At the same time, right in the conference room next door to Olive Construction Company.
Bertha sat in the middle, and on the table was an exquisite teapot. She leisurely poured the first teapot, and then began to brew the second tea.
The scent of tea wafted throughout the room.
Allison sat on the left side, silently watching her skillful and elegant movements.
Bertha is indeed the daughter of Griselda's house. It's been six years since she left S city, but she still clearly remembers how to make tea.
The sound of the door opening broke the silence in the meeting room.
The curator's assistant happily walked in. 'You guessed right. Sure enough, Tibble Group increased the price to five hundred million, they will give cash. The leader said that when Tibble Group's capital arrives, it will immediately be divided with you according to the contract, you eight parts, Olive three parts."
Bertha said nothing, concentrating on enjoying her tea.
Allison stood up and shook hands with the assistant. 'Very good, happy cooperation."
Most large companies use checks to withdraw money at banks, so the amount of cash reserves will not be too much.
But the Tibble group was able to get so much cash just once, that it can be seen that their power is very good.
But unfortunately, once all the cash flows in, the next hole will only get bigger.

Late that night.
There was thunder in the sky and pouring rain.
In the mountains from city X to city Z, there was a group of people running on a mountain trail.
'Boss, there is a cave there."
They quickly ran into the narrow and dark cave, cutting weeds to try to hide the cave entrance. This was a good place to temporarily hide.
Derek's neat short hair was wet by the rain, falling to his forehead.
His handsome face was unusually pale, his lips weren't even pink, he was breathing very slowly, the pain in his waist made his head throb, and his legs trembled, He couldn't stand it anymore and got down on one knee.
"Boss."
Just now, the whole group was just running. It was clear that Derek was injured, but from beginning to end, no one said a word.
At this time, Derek's juniors discovered that at some point his waist had been stabbed by a knife. The wound was long and deep, white from the rain, but the wound was still bleeding.
The whole way was wet with rain, Derek's whole body started to feel hot, it seemed like he had a fever.
If he doesn't stop the bleeding and reduce the fever in time, his life will be in danger.
Luckily, his subordinates all came from the military, so they knew how to save themselves when injured in the wilderness.
The whole group was busy. Because of a lack of supplies, it took them nearly an hour to help Derek bandage his wound.
Derek woke up from his coma, his lips were dry and pale, and the first thing he said was. 'Tomorrow… return to city X."
His juniors were very worried.
He has such a fever but still thinks about City X.
'Boss, your health is too weak right now, the people outside are still looking for us, if we act hastily, your wounds will be opened, do you not want to live anymore? "
Derek bit his lip, he had tried harder before when the injury was worse than this, what was this worth?
When the pain subsided, he began to deal with it this time. 'When you were fighting with those people, did you notice that they had identical small tattoos on their hands?"
Derek thought for a moment and then tore a piece of cloth, he mixed it with the muddy water on the ground and then drew the tattoo as he remembered it. Derek showed the cloth to everyone.
The whole group of people gathered around the tattoo canvas to discuss.
'It looks like this is an animal."
"Yes! Is it an animal with two horns on both sides? Rhino."
As soon as Otis finished speaking, Derek hit him on the back of the head. 'Stupid, the two sides of a rhino are ears, it only has one horn."
Derek listened to their heated discussion while keeping his eyes glued to the piece of fabric.
After thinking about it, he spoke weakly. 'It's a deer."
Although his voice was very quiet, his juniors heard it clearly, and their expressions became very serious.
Many years ago during a mission, they cooperated with the army of S city. Griselda's house's juniors also seemed to have such a tattoo.
If true, then old friends have become enemies. Why is that?
The cave was silent for a long time, Derek's subordinates all looked at him, but his dark eyes were closed, it was unknown what he was thinking.
A long while later, a subordinate first spoke up to explain. 'Boss, maybe it's a misunderstanding, we've been out of the army anonymously for many years, and not many people know of our existence, this time maybe it's a mistake…"
Derek didn't say anything, his eyes were cold.
These people were very purposeful and aimed at them.
As far as he knew, currently, the person with such a complete team capable of detection and concealment was the first son of Griselda's house, Fawn.
Venn and Fawn are brothers.
And when he was fighting with the leader, that person said something. 'Are you asking me who I am? You should ask yourself, who have you betrayed?"
He heard these words and didn't know why he suddenly thought of Bertha, so he lost concentration and was stabbed.
What does this… have to do with Bertha?
If so, Venn could do this to this extent for her, then... who exactly is she?
Derek's eyes were full of complexity.
He thought for a moment, his tone even more determined. "Tomorrow, we must return to city X."
One of Derek's subordinates didn't answer. He gritted his teeth slightly, feeling nervous. Taking advantage of Derek's weakness, he hit Derek on the back of the head.
Letting out a soft cry of pain, Derek fainted on the spot.
A few other juniors saw it and were scared to death. "Don't you want to continue living? Wait until the boss wakes up, he definitely won't forgive you."
That person's eyes were determined, and he obediently knelt at Derek's feet.
"He's seriously injured now and still has a fever. I can't let him risk his life. Even if he beats me to death later, I'll still accept it."
The others also sighed helplessly, and in the end, no one said anything.
