The next day, Belinda, who had completed her self-reflection, woke up early.

After leaving a message, she left the hotel first and decided to analyze the terrain and the surrounding area near the Chamber of Commerce in advance before Locke set off to the banquet today.

This time, she had to protect Locke! She had to avenge her past humiliation!

“Ah…!” Locke, who had slept until noon, yawned while reading the message.

“What a silly girl.” Shaking his head with a smile, Locke walked into the bathroom.

When he came out wrapped in a towel, he found a woman sitting on the sofa!

It was Deborah!

‘Do you all have keys to my room? You can come and go as you please?’

If it were not for Deborah’s sexy clothes today, he would have lost his temper long ago!

“Madam Secretary, what are you doing here?”

Locke looked at the lock of the room that had been pried open again and asked.

“Please don’t mind. I knocked on the door for ten minutes, but there was no response. I thought you had encountered an accident. I did this for your safety. Please forgive me!” Deborah explained with a smile.

Her smile was very beautiful.

“Then, why are you here now? If the other party wants to change the time or venue, Vice President Sphinx knows my phone number.” Locke did not care. He revealed his upper body and sat on the sofa, drying his hair.

Deborah continued. “It’s like this. The president asked me to come to see you in advance. He wants me to take you to eat some delicious food and accompany you on a tour. We’ll be there at five in the evening.”

It was not surprising as she did not wear work clothes today.

However, the beautiful sky-blue dress that she had worn matched her snow-white smooth skin. The earrings were also a very suitable choice.

Deborah was really beautiful yet sexy, confident yet elegant.

“With a beauty accompanying me, of course, it’s fine. Let’s go, I’m hungry.” Locke turned around and prepared to change his clothes.

“What about Miss Gladys? Is she still sleeping?”

“Oh, don’t worry about her, she went out to play by herself. I’ve already told her about what happened today…”

…

“Mmm. The taste is really good…”

In an inconspicuous restaurant, Locke kept praising the dishes here.

“It’s much better than those famous restaurants.”

“It’s good that you like it.” Deborah sipped her coffee and looked at Locke with interest.

Then she said, “I wonder if Sir is interested in our business?”

This question was very crucial. Locke felt that he had found the key to open the mysterious door of the Chamber of Commerce.

“Oh? Is it architecture? I’m interested in owning a villa in Water City.” Locke planned to take it step by step.

“Architecture is only a small part of what we do and the money we earn is used for charity. I mean… A bigger cause.”

Deborah was obviously trying to test Locke’s reaction.

After thinking for a while, Locke asked, “How big is it to make money?”

Seeing his reaction, Deborah was obviously very satisfied. She smiled and said, “Of course! I don’t know anything else, but it’s definitely more profitable than selling ore…”

“What can I do to help you sell your title? Do you need money to invest in things that rely on connections?” Locke followed up.

“No… I mean the entire Water City.”

When she said this, Deborah’s expression seemed to have changed and her tone became more confident.

Locke, who caught this, dug his ears, and the smile on his face became even more obvious.

There were many customers in the shop and the noise had drowned out their conversation.

No one else heard it.

“Rely on votes?”

Locke had noticed this long ago when both sides were in contact.

The citizens of Water City loved the Chamber of Commerce very much.

The voting would begin tomorrow.

“It can be considered the first step! The next plan requires more money. If you’re interested, you can get more than just a villa in Water City!” Deborah lit up a cigarette and smoked it elegantly.

This time, Locke did not answer her immediately.

He felt that she was still testing him. If he replied too quickly, he would reveal a flaw.

When Belinda had finished smoking her cigarette, Locke said, “I’ll think about it and meet the president first. I’m very grateful for your invitation…”

The smile on Deborah’s face grew wider. She was very satisfied with Locke’s answer.

In her opinion, this was the correct reaction that a businessman should have.

“Alright! We’ll talk about it later tonight. I’ll bring you to a fun place in Water City to have a look! I believe you’ll like this place and increase your determination to invest in the Chamber of Commerce.”

“I’m extremely grateful!” Locke wiped his mouth and looked into the other party’s eyes.

Deborah did not avoid his gaze. She took the initiative to meet his gaze.

…

The afternoon trip was very enjoyable. Even Deborah, who was usually composed, often laughed.

The two of them sat by a beautiful riverbank and ate ice cream.

“Why did you work for the Undead Legion?” Locke looked at this elegant and beautiful woman and was a little curious.

“I like Water City and the scenery and food here. As long as the Chamber of Commerce’s election is successful, this city will always be peaceful in the future.” Deborah’s eyes were filled with longing for the future.

It was difficult to tell if she was someone with a mind of her own.

“In the future, there will be no distinction between commoners and nobles here. Everyone will be the same. How wonderful it will be!” Deborah seemed to be a little excited. She said excitedly, “The time will definitely come as long as we have this city! We’ll change this continent bit by bit!

“There will be no refugees, no hunger, no separation! It will be a brand new world…”

For the next few minutes, Deborah kept talking to herself, describing the beautiful future that she had imagined.

Locke just looked at her with a smile and did not interrupt.

She did not stop until the other party’s cell phone beeped.

After recollecting herself, Belinda regained her composure and said with a smile, “I’m sorry, Sir. I was excited just now. It’s almost time for dinner. Let’s go!”

Then, she called and asked the Chamber of Commerce’s yacht to pick them up at the riverbank.

About half an hour later, they returned to the riverbank at the Chamber of Commerce’s main entrance.

The two vice presidents, Sphinx and Harold, and a group of staff members were already waiting at the door.

To welcome this potential future financial backer, everyone had waited here for more than ten minutes in advance at the president’s request.

“Mr. Casey! It’s an honor to have you here!”

“We’ve prepared some rare ingredients, you’ll definitely like them…”

The few of them chatted and laughed as they walked into the hall.

“Reporting, Captain, Locke has entered the Chamber of Commerce…”

In the distance, Sean and Belinda stood beside a stall donning a simple disguise.
