Chapter 373 The Villain Lady Arrives 202

The next day, Alice summoned Tariq and Ryan and took them to her study. There was no expression on her face, and her eyes revealed unquestionable majesty.

"Listen carefully, both of you," Alice said. "I have already investigated clearly. The cause of this fight is just a small misunderstanding. As the elites of the organization, you should understand that the overall situation is more important. Don't affect the stability of the organization because of personal grudges."

Tariq and Ryan lowered their heads after hearing this. They knew that Alice had said so much and it was useless for them to argue any further.

"But," Alice changed the subject, "as punishment, you all need to make some contributions to the organization. Tariq, you will be responsible for the trade routes in the north and ensure the safety there; Ryan, you will go to the south to investigate the mysterious forces that have appeared recently and find out their purpose."

Tariq and Ryan were stunned when they heard this. They didn't expect Alice to give such a punishment, but they didn't dare to disobey her order.

"Yes, sir," they said in unison.

Alice looked at the two of them, respectful, and couldn't help but sneer in her heart. She knew that although the fight had subsided temporarily, the undercurrent was still surging, and she had to stay vigilant at all times to ensure the stability of the organization.

Tariq and Ryan each took orders and left. They both knew that this mission was not only a test for them, but also an opportunity for them to regain Alice's trust.

On the northern trade routes, Tariq demonstrated his outstanding leadership and combat skills, successfully resolving multiple pirate attacks and ensuring the safety of the trade routes. His performance satisfied Alice and also promoted his position in the organization.

In the south, Ryan encountered a greater challenge. He went deep into the hinterland of the mysterious forces, experienced many life-and-death tests, and finally found out their purpose - they were trying to subvert the organization's rule. Ryan reported this important intelligence to Alice in time, winning precious preparation time for the organization.

When Ryan returned to the headquarters after completing his mission, he was personally received by Alice, who had a rare smile on her face and a gleam of admiration in her eyes.

"Ryan, you did a great job," Alice said. "Your courage and wisdom make us all proud. I believe that you will become an important pillar of the organization in the days to come."

Ryan couldn't help but feel excited and proud when he heard this. He knew that this mission not only earned him Alice's trust, but also established his own prestige in the organization.

However, just as he was about to leave, Alice stopped him again. "Ryan, one more thing," she said, "Have you received any strange letters or messages recently?"

Ryan was startled, and he remembered the unsigned letter. But he knew that now was not the time to reveal all this. So he shook his head and said, "No, sir."

Alice looked at him, as if trying to read something from his eyes. But she finally nodded and said, "Okay, you go down. Remember, stay alert and don't let anything that threatens the organization happen."

Ryan bowed and left, but he was thinking about his next plan. He knew that although he had won Alice's trust, the fight was not really over. He had to continue looking for the mastermind behind the mysterious force to ensure his own safety and the stability of the organization.

After returning to his residence, Ryan sat at his desk and began to think carefully about everything that had happened recently. He knew that the mysterious force would never give up and would continue to plot more conspiracies. He had to be prepared in advance to deal with possible crises.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Ryan raised his head, a hint of vigilance flashed in his eyes. He walked to the door and gently opened it, only to see a man in a black robe standing outside.

"Who are you?" Ryan asked in a low voice.

The man in black robe smiled and said, "I am here to help you."

Ryan couldn't help but feel doubtful when he heard this. He didn't know the identity of this person or his intention, but his intuition told him that this person might be the ally he had been looking for.

"Come in." Ryan said, inviting the man in black robe in.

After the black-robed man sat down, he took off his hood, revealing a weathered and mysterious face. His eyes were deep and sharp, as if he could see into people's hearts.

"Lord Ryan," the man in black robes said, "I know you are looking for the mastermind behind that mysterious force. I can help you find them."

Ryan's heart was moved when he heard this. He looked at the confident look of the man in black robe and felt a surge of hope in his heart. But he also knew that this man was not a good person and he had to be careful in dealing with him.

"Why are you helping me?" Ryan asked.

The man in black robe smiled and said, "Because we have a common enemy. Moreover, I believe in your ability and wisdom. You will be the key to defeating that mysterious force."

Ryan couldn't help but feel a surge of pride and gratitude when he heard this. He knew that this person might be the ally he had been waiting for. So he nodded and said, "Okay, let's work together."

In the following days, Ryan and the black-robed man began to work closely together. They jointly planned a series of actions against the mysterious forces and successfully struck down their arrogance. In the process, Ryan also demonstrated his outstanding leadership and combat skills, winning the admiration and respect of the black-robed man.

However, just as they were about to launch the final attack, an unexpected news broke their plan. Alice suddenly announced that she would personally lead an elite team to the lair of the mysterious forces and completely eliminate them.

Ryan was shocked when he heard this. He knew that Alice's decision meant that he would lose the opportunity to directly participate in this battle. But he also understood that this was Alice's order and he had to obey.

So, he found the man in black robe and told him the news. When the man in black robe heard this, a trace of disappointment and worry flashed in his eyes. But he also knew that this was a fact that could not be changed. So, he patted Ryan on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, Ryan. I believe you will find an opportunity to prove your worth. Remember, no matter what happens, I will be by your side to support you."

Hearing this, Ryan felt a warm current in his heart. He knew that he was not alone. In this world full of dangers and opportunities, he had an ally and partner he could trust.

A few days later, Alice led the elite team to set off. Ryan stayed at the headquarters, responsible for handling daily affairs and coordinating the forces of all parties. He kept an eye on the battle situation ahead, looking forward to Alice's victory news.
