After a moment of thought, Gracie sent a video to Mister on the other end.
The video was very short, but it had captured the key figure clearly.
"[Black Valkyrie] Esnie. She's one of yours, isn't she?"
Gracie paused before asking:
"She lay in ambush for our people and stole the Nathen Conglomerate's chip."
Mister frowned and said:

He stopped midsentence. As though something had occurred to him, Mister's expression darkened:
"Wait, I think she works for Jonas Wetting..."
"So you admit the Wetting Conglomerate did this?"
"No, I certainly don't acknowledge Jonas Wetting as one of us."
At those words, Mister's expression grew even uglier, and he said sharply:
"I can guarantee that the Wetting Conglomerate's board of directors had no involvement in this."
"But you can't deny that Jonas Wetting ambushed our people."
Gracie gave a cold laugh and said:
"Doesn't the Wetting Conglomerate owe us an explanation?"

"We'll force him to surrender the chip and hand it over to you..."
He stopped midsentence again, then took a deep breath and Mister said:
"But the Levi Conglomerate must compensate us for the sanctions and work with the Wetting Conglomerate to research the chip."

And judging by the situation, the Wetting Conglomerate and Jonas Wetting didn't seem to be on the same side... Rather than an heir, Jonas Wetting seemed more like a rival.
Still, Gracie didn't dwell on the matter. He had achieved his goal, and
