Everyone in the banquet hall was stunned.


    The music abruptly stopped. The soprano singer emitted a piercing dolphin sound before copsing in terror. The violin strings snapped mysteriously, adding to the chaos. Everyone''s eyes were on Theo-or rather, the puppet that looked like Theo.


    Rn''s ability allowed him to control the puppet through the true energy he released. Knowing that someone intended to harm Nash and his friends, the Florentine brothers decided to help. They worked overnight to create a lifelike puppet of Theo. It was nearly indistinguishable from the real person.


    However, Rn had cautioned against high-frequency sound waves as they could interfere with the puppet''s control.


    Unfortunately, the opening act was an operatic performance and symphony, precisely the kind of sound that could cause problems.


    The unexpected happened. The Theo puppet copsed, its head detaching from its body.


    The sight caused panic among the guests. Then, after a brief silence, they erupted in screams.


    "Ah!"


    "Help!"


    "Assassin!"


    "Help Mr. Skye! Call an ambnce!"


    loan''s voice suddenly cut through the chaos, "Everyone! Calm down! Just look at Mr. Skye! Something''s wrong!"


    The guests paused, their eyes shifting to the fallen Theo puppet beneath the seat.


    Upon seeing the mechanical parts inside, they realized that the Theo before them was not human but a puppet. Some brave shareholders even touched the puppet''s head, confirming loan''s words.


    loan then stepped forward, addressing Nash, "Sir, I believe everyone here deserves an exnation. Why would Mr. Skye resort to such a deceitful trick to fool the shareholders?" Seeing that the situation could not be concealed any longer, Nash decided to reveal their secret investigation. "Since this gentleman insists, I''ll tell all of you what''s going on. "Mr. Skye suspects that there''s a mole within thepany!"


    This statement shocked everyone, and even the shareholders began to murmur among themselves.


    Nash continued, "Moreover, the mole is among you!"


    After hearing Nash''s words, the shareholders looked at Nash with disdain.


    loanughed and said, "You must be


    joking. We have significant


    investments and ties to this


    Many shareholders nodded in agreement. They had invested their entire fortunes in Theo''s enterprises. If thepany failed, they would lose everything, making them the least likely to be moles.


    Nash remained calm. He sat in his chair as he continued, "Oh? Is that so? Then let me tell you something else. Yesterday, Mr. Skye was followed and attacked. What do you think about that?" loan quickly retorted, "If you me us for every problem thepany''s president encounters... Isn''t that more absurd?"
