Albert stood respectfully in front of Danial and Dorothy. Breaking the silence, Danial questioned, "Do you have one of your lapdogs, Jeff, stationed at Sterling Technological Company in the role of a supervisor?"
Albert's lips quivered as he replied, "Yes, his name is Jeff. I stationed him at Sterling for information gathering purposes."
Danial, indifferent yet assertive, stated, "He did something he shouldn't have, and I need you to fix it."
Albert bowed and promised, "Please order, and I will fix it immediately."
Glancing at Dorothy, Danial informed, "Your lapdog, Jeff, framed her father, who was in charge of a project at Sterling Technology. Now her father is facing the company's wrath because of your lapdog's fault. Tell me, how do you want to fix it?"
Albert, sweating, responded, "I will immediately send that man to the police, and he will face his charges. I will personally remove the frame from her father."
"Good. Do it now," Danial commanded.
Albert wasted no time, immediately calling his subordinate to bring Jeff to the park. In a matter of minutes, a car arrived, and Jeff stepped out, approaching Albert casually, asking, "Yes, boss, you called me this late. Is there anything I can help with?"
In a fit of rage, Albert slapped Jeff and yelled, "You lunatic! Do you want me to get killed, you bastard!"
Jeff, bewildered, held his face, insisting, "But what did I do? I did what you asked me to do, and it's done."
Feeling Danial's piercing gaze, Albert slapped Jeff again, ordering, "I know what you did. Now, I order you to take the blame for the project you ruined and hand yourself to the police."
Jeff, stunned, protested, "But boss, I didn't do anything wrong."
Enraged, Albert threatened, "Do you want to go to the police, or do you want me to break your bones?"
Observing the situation, Danial thought, "This is just cringe. I should solve the problem and get out of here. Also, there are the system rewards I need to check; maybe I will get something amazing."
Albert stood respectfully in front of Danial and Dorothy. Breaking the silence, Danial questioned, "Do you have one of your lapdogs, Jeff, stationed at Sterling Technological Company in the role of a supervisor?"
Albert's lips trembled, and he admitted, "Yes, he's deployed into Sterling for info gathering."
Danial, indifferent yet assertive, stated, "He did something he shouldn't have, and I need you to fix it."
Albert bowed and promised, "Please order, and I will fix it immediately."

Observing the situation, Danial thought, "This is just cringe. I should solve the problem and get out of here. Also, there are the system rewards I need to check; maybe I will get something amazing."
Waving his hand dismissively, Danial said, "Albert, you don't need to show off. Teach him a lesson. Right now, I need her father to be out of trouble as soon as possible and prioritize clearing her father's name."
Albert agreed, "Okay, sir. I will do it now."
After making some calls, Albert reported, "It's done. Her father is now safe, and the company is returning the position of the project manager to her father once again."
Dorothy surprised and overjoyed, shed tears of gratitude. Looking at Danial, she said, "Thank you, Danial. I don't know how you did it, but thank you."
Danial, trying to lighten the mood, teased, "A hug isn't enough. How about a kiss on the... cheek? I might be satisfied."
Dorothy hesitated, but Danial quickly added, "Okay, I'm joking. You don't have to—"
Before he could finish, Dorothy planted a sweet kiss on his cheek. Danial, taken aback, thought, "I didn't expect Dorothy would do that. Maybe she's super happy, maybe she likes me. Who cares? Let me enjoy the moment."
Dorothy blushed, excused herself, and said, "Thanks for the help. I'll treat you to dinner sometime. Bye!"
Once Dorothy left, Danial turned to Albert, considering him as the underground figure in the Southerland district. He suggested, "Well done, Albert. You're quick. I still have many questions, so let's talk in the car, shall we?"
