"Lowell, your phone." The assistant brought the phone forward.
Quincy Lowell saw the number, quickly reached out to take it, swiped to answer, and waved for everyone in the private room to wait for him by the door.
The call connected, and before Quincy could speak, the voice on the other end already sounded: "I heard you met Mr. Porter in person today?"
"Yes, sir." Quincy replied respectfully, but didn't dare mention that Porter had left on short notice again.
The voice on the other end clearly relaxed: "Very good. I heard this deal, The Directorate has agreed to invest. If you can secure this contract, the Lowell Family may have to relocate to Veridia."
The Lowell Family was already a top family in City of Maridia, but Veridia was another world altogether—the pinnacle of power in Z Country. This circle is vast, but outsiders have long ceased to have a foothold. Impenetrable.
