In the car, Artemis received a text message from Zeke: The man who Tucker sent to Pandera to capture 'Archie' has already arrived. I believe it would be better to let 'Archie' fall into Tucker's hands. That way, he'll completely burn his bridges with Sofie.

After reading the message, he handed the phone to Bailey. “Zeke wants us to watch in safety while others fight. What do you think?”

Bailey's eyes flickered with a hint of regret. “That young man is truly talented. If we could recruit him, he'd be a valuable asset to us. But if Tucker gets hold of him, there won't be anything left of him. It's a real shame for someone like him to meet such a downfall.”

After a moment of contemplation, Artemis proposed, “If you're hesitant, let's hurry and arrive before Tucker's men. We'll protect him.”

A hint of hesitation flashed across Bailey's eyes.

After a moment of silence, she shook her head and said, “Zeke is correct. We need 'Archie' to end up in Tucker's hands to provoke a conflict between him and Sofie. We released Sofie with the intention of turning her against Philp and his son, didn't we? If her son doesn't die in Tucker's hands, how can we ignite their confrontation?”

Actually, Sofie would have already arrived in Pandera by now.

Nevertheless, they got Raymond to deploy the power of the Hoffman family to delay her arrival.

Ultimately, if her son fell into the hands of Tucker, she would naturally assume that it was Tucker who had been obstructing her all along.

Their motive was to incite a confrontation between Sofie and Philip, along with his son, hoping to witness them turning against each other.

This chance to escalate the conflict was too significant to pass up, so she couldn't possibly let it slip away.

“Let's do this. Since Tucker's men are here to capture the kid, let's leave it to him.”

Artemis raised his eyebrows, his expression a mix of amusement and seriousness as he said, “And here I thought you had taken a liking to that pretty boy. On the way here, I've been pondering how to kill that kid. If you said you'd protect him, I will definitely pepper him with bullets.”

Bailey couldn't help but roll her eyes.

What a green-eyed monster.

“Do you think Tucker's men can capture that kid?”

Artemis gave a faint smile. “If he fails, we can lend a helping hand.”

With a sigh of resignation, Bailey wondered if he would stop being this evil.

After a moment of silence, she inquired once more, “Earlier, you mentioned that Archie might have acquired access to the Hoffman family's top secrets. If he ends up with Tucker, wouldn't these crucial secrets then be in the hands of Philip and his son? What if they both spill these secrets when they were in danger? Won't the Hoffman family be ruined directly?”

Artemis looked at her with a smile, raising an eyebrow. “Isn't it better if the Hoffman family is ruined? Your apprentice's dream of becoming a queen will be shattered, and Zeke can also get the beauty he desires. It's a win-win situation.”

She had to admit that his words made sense.

In the IT department of Insterstellar Tower, an office door swung open at the end of the corridor.

A young woman in a professional suit strode briskly to the desk.

“Mr. Archie, you can't stay here any longer. You must leave immediately. I've received news that the man sent by Mr. Tucker to capture you have already arrived in Pandera.”

Sitting behind the curved office desk, a young man was rapidly typing on the keyboard.

“I know. I'm currently duplicating the confidential documents. Give me another thirty minutes. You can go ahead and arrange the private jet, and I'll be there shortly.”

The female bodyguard pursed her lips, gritting her teeth as she spoke. “Ms. Carr just contacted me. She's currently being restrained by the Hoffman family's special agents and can't escape. We need to leave immediately as per strict orders. We can retrieve those confidential documents later. Right now, your safety is the top priority.”

Archie paid no attention to her, focusing solely on the task at hand.

At that moment, the sound of a siren suddenly echoed from outside the building.

The female bodyguard swiftly approached the floor-to-ceiling window, noticing the caution tape already strung up below. Her eyes suddenly darkened.

“Mr. Archie, the staff have been forbidden from entering and exiting the lower floors. It appears that Mr. Tucker has mobilized the security department to cooperate. If we don't leave now, we won't have the chance to.”

“D*mn it,” the young man muttered a curse under his breath as he forcefully terminated the data output. After removing the flash drive from the computer, he initiated the formatting process.

With a casual toss, he handed the flash drive to the female bodyguard, speaking lightly. “I can't leave now because Bailey is here. She'll assist Tucker in capturing me. Pass this flash drive to my mother and inform her that it contains the secrets of the Hoffman family. If she can use it wisely, she'll undoubtedly gain control of the entire core industrial chain within the Hoffman family. It's the only thing I can do for her. And she need not worry about whether I live or die.”

After uttering those words, the young man casually retrieved his coat from the chair and nonchalantly left.

As the female bodyguard prepared to follow, she was suddenly halted by a dart shot by him.

Observing his determined figure walking away, she glanced at the flash drive in her hand and eventually made her way toward the windowsill.

Since she couldn't protect him, she could only safeguard the flash drive he had fought so hard to obtain.

As soon as Archie stepped out of the office, a group of people in black clothes approached him head-on.
