Triple Blessings: Mr. Fu’s Passionate Pursuit-Chapter 678 - 674: Mr. Lewis Wants to Retire

Chapter 678: Chapter 674: Mr. Lewis Wants to Retire

On the matter of resolving the Leutonia situation sooner rather than later, Richelle Dunn and Roy Lewis shared the same sentiments. freewēbnoveℓ.com

So, after the children went to sleep, the two of them each occupied a room – one in the study and one in their bedroom – and began their respective work.

The more it dragged on, the harder it became to gather intelligence.

Richelle had been busy for several days, but she had only managed to scrape together some minor and irrelevant information. As for major and important intelligence, she had come up empty-handed.

Richelle suspected that Mason Lilliput and his party had become suspicious.

Perhaps they had even begun to change their locations and disseminate false information deliberately to confuse them.

After all, considering how they had managed to quickly set up a fortress in Leutonia in just a few months after being wiped out in the central region, they were quite proficient in such matters.

And, regardless of whether it was her, Roy Lewis, or the Federation government which currently served as the main strike force.

Compared to their massive industrial chain, which had potentially been in use for several decades, their efforts were simply too juvenile.

The primary concern was that the Federation’s current operation aimed to completely annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop. The scale of the operation was enormous and even involved the interests of several countries.

As such, the intelligence they gathered needed to be extremely accurate. Otherwise, even the slightest carelessness could lead to a devastating loss.

Seated in front of the computer scratching her head, Richelle was struggling, while on Roy’s end, his discussions with Kennedy Green and his staff had reached a stalemate.

“Mr. Lewis, this matter is of utmost importance. If we make the slightest mistake, some of us might not make it back.”

Since Roy Lewis was still recovering from his injuries, he only took on the role of strategist, leading through the network and giving orders.

The people in charge of the actual combat were several other senior officers.

Roy Lewis had never been one to fear death. The primary reason he had taken on a command position this time was his current physical condition. Leading such a massive force on a mission to eliminate the enemy was too much of a challenge for him, let alone traveling abroad and enduring the weariness of the journey.

However, Mr. Zadra’s words carried a sinister tone, insinuating that Roy Lewis was afraid of dying and had chosen a comfortable position in the rear.

All in the hopes of reaping great rewards without having to risk his life on the front lines!

Kennedy Green was the first to frown, “Mr. Zadra, Mr. Lewis has always given his all, and his contributions to the massive victory in the central region operation were immense. Not to mention, he was also targeted for revenge by enemies. Everyone has seen this firsthand!”

“As for the deployment of this operation, we and Mr. Lewis have done our best to ensure everyone’s safety. However, there are no guarantees on the battlefield as guns have no eyes. There’s no way to protect against casualties. Yet, this is not the fault of Mr. Lewis or those responsible for planning the operation, but an inherent risk of the mission itself!”

“This operation is extremely dangerous, and we are all well aware of that. I am now announcing a 24-hour grace period during which anyone participating in the operation can submit a request to withdraw!”

Kennedy Green’s long speech brought the room to a silent hush.

Feeling no further inclination for discussion, he dismissed the meeting.

He then escorted the other staff members out, leaving himself and Roy Lewis alone.

“Roy, don’t worry about these people. They’re all just a bunch of short-sighted, selfish individuals.”

Roy Lewis was somewhat worried, “Uncle, it’s not that I have any grievances towards them. But with the way they’re behaving, you’ll have to keep fighting for at least another term. Are you sure they won’t cause any problems?”

Kennedy Green had also been considering this issue recently, “I’ve thought about it. If I’m re-elected this time, I’ll initiate a major reshuffle of the team. You can help me keep an eye on potential candidates when the time comes.”

Roy nodded, “Alright. Once this operation is successfully completed, I’ll have some time to myself, and I’ll get to work on it then.”

Kennedy Green clicked his tongue, “Hold on, there’s no need to rush. After this operation is over, you should take a break and spend some quality time with Richelle and the kids.”

Before Roy could say anything, Kennedy Green let out another sigh.

“Richelle has had it tough. You need to treat her well in the future.”

Roy uttered a murmured agreement before asking Kennedy another question.

“Uncle, if I were to request a transfer to a secondary position, would you let me go?”

Kennedy Green fell into deep thought, and after a long while, answered:

“If you were to bring it up, I would let you go.”

Kennedy Green was well aware that much of what Roy Lewis was currently involved in and dealing with was thankless work.

In the past, Roy had been a lone wolf with few concerns.

But now that he had a family of five, with three young children, it was only natural for him to desire a peaceful life, both for his own sake and that of his kids.

Roy only replied with a simple “Alright” before steering the conversation back to other business matters.

The two of them continued chatting until nearly eleven o’clock when Kennedy Green asked him:

“Have you received any important intelligence recently?”

Giving a glance at the interface that had remained quiet for several days, Roy shook his head.

“It’s been too difficult. The fact that they’ve managed to achieve this level of success while working alone has been incredibly impressive.”

This was something Kennedy Green couldn’t help but agree with.

However, there was one aspect that had puzzled him until now.

“This hacker’s skills are incredible, but their fees seem to have been decreasing lately. How come?”

Roy Lewis provided Margareth’s rewards by reporting the expenses, usually covering the initial payment himself before being reimbursed by higher-ups after a review.
