    Chapter 748


    Matthew moved towards the keyboard, making it clear he was about to take action. Hamm,


    frightened, quickly backed down, worried about the potential consequences of Grant’s actions.


    “Alright, 1711 think it over. But you can’t leave just yet Davin was right–transportation here is down. I


    arrange for you to stay somewhere for now. Once we’re ready, we’ll make arrangements for your


    departure.


    Hearing this, Matthew chose not to refuse. After all,pared to Hamm, he was just an ordinary


    person here. Hamm’s high position and authority meant that if he was angered, even Davin might


    not be able to protect Matthew. So, Matthew said nothing more and simply stood up and left as


    instructed.


    Hamm had people keep an eye on Matthew, ostensibly for his protection. Matthew understood it


    was more about monitoring him to prevent escape. He didn’t take it too seriously, considering that


    with this surveince, he wouldn’t be found by the gangs for now. It was a good opportunity for him


    to rest and recuperate. However, Matthew knew Valerie might have to wait a bit longer, and he


    wondered how long Hamm would keep him confined


    Matthew was assigned to the third floor of the government military headquarters, right above the


    office area, with tight security. Although he had no intention of escaping his mind was preupied


    with Valerie


    Just after settling onto the bed, Matthew heard a knock on the door. He frowned and called out,


    “Who is it?”


    “It’s me, bringing you some food, a pleasant female voice responded, making Matthew furrow his


    brow even more. In this situation, a woman’s presence was unexpected.


    Thinking it over, Matthew realized that the logistics team might include women, and he was indeed


    hungry. He opened the door to find a woman in a trench coat approaching him, carrying a tray. On


    the tray were a bottle of red wine and a steak.


    Matthew nodded and gestured. Just leave it there.


    As the woman entered, Manhew finally took a good look at her. She was a striking beauty from


    Wakanda, tall and curvaceous, wearing high heels. His curiosity was piqued and he thought. In


    such a ce, and during a time of conflict, it’s quite unusual to see a woman dressed like this, was


    she from the logistic department indeed?


    The woman set the tray down but didn’t leave Instead, she turned to Matthew and removed her


    trench coat, revealing sensual lingerie underneath. Matthew frowned at the unexpected disy, but


    the woman walked toward him and said, I’ve heard you’re a hero who helped turn the ride for our


    government forces. I’m quite interested in you”


    The woman gave him a seductive smile and moved to drape her arms around his neck. Matthew


    pushed her away firmly. She stumbled back, shocked and incredulous. “If you’re just here to deliver


    food, you can leave. If there’s something else, I’m not interested, Matthew said, pushing her out the


    door.


    The woman, frustrated, stomped her foot and thought, I can’t believe it. How could someone not be


    interested in someone like me? He’s just pretending not to care. Determined, she said, Tll be back


    tonight” before leaving

    Matthew sneered, a trace of irritation and coldness in his eyes. He had dealt with situations like this


    before with ease, but now, being married, be found such advances repulsive and couldn’t be


    bothered to entertain them. His thoughts were consumed with longing for Valerie, missing her every


    expression and smile. Being cut off frommunicating with her, Matthew feared Valerie would


    be left in the dark about his fate, which would surely be devastating for her.


    After chasing the woman away, Matthew nced at the tray, confirming that the food was fine


    before he began eating, and realized that the meal was quite good. Once he finished eating quickly,


    hey down to rest. If possible, he hoped to return home soon and was counting on Davin to


    resolve the situation so he could reunite with his loved ones as soon as possible.


    Matthew took our his phone, looking at Valerie on the screen with a Gint smile. Gradually, he drifted


    off to sleep. These days had been exhausting for him, with constant bombings and asional


    chases keeping him on edge. With the chance to finally rest and feel safe, he allowed himself to


    rx and unwind,


    Hamm was visibly frustrated when he learned that the woman had been rejected. “How could you


    mess up even something like this” he snapped.


    The woman, undeterred by her earlier rejection, confidently dered, “Don’t worry. If I’ve set my


    sights on a man, there’s no way I can’t win him over. Just wait and see—I’ll have him falling at my


    feer by tonight”


    Hamm’s expression hardened as he replied, “Alright, make it quick. If you can make him stay and


    work for us, I’ll make sure you get amendation.” Hamm could not afford to let Matthew go, he


    had to ensure Matthew served their cause. Otherwise, he would not be at ease.


    Hearing this, the woman nodded repeatedly. As night fell and silence enveloped the buikling, she


    approached the door and found it unmoved. She thought, ‘Seriously? Is he even a man! He locked


    the door!‘
