Chapter 215
"No worries, all's been chill lately, no one's been busting our balls." Lamont had everything prepared ahead of time and directly handed Astrid the accounts, "All the records are here, take a look." Astrid bent her head to check the accounts, the silence in the car was suffocating.
After who knows how long. Astrid lifted her head, "Did you guys have a run in with a dude named Quincy?"
"Not really a run in. The business on the dark web is all about snatching. They're not as strong as us, so clients wouldn't want to assign tasks to them. We earn our business on merit."
"Astrid, are you going to swing by the HQ? The boys heard you were coming and they're stoked."
Astrid paused for a moment, "Once I'm done with my stuff and have some free time, I'll drop by."
"Sure, sure." Lamont was high up in the ranks within the organization, but he could still be thrown off by Astrid's aura.
But Chad had told him that Astrid was a young girl who was easy to get along with.
The girl in front of him had such a strong vibe. How was she easy to get along with?
The atmosphere in the car was tense again.
The sound of a cheerful game came from the backseat.
A twitch appeared at the corner of Lamont's mouth; he was at a loss for words.
He was finding it harder and harder to figure out his boss.
Once they got to the hotel, Astrid started a video call with Roman as soon as she put her stuff down.
Roman immediately showered her with a barrage of virtual kisses, "I miss you, I miss you, I miss you! Kisses~”
"Auntie, when are you coming back? I miss you so much, I'm starving and I've lost weight!"
Everyone else in the room looked at Roman's chubby hands and plump chin and were at a loss for words.
Lose weight?
Starving and losing weight after just a few hours?
Astrid chuckled, "I miss you too. Are you at your grandparents' house?"
Before Roman could reply, the camera shifted and Amanda Lampard appeared in the video, "Astrid, you're in G country? I heard it's dangerous there, take care of yourself!" "Don't worry, I'll take good care of myself."
"Speaking of which, I know some people in G country; where are you? I'll have them come protect you, okay?" Amanda's expression was serious, "Tell me where you are right now." Knowing Amanda was serious, Astrid replied, "I won't wander off; I'll be back in at most three days; there won't be any problems."
"Then you have to report to mom every night, or mom will worry about you!"
Mom?
Astrid showed a slightly awkward but polite smile.
Next, the camera shook a few times, and she saw Elio.
"My people are nearby. Be careful, and I'll see you when you're back."
His people?
This guy had people in G country too?
Never underestimate him.
After getting a response, Elio handed the phone back to Roman.
Roman, afraid Amanda would snatch his phone, hid in his room with his phone and continued the video call with Astrid.
After about twenty minutes, Astrid ended the call.
But she had an uneasy feeling.
Dark web users usually don't leave contact info in private, she and Quincy had agreed on a meet-up time and place on the dark web, but now she was a bit nervous.
She walked over to her computer, logged into the dark web, and sent Lamont several messages.
After a while, there was still no reply from Quincy.
An hour later, someone knocked on her hotel room door.
someone called and said Quincy was in a car accident!"
Car accident?
