Chapter 2517: Finally Decided to Recommend Zevaney Kingsley Directly to the Ancestor

In addition, Regina Isadora specifically made a phone call to ask the Isadora Family’s informant in Inderia if they had found Nathalie Quinlan and her group’s trail.

"Mr. Isadora, as per your instructions, we investigated the entry and exit records, but on that day, there was no Eastern person with the surname Qiao," the words of the Isadora Family’s informant once again disappointed Regina Isadora.

She gripped the phone tightly, convinced that Nathalie Quinlan and her group had indeed arrived in Inderia: "Expand the search range and check the entry and exit registration form again. Ignore the names; pull out all Eastern faces coming from Inderia and check them!"

"Yes, Mr. Isadora." The informant of the Isadora Family followed her instructions to proceed with the task.

Regina Isadora slowly put down the phone and stood in place for a moment, hesitated for a bit, then dialed a number.

The call connected.

She changed the previous forceful and impatient tone, as if she was a tamed dog, speaking in a low and very respectful voice, "Shadow Lord, this is Regina Isadora. Is Her Majesty the Empress feeling better?"

The person on the other end said something unknown.

Regina Isadora, as though being reprimanded, lowered her head even more, speaking with extra caution, "It’s like this—I went to Inderia this time and found a genius in weapon manufacturing. She has developed several new weapon projects, and I want to report the progress to Her Majesty the Empress with her."

"Wait a minute."

Upon hearing the stern voice from the other side, Regina Isadora dared not say another word: "Alright."

There was a sound of rustling from the other end, and Regina Isadora’s heart almost reached her throat. Her heart beat like a drum, and even though she was on the phone, she dared not show a single expression of impertinence—a symbol of the most loyal servant.

Finally, she heard a cough from that side, followed by an old, hoarse, emotionless voice: "Who is the person you mentioned?"

This voice seemed to come from the distant sky, commanding authority without anger.

Regina Isadora’s heart trembled, and in a more fearful low voice, she said, "A collateral line of the Kingsleys Family... called, called Zevaney Kingsley."

"..." The person on the other end did not speak.

Regina Isadora’s heart was so tight that it was almost not beating. She carefully and cautiously said, "This person is very talented in weapon manufacturing and has the title of the Kingsleys Family’s once-in-a-century talent in Inderia."

"I specifically tested her, and she does indeed possess the astonishing talent as those in Inderia described. The First Research Institute has not produced any weapons for a long time, and I think she is very suitable to make up for our shortcomings in this aspect..."

Every word Regina Isadora spoke was with caution, rehearsing each in her heart repeatedly, fearing to say something wrong and displease the ancestor.

She mentally rehearsed her speech and then cautiously asked, "Do you have time to meet her?"

After saying this, the veins on the back of Regina Isadora’s hand stood out in tension, her whole being extremely nervous and afraid.

Fortunately, the person on the other end merely chuckled with an indeterminate intention: "A Kingsleys Family member?"

Regina Isadora immediately hesitated, pacing in a circle: "If it’s inconvenient for you, I’ll send her back right away."

She had just finished speaking.

The person on the other end coldly said, "No need. Find a time to bring her over; I also want to see... the Kingsleys Family’s once-in-a-century talent!"

Regina Isadora couldn’t discern if that statement was an affirmation or a satire and hadn’t had time to speak before the call was disconnected.

Regina Isadora moved the phone away; the clothes on her back were already dampened with sweat.

She looked up toward the direction of the second-floor guest room, exhaled a long breath of turbid air, squinted her eyes, and whispered, "I hope you don’t disappoint me..."
