?Chapter 1532:


    Certain that Arlo would shoulder the cost if everything went ording to n, Nina felt a surge of confidence and named her price. “One hundred million. Does that work for you?”


    The number startled even Amon, who had only been probing. That amount was far from small, and it made no sense for Nina to have ess to such funds at this point. “How did youe by that money?”


    “That is none of your concern.” By instinct, Nina refused to borate.


    “It very much concerns me. If the moneyes from illegal channels, taking it would only drag me into trouble. You understand why I would be cautious, do you not?”


    Those words left Nina with no immediate rebuttal. “I can assure you the funds are clean and will not cause you any problems. Will that suffice?”


    Seeing her unwillingness to say more, Amon’s gaze darkened slightly. From her guarded reaction, it was clear that someone powerful stood behind her. Without that kind of backing, she would not have been so cautious, nor would she have gone so quiet when pressed directly. Since no further details were forting, he decided to let the matter rest for now.


    “Fine. I am willing to work with you. Tell me what you need me to do.” He leaned back and casually propped his feet on the table.


    Nina’s tone hardened, and a flicker of something unhinged crossed her eyes. “I want the Briggs Group’s full expansion ns for the next three years, along with the core codes of their newest technology.”


    Once again, Amon was caught off guard. Nina’s ambition far exceeded his expectations. She was not merely venting resentment — she intended to destroy Williampletely.


    Drawing in a sharp breath, he kept his voice steady. “Nina, leaking the Briggs Group’s most ssified information could put me behind bars. You are asking me to ruin myself.”


    “Take the risk if you want the reward.”


    In Nina’s view, there was nothing excessive about what she was asking. To Amon, one hundred million was not a trivial sum. With that money, he could recover his footing and perhaps even establish apany capable of standing against William.


    “Amon, if this works out, you can finally stand tall within the Briggs family. When William’s Briggs Group reaches a dead end, you will be the one who takes control of the entire family. That is what you want, is it not?”


    ???????с??i???? n??v?????? ??? ??a?????????????.cо??


    Once the n seeded, the Briggs family would inevitably fall into turmoil. When the time came to restore order, no one would bother tracing who had caused the chaos in the first ce.


    Nina stopped talking and waited. She was certain Amon would agree.


    “How am I supposed to get it? The Briggs Group’s security system operates on a separatework, and William will never allow me anywhere near the core areas.” Under his current status, appearing in front of William carried considerable risk.


    “You will not need to get to it yourself. There is a private exhibition next Friday night on the top floor of the Briggs Group headquarters. Since you are part of the Briggs family, you should be free to enter and leave as you wish.”


    Learning that Nina was aware of such a detail caused Amon’s expression to grow darker still. Only a handful of top insiders in Choria knew about that exhibition — it made no sense for Nina, operating from overseas, to have found out.


    Nina, unaware of the suspicion forming in his mind, continued. “I will arrange for someone to give you a specially designed USB drive. Once it is plugged into any Briggs Group device, it will automatically copy the data and transmit it to me.” Every step had already been nned with care. From her perspective, all Amon needed to do was carry the drive inside, connect it to the server, and the job would be done. During demonstrations, everyone’s attention would be fixed on therge screen — no one would notice a small, ordinary USB drive.


    Nina’s tone grew colder. “As for the three-year ns, that part is even easier. You understand human nature better than I do. The Briggs Group isrge, and not everyone there is without ws. Not everyone ispletely loyal to William.” With the rightbination of pressure and reward, someone would inevitably agree to help.


    Amon swallowed, and a trace of reluctant awe surfaced despite himself. Nina was precise and calcting in a way that unsettled him. If someone like her stood on his side, she would be a formidable ally. If she stood against him, dealing with her would be anything but easy.


    Only then did he fully grasp why William had warned him from the beginning not to reveal where his true loyaltyy. If he were not standing on William’s side now, William might never have learned of Nina’s schemes at all.


    “Everyone has something they want,” Nina went on. “Those people are ordinary at heart — offer them a little incentive and they will work for you. When I was in Choria, I heard that the project director at the Briggs Group has a mother who is critically ill…”


    She left the sentence unfinished. She did not need toplete it. Amon already understood exactly what she meant.
