Until When Should I Be?

25. Ardi started to show his claws

Tias and the other three people are currently having fun on top of Jamal's failure. They work together to find out what Jamal is going to do, after which they will act obstructively from all sides, making everything Jamal did end up in vain.

"Where did you get the leak of the kid's activities?"

"Unbelievably, we can even move a step ahead to block out everything that the child is doing."

"Don't let go of the informant. Pay whatever he asks, Tias!"

"We can help to provide the money needed to pay that person!"

Tias smiled happily. There was no doubt that the informant he paid was very trustworthy. The proof is that they can derail all the deals Jamal made with third parties.

"Let us meet that person as well?!"

Tias smiled obliquely. "It just so happens that he'll be here soon!"

"Well, I'm really looking forward to meeting the person who helped us,"

No need to wait for long, the sound of footsteps could be heard approaching. "May I join you, ladies and gentlemen?"

"You, right ...?" all revealed expressions of shock that could not be covered seeing who was coming. Of course except for Tias who had since put on a meaningful smile.

"Welcome, Ardi. Please sit!"

Ardi smiled as he nodded. "Thank you, madam. I'm sorry I joined you in the middle of what seemed important, like, conversation,"

"Thankfully, I guess I interrupted your warm conversation" Ardi said.

"Don't say ...?" one of Tias' colleagues pointed at Ardi with a look of disbelief.

"He is most loyal to the great master!" the others chimed in.

"Is this not a trap?" one of them showed his suspicion.

Ardi instead laughed lightly, he was not offended at all because of suspicion. "I am loyal to the payment I receive. But when I see an opportunity to get more, I certainly can not miss the opportunity, right?"

"Don't you see the results? We always manage to take a step ahead to close all the way for that dissident boy?!" tias crossed his arms.

"Why do you doubt the most reliable source of information we have today?" the woman glanced cynically. Upset with his partner who showed disbelief in Ardi. At the beginning he had doubts, but Tias did not show as clearly as his comrades.

"I'm sorry for them and please don't take it personally, Mr. Ardi."

"What's wrong, no problem. It's only natural that I'm in doubt because I've lived on Mr. Arman's side for a long time. But I just don't want to miss the opportunity Mr. Jamal made for me. I had to use the best opportunity I could to scoop up a lot of high-value resources.

"Really, right! A missed opportunity cannot be taken again. All that was left was regret for having missed out on what might have been obtained?!"

The atmosphere was again conducive, they believed because Tias seemed to trust Ardi so much. Isn't all the information provided by the man always right, so there's no way this man is leaking something very important if indeed he doesn't want to betray. Apparently wealth can make people forget the loyalty that he has always had. Or maybe since the first Ardi did not have loyalty as he said, his loyalty was only in favor of the payment he received.
