Chapter 139 - Clues to Break the Stalemate

Another day had passed. After staying up all night at the base, Mary Jane finally found a lead that could be used to track down Blackwater's headquarters.

It was around eight in the morning. Meng Ran and the others had just arrived at the base and brought breakfast for Mary Jane, who had worked tirelessly all night.

Seeing Meng Ran and the others walk in, Mary Jane rubbed her eyes and sat down at the table. She said to them, "You're just in time. I just found a Blackwater C-rank team that's currently out on a mission."

"Perhaps because they're a more peripheral team, they don't have as much access to information, so they still have missions."

"But I estimate that after they finish this mission, they will probably hide as well, so this is our only chance."

Mary Jane explained the situation while taking the hot milk Peter handed her.

She took a sip of milk and took a bite of her sandwich, replenishing her energy before continuing, "Blackwater's actions are indeed very fast."

"Originally, we could barely find any information about their A-rank and B-rank missions online."

"The number of C-rank missions they've been taking on has plummeted in the last couple of days, and their security measures have suddenly become much tighter."

"I really don't know how they built their network defenses. They're so incredibly secure, almost on par with our own information defense system."

"And you know our system owes a lot to Little White. How many others like Little White are even out there in the world?"

Meng Ran responded to Mary Jane, "There are indeed quite a few talented people in this world. We haven't seen enough, our perspective isn't broad enough."

"I suspect Blackwater's tight information defense system probably belongs to the same system as the monsters' defense system."

"Once we find Blackwater's headquarters, we can think about how to access their system."

"If we can get into their system, our next plan against the monsters will be able to proceed more smoothly."

Mary Jane nodded upon hearing this. Based on the current situation, Blackwater's information defense system might indeed be connected to the monsters, because it was unexpectedly powerful.

She munched on her sandwich while pondering, then downed the rest of the milk in her cup.

After finishing breakfast, Mary Jane went back to the information console and retrieved her computer, connecting it to the conference room's projector.

Seeing Mary Jane's actions, the others sat down, watching the information displayed on the large screen.

Looking at the computer, Mary Jane organized her thoughts before beginning to explain the current situation and information.

She manipulated the screen's display, then announced, "Blackwater's operations have all been shut down as quickly as possible."

"Their information defense has also been upgraded by more than one level compared to before."

"Although they're being incredibly tight, I've still managed to find some information."

At this point, a screen image appeared, showing a pot-bellied, balding middle-aged man.

Looking at the man on the screen, the group continued to listen to Mary Jane's introduction.

"This man's name is Ans Solar, the son of Byron Solar, a global rubber tycoon."

"Besides Ans, Byron Solar has another son named Yibu Solar, who is Ans's older brother."

At this point, the screen switched to another photo, which displayed three men.

Besides the previously seen, pot-bellied Ans Solar, the photo also showed a rather handsome middle-aged man, who was presumably Yibu Solar.

In the photo, both Ans and Yibu stood behind an old man who looked both venerable and imposing. This white-haired old man was the rubber tycoon, Byron Solar.

As the screen changed, Mary Jane continued to explain, "Compared to his brother Yibu, Byron Solar favored his younger son, Ans."

"Because although Ans has a rather chubby appearance, he knows how to please Byron."

"Compared to Ans, Yibu, as his older brother, isn't just bad with words, he's also not very good at handling things. He's not particularly capable, and his temper is terrible."

"Yibu is a real ladies' man. He's been linked to quite a few Hollywood actresses, which is precisely why Byron despises him even more."

"Ahem, that covers the basic background information for this Blackwater mission. Now, let's get into the specifics of the mission itself."

Peter, seeing Mary Jane cough twice, immediately handed her a glass of warm water to soothe her throat.

"Thank you," Mary Jane said, smiling sweetly at Peter after taking the water.

Meng Ran and the others, watching Peter's actions, exchanged glances and then nodded to each other.

They all thought to themselves in unison: Well, this is a surprise. The sun must be rising in the west; Peter's emotional intelligence has finally improved.

If Peter knew what they were thinking, he'd probably burst into tears.

Being so skilled at reading people wasn't because he'd become more emotionally intelligent; it was because he'd made enough mistakes.

During their relationship, Peter had no idea how many times his little oversights had upset Mary Jane.

So, his current performance was entirely due to practice making perfect; it was muscle memory.

Mary Jane took a sip of water to moisten her throat and then continued her introduction, "The Blackwater commission was issued by my brother, Yibu."

"Because Byron's health has been declining in recent years, especially at the beginning of this year when he was seriously ill. He still hasn't recovered from that illness."

"His condition had improved recently, but last week, he fell while walking."

"For an old man, this fall was very dangerous. Although he's being treated by top doctors, the situation is still not optimistic, and he could die at any moment."

"According to Byron's previous will, all his assets will be inherited by his second son, Ans, after his death, and his eldest son, Yibu, won't get a penny."

"Yibu also knew about the will. Of course, he didn't want Ans to inherit all the old man's fortune, so he hired Blackwater to take care of Ans."

"Once Ans was taken care of, he would be the old man's sole heir. Then he'd have endless money to squander and enjoy."

Harry couldn't help but sigh after hearing Mary Jane's explanation, "This is a classic battle for a wealthy family's inheritance!"

Harry was quite familiar with such situations; after all, he associated with wealthy people, and these kinds of scenarios were not uncommon in their families.

Hearing Harry's sigh, Mary Jane nodded and said, "It's indeed a battle for a wealthy family's inheritance. And Ans also had quite a few top-notch security personnel around him, which is why Yibu paid a hefty price to hire Blackwater to do this."
