The Harrison Corporation.With the latest information with him, Austin went to Seth's office.

When the elevator's door opened, Austin was greeted by a female secretary, who lead him to her boss's office.

A knock broke the silence inside Seth's office.

He didn't even need to raise his head to see who it was.

He already knew that Austin was his visitor, and he also knew what the man came here for.

Seth remained on his seat, buried in the pile of papers in front of him.

His expression remained nonchalant, and his eyes didn't even spare a glance at Austin.

"Is there any news from the Black Alliance?" He asked softly.

No smile could be found in his thin lips nor a trace of warmth on his cold-looking face.

Austin opened his mouth to say something but decided to close it again.

For a minute, he remained stunned and speechless by how his boss was able to accurately predict his purpose for visiting him.

He just got the news two minutes ago, but it already reached his boss.

"Yes, Sir,'' he answered sternly.

Austin glanced at Seth before he continued, "The Black Alliance has agreed to meet you.They want to see you tonight at eight o'clock."

Austin's announcement made Seth frown slightly.

Although he already predicted that the Black Alliance would agree to meet him, he didn't expect that it would be this early.

Could this mean that they were not allowed to make prior plans or preparations? Seeing how Seth's expression responded to his news, Austin also furrowed his eyebrows.

In his opinion, this matter was not easy to deal with.

The Black Alliance was known to be cryptic and secretive.

Some people said that the organization had the most highly skilled IT experts, and they also had several men who were skilled in martial arts.

There were also rumors that their organization was trying to recruit as many experts as they could.

These circulating conspiracies seemed to be true, given that the Black Alliance who emerged out of nowhere, had occupied nearly all the chips in the chip sector in just a span of a few years.

"Why don't you let me attend on your behalf tonight, Sir?' Austin suggested.

As long as he wore a mask, it shouldn't be a problem for them.

Seth was the only heir to the Harrison family, so Austin would not allow him to do something that could harm him.

"Oh” Seth uttered in sarcasm as he smirked at the man standing in front of him.

Seth's expression turned colder, his eyebrows were knitted tightly.

"What? Are you worried that something might happen to me?"

He scoffed as he clasped his hands and raised his eyebrows.

Austin didn't miss the menacing look in his master's eyes.

He was so terrified that he knelt on the ground and immediately bowed his head to apologize to his boss.

"I'm sorry for suggesting such a stupid thing, Mr.Harrison.I deserve your punishment! However, I am just worried that the Black Alliance might be planning something against you.They're cunning, and you might never be able to defend yourself against them."

Seth placed his slender fingers on his marble table and tapped it rhythmically.

He smiled faintly, looking at Austin's worried expression towards him.

"Since we can't guard against the Black Alliance, we gave up and confronted it.I want to see how powerful everyone in the Black Alliance is' On the other hand, there was the Sullivan Family.

Melody opened her phone and saw a text message from Luke.

Luke: [Boss, we've already made an appointment to meet with the Harrison Family.We told them to meet us in Room 401 in Brooklyn City tonight at eight o'clock.It seems like the heir of the Harrison Family will be the one who will come.Do you need me to go with you?]

Melody immediately deleted the message after she read it.She typed her reply to Luke.

Melody: [Don't bother, Luke.Johnson will go with me.]

On the other side of the line, Luke, who received the message, Stared at his phone restlessly.

He held his phone tightly, unable to shake off the uneasy feeling he had.He suddenly had a strange feeling.

Why did he feel like he lost Melody's trust? How could Johnson, who was a traitor, seem to be closer to Melody than him? Luke, who was very much against the idea, went to find his boss.

However, he stopped when he realized that he wasn't allowed to do anything without an order from his boss.

After all, his boss getting angry at him would be the last thing he wanted to happen.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Minx officially opened for business.

Although it was only open for business, there were already a lot of people inside the club.

The entire place was filled with laughter and endless conversations by the guests.

In Room 401, all the members of the Harrison family were present.They were sitting together, waiting for the other group to arrive.

Seth, who was dressed in a black shirt, slowly sat in a corner of the sofa.

His gaze roamed around the dance floor, staring at the people who seemed to be having a blast.

Despite the upbeat atmosphere surrounding the club, Seth's expression remained calm and unbothered.

A few minutes later, Austin entered the room and looked for Seth to announce the latest news.

"Seth, the people from the Black Alliance are here.Should we let them in?" Austin asked.

Seth raised his head and nodded softly.

Austin lowered his head in response and left the room.A few moments later, a masked man came in.Although the man was wearing a mask, Seth was able to recognize him immediately.He realized that he was the man who was followed by Melody at the same club before.Seth's lips curved in a mocking smile.'’

So, this man was really from the Black Alliance.It looks like Melody is also a part of them.
