BXBX NOVEL Chapter 110: Meet Lisa
It contained rice, fried chicken, and boiled and fried vegetables.
What caught David\'s attention the most was the red sauce that didn\'t seem to be blended, but crushed in the traditional way so that the ingredients were visible.
It was made up of deep-fried red and green chilies, deep-fried shallots and nipple onions, as well as many other spices.
The aroma was quite strong, refreshing and made David even hungrier.
It seemed that the sauce was the centerpiece of the meal.
"Please eat," Mery said to David.
She started eating as soon as she said that, cutting up the fried chicken on her plate, then smearing the sauce onto the chicken before combining it with the rice and putting the rice into her mouth.
Her face instantly showed a bright light, looking like she really liked what she was eating.
David copied all her actions, and when he finally started eating, he finally realized why Mery\'s expression was like that.
The sauce was really very delicious, giving different kinds of flavors to his tongue in addition to the spicy taste that was actually comfortable in the mouth.
"It\'s delicious, isn\'t it?" said Mery with a soft laugh.
"They put in a lot of spices that I\'ve never tasted," David replied.
"Of course, you know that in the past Europeans came to this region just for the spices," Mery replied.
"Now I understand why the Europeans back then were so crazy about the spices in this region," David said.
"Can you believe that what you\'re eating is just a simple menu?" asked Mery. "Unfortunately it\'s early in the morning, the vendors only sell dishes that are not too heavy, so we have to wait until midday for dishes with more spices."
Usually, David only had about one plate for breakfast, but today, he had more than two.
He was so full that he had trouble standing up.
It had been a long time since he had eaten this much.
Mery laughed softly as she watched him walk to the car.
Not long after, they left the area.
Mery ordered Victor to go to the place where Lisa was staying.
The information about the problems that had arisen in this country had come from Lisa, so they needed to meet her to find out.
Right now, the woman was in a large hotel that was right in front of a large roundabout.
It was a luxury hotel where the people going in and out looked very elite.
Victor stopped in front of the sidewalk that joined the hotel\'s courtyard.
After that, David and Mery got out of the car, and immediately entered the hotel.
When they arrived at the hotel lobby, they immediately saw Lisa sitting behind a table with several people in professional dress.
They all seemed to be having a discussion.
When Lisa saw David, she asked him to come closer with a hand signal.
After that, she invited David and Mery to sit at another table.
She herself moved to that table.
"Lisa, what happened?" David asked her.
Given that Lisa also possessed spiritual powers, David found it hard to believe that she needed additional help.
David suspected that the enemy was also a Spiritual Being because if the enemy was just an ordinary human, the problem should only be related to bureaucracy. If it was a matter of bureaucracy, David would not have needed to come. After all, he wouldn\'t have been able to help either.
"Someone had gotten information about the app, and now they were forcing an investment into the company Pramono had created. Even though Pramono didn\'t receive the money, almost eighty percent of the company\'s shares have changed names." Lisa explained, making David roll his eyes.
Given that Pramono did not receive the money, he should not have signed any contracts. However, the company\'s shares had already changed names.
This wasn\'t ridiculous, but it showed how dilapidated the country\'s system was.
The rulers seem to be able to claim other people\'s assets as they please.
They just need to change the name of the owner in a system that is essentially controlled by them.
"Who is the mastermind behind all this?" David asked again, wanting to know the single most powerful person orchestrating this conspiracy.
"The richest and most influential big boss in the country so he can even command the President," Lisa replied. "He\'s the one who owns the shares. Although he\'s old, he seems to be very confident that the app will be a success. He doesn\'t think conservatively."
"He must be Aceng," said Mery suddenly, apparently guessing who it was.
"Is that his name?" David asked her.
"No, it\'s just his title, I forgot what his name is. People call him Aceng more often. He\'s an old man who doesn\'t know his limits, keeps wanting more and more wealth. The man who was almost matched with me is his grandson." Mery explained.
David showed a strange expression after hearing her explanation.
"So, is this Aceng so powerful that you can\'t take care of him?" David then asked Lisa.
He thought that even if Aceng was that powerful, he was still just a small fish in a small pond.
And there was no way his power could envelop the whole country even if he could give orders to the President.
He should only be the strongest, but that doesn\'t mean he controls everything.
Some of the rich people in this country should be able to fight against him if they formed an alliance.
David thought that way because Jane had said that there was no single ruler in this region like the Rothschild Family in Europe.
Basically, it was impossible to become a sole ruler without spiritual power no matter how much money you had.
Why was Lisa who was basically representing Jane unable to do anything to him?
"The problem is actually not that big," Lisa replied.
"Then?" Lisa\'s answer practically only confused David more.
Even Mery seemed to have become confused.
She clearly couldn\'t predict this matter now.
"Aceng is a very influential person in this country, and he is quite familiar with some people in the Rothschild Family, they have a lot of business cooperation," Lisa replied.
"You know, there\'s also rivalry in that family. To be honest, I and others had met Aceng in Europe. If he saw us, he would definitely be scared, but at the same time he would definitely inform someone in that family that there is a group of people from that family who want to invest on their own behalf into a very potential application.
When that family finds out, they will definitely do everything they can to stop us from investing into the app on behalf of their family.
"So far, Aceng has naturally not told the app to his friends from the Rothschild Family because he wants to own it himself. If it was you who came to confront him, he wouldn\'t think this had anything to do with the Rothschild Family. He will continue to keep this a secret from them and focus on defeating you.
"Of course, you must defeat the old man quickly and try to control him. After that, our investment will definitely go smoothly."
David finally understood after hearing Lisa\'s explanation.
However, he still felt something was wrong.
"Isn\'t that still something you can do?" he asked. "I mean you can attack the old man suddenly so that he is completely helpless and unable to send any information to the Rothschild Family."
"Yeah, that\'s only if the plan goes completely smoothly, but we can\'t be sure of that even if Aceng isn\'t the owner of Spiritual Power. Besides, here we need to divide the tasks. If you do this mission, I can focus on taking care of this investment.
If this mission is also done by me, and in the scenario my plan succeeds with a single action, it will still interfere with the investment I need to take care of. You know, Aceng needs to be kept under surveillance after being subdued. Unfortunately, here only I am a Spiritual Being, the others are not." Lisa calmly replied.
"Okay, okay!" David finally nodded with a quiet laugh.
It turned out that the crux of the problem was that they lacked a Spiritual Being so they needed to add another one and it had to be extremely powerful.
Lisa and Jane were probably already convinced that David\'s strength had increased drastically.
"The old man is over there!" Lisa then pointed at a skyscraper not far from the hotel.
It was a very tall building, probably more than 500 meters tall.
If the building was entirely office, the old man\'s business was practically huge.
"Are we going there now?" David asked Mery.
"If that\'s what you want, I\'ll help you, of course," Mery replied.
After that, David and Mery left the hotel.
However, this time they did not return to Victor\'s car. They chose to walk.
In this city center, the sidewalks were a little nicer, at least they weren\'t filled with street vendors, so there was no problem walking on the sidewalks.
