"Specter," Ewan repeated, then exined, "Years ago, she started snatching territory from me out of nowhere. Subterra Vanguard took over several of our bases in Borealia."


    Those bases were goldmines. If the Huntsman Institute could reim them, its influence would extend into Borealia, and he wouldn''t have to be so wary of the Sigma Network, his rival here in Australis.


    "Just bring Specter to me, and you can take Ebony Fox whenever you want."


    "Hah." After hearing Ewan out, Juniper was silent for a few seconds before bursting intoughter. “Kidnap Specter? You really have a death wish.”


    Ewan''s face fell. He knew Specter was dangerous, but you couldn''t make an omelet without breaking eggs. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.


    Besides, he wasn''t the one doing the dirty work. If it seeded, great. If it failed, someone else would pay the price. Did Specter really have the guts to chase him all the way to the Amazon Rainforest? He hadn''t forgotten that Specter''s mortal enemy, the Sigma Network, also resided here.


    "You want the bases?" Juniper lifted her gaze, speaking casually. "Fine."


    “Juniper—” Ebony Fox''s expression changed, knowing what her sister was thinking. The bases in Borealia were worth tens of billions, developed over many years to reach their current scale. Handing them over to this old fossil would be a waste. "Your son, plus one base, in exchange for Ebony Fox." Juniper took out her phone, contacting the Subterra Vanguard headquarters as she spoke. Ebony Fox was not in a good state, and she wanted to get her out of there as quickly as possible. It was just one base, a handout for a beggar.


    Besides, even if she gave it away, the Huntsman Institute might not have the good fortune to keep it. The Sigma Network was still in Australis, after all. What if they suddenly decided to snatch the base for themselves?


    "You think you can persuade Specter?” Ewan stared at Juniper, thenughed mockingly, the sound filling the room. "You think Specter takes orders from you? I wasn''t born yesterday, kid. You''re not smart enough to fool me."


    Juniper gave him a cool nce, then showed him her phone screen, which disyed a contract proposal. "Once this is stamped, it''ll be faxed to you in seconds."


    Ewan immediately recognized the proposal. The letterhead and seal were unique to Subterra Vanguard. And the contents of the contract... they perfectly matched the descriptions of the Borealia bases.


    Only an insider could know such details.


    "Who are you?" Ewan''s face grew serious, his voice raspy. "Are you with Subterra Vanguard?"


    To casually give away such a crucial base in a matter of seconds, she had to be a major figure.


    Ewan was silent for a few seconds, then his eyes widened in shock. "You''re Specter?"


    Juniper stared at him without a word, but the powerful aura radiating from her was terrifying.


    Ewan was stunned, his mind reeling. Specter was this young? But only Specter could have such authority. So he had just ordered Specter to kidnap herself? What a fool he was.


    "Release her," Juniper said coldly, rising to her feet. She hadn''t wanted


    reveal her identity but since shed


    already dropped the Subterra


    Vanguard name, a little arrogance was perfectly justified, right?


    Ewan gritted his teeth. He was reluctant to let Ebony Fox go, butzhe absolutely did not dare to provoke Subterra Vanguard, Since he had gotten what he wanted, granting her this favor seemed eptable.


    Besides, she might not even make it out of the Amazon Rainforest alive. After all, Subterra Vanguard''s nemesis was just waiting for an opport rtunity to catch her And that Opportunity had just arrived.
