Chapter 311 Paradise Ventures
Herbert logged into a plain, grayscale webpage featuring just a solitary chat interface.
His hands shook as he clicked into the chatbox. He explained, “She contacts me here every time, but the message history gets wiped whenever I log out.”
George squinted at the site, noting the URL and Herbert’s password.
They had gleaned all they could from Herbert for now. As for the dark web and chat records that would have to wait.
But reinforcements were en route.
Herbert stood aside and trembling with fear, hoping the Haldoria people would not end his life.
He deeply regretted his involvement in this mess, wishing he had not been lured by that 150 million.
The Haldorians are so scary, and I don’t even know if I can escape unscathed.
Herbert was taken away by the men and locked up as he still served some purpose.
Meanwhile, the remaining members of Tesidus who resisted were imprisoned, while those who surrendered were kept under close watch. Hence, Zircon City was under the control of Kyle and
his men.
After all, Kyle’s men were from Maridonia and were seasoned professionals, so they were very capable.
They were here to settle the score with Eric.
Kate’s gaze lingered on the laptop George held.
The dark web page kept nagging at her mind. There was something unsettlingly familiar about it, though she could not place why. It seemed like the webpage she had seen before.
But no
no matter how hard she racked her brain, she could not recall where she had seen it before.
Why do I find it so familiar?
Puzzled but unable to find an answer, Kate pushed the thought aside and gave up on figuring it
out.
She and George did not linger in Zircon City.
While they struck Zircon City, another team had seized Erfah City, bringing it under their control. Half of Bastilla’s underground factions had been taken over in a swift series of

In Haldoria, Capital City, it had been more than two weeks since Kate and her team departed, and the situation in Capital City had subtly shifted.
HN Studio had once again fallen silent, while Lowe Group and Davison Group maintained their steady, albeit unremarkable activities. Meanwhile, a newcomer, Paradise Ventures, had emerged as a new commercial powerhouse, rapidly capturing significant market share and become one of the new prominent business entities.
Paradise Ventures began as a little–known firm, primarily dealing in venture capital. Recently, with a remarkable talent fo
identifying profitable opportunities, the company made a series of clever investments that yielded substantial returns. This swift success enabled Paradise Ventures to broaden its operations and multiply its market value by more than a hundred times.
The company’s rapid ascent was truly extraordinary, drawing significant attention within the business community.
However, despite its rising fame, Paradise Ventures chose to remain modest. Instead of making a grand entrance or aggressively capturing market share, it preferred a more natural and gentle strategy, seamlessly blending into the vibrant commercial scene of Capital City.
In contrast, with their leaders absent and out of sight for some time, Davison Group and Lowe Group struggled to match the escalating influence of Paradise Ventures.
Paradise Ventures‘ headquarters were situated adjacent to Starlight Tower.
Meanwhile, on the top floor of the headquarters of Paradise Ventures…
The topmost level, housing the office of Paradise Ventures‘ enigmatic CEO, exuded an air of opulence and sophistication.
Seated in a high–backed chair behind a mahogany desk, the CEO faced away from the office staff. Her voice, cold and commanding, broke the silence. “Any updates from overseas?”
Her tone was aristocratic and frosty. From the perspective of the assistants, all they could see was a slender, pale hand resting on the chair’s arm, its index finger tapping rhythmically–an action that exuded a chilling aura of authority.
