Chapter 651 - 657 - : Taking Command in a Crisis
Yang Yi followed Jethro into Corkdor’s stronghold. People brought by Corkdor were not numerous but definitely among Deyo’s more elite forces, and now, Corkdor’s guards all looked very tense.
However, the tension among Corkdor’s bodyguards was not due to Jethro’s arrival, this much was clear; their nervousness likely stemmed from the identity of the guest inside.
If one had to meet someone at three in the morning, and if Corkdor wasn’t lying, then he truly was seeing an important visitor.
No one stopped Jethro, someone even opened the door to the living room for him, and when Yang Yi and the others followed Jethro inside, no one tried to block their entry.
There were four people in the living room, with Corkdor seated in the center. Beside him was a woman, and across from Corkdor sat two others, though they looked like attendants. Therefore, the visitor was that woman.
Yang Yi sized up the woman, about forty, with brown hair in a bob cut, black-framed glasses, dressed in a dark blue business suit, and black flat leather shoes on her feet.
Her clothes and appearance did not reveal much about the woman, but her eyes were sharp, her lips thin, and she maintained a smile that didn’t give off a mean impression.
Upon seeing Jethro’s entrance, Corkdor stood up, followed swiftly by the woman.
Corkdor shook hands with Jethro first, then pointing to the woman beside him, he said, "This is Ms. L."
