“But again, Miss Ella, wasn’t Declan a little too good to us?”
Ella was taken aback by Luke’s words, but she said later with a slight smile, “Your worries are not
unreasonable, but I don’t think you should be so alarmed… After all, we paid for every service Declan
provided us, which is in line with a businessman’s business method.”
Luke nodded and said no more.

The next day, at the airport…
Ella and Luke were stopped by a group of people in special uniforms as they prepared to board the
plane.
“I’m sorry, you are suspected of a major case of trading state-owned assets. Please cooperate with us
to assist in our investigations…”
“We have contracts and agreements, and we have notarized videos. At the same time, we are not from
Somerland. So, Somerland doesn’t have the right to penalize us even if there is a problem. Who are
you to arrest us?” Luke said coldly.
At the same time, his heart sank.
What he was most worried about had really happened… This might be a trap.
Ella had obviously never experienced such a thing, and at the same time, she could not figure out what
was happening. So, she could only stand in place and wait for Luke to deal with it.
When Luke was about to make a call, his communication devices were forcibly confiscated. Then, the
two were brought away…

Early the next morning, Jasper got a call from Mr. McNeal.
“Jasper, after urgent discussions, we don’t want to escalate the specifications of this meeting, so the
participants will all be excellent business representatives from Somerland and the United States. The
meeting is scheduled for three o’clock in the afternoon. Come and participate. We will be using a video
conference for this international meeting.”
Jasper replied humbly, “Okay, Mr. McNeal. I will listen in when the time comes.”
After Mr. McNeal finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
After Jasper went to the location Mr. McNeal sent, the meeting proceeded according to the normal
process. Both Somerland and the United States sent some representatives to negotiate.
Everyone was made their demands known little by little. The two sides seemed to be engaging in a
mental battle, and the situation was highly anxiety-inducing.
Fortunately, Somerland got some of what it wanted, and the United States also got something.
Therefore, everyone got what they wanted.
When everyone brought up the important issue of purchasing treasury bonds, Jasper got Mr. McNeal’s
consent and stood up. “Wait, we have another request!”
All eyes were on Jasper.
“Since you want to reach a cooperation with us, you should abandon all former hatred… We hope that
you can release Mr. Boyle’s granddaughter.”
After saying this, the representatives of the United States, who had been holding back for a long time,
raised a smug smile on the corners of their mouths.
“Somerland representative, we don’t understand what you’re saying.
“We won’t touch anything related to potential terrorist attacks.”
Jasper smiled. He had already guessed what these foreign devils would do.
Since the higher-ups were not involved in today’s meeting and it was just a conversation between
businessmen, Jasper did not show them any respect at all. “I didn’t ask you to hand over the hostages.
This time, we’re exchanging hostages.”
“Exchanging hostages? I’m sorry, I don’t understand what you mean by that…”
The United States representatives spread their hands and shrugged, apparently thinking that Jasper
was simply being an alarmist.
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand. It’s fine as long as you can tell what this is.”
Jasper then immediately asked the staff at the scene to play the video he had prepared.
“Isn‘t that the eldest daughter of the Nason family? When did she go to Somerland and fall into the
other party’s hands?”
