Chapter 272


    Leon''s mouth twitched.


    "Will he be that ruthless? If he finds out you''re Raven, he''ll probably want to recruit you into Killian Corporation.


    "Then, the Killian family would be your backer, and you could use their influence to smooth things over with Miridian. You could maybe get them to stop chasing you."


    "Forget it," Hera replied casually.


    "He''s told me before that he''s not doing well with the Killian family and wants to make it on his own."


    Leon didn''t know what to say.


    He wondered what "not doing well" meant, given that he could marry, inherit, and be the next head of the family.


    Hera drank half of her coffee as they talked. She then pulled out a silver USB drive from her pocket and inserted it into theputer. Shortly after, her fingers danced swiftly across the keyboard.


    Leon knew Hera was skilled, but this was the first time he had witnessed her prowess firsthand.


    Her fingers moved like graceful reeds, leaving only faint traces on the keyboard. The screen filled with rapidly scrolling white text on a ck background before he could decipher any of the code.


    Ten minutester, several documents appeared on the previously empty SD card.


    They were named in the default style of old Nokia phone systems. There were albums, recordings, and so on.


    However, someone had maliciously shredded the original data, and the recovery was iplete. The photo albums contained pictures that could no longer be disyed.


    Hera listened to an audio file in the recordings.


    It was recorded 11 years ago, but the exact date couldn''t be determined due to iplete data recovery.


    "Is this it? Boss, you''re truly amazing!" Leon eximed excitedly as he pulled out his phone.


    "I''ll text Amelia."


    "Wait."


    Hera raised her hand to stop him. She double-clicked the audio file and yed it.


    Leon widened his eyes.


    "Boss! I have a confidentiality agreement with her "Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org.


    "Hush! Quiet," Hera cut him off.


    The audio yed. Initially, there was only the sound of rustling, possibly due to poor recording or damaged audio quality.


    This continued for over five minutes until another voice emerged.


    "...If this goes wrong, people could die!"


    It was a man''s rough voice, deliberately kept low. He sounded nervous.


    Hera''s eyes lit up. She was listening intently when the rustling sound returned.


    Six minutes passed before another voice, a woman''s, spoke up.


    "I''ll give you 500 thousand dors. Do as I say. Once it''s done, regardless of the oue, I''ll look after your wife and daughter..." After that came the rustling sound.


    Hera found the voice somewhat familiar. Upon closer thought, she concluded it was Queenie''s voice.


    The recording ended there, followed by three minutes of rustling, then silence.


    Hera considered the information


    from the recording-"11 years ago", "people could die", "500 thousand


    dors", and "looking after


    lov


    someone''s wife and daughter".


    She connected this information to

    Daphne''s car ident from 11 years ago. She wondered if it was Queenie who instructed Robin to cause the ident that killed Daphne.


    Unfortunately, the crucial evidence in this recording was missing.


    She attempted to recover the data again, but the result was the same.


    Unwilling to give up, she tried using software to repair the recording, but it still didn''t work. It seemed like something had interfered during the recording process.


    Hera clenched her fists at the thought of Queenie''s cunning face.


    Seeing her unsettling expression, Leon cautiously touched her shoulder.


    "Boss, are you okay? This recording sounds like a contract killing. Could it be rted to Madison and Isabe? You asked me to keep an eye on them."
