The president was pinching the bridge of her nose, having a headache handling the matter regarding Clovis and Iskandar.
"What am I going to do about this? If I don't help the Anatas family, it might lead them to rebel later, or they might entirely leave the country.
"At the same time, we can't afford to offend the Hacfield family either. It's true that our nation is strong. We can offend anyone but not the Hacfield family.
"What if that madman sneaks into this country and kills me? It will be a disaster for this country."
While the president was thinking about the solution, her phone suddenly rang.
"Hmm?" The president frowned and reached for the call. She stayed silent for a moment to see who the other party was.
"Hello, President Lidya. I am Ghost."
"!!!" The president widened her eyes in shock. She never thought the call would reach her directly. How did she do it?
"I am not someone you are supposed to call." The president put on a tough front, showing that she was still the president of one of the top five countries in the world.
However, Silvia simply replied, "Let's not talk about something useless, shall we? I'm only going to make my point. I'm sure that you don't want this matter to escalate. If Michael Hacfield comes to you, you might not be able to hold out."
"Is that a threat?" Lydia narrowed her eyes. "I'm not responding to threats very well. If my death can be used to turn the world against the Hacfield family, won't it be bad for the Hacfield family as well, especially Clovis Hacfield?"
"Only if your people still trust you. Don't you think I'm capable of exposing the entire corruption that is currently going on in your government?"
"..." Lydia frowned. "What do you want?"
"I'm not making a threat. Rather, I'm offering you an opportunity where both of us can win."
"An opportunity?"
"Don't you know that the Libation Fiesta has gone to your country because of my arrangement?"
"..." The president fell silent. She had never heard it directly, but she had guessed. The first clue was in Vina's hand, the Global Ghost Order. The second clue was the fact that Lanol hadn't made a move yet. The third clue was the subtle movement in the shadow. "Go on."
"You want Iskandar Anatas. I want my peace." Silvia smiled. "The Anatas family will definitely try to clear their name by attacking the Libation Fiesta."
"You want me to stop them?"
"Not at all. I want to dismantle the Anatas family."
"!!!" The president widened her eyes in shock.
"Iskandar Anatas is just a foolish young man. He is like a lost lamb, who has yet to find a true master to guide him."
"You want to destroy the Anatas family and let us handle Iskandar Anatas, who has lost his backing? There are so many organizations that want him."
"That's why I'm telling you about this right now."
"..." The president's body shook. Silvia mentioned it here so that she could make the first move. This way, they could get Iskandar before other organizations. Still, she had some worries, especially with the fact that his family was gone. He might harbor a grudge about it.
"Don't worry. I know that you are worried about the Anatas family, but I can rewrite everything, including the relationship with his family. This way, you won't have to worry about that relationship anymore."
The president was surprised, but this deal was definitely a good one for their country. If they managed to control Iskandar Anatas, it was much better than taking care of the entire Anatas family.
The Anatas family was like a snake, swallowing everything. However, Iskandar Anatas wasn't that type of person. It could be said that most of the trouble Iskandar had caused came from the elders in his family.
That was why if they could reform Iskandar, he might become a Tier 9 that was directly attached to the government. It would be a much closer relationship than the relationship between Clovis and Absalom.
As the president, she was tempted. It was no wonder Silvia called it an opportunity. "What do you want?"
"I only want two things. I want you to cooperate with all the rewritten stories."
"Didn't you boast about your ability earlier?"
"I don't mind doing it myself, but that brat might find something off in the future because of you not knowing what I write. If you don't mind, I can do it myself."
Lydia sighed. "Fine."
"Second, I don't want the Silver Crystal Group to remain."
Lydia's expression turned solemn. The Anatas family was a thorn in their side, especially to get Iskandar. Removing them was understandable.
However, the Silver Crystal Group was just a third party who happened to be involved. It looked like Shadow had indeed investigated everything. She must know that the Silver Crystal Group's Gongho had clashed with Clovis.
The Silver Crystal Group was the second strongest mercenary group in the country, so losing them was quite a blow. But if it could be exchanged for a future Tier 9 joining their side, it was definitely worth it.
"I want a guarantee first."
"Of course. Iskandar Anatas will be delivered to you. And you can eliminate the Silver Crystal Group after that. However, I have to warn you. If you are going to renege on the promise after I've delivered that young boy… there are not many people who can walk away after making an agreement with me."
"I know." Lydia squinted her eyes as the call ended. Her expression turned solemn. 'The Ghost, huh? She is truly someone that no one can underestimate.
'Just like the rumors, if the Ghost makes an arrangement, any deviation will be fixed by her. I don't know why the Libation Fiesta took a mission from the Ghost, but I can monitor the situation first.
'Let's see how capable the Ghost truly is.' Lydia crossed her arms. She had heard a lot of rumors about the Ghost, but she had never personally experienced it.
So, she was rather curious about how the Ghost planned to handle this problem.
