Wilbur looked at Barney, who was seated behind the desk, and asked, "Where is Tina?"


    Barney slowly took out a cigar and lit it. He took a draw and puffed out smoke before saying, "Don''t worry. Since you''ve finished my mission. I will surely hand her over to you. However, before that, there is something else I wish to talk to you about. Have a seat."


    Wilbur had no choice but to pull a chair and take a seat. He said, "Cut straight to the chase."


    In fact, Wilbur knew that Barney would not hand over Tina so easily, which was why he was already prepared.


    Barney said, "Actually, I''m really interested in how you got Kyle Clements to trust you and how you got them to give up talking about Greensource Corp at the meeting."


    Wilbur said, "It''s because of Ralph."


    "Ralph? This has something to do with him?"


    "That''s right," Wilbur said. "Master Barney, I''m sure you know that Kyra and Tina are best friends. Kyra''s boss is Paul, and Paul''s boss is Ralph."


    He continued. "Kyra was worried when Tina was taken, so she contacted Paul to contact Ralph. That way, I had the chance to meet Mister Clements."


    "I see. It looks like you can only rely on the Scarlet Leaf Faction."


    Wilbur looked at Barney. He knew clearly that Barney was testing him out because of the incident the night before.


    Since the Scarlet Leaf Faction and the Green Leaf Faction knew about each other''s powers, Wilbur thought that there was no need to hide things from Barney.


    If he told Barney the truth, he could gain his trust as well.


    Barney''s smile stered on his face. He said, "But I really want to know what you did to gain Ralph''s trust. Can you tell me?"


    Wilbur replied, "Of course. After Mister Clements and I met, I told him that this was Cametra''s internal matter. The Scarlet Leaf Faction and the Green Leaf Faction would solve their own problems. If outsiders were to interfere, this would be a huge blow to Cametra, and no one would be able to bear the consequences."


    Barney chuckled smugly and said, "It looks like Kyle also knew that the Scarlet Leaf Faction and the Green Leaf Faction are not willing to expose this matter on the international stage.


    "Alright then. Since you have finished your mission, I will reward you."


    Wilbur knew that Barney was trying to lure him. He immediately interrupted Barney and said, "I''m sorry, Master Barney, we were coborators. Now that our coboration has ended, I would like to take Tina away. I hope you keep your word."


    "Of course, I will let you take Tina away, but before that, I hope you know that in Cametra, the Green Leaf Faction is stronger than the Scarlet Leaf Faction. As long as you''re willing to join the Greensource Corp, I can promise you and Tina that you''ll both live a life of upper-ss in Cametra. Right now, other than Greensource Corp, no one is going to give you a second chance. This is why I hope you think about it before giving me an answer. I can wait for you. Ten minutes. Is that enough?"


    Wilbur said directly, "There''s no need for such a long time, Master Barney. I can tell you right now that I will not join the Greensource Corp. I have already fulfilled my side of the deal. I hope you can return Tina to me.""


    "Of course." Barney dipped the cigar in the ashtray. Then, he took a map out and handed it to Wilbur.


    He said smugly, "Do you know how many floors of underground basements this building has?"
