Chapter 485

Vivian remained silent.

Isabella stamped her foot in frustration. "Viv, don't be ridiculous! Four years have passed. Who knows what kind of person he's become now?"

"Besides, he's earned the organization so much money. If even they won't help him, why should you care? Five billion isn't pocket change. You've barely made one billion after working yourself to exhaustion these past few days."

"We're not poor, but we're not billionaires either. The Triple Six Realty project lost so much money with all that capital tied up. The few billion you've earned recently is nothing compared to five billion!"

Vivian spoke softly, "Let's prepare the funds. If Zero needs it, give him everything."

Money could always be earned again.

But a life lost was gone forever.

She wanted Zero to survive, to escape that predatory organization.

She couldn't produce five billion immediately, but she wanted to do what she could.

"You're too generous," Isabella sighed. "I'd be overjoyed to have a friend like you."

Vivian said seriously, "The same goes for you. If you ever need money, I'd liquidate everything to help you."

"Don't jinx it!" Isabella waved her hands frantically. "I'd rather never need that kind of help."

The food smelled delicious, but Vivian barely tasted it.

After dinner, she logged into the Dark Web using Finn's account.

There it was - the message: Mission failed. Penalty fee due within three days.

Four years without contact.

Zero probably thought she was dead.

With something this serious, he should have a solution.

Vivian silently prayed: Please let him be safe.

...

DarkKingdom headquarters remained as gloomy as ever.

Zero's room was pitch black.

"Master!" Annika burst in.

A cold voice came from the darkness. "Get out."

"Master, I came as soon as I finished my mission. I have some money here. It's not much, but..." Annika held out a bank card.

"Not needed."

"Master! The organization can't abandon you! You've earned them over five billion these years! I'll go to the Director—"

"Get out!" Zero's voice suddenly sharpened.

Annika thought her master was just in a bad mood.

She didn't know Zero was waiting for someone.

The bait had been set.

Shadow must have seen it by now.

Her continued silence meant she didn't care?

No matter.

The trap was ready.

Knowing Shadow as he did, she would definitely take the bait.
