Chapter 1189 - 1189

Suddenly.

A gentle knocking sound was heard.

Dirk Carter put down the documents in his hand.

He asked, "Who is it?"

The reason he asked was that he knew no one should be disturbing him at this time.

Due to working continuously for two days.

Dirk had let Elbert Rivers go back to rest first.

A woman's voice came from outside the door, "Hello, waitress."

Because their base was at the hotel.

The previous staff had given the waitresses allowances and let them go back to rest.

The base was about to be dismantled.

So the hotel reasonably called the staff back to work.

Thinking of this, Dirk responded, "Come in."

The door was pushed open.

Two female waitresses in uniform appeared at the door.

Both looked like they were in their early twenties, smiling with the trademark smile of the service industry.

One of them was pushing a cart.

On top of it were several dishes.

Dirk was taken aback.

He asked, "I didn't order food!"

One waitress said, "It's a gift from our boss. He said the leaders have been working hard recently, so he had the kitchen prepare some dishes."

"Oh, I see. I don't need it, but thank your boss for me."

Dirk waved his hand and said.

He originally thought the two would sensibly leave.

However, they didn't.

The waitress who had just spoken showed a grievance and said, "Boss ordered us to deliver this. If you don't accept it, we'll be punished when we go back, and might even have our wages docked..."

Hearing this, Dirk felt a twinge of sympathy.

He nodded, "Alright, just leave it."

The two women were delighted.

They pushed the cart into the room.

Just then.

The other waitress turned around and closed the door.

Dirk, who originally had no suspicions, became alert because of this simple action.

"Why are you closing the door?"

Just as he asked this.

The waitress pushing the cart suddenly pulled out a gleaming dagger from beneath it, holding it in her hand, her gaze turning cold as she hissed, "I'm here for your life."

After saying this.

She pushed the cart forcefully.

The cart rushed directly towards Dirk Carter.

The other woman also pulled out a dagger, guarding the door, leaving Dirk with no chance to escape.

Dirk's foot pressed against the floor.

The office chair swiftly slid back.

With a bang.

The cart collided with the desk.

In an instant.

The first waitress leaped forward.

Raised her dagger, stabbing towards Dirk.

Dirk kicked his foot again.

The office chair spun in a circle.

With a thud.

The dagger plunged into the chair's backrest.

In this gap.

Dirk twisted around.

Kicked his foot towards the woman.

The woman, busy pulling out the dagger, was caught off guard and kicked in the abdomen, flying back and crashing to the ground.

The other waitress saw this.

Paid no attention to the door.

Made a swift move, sending the dagger toward Dirk.

These two women were indeed a bit troublesome.

Quick in action, ruthless in their strikes, and using real weapons.

Dirk dodged to one side.

Though he managed to avoid it.

The dagger still slashed his clothing at the abdomen.

The woman on the ground quickly rolled up.

The two surrounded Dirk in the narrow space behind the desk, launching an attack on him.

Initially.

Dirk could handle it.

But gradually, he started to fall behind.

In that moment, he realized he had underestimated the two.

The attackers' strikes grew increasingly fierce, the daggers flickered before his eyes, and a small slip-up could leave Dirk with a bloody hole.

Seeing that he could barely hold out.

At that moment.

With a loud bang.

The locked door was kicked open.

Another woman rushed in.

Not anyone else, but Noelle Meyer's bodyguard, Faye Ullman.

Upon seeing the chaos, she said nothing, picked up an ashtray from the table, and threw it at one of the women.

That woman was extremely quick in response.

Attacking Dirk while dodging the ashtray.

The massive impact caused the ashtray to leave a dent in the filing cabinet.

Faye didn't hesitate even after missing her target.

Pushed off the coffee table, she flew at one of the women.

Seeing help arrived, the two looked at each other.

One woman kicked a pencil holder on the table towards the window.

With a crash.

The glass shattered upon impact.

As if signaling a release.

Both women simultaneously leaped out the window.

It was the first floor.

They rolled over the grass outside, stood up, and quickly disappeared into the greenery, vanishing amid the flowing traffic.

Faye wanted to chase after them.

Dirk said, "Don't chase, you'll never catch them."

"Are you alright?"

At that moment.

Noelle Meyer, who had been waiting outside, came inside.

Seeing Dirk's clothes torn at the abdomen, she worriedly asked.

Dirk shook his head.

Smiled, "Had you not arrived, I might've been in trouble. These two are quite skilled, definitely not ordinary people."

"How dare someone lay hands on you, it's sheer audacity!"

Noelle Meyer sighed.

Dirk smiled faintly.

He said, "It's no surprise, having investigated the Ascendancy Group, we've disrupted many people's interests. Not just anyone entangled with Ascendancy Group benefits; likely every national financial body wants me dead."

After saying this.

Dirk let out a long breath.

He said, "Alright, let's not delve into this. Why did you all come?"

Noelle's worry eased a bit, "I heard you were leaving soon, wanted to thank you. You've been busy lately, so I didn't disturb you."

It's truly fate.

Thinking back now, it still feels a bit scary.

Had Noelle not come unexpectedly.

Today would've surely ended in injury.

Looking outside, the sky was gradually darkening.

He turned and said, "I'm leaving tomorrow afternoon, how about we have dinner together?"

"Sure, I'll make arrangements."

Hearing Dirk's words, Noelle was delighted.

Immediately made a phone call.

En route to the hotel.

Dirk asked about Edison Meyer's situation.

Noelle said, following the explosion incident, Edison's condition improved significantly; he was previously in a daze, but now he seemed much more aware.

However, his mood wasn't great.

Rebecca was involved in crime and had been deported.

Despite everything, he still seemed to miss this daughter of his.

Around 6:30.

The group stopped at the entrance to Seaview Grand Hotel in Prospera City.

The name speaks for itself.

This belongs to Seaview Group.

Just as they reached the hotel entrance.

Engine revs were heard from afar.

Three Lamborghini sports cars roared to a stop, blocking their path.
