Before him, astonishingly, was a map of Wayne’s current underground territory in Rivodia.
In addition to Rivodia, several other important cities in the state were also involved. Over the past two years, his power had continuously expanded to the point where even the higher- ups could no longer strictly control him.
There had been a power struggle between the two sides. Wavery, after all, was the state capital, and Wayne was operating underground. Dexter always seemed to have the upper hand.
Larry was deeply concerned. “Would it be too hasty? If Mr. Dalton firmly refuses, we might not necessarily succeed.”
Outside the window, the sky stretched out endlessly, with clouds floating freely. Dexter gazed at it for a long time, his thoughts filled with the loneliness of the past two years dedicated to an unwavering pursuit.
“I can’t wait any longer.”
“What if he takes advantage of the opportunity to seize Russell Group?”
“Then let him have it,” Dexter said calmly. “It’s insignificant if it’s for her. Besides, she fought for Russell Group.”
That year, she had ventured in alone. Despite being visibly shattered, she managed to stand firm in front of those people, telling them that she stood by Dexter’s side and that Russell Group could only belong to him.
Larry was somewhat taken aback, but he quickly understood. He chuckled lightly. “Indeed, it’s been quite a long wait.”
After Josie finished speaking, she didn’t receive a response from Dexter, which made her somewhat anxious.
“Are you there? Did you see what I said?”
Looking at the words on the screen, Dexter adjusted his headphones and turned on the microphone. “I did. We still have ten hours until we reach Rivodia. Get some good sleep.”
The voice within the radio waves carried a hint of weariness and hoarseness. It was indistinguishable from the voice of the youth from years past.
Josie’s ears felt numb and tingly, and a blush spread across her face. As the final notes of one song faded away, she was still caught in its emotional undertow when the gentle melody of a new song began to play.
He had changed the song.
The voice of a male singer rang out.
“Been away, haven’t seen you in a while. How have you been? Have you
“That’s because I have been away for the past year. Now that I am here, please be assured and trust me to take care of her.”
After Mallory finished speaking, she gently held Grape in her arms and suggested, “How about I introduce you to a friendly gentleman? He has an abundance of candies waiting for you there.”
