She was despised as a jinx since little, a lurking threat to the family. Her mother banished her abroad. And she had been on her own. Ten years later, she came back strong, bringing down the losers one after another. The richest man on earth was her big brother. The award-winning actor was her second brother. The tech guru was her third brother. ...... The mysterious and miracle-working Quack L was her husband. One might say, "What's there to brag about? All she has is those big shots on her side. She herself is nothing but a loser. WHAT? Topnotch hacker, business tycoon, best-selling writer, garment mogul and the founder of the secret S Base... When her sock puppets were made public one after another, she rose to stun the world! What a phenomenon! She was really something!
"Base S has successfully developed the G agent. This is a new type of antibiotic, mainly used for..."
Alina did not expect that the news would be leaked in just a day.
As soon as she got off the plane from Country L to City Risbon, she received a phone call from her subordinate, which she didn't like as she was on a vacation.
Therefore, Alina didn't sound nice.
"It'd better be about something important!"
"Boss, someone wants to buy the G agent we just developed at a very, very high price."
An excited and nervous voice came out of the Bluetooth earphone. Alina slightly narrowed her eyes under the black sunglasses, one of her hands in her pocket and the other holding the suitcase. Her tone was cold, making it hard to tell how she was feeling.
"Who?"
"That person contacted us through a middleman from the Dark Net. He didn't give us his true identity. We only know that he's from Risbon."
When Alina heard the word "Risbon", a cold light flashed across her eyes. Then, she smiled coldly and said.
"Tell him we won't sell."
She hated everything about Risbon.
After more than ten years, Alina finally returned to the land that she was familiar with.
However, all she was feeling was contempt.
All of her subordinates knew Alina well enough to follow her instruction without asking for a reason. Therefore, the person on the phone did not try to persuade her.
"Understood."
After hanging up the phone, Alina took out a black mask from her pocket and put it on so that she wouldn't continue to attract so much attention of the passers-by.
Alina was beautiful, in an aggressive way. Her nose was tall, and her pupils pitch black and bright. She was wearing petal makeup on her lips, which made her look sexy and exquisite. Her charming features and outstanding temperament always made her the center of attention.
It was her marriage arrangement that brought her back to this land, where she had been away for over a decade. What an irony. She had been sent to Country L when she was a little kid and left there on her own because her "eight characters", according to some superstitious nonsense, was not compatible with her mother's. Now, they asked her to come back and marry someone they had fixed her up with.
Screw them! She didn't' want to marry nobody!
However, she happened to have something important to handle in Risbon, so she did not mind meeting her so-called family.
Alina checked the time on her phone and figured that her friend Tina Finch must have been waiting for her.
Thinking of this, Alina sped up and walked out of the airport.
While Alina pushing open the glass door and walking out of the airport, a man pushed open another glass door and walked into the airport.
"Mr. Kian, Base S has replied. They're not selling G agent to us." The assistant knew this antibiotic compound was important to Kian. His voice trembled when he said, which sounded distinct from the microphone.
Kian Harford looked at the sparse people at the airport. Today was neither a weekend nor a holiday, so there were not many people.
He had already seen this coming.
Otherwise, he would not have personally come to the airport to wait for the owner of Base S. He was resolute to get G agent at any cost.
"Increase the offer."
As soon as Kian hung up the phone, it rang again.
He had thought it was about G agent again, but the moment he answered the phone, he heard the terrifying and anxious voice of the assistant.
"Mr. Kian, Jacob has been kidnapped!"
