Chapter 984 Use Your Brain
“All right, got it. For our next step, let’s think about how to get rid of these people!”
Sophie was also present in the conference room, and Bertram’s laptop was placed in front of her.
Bertram initially wanted to ask Sophie for her opinion. As the latter’s performance had been outstanding recently, he had unknowingly become increasingly dependent on her.
However, when he saw her playing computer games so seriously, he chose not to bother her and ended up sharing his own thoughts instead.
Tristan listened attentively as Bertram spoke. After working under Tristan for such a long time, Bertram had become rather apt at handling such matters and had his own thoughts on how things should be done.
However, as it was the first time Tristan asked Bertram to put together a plan, it was inevitable for the latter to feel somewhat nervous.
After Bertram finished speaking, Tristan finally nodded and said, “Not bad, you’ve improved a lot. Let’s go ahead with what you have proposed, but be careful when you’re up against them. Don’t get hurt.”
It would be difficult to avoid injuries when dealing with those big shots. However, if there was a better way to approach the them, that would be the best.
Just then, new messages appeared on the screen. It was Sophie who projected them.
“Let’s take a look at these messages first. I believe they would be of great use to us.”
Bertram gaped in disbelief when he saw the messages containing the dark secrets of the big shots.
Wasn’t she playing computer games? How did she dig out all this juicy information within less than twenty minutes? Besides, the contents are all so shocking! With this information, those guys would have no choice but to do as we say.
Sophic pointed to her head and said, “Bert, no matter what we attempt to do, we should always use our brains a little. It would make our work much easier.”
Bertram nodded, agreeing with her words. Indeed, a lot of time could be saved if we just use our brains a little.
“Just give me a call if you need any help next time.” Sophie only said that because she genuinely saw the potential in Bertram.
“Yup, I will. Ms. Tanner, you’re indeed very capable.”
Tristan glanced at Sophie, amazed at her hacking capabilities. It would not be an overstatement to say that her skills were unmatched.
“Ms. Tanner, have you heard of Wings of Light?” asked Bertram.
Ms. Tanner’s skills certainly seem to be on par with Phantom from Wings of Light! How is it possible that Wings of Light did not try to recruit her?
“What’s Wings of Light? It’s my first time hearing about it,” Sophie replied while shutting the laptop. “You guys can carry on talking. My eyes are tired. I’m going out to take a break.”
Sophie stood up and walked away after she finished speaking. She wasn’t interested in such matters. Besides, she had already done whatever she could to help.
“Mr. Tristan, do you think Ms. Tanner could actually be Phantom?”
Phantom’s gender is not known, as no one has seen them before. But judging by Ms. Tanner’s skills, she could very well be Phantom!
“Just focus on what you need to do and stop being a busybody!”
None of that mattered to Tristan.
Most importantly, she was now his woman, and he did not care about any of her past identities.
They meant nothing to him!
Right after Sophie walked out, she received a call from Arius. Knowing that she was busy. Arius had not contacted her for some time. During this time, he had been trying to solve the internal problems that the medical association was having.
“What’s wrong?” said Sophie as she answered the call.
I’ve finally gotten a moment to take a break. Is this going to be about another problem? I haven’t even rested yet!
“Am I only allowed to call you when there’s something wrong? Am I not allowed to miss you?”
Jeez, this girl is so practical!
“I’m hanging up if there’s nothing important. I still have other things to take care of!” Sophie certainly had no time for idle chit-chat.
“Wait! Don’t hang up! I do have something to tell you. So… I’ve encountered a problem lately, and I haven’t been able to solve it. I was hoping that you can take a look when you’re free. By the way, aren’t Ysabelle and Felix back already? What else are you busy with over there?”
Since Felix has already been found, why isn’t Sophie back yet? Is she having that much fun in Fandar?
“See, I knew you had an agenda for calling me.”
Sophie knew all that talk about missing her was trash.
“How could you say that? Shouldn’t we exchange some pleasantries before diving into the main topic? It doesn’t seem too polite to go straight to the point, right?”
“Okay, okay. Just send me the details. However, I don’t have adequate resources here to conduct proper experiments, so I might not be of much help.”
Certain conditions had to be present in order to carry out a scientific study, and Sophie was not even equipped with the most basic setting.
“You can take a look at it first. I’m not in a rush. It’s for a research I’ve been conducting lately. If you’re not able to solve it there, we can wait for you to come back.”
Arius was aware that Fandar did not have the best research facilities.
“Okay. That’s all, right? Just send me whatever you have then.”
“That’s all. But when are you guys coming back? You’ve been gone for so long!”
“Why would I miss you? There’s so much work to do here at the medical association. You should come back soon to share Georgina’s workload!”
“You can help out if it pains you to see her working so hard. You’re more than capable of solving any issues that the medical association has.”
“You- Dr. Smith has appointed you as his successor! How could you push such a huge responsibility to Georgina? What kind of a friend are you!”
Sophie remained silent and did not even want to respond regarding this matter. She was only responsible for conducting experiments and wanted nothing to do with the management of the medical association.
After all, she was already busy enough.
“Okay, I’m hanging up now. Just come back as soon as you can. Dr. Smith has been asking about you a lot,” Arius finally said.
Everyone was worried about Sophie, as Fandar was a dangerous place to be in.
“Shouldn’t you guys know me very well by now? What kind of danger could I possibly be in? Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. By the way, how are Simon and Winter doing? Do you think they have potential?”
“They’re doing fine. Let’s observe them for a little while longer. They’ve shown great improvement, but I think we should give it more time.”
Entering the medical association was not an easy feat, as the organization only accepted top talents.
“Sure. Since I’m not around, please look out for them. Don’t let others bully them.” As they were recruited by Sophie, she did not want them to be taken advantage of by others.
“Don’t worry! Your friends are my friends too. I treat them really well! Besides, I’m swamped with work recently. They can help me with it.”
With me guiding them, they would have no problem passing the evaluation.
After Sophie hung up, she saw Tristan coming out as well. With him around, no problem would be too difficult to solve.
The current plan was for Bertram to lead a team of men to settle the problem. If he was unable to resolve the issue, the two of them would step in and help.
“Who were you talking to?”
“It’s Arius. He has encountered some problems and needs my help.” Sophie received a message from Arius right after their call ended. After checking the details, she could see that it was indeed a novel problem that required some time to solve.
“Okay. We will be heading back in a few days.” Tristan was worried about leaving Bertram there alone.
Thus, he planned to return after taking care of the matters in Fandar.
