GoodNovelChapter 1346 What Exactly Are You Doing? "He's likely preoccupied," Victor explained. "Illegal border crossing requires constant vigilance, especially when Walter Perez is handling his extraction." "You may not be familiar with the Perez family," he continued. "They operate discreetly within government- sanctioned boundaries-never crossing lines and occasionally handling official matters that require... flexibility. They maintain a low profile by design. Walter, the current patriarch, is physically frail but ruthlessly efficient. During Raymond's recent destructive episode, he intercepted shipments belonging to both the White and Perez families, making enemies of Walter and Nathan alike." "Would Walter harm him?" Anxiety edged her voice.
"No, I've already spoken with him. Walter may be unstable, but he honors his commitments. Raymond might face sverbal barbs, nothing more." Selena exhaled with relief. "Dr. Barnes, I truly appreciate everything you've done." "Raymond is my friend. This is nothing extraordinary," he replied flatly, eyes fixed on the road ahead.

"Do you know anyone in Vistalia?" Victor inquired. "If not, you're welcto stay at my place until Raymond returns." "Thank you, I'd appreciate that." The thought of being recaptured by K terrified her. Victor represented safety, and she couldn't return to Silver Bay City anyway. Vistalia was her only option while waiting for Raymond.
Victor pulled up before a house in the city center. "There are staff and security inside. Take my phone to maintain contact with Raymond. Letknow when you connect with him and wish to leave. I have no interest in prying into your circumstances." Her impression of Victor improved further. She'd encountered him numerous times before but had always found his cold, clinical demeanor somewhat unapproachable.
"Will you be staying here tonight as well?" she asked.
Victor's gaze settled on her face, a slight smile forming. "I returned to Vistalia on business. Mr. Smith entrustedwith something I've yet to complete, so I need to meet with him. I'm uncertain if I'll return tonight. The villa has ample rooms-even if I return, we won't disturb each other." Lost in the world of this story? Make sure you're on Ñe5sto catch every twist and turn.

"Your 'little games' typically leave participants emotionally devastated, stripped of their will to survive. She's our future leader, for God's sake."
"I won't push her to the point of suicidal despair. Consider this part of her training." "Victor, when Barbara entrusted sted you with preparing the next generation, she showed remarkable wisdom. No one suits the role better than you you're certainly capable of the necessary cruelty. But those eyes of hers-resilient, pure, intelligent I'd hate to see them filled with despair."
"Someone unwilling to sacrifice anything will achieve nothing," Victor NOV stated coldly. "Regardless of her m being Barbara's daughter, if she proves inadequate, I'll eliminate her myself."
The old man's eyes met Victor's in the rearview mirror. "Sometimes h wonder how you maintain such cold rationality, such complete emotional detachment." Victor remained silent, continuing to drive with practiced precision.
