Chapter 756: Chapter 477: So the Mastermind Behind the Scenes Is You (Part 1)_3

Nora Scott raised an eyebrow, "They’re looking for me."

"Not Robert Durant’s people?"

"No." Nora replied confidently, "It has nothing to do with Robert Durant. If Robert Durant’s people were really looking for me, then they must have the same goal from different paths."

Humphrey Jennings frowned.

Their discussion yielded no results, so they let it go.

At three in the afternoon, Nora Scott drove to Biel Security.

This was her third visit, and the treatment was noticeably better. At least on the fourth floor, those previously hostile, wary, and skeptical eyes were nowhere to be found.

"Hall Master!"

Rosie Sullivan arrived a step earlier, standing at the office door waving at her.

Nora Scott walked straight over.

This time she was here because of next month’s "meeting of all Biel Hall elders."

Invitations had been sent out, delivered to each elder’s hands, but the feedback Nora Scott received was—none of the elders took her seriously.

There’s a sense of wanting to give her a hard time at the meeting.

Nora Scott accepted the challenge.

Now with some free time, Nora Scott was here to delve into their backgrounds.

"Biel Hall has a total of seven elders, two of whom are over seventy years old and have slowly withdrawn, leaving affairs to their juniors to manage."

Rosie Sullivan held a stack of documents, explaining the situation of the seven elders to Nora Scott in detail.

All seven elders, the youngest over fifty, belonged to the stubborn old school, set in their ways and particularly difficult. Among them, only Elder Zhang remained neutral when electing the new Hall Master; the others strongly opposed Nora Scott becoming the new Hall Master.

As for Elder Zhang, it was out of respect for the previous Hall Master.

Preliminary estimates suggest that when it comes to major issues like "changing Hall rules," Elder Zhang won’t agree either.

This means Nora Scott needs to deal with these seven people at the September meeting.

—Perhaps also the people they bring.

It took nearly half an hour for Rosie Sullivan to clearly outline each elder’s personality, style, duties, and powers to Nora Scott. As she finished and looked up, she found Nora Scott resting her cheek on one hand, half-drooping her eyes, seemingly sleepy.

"Hall Master?"

Rosie Sullivan called out to her.

Only then did Nora Scott raise her eyelids, "Finished?"

Rosie Sullivan: "..." Yes, she finished talking, but you seem to have listened to none of it.

Nora Scott rubbed her brow, leaned back in the chair, and said slowly, "Try to collect their weaknesses over the next month."

"This is rather..." Rosie Sullivan hesitated.

Just this wouldn’t be enough.

Nora Scott said calmly, "Start collecting."

She had nearly a thousand cases of forcing people to do things, handling a few outdated stubborn ones was no problem.

She had Rosie Sullivan put down the documents to review later, at least to deepen the impression. —It wouldn’t look good if she mixed up the names at the time.

"Hall Master!"

Amy Mansfield knocked on the office door.

Nora Scott looked up.

Amy Mansfield got straight to the point, "There’s a commission that needs your attention."

"Huh?"

Nora Scott tilted her head.

Given her status as Hall Master, no commission should require her presence... unless Boss Alex was scheming against her.

"It has something to do with the former Hall Master," Amy Mansfield said, "And today the client is here, brother... Barton Mansfield heard you’re here, so he hopes you can attend as well."

"Oh."

Upon hearing ’former Hall Master’, Nora Scott couldn’t refuse.

She agreed, stood up, and, while leaving the office, took Rosie Sullivan along.

The three of them went to the fourth-floor reception room, and by the time they arrived, two people were already waiting inside. One was Barton Mansfield, and the other was—

With a glance, Nora Scott was a bit surprised.

The other party was also a bit surprised, carefully examining Nora Scott before asking, "You’re here for business too?"

She glanced over Camilo Nogueira. This chap hadn’t known when discharged from the hospital, probably not fully healed, but dressed in shirt and trousers, concealing his injuries thoroughly, still appearing courteous and polite, quite the embodiment of a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Nora Scott asked, "Are you the client?"

"Yes."

Camilo Nogueira nodded slightly.

"Hall Master." Barton Mansfield stood up to greet Nora Scott and then slightly puzzled, asked, "You know each other?"

Nora Scott casually replied, "Friends."

"Hall Master?"

Camilo Nogueira nearly choked on his tea, his hand shook, spilling tea on it, and frowned at the heat.

He looked up, and his eyes on Nora Scott instantly changed.
