The other technologies can all be secured directly through patent applications. But applying on their website isn’t as simple as it sounds. The first condition for observing the entire site is a direct payment of one million Federal coins into a certain account before the application form can be filled out. Of course, the form varies for journalists. The million Federal coins are nothing for those who could afford a car worth 1.2 billion Federal coins. Needless to say, Finn Lewis doesn’t ask for this money for nothing.
Once you’ve seen it, if you don’t buy it, you can choose to get a refund. Finn would refund it, and these people could easily find out who owns the Goddess of Light car factory, so posing as Finn to cheat them out of a million seems improbable.
While arranging for the debut of his car in his home, Finn was waiting for Kay Lee to return. Owen Things had already found another football star to replace Elias, who had been long forgotten and wanted to apologize to Finn. But could he find Finn?
However, Finn didn’t expect to receive a surprising call. “Mr. Lewis?” from an unknown number. Olivia Thatcher hadn’t told Finn who it was, so Finn promptly answered the call. Just as he picked up, he heard a crisp feminine voice, apparently a very young voice.
“It’s me, but who are you?” Finn asked, surprised by this voice.
“My name is Sophia Worthington, I’m calling for your help.” The woman’s voice on the phone was somewhat tense. Finn was stunned for a moment. He was sure he didn’t recognize the name; she wasn’t someone he knew, but she obviously knew his name.
“Who are you?” Finn arched an eyebrow.
“Mr. Lewis, you may not know me, but do you remember a woman named ‘Butterfly’? Her real name is Harriet Park.” Sophia Worthington quickly responded.
“Oh! I do remember, what’s the matter?” As soon as Harriet Park was mentioned, Finn immediately understood. He surely remembered the woman known as ‘Butterfly’. These were the first physical memories he had of the sort of thieves that were featured in movies. The impression had been deep. He seemed to recall having left them his number at the time, but he hadn’t expected to receive a call from them now.
“Mr. Lewis, I hope you can save us.” Sophia’s tone was sincere.
“Save you? What happened to you guys?” Finn arched his eyebrow again.
“We’re being hunted down. ‘Butterfly’ is severely injured and if she doesn’t get medical treatment within the next 12 hours, I’m afraid she’ll be beyond help. My other teammate is also injured. I’m currently being chased by a man. Mr. Lewis, please, I beg you, save them. I’m sending you their location right now.” Sophia spoke quickly.
“Don’t turn off your cell phone.” Finn quickly thought that these few women, including Sophia, were people he had been interested in from the start. They were also people he had asked Olivia to investigate. These women haven’t committed any evil deeds, and their skills also piqued his curiosity. People like this were certainly helpful to have around.
Of course, getting involved with such people wouldn’t bring anything good, especially seeing as Finn didn’t have any need for them at his current status. Whatever they were capable of, he believed his t1000 could do better and definitely safer. The most important factor was that they had an extensive criminal record. If they were caught, being associated with them would bring no benefits to Finn.
However, people like that had their uses and would be helpful at times after all. What interested Finn most was the fact that they held a considerable amount of Bryski Miller’s information. Despite the fact that Bryski Miller hadn’t bothered with David recently, he believed Bryski Miller wouldn’t just call it quits. Him not causing trouble now was because doing so would be like signing his own death warrant.
If there was a chance, Finn strongly believed they wouldn’t let it go.
“Can Olivia track her location?” Finn asked directly.
“I’m already tracking her location. Her phone is encrypted, but it’s okay, I’ve tracked her down. She’s currently in the suburban area of Yinchuan city.” Olivia quickly provided a detailed location.
“Hang in there for a bit. I’ll send someone to pick you up soon. Also, give me the addresses of the other two.” Finn told Sophia on the phone. After she quickly provided an address, he hung up. Finn then turned to ask Olivia, “Can you pull up live footage of the scene?”
“There are no surveillance cameras near her location. I can’t pull up any footage. I can only pay for it. It’ll take about three minutes.” Olivia quickly responded.
“Pay for it.” This type of thing wouldn’t cost much, so Finn didn’t mind the expense. He made up his mind straightforwardly.
A couple of minutes later, Finn saw the HD footage of the scene. From the video, this place seemed to be a suburb in Yinchuan city. The video pinpointed Sophia and another man— a casually dressed man who was chasing Sophia.
“This guy looks familiar?” Finn asked curiously, looking at the man’s face.
“This is the captain of the Blood Blade Special Forces who arrived first on the scene when we sold 10 modified F119 engines.” Olivia quickly pulled up the man’s identity.
Finn immediately realized what was going on, “That’s Kevin Worthington, right?”
“Yes.”
“How did the two of them meet?” Finn asked curiously. Kevin Worthington’s attire didn’t look like he was out on a mission.
“Based on my reconstruction of the scene data, I can only say that she’s unlucky. Kevin Worthington was probably on his way home from his holiday when he ran into Sophia. Mr. Lewis, you should understand, people like Kevin Worthington are always on high alert. While Sophia’s behavior might seem normal to ordinary people, to Kevin Worthington, it seemed suspicious enough to question.” Olivia explained.
Finn was speechless. How unlucky could she be to encounter a special forces captain in her most desperate moment?
Sophia was on the shorter side, but she was fast. She was practically going mad at this point. Just as Olivia had calculated, Sophia, along with Butterfly and the others, had been on the run from chasers. Sophia was a skilled operative, but she tended to take on more technical tasks. After Butterfly and White Rose were injured, Sophia managed to escape with them despite the great difficulties.
