Let them offer their loyalty

Ye Hua stared at Yue Yan closely. There was a hint of hesitation in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. "I can't take this risk, Yue Yan. We must find out the hidden organization in Dragon City. You are the breakthrough point. Yue Yan, the organization behind you can't get their intelligence at all. I have no choice but to take action against you."

Yue Yan felt a mixture of despair and anger, her strength was constantly draining away: "Ye Hua, you are playing with fire... Remember, the safety of Dragon City is much more important than our grudges..."

She now thought that all the nonsense Ye Hua said were excuses for her to attack her, and all this betrayal was nonsense she made up.

At this time, she was wondering why Yue Qian would turn to Jonas because of a grudge?

why?

How did she offend Ye Hua?

As she spoke, Yue Yan's knees finally couldn't bear it anymore and she fell to the ground, gradually losing consciousness. Ye Hua stood there quietly, watching Yue Yan fall. Although she was calm deep down in her heart, she couldn't help feeling a little complicated.

Under the influence of the drowsy gas, Yue Qian felt her consciousness slipping away rapidly, her vision blurred, and every blink seemed to be getting heavier.

Just before she was about to lose consciousness completely, her eyes blurred across the botanical garden and suddenly caught a glimpse of an unexpected figure behind Yue Yan.

That was Jonas, he was standing behind Yuexuan and greeted her kindly.

A strong sense of shock and confusion surged in Yue Yan's heart, and she kept wondering why Ye Hua could do this. Whether it was a breakup or a grudge, why did Ye Hua directly betray Long Cheng?

"Ye Hua...why..." Yue Yan murmured with difficulty, her voice weak and full of confusion.

However, before her questions were answered, the drowsy effect completely took over her consciousness, and she felt herself being dragged into the dark abyss by an invisible force. Yue Qian's body slowly fell down, and her eyes finally closed, losing her perception of the world around her.

Jonas stood there quietly until Yue Qian lost consciousness, and there was not much change in his expression.

"Well done, Miss Yehua."

Ye Hua lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

Let's move the time forward a little.

Chapter 622: No betrayal is too small to be forgiven

Ye Hua sat in a dark room, the light in the room seemed particularly dim.

She sat on an old wooden chair, her posture straight but seemingly a little tired. In front of her was a small table with some documents and photos scattered on it, which were obviously the materials she was reviewing. These documents exuded the smell of old paper, which mixed with the smell of wooden furniture in the room to form a unique smell.

Ye Hua's eyes were deep and focused, her fingers gently flipping through the documents in her hands, there were not many changes in expression on her face, but from her occasional frown, it could be seen that her mind was not calm.

In the corner of the room stood an old desk lamp, emitting a dim yellow light. The light shone on her face, outlining her facial features and adding a bit of firmness and decisiveness to her appearance.

"Even after searching through all those old books, there is still no information about those organizations? How secretive is this organization, or is it the same for District 25?"

She stopped what she was doing and looked at the night sky outside the window.

exhausted.

It’s bad enough that the enemy is so powerful, but I haven’t found any information about them yet. What should I do?

In order to prevent people from Longcheng from finding her, she simply stopped living in that apartment and moved to another place.

By the way, I blocked Ji Yeling’s communications. If I didn’t, I would be bombarded with communications.

drip.

"Ok?"

Ye Hua received an encrypted message from Jonas, inviting her to go to the headquarters of the Alte Group, saying that there was something to discuss.

"This is?"

A hint of doubt flashed across Ye Hua's eyes.

She knew that such an invitation was by no means a simple meeting, but compared to this, she wanted to know more why Jonas invited her to the Alte Foundation for a chat?

There is something I want to discuss. What is it that I want to discuss with her?

Forget it, let’s go.

The headquarters building of the Alte Group stands in the center of the city, symbolizing power and wealth. How many people want to have a place in the Alte Group?

In the luxurious conference room on the top floor, Jonas stood in front of the French window, looking at the night view of the city. He heard the door open and turned around to greet Ye Hua with a smile.

"Ms. Yehua, I'm glad that you accepted my invitation." Jonas' voice was calm, with a hint of joy.

Ye Hua glanced across the room, and after confirming that there was no danger, he responded vigilantly: "Mr. Jonas, just say it directly. You called me here, it must not be for a simple greeting."

Jonas nodded, walked to the conference table, and motioned for Ye Hua to sit down.

"Ms. Ye Hua, we all know that the situation in Dragon City is complicated and changeable, so we would like to ask you to do something."

Jonas's deep gaze was fixed on Ye Hua.

Ye Hua remained calm: "You mean, you need me to cooperate with you?"

"Exactly."

What do you mean, doesn't Jonas know that I am Ji Yeling's man? I am also a noble of Dragon City, how can I agree?

Ye Hua was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "Even if I agree to help you, what guarantees can you give me?"

Jonas smiled slightly, his voice steady and confident: "Ms. Yehua, I can give you what you want."

A hint of mockery flashed in Ye Hua's eyes: "Everything you can give, I already have. Your power and your resources, in my opinion, are nothing but passing clouds."

Jonas was not shaken by her words. Instead, he looked at her more seriously. "What I can provide is not only material resources. I can give you intelligence, power, and... the chance to capture Yue Yan. Miss Ye Hua should have fallen out with her, right?"

Ye Hua frowned and responded coldly: "Even though I have fallen out with Yue Yan, she and I are not at the point of a life-and-death struggle. Why should I cooperate with you because of her?"

"Because she is more than just a sword bearer of Dragon City." Jonas slowly walked towards Ye Hua, as if weighing something with every step: "She is the key to a plan. I know how you and Yue Yan quarreled, and you have your own plans. I can help you realize it."

what?

Ye Hua's heart suddenly started beating a little faster?

Is she the key to a plan?

"You think I need your help against her?"

"No, it's not just about dealing with her." Jonas stood in front of Ye Hua, his voice low and powerful: "I can help you uncover bigger secrets, the secrets behind Dragon City, do you know?"

Ye Hua's expression remained unchanged, but her heart was in turmoil: "Do you think you know all? The secrets of Dragon City are much deeper than you think."

She had some vague guesses, but like Jonas, she was still trying to figure it out.

As an experienced swordsman, she had learned to control her emotions at critical moments. Although Jonas' words shocked her, her expression remained calm and restrained.

"Maybe." Jonas' eyes flashed with a smile: "But I can provide an opportunity for cooperation. If you cooperate with me, Miss Ye Hua, you will discover more secrets about Dragon City. You will not be uninterested, right?"

"For example... Dragon City isn't doing so well right now?"

Jonas’s voice sounded particularly heavy in Ye Hua’s ears.

"You know, the situation in Dragon City has always been complicated, right?" Jonas began to narrate, his voice slow: "Recently, we have discovered some disturbing signs, which are very disturbing for you - many officials, including some senior leaders, seem to have been recruited."

He paused to allow Ye Hua to turn his attention to him. "You know, some methods are shady but very useful. These situations are not accidental. The behavior of these officials has begun to change significantly. Their decisions are no longer in line with common sense and even begin to go against the interests of Dragon City."

"We have reason to believe that this was intentional by the mysterious organization. They have quietly infiltrated your political system and manipulated the balance of power. This not only threatens the independence of Dragon City, but also endangers the stability of the entire region."

He paused for a moment, as if thinking about what to say next. "What's worse is that it's difficult for us to determine the true size and depth of this organization. They are hiding very deeply, like a shadow, elusive, but one fact is very clear that their power is expanding rapidly, and their tentacles have reached every corner of Dragon City."

"If you sit back and do nothing, Dragon City may fall completely into the control of this mysterious organization. Believe it or not, Miss Ye Hua."

She took a deep breath and asked calmly, "What you just said is consistent with the intelligence I have."

Jonas's gaze lingered on her face for a moment, as if assessing her reaction. His voice remained calm, "Yes, Miss Yehua. The power and influence of this organization has penetrated every level of Dragon City. I believe you should be aware of this?"

No, the current situation seems to be completely under Jonas' control.

We must regain the situation, at least get some information out of it.

A trace of thought flashed in Ye Hua's eyes. After a moment of silence, she slowly said: "Who are this organization? What is their purpose? Why did they choose Dragon City as their target?"

Jonas smiled and explained to Ye Hua: "The origin and purpose of this organization are extremely complicated, even I don't know. However, what is certain is that they have set their sights on the geographical location and resources of Dragon City. For them, Dragon City is the key to achieving greater ambitions. Well, this is just my guess, is that so?"

"Why do you know so much?" Ye Hua said in a low voice, "This information should not be easily obtained by you in District 25. You should know that even people in Dragon City may not know about this organization."

Jonas remained calm under Ye Hua's scrutiny, his voice revealing an unfathomable meaning: "Ms. Ye Hua, the Alte Group has extensive connections and resources in Dragon City. This information is only part of what we have accumulated in normal operations. Just because the Sword Master cannot investigate something does not mean that the Alte Group cannot investigate it."

He paused, then continued, "As for my purpose, it is simple. I hope to ensure that the interests of the Alte Group in Dragon City are not threatened by this mysterious organization, and you, Miss Yehua, have the capabilities and resources we need."

This is purely perfunctory.

This is definitely perfunctory, right?

Ye Hua pursed his lips tightly, but the vigilance in his eyes did not decrease: "You share this information so easily, aren't you afraid that I will tell Long Cheng?"

Jonas smiled slightly, as if he had anticipated Ye Hua's vigilance: "I believe you are a rational person, Miss Ye Hua, you know, instead of being opponents, it is better to become partners. We can help each other and jointly deal with the threat posed by this mysterious organization."

Jonas's eyes lingered on Ye Hua's face, with a smile still on his lips: "Besides, will the sword wielder believe what you said?"

The conference room fell into silence.

After a while, Jonas broke the silence. His voice sounded slowly, with a hint of seriousness that was barely noticeable: "Ms. Yehua, let's get straight to the point. Do you want to catch Yueyan?"

Ye Hua's brows furrowed slightly, and she felt a little uneasy.

"Yue Yan is just my partner, why should I arrest her?" Ye Hua asked back, trying to find some clues from Jonas' answer.

Although she knew what was going on, she still held on to hope.

Jonas smiled slightly, but the smile did not reach his eyes: "Ms. Yehua, I think you already know that Yue Qian is not an ordinary swordsman. She is a member of that organization and a key chess piece."

"At this point, we don't need to hide anything, right?"

Ye Hua's heart skipped a beat, but she pretended nothing had happened. There was a hint of suspicion in her eyes, and her voice was scrutinizing: "What evidence do you have to prove that Yue Yan is a member of that organization? Such an important accusation cannot be without basis."

Now she just wanted to confirm whether Yue Qian was an undercover agent.

Jonas's expression suddenly became serious. He looked directly at Ye Hua, and his voice was full of unquestionableness: "Ms. Ye Hua, stop pretending. This is something we both know very well. We both know Yue Yan's dual identity. You have just been waiting for the right time."

Ye Hua's heart was slightly shaken. Although Jonas' words were direct, they did point out that she also believed Yue Qian was an undercover agent.

"Even if I have doubts, I need actual evidence to support them. Otherwise, I can't just let her withdraw to Dragon City." Ye Hua responded, with an imperceptible nervousness in her voice.

Jonas smiled slightly, as if he had anticipated her answer: "Ms. Yehua, we are all people who have struggled in this complicated environment. I know you need more than just evidence. There are people above Yueyan, right?"

Ye Hua's eyes were fixed on Jonas, and her mind began to re-evaluate the intentions of the man in front of her.

"So, what is your purpose in providing this information?" Ye Hua asked, with a hint of inquiry in her voice.

Jonas stood up, walked to the window, and looked out at the night view of the city. "My purpose is very simple, Miss Yehua. I have said that I hope to ensure that the interests of the Alte Consortium in Dragon City are not harmed."

Still procrastinating, still procrastinating!

Isn't it the same as not saying it?

The last thing I want is to deal with people like this, each of them is as slippery as loaches.

The turmoil in her heart surged like the tide, and her eyes reflected her hesitation and thinking in their constant changes.

Jonas' proposal is both an opportunity and a huge risk for her. Cooperating with the Alte Consortium means that she will step into a more complicated and dangerous situation.

However, refusing to cooperate means giving up the opportunity to uncover the secrets of Yue Qian and the mysterious organization.

After a long period of contemplation, Ye Hua took a deep breath, turned around and faced Jonas, her eyes revealing her determination.

"Mr. Jonas, I have decided to accept your proposal and cooperate with you." Ye Hua's voice was calm, but it was unquestionable.

A satisfied smile flashed across Jonas' face, and he held out his hand: "I'm glad you made this decision, Miss Ye Hua. I believe this cooperation will be very valuable to both of us."

Ye Hua nodded slightly. Although she held Jonas's hand, her eyes remained alert: "I hope that our cooperation is based on mutual respect and honesty. I will not tolerate any betrayal."

"You can rest assured, Miss Yehua, the principles of the Alte Foundation are honesty and efficiency. We will provide you with all the support you need to ensure that you can successfully complete your mission."

Jonas let go of his hand, a smile almost overflowing from the corner of his mouth.

"I will take action as soon as possible to investigate Yue Qian's true identity and her relationship with that mysterious organization."

"No, Miss Yehua, you just need to cooperate with my actions."

"Then, happy cooperation."

Chapter 623: The Alte Building exploded!

In the lush botanical gardens of the Alte Consortium, Ye Hua stood beside the unconscious Yue Yan, her foot gently on Yue Yan's shoulder.

The sunlight penetrated the gaps between the leaves and shone on the two women who were once companions. Everything around them seemed so peaceful, in stark contrast to the tense atmosphere between them.
