answered.
Sophia was stunned for a second, Celeston City? How…how can this be possible? Sophia looked at her wristwatch again, if her memory served her right, the time she was unconscious was indeed around 12 hours, not even 12 hours. Within 12 hours, Finn got her and Olivia and White Rose to Celeston City?
It seemed that it’s a simple task, but Sophia knew it wasn’t. Firstly, Finn definitely didn’t know in which city they were in. Moreover, having received her call meant he had to rush to Gold and Silver City to rescue them. The flight time from here to there was three hours, making a round trip total to six hours. This was only flight time. If considered along with the time spent on the road, scheduling flights at the airport, and other variables, time became highly critical.
Applying for private domestic airline services isn’t as easy as applying for international ones. Even if Finn could get a plane to fly back and forth would be a speedy task in 12 hours, let alone the time taken to pick them up, especially Olivia and White Rose who were severely injured and couldn’t handle any major disruption!
Meaning, they could only be transported using his private plane, definitely not by commercial airlines. Moreover, if the person chasing her was a soldier, then all the airports in Gold and Silver City would be placed on high alert. As such, Finn being able to get them here in such a short time was itself a major task, not to mention he also performed surgery on Olivia and White Rose.
“Thank you,” after being dazed for a moment, Sophia thanked him. She knew that if they were in Celeston City, there would be no immediate danger for them. Although Flame Nation isn’t as free as other nations, people like Finn at the top of the rich people in Flame Nation should have some pull.
“No need, I believe you understand why I rescued you all. What I want to know is why were you all chased?” Finn bluntly asked. This was what Finn was most concerned about. They were merely corporate spies, not people who should be relentlessly pursued. Obviously, they touched something very important of the enemy’s.
