CHAPTER 138: CHAPTER 138: "IT’S YOUR SCENT.

Anson was indeed intimidated, after all, the Cathan of today is no longer the sleeping lion of a century ago.

The Eastern dragon has awakened, and even a sneeze would cause neighboring small countries to tremble.

And Anson’s rise to his current position is inseparable from the economic support of many Chinese businessmen and even Cathan businessmen.

The reason why Celestrian businessmen invest in him is, on one hand, to open up the market and acquire resources here; on the other hand, businessmen possess patriotism, serving to cultivate some pro-Celestrian individuals who do not oppose us.

"Mr. Yates, rest assured," Anson stood up, placed both hands together in a gesture of respect, and solemnly said, "I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation for this matter."

Jack Yates finally restrained his hostility, speaking steadily, "Don’t go too hard on him, just force him out of the country."

Anson: "Mr. Yates wants to lure him into Cathan and then..."

Jack Yates raised a hand, sneering, "Scum like him doesn’t deserve to die on our Celestrian soil. Push him to Meridia, and I’ll have my ways to deal with him."

Anson readily agreed, made another gesture of respect, and sincerely expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, Mr. Yates."

As for what to thank, Anson didn’t say, and there was no need to say; both parties understood.

After Anson and his assistant Silon left, Kyle Sheffield picked up a soft Celestria cigarette from the table, shook one out, and handed it to Jack Yates.

Jack Yates dismissed it with a wave of his hand, "It’s hard to smoke."

Kyle Sheffield lit one for himself, jokingly said, "The Third Master Yates is of noble standing, anything other than Mount Taishon Buddha Light Tin Can is hard to smoke."

Jack Yates ignored him, got up, and walked outside.

Kyle Sheffield followed him, moving the cigarette to his left hand, walking beside him, and said in a low voice, "We’re not familiar with Meridia over there; having Anson drive him there might not be advantageous for us. Why not let Anson trap him in Southea, making it easier to deal with?"

Jack Yates said coldly, "Whether Anson has the ability to get rid of Ethan Wyatt or not, he won’t go all out even if he has."

Kyle Sheffield said nothing and took a drag from his cigarette.

Jack Yates coldly glanced at Kyle Sheffield, "Put out the cigarette."

Kyle Sheffield playfully joked, "I haven’t even gotten married yet, and I’m already living a controlled life."

Jack Yates ignored his jesting and continued, "With the election imminent, Anson is competing with Mason for the position of major general, and he can’t afford to focus on dealing with Ethan Wyatt. He’s too afraid that if Ethan Wyatt is pushed too hard, he’ll snap back."

Saying this, Jack Yates snorted coldly, "These drug lords are inhuman desperados who commit all sorts of evils for profit. Anson doesn’t dare to match their ruthlessness. He’s also afraid of Ethan Wyatt joining forces with Mason against him."

Kyle Sheffield: "So you simply suggested having him push Ethan Wyatt to Meridia, which could be seen as doing him a favor."

Jack Yates: "Fly to Corazon in three days; arrange for me to have the identity of an overseas Celestrian buyer."

Kyle Sheffield: "Alright, I’ll arrange it immediately." Then asked, "Do you need to transfer a batch of people from the company over?"

Jack Yates: "No need, just bring these people along."

After Jack Yates left, Renee Winslow got up from bed, put on clothes, picked up a book, and sat by the window to read.

The sun was shining in Maekong today, warming the room with its rays through the panoramic floor-to-ceiling glass windows, creating a cozy atmosphere indoors.

Jack Yates pushed open the bedroom door and was greeted by a warm and tender scene.

The gentle and pure girl sat by the bed, her tender white cheeks glowing under the sunlight, with a faint blush on them. A lock of hair fell down, gently swaying with the breeze.

Jack Yates felt a sudden itch in his heart, it was as if that lock of black, silky hair was blown by the wind into his heart, softly tickling his heart in a way he couldn’t resist.

Noticing someone enter, Renee Winslow raised her head and saw the deep eyes of Jack Yates, flickering with a mysterious fire, a look she was familiar with.

In the bathroom, he looked at her with those same eyes.

Renee Winslow hurriedly stood up, nervously swallowing, "Are... are you done with your work?"

Jack Yates walked over to her, drew her into his arms, kissed her lips, and in a deep voice, whispered, "What book are you reading?"

Renee Winslow showed him the cover of the book, "Here, this one."

Jack Yates glanced, it was all in English, chuckled, "You can understand all this English?"

Renee Winslow honestly replied, "No, I can’t."

Jack Yates buried his head in her tender neck, rubbing his nose against her neck, his voice huskily said, "You smell so good."

It wasn’t the first time Renee Winslow had heard Jack Yates say she smelled nice, but she didn’t use perfume, and she used a different shower gel every time. If there was a scent, it was the shower gel.

She tried to push Jack Yates’s face away but failed, softly explained, "It’s the hotel’s shower gel. You used it too."

Jack Yates restrained himself and bit her lightly, his voice even more husky, "It’s not the shower gel, it’s your scent."

Renee Winslow thought he was just finding an excuse because he wanted to do that.

Jack Yates lifted his head from her neck, wrapped his arms around her body, his face close to hers, and in a deep voice said, "Make a list of the books you want to read, and I’ll have someone buy them for you."

Renee Winslow said, "No need, I won’t be here for many days. I was just bored and picked up a book to read randomly."

When it came to English books, Renee Winslow turned around, looking at him softly, and asked gently, "I want to learn English, could you find me a foreign teacher?"

Jack Yates raised an eyebrow, "Aren’t you studying Chinese? Why do you suddenly want to learn English?"

Renee Winslow corrected him, "It’s Celestrian language and literature." After correcting him, she continued, "I want to learn English, having more skills doesn’t burden me."

Jack Yates sat down on the couch with her in his arms, bouncing his leg slightly, with a playful smile on his lips, "Indeed, it doesn’t burden."

Renee Winslow blushed and turned her head away, not responding to his comment.

Jack Yates kissed her on the corner of her lips, "I’ll send you back in three days."

Renee Winslow nodded, "Alright."

Jack Yates turned her face, his thumb gently rubbing her lips, "I’ll take you out to play tomorrow. Where do you want to go?"

Renee Winslow: "Anywhere is fine."

To her, after all, it was a new and unfamiliar city.

Jack Yates held her more tightly, his long fingers gently clasping and playing with hers.

Just as he was about to lean down to kiss Renee Winslow, his phone rang.

This time, without Renee Winslow urging, Jack Yates went straight to answer the call.

Picking up his phone, Jack Yates’s voice immediately reverted to its usual coldness, "Speak."

Kyle Sheffield reported, "Those two exchange students have successfully boarded a plane back to Northcity, and our people have also been arranged in Corazon."

Jack Yates: "Follow up at all times, don’t be complacent."

Kyle Sheffield: "Declan Donovan wants to come over to meet you and discuss cooperation."

Jack Yates coldly laughed, "Tell him to get lost."

Kyle Sheffield: "...If we refuse him, it’s equivalent to pushing him towards Matthew Shaw. Third Master, the reason Matthew Shaw dared to screw you over this time is probably because he chose the right side. If he ends up winning, even you’ll have to respect him."

Jack Yates gritted his teeth, a look of hostility appearing in his eyes.

Kyle Sheffield earnestly advised, "Matthew Shaw is a typical opportunist who forgets loyalty once he gains an advantage..."

"Enough." Jack Yates impatiently interrupted, "Let him wait."

Kyle Sheffield stopped advising, agreed, "Alright."

Jack Yates said, "Declan Donovan is very arrogant and suspicious."

Kyle Sheffield: "..."

Kyle Sheffield thought, could anyone be more arrogant than you, Third Young Master Yates?

Jack Yates’s voice was very cold, "If I meet him right away now, he won’t take this partnership seriously and might even become suspicious."

Kyle Sheffield: "Silon sent word that the government here has already released a warrant for Ethan Wyatt, and the military and police will be fully mobilized tonight."

Jack Yates: "Have them make it a big operation, the bigger, the better."

Kyle Sheffield laughed, "Then tonight Maekong will be bustling."

Jack Yates curled his lips into a silent smile.

After hanging up the phone, Jack Yates returned to Renee Winslow, held her again, rested his chin on her neck, and in a low voice asked, "How about taking you on a ride in the mountains tonight?"
