Nash suspected they wanted to use his hair for a DNA test and plucked some dozen strands from his
head before handing them to Melody. “Will these work?” he asked softly.
His great-grandfather owned 10% of thepany’s shares, to which neither his grandfather’s
generation nor his father’s generation had inherited. It had been several decades since then. They
would not let him inherit the shares so easily.
Melody smiled faintly and replied, “You can doubt the others, but you have to trust Fabian.”
“Is he also from the Young Family Vige?” Nash asked in surprise.
“The Hughes family have followed the Young family for 18 generations. My grandmother once said that
the Hughes family would go into decline the moment they were to separate themselves from the Young
family.
“When your great-grandfather went to Moliga to make a living, Fabian’s great-grandfather was the only
one who went with him. When your great-grandfather returned to the country after that, he then served
as a director of Universal Group until his death.
“Fabian’s grandfather inherited the shares and managed to increase them from 10% to 15% over the
course of 20 years. When the Young family started having troubles, however, the Hughes also started
to decline.
“They faced continuous misfortune. They kept selling the shares to support themselves, and by the
time Fabian inherited these shares, only 8% was left. He then sold another 3% in the recent years,
leaving behind only 5%.”
Melody’s lips curled into a faint smile, looking somewhat amused. Half of this information she had
obtained from her grandmother while the other half she had discovered for herself.
“He hopes to find someone from the Young family more than anyone else. Only by following the Young
family can the Hughes family’s fortunes be restored.
“So, he must have arranged for someone he trusts to verify your identity,” Melody said while looking at
Frankie, who was approaching them with a tray of tea.
“Ms. Stone, Mr. Calcraft, please have some tea,” Frankie said politely.
Melody handed Nash’s hair over to Frankie. “Mr. Calcraft’s hair.”
Frankie took the hair and went to a storage cab, retrieving a tray that contained a
disposable syringe and a nail clipper. “Might I also request Mr. Calcraft to provide some nail clippings
and blood to improve uracy?”
Nash clipped his nails obediently, then allowed Frankie to draw nearly ten milliliters of his blood.
“How long will the results take?” Nash asked.
“Since Mr. Hughes is personally bringing some of Mr. Young Senior’s blood and hair samples,
I reckon we’ll be done with the verification by tonight. We should have the results by tomorrow,” Frankie
exined.
“We wait to hear good news, then!” Melody replied with a slight smile.
“Mr. Jenkins, could you also help us find out why the woman we bumped into downstairs in the lobby is
here at Universal Group?” Nash asked politely.
“Yes, please wait a moment, Mr. Calcraft,” Frankie said.
He went over to his desk and powered on hisputer. After logging into a chat application, he
directed his message to the manager of the Security Department who was in the Jonford Universal
Group group chat.
He had him look through the surveince footage of when he was in the reception hall.
In less than five minutes, the security manager shared a photo of Frankie stopping briefly at the
elevator lobby downstairs in the group chat.
Frankie then directed his next message to all members of the group chat, asking, “Who received this
supplier just now?”
Justin (Business Department Manager): [I did. What’s wrong?]
Frankie asked him the reason, and Justin answered.
Frankie then looked at Nash and Melody. “Mr. Calcraft, the woman’s party wanted to sign a partnership
with Universal Group with their 7-nanometer chips. But due to pricing issues, the deal fell through.”

Nash nodded. “Thank you.”
Beside him, Melody smiled and asked, “Should we help her?”
Nash mulled it over for a moment before answering, “Let her be.”
The demands of a hugepany like Universal Group was definitely sky high. Drake Group’s huge
order had already overwhelmed Hera’s family. He was worried that Hera would not be able to handle it
if she were to sign a partnership with Universal Group too.
On the 180th floor of Moliga Universal Group, a seductive and alluring woman from Drakonia was in
one of the luxurious shareholder meeting rooms. She stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows, on a call.
“Fabian received a call this morning and immediately booked a ticket to Drakonia,” she said.”
“Did he bring anyone with him?” replied a voice from the other end. The voice was transmitted through
some machine processing, obscuring their gender.
The seductive woman whispered, “He brought six stage-nine great grandmasters from the foundation
with him as bodyguards.”
There was silence on the other end for about ten seconds before the voice asked confusedly, ” Fabian
grew up in Universal Group. What’s he doing in Drakonia?”
A sly smile yed at the corner of the seductive woman’s lips. “Who cares? Just get rid of him!
