Another World Mall-Chapter 610: Traps

’Breaking News: Damian Heshton was threatening Hana Skylark.’

The news spread like wildfire as it was followed with pictures and videos.

It looked like their discussion had become pretty heated, and Damian abruptly slammed the table in anger.

Both parties stood up, as Hana looked scared. In the end, she was a Tier 4 human, while Damian was a Tier 7 human. If Damian wanted to kill her, it would be possible.

That was why when Damian forcefully grabbed Hana’s hand, Hana’s Tier 8 bodyguard immediately came into the room and tackled Damian away, protecting Hana.

He wrapped his hand around Hana’s shoulder to offer more protection while bringing her away. Hana’s body was shivering, as if she was scared that something would happen to her.

If not for her bodyguard, the situation would be worse for her.

Even if the Heshton family was strong enough to suppress a bit of the media, they couldn’t suppress everything. As a result, more and more news appeared on the Skynet, taking the country by storm.

And the one who did it couldn’t help but stare at the tab that showed such news. He was clutching his head with despair on his face. No one would ever think that the situation would be this dire after falling into a trap.

Yes, a trap that had been laid out sneakily by Hana and Jeremy.

…

Two days ago.

"Sir." A middle-aged woman entered the office, bringing a tab.

"What’s wrong? Have you found out the culprit?"

"Yes. It’s just…"

"What?" Damian frowned.

The woman put down the tab, showing everything to him. "The culprit of this incident seems to be the Resshia Family as well as the Godlen Corporation."

"Godlen? Aren’t they supposed to be maintaining their neutrality?" Damian frowned.

"Yes. Godlen Corporation is known for their high-level resource, which is not losing to our family by any means. However, the information is extremely credible. The Godlen Corporation has switched sides to the Resshia Family."

"Are they so foolish that we still have the upper hand against the Resshia family?"

"They should know, but I’m not so sure anymore… whether we have the upper hand against them or not."

"What do you mean?"

The woman pointed to the next page. "These are the list of the people the Godlen Corporation had been approaching as of late. Two of them were actually our allies. This Renbeat Group was the one providing the necessary scandal to make the situation this bad."

"What? How dare they betray the Heshton family! I want them dead!"

"…" The woman shook her head helplessly and continued, "Please take a look at these two names, sir. The Quinn Conglomerate and Wellesh Family are actually joining the Resshia family’s side.

"They’re planning to work together and defeat us. In addition, they’re still approaching our allies to abandon us.

"If the situation continues, the situation will get even worse."

Damian shouted, "We still have the deal with Hana Skylark. They won’t dare to switch sides."

"That’s the problem, sir." The woman continued on the next page. "Please take a look at this, sir."

"Hmm?" Damian frowned. "What’s wrong with Jeremy Skylark?"

"When Hana Skylark came to this country, she registered two Tier 8 humans as her bodyguards. According to our source of information, the Skylark family only has 4 Tier 8 humans, including Jeremy Skylark.

"However, when we are investigating them, it appears that two of the Tier 8 humans are still in that country."

"Isn’t that supposed to be normal?" Damian crossed his arms.

"The problem is that… neither of those two is actually Jeremy Skylark."

"!!!" Damian instantly understood what was going on. "You’re saying that Jeremy Skylark actually sneaked into this country as a bodyguard?"

When he thought about it, Hana was accompanied by only a single Tier 8 bodyguard this whole time. Was it her grandfather? Was it someone else?

If it was the latter, then where would her grandfather be?

The woman answered that doubt. "We believe that Jeremy Skylark has sneaked in and is the one responsible for all the situations.

"He has been very sneaky, but this is still our country, so he can’t completely erase his trace.

"Please look at this video. Although he has managed to cover up almost every trace of his movement, he is still careless enough to be seen in one of them.

"This is the video of him entering the Resshia family. I’m afraid that Jeremy Skylark has made a deal with the Resshia family. With the backing of the Skylark family, the Resshia family convinced all these people.

"They’re trying to take us down. And by sending his daughter to us, he is able to stall for time and bait us like this. In other words, this entire project has been a scam against us. I don’t know their motive, but it appears they’re trying to destroy us."

"!!!" Damian widened his eyes in shock.

Damian gritted his teeth. He realized that the day he had previously set to meet had backfired. This was the third day where they were supposed to meet again. He was supposed to explain everything to Hana and get rid of the enemies.

However, what if Hana was the enemy all along? If he didn’t attend this meeting, Hana would definitely realize that he had realized the culprit and would continue to the next phase of her plan.

On the other hand, if he confronted him without any plan, there was nothing he could actually do. And this kind of plan required more than a day to make, considering it would be a declaration of an all-out war against the Skylark family.

That was why the situation had turned grim for the Heshton family. The moment they publicly revealed the cooperation with the Resshia family, all their allies would switch sides and work together to crush them.

At the same time, he could reveal this truth to the world, but who would believe it? There had been scandal after scandal about the Heshton family, so public opinion was at an all-time low.

No, it might even be their idea to create a situation where no one would believe the Heshton family. Besides, they thought of the Resshia family more highly, so switching sides would get the support of the people.

He needed to stall for time.

"I need to meet Hana Skylark. I can’t even denounce her like this and have no choice but to play dumb…" Damian gritted his teeth. "In the meantime, gather our people and come up with a plan to go to war against the Resshia family. We’ll crush their main link in this country and make the Skylarks regret it."

Little did he know, this meeting itself was nothing but a trap.
