Mute Girl The Series : Rose Thorns 16 015

After Nick's phone call early morning, Noah was busy flipping through a stack of brown envelopes in his study room. He had pending work relating to his new political party establishment and needed to start processing the potential candidates for the positions in his party. His targets were from multiple backgrounds comprised of academicians, businessmen, activists and etc. Noah already had in mind of what kind of his party's structure model but selecting the best people for the positions was the problem. One wrong selection could destroy the whole party considering his party had just been newly founded and on top of that, his party would go against the longest-established and giant party in the West City. He needed the right people among the best for his party.

Among those candidates, Noah had these four people in his top list and the first one was Martin Douglas who had Master in Public Policy from Winter Academy, William O'Ryan's junior. He intentionally chose Martin as one of his direct attacks on O'Ryan to shake his foe's confidence by recruiting the enemy's people in his party. This was a very risky move but it would bring a great return to the party if Noah could fully maximise this person's potential without losing control over this person.

Next, Harold Blair was exceptionally absorbed from the Military Academy to strategise the party's defence tactics using the military mindset to demotivate the opponent's force. Considering that the government party had been supported by the residents for many years, the best way to fight this battle was through consistent effective attacks planning.

Then, Noah targeted Casey Hugh, the Vice President of Aurora Organisation, a non-government organisation that have the largest number of members across the West City that fought against any kind of injustice. Aurora had been publicly targeting the government' officers for abusing their power. Naturally, Noah wanted to take advantage of this sentiment to his party's benefits and since Aurora had many dedicated members, this would fasten the growth of his party's support if he managed to bring Casey in.

Lastly, Ethan Graham was the number one pick businessman because of his family relations.h.i.+p with the Chairman of Aries Group, the compet.i.tor of Scorpion Group. Ethan was the second grandson in Graham family that ran his own business independently from his great family influence. From Noah's personal experiences, those who had chosen the independent pathways were more highly regarded in the family and would rank in the top priority to be next successor of the family business. So having him on board would put indirectly pressure on Scorpion Group and hence slowly reduce the O'Ryan's backing.

His next move was to persuade all these targets to be part of his party's Council Committee. These positions would determine the direction of the party as they would be involved in the party's decision makings which were a great deal to offer to these four candidates to be part of the committee.

It took him roughly a day to shortlist these four people. The day almost came to its end as the clock hour was about to pa.s.s twelve and yet, his awaiting guest hadn't come. Realising this, Noah was dumbfounded seeing himself being stood up by the woman who begged for his help desperately but then ended up broking the promise. Did O'Ryan already make their move on her? Or she decided to run away at the last minute?

"Get me her current location." He commanded his trusted a.s.sistant through a message a few minutes before midnight came and as usual, Oscar obediently carried out the order. His focus now s.h.i.+fted to the doc.u.ments he received from Nick relating to the adoption matter.

Ring! Ring! In less than 5 minutes, Oscar returned his message with a phone call.

"Boss, she's admitted to the general hospital after being found bleeding at the abandoned Little Paradise Home yesterday by her late mother's close friend, Susan, a retired writer. Now, she's still unconscious."

"The cause of the bleeding?"

"The police found a metal rod at the scene."

"She was. .h.i.t?"

"Pure accident. The orphanage hadn't been maintained for the past years. High possibility of the metal rod fell from the ceiling due to its poor condition and coincidentally hit her head. The police were waiting for her to wake up to conclude the case."

"Monitor her closely. Let me know when she wakes up."

Soon after the call, Noah browsed the search engine online and looked for more information about the Little Paradise Home. The orphanage had been closed for almost ten years and the owner of that land was a private individual. That orphanage wasn't run by the regional administration of North West Land but with the aid of the local community there. This probably was the main factor of its permanent closure. They stopped accepting children two years before the year it was closed down and all the existing children were sent to a registered orphanage in South West Land. It was the Eagle's Nest Orphan Home, a regional-owned centre that was generous enough to support a huge intake of orphans in one go approximately 35 to 40 children.

This transfer arose Noah's suspicion. It was an extremely rare case for a government welfare centre to allow a high jump of operating costs in a year. Usually, the children would be distributed to different orphanages to control the flow of public expenditures. Noah then directed his search to the Eagle's Nest Orphan Home and apparently the princ.i.p.al there was a low-key figure in the underground world. Someone from the dark side of the society worked as a government officer? It was bizarre to stumble upon this info. Only those who had well connections in the underground world recognised this person so not many people knew him. 'Anthony Smith'
