Chapter 79: line with translation of chapter title

October 27.

United States.

District of Columbia, Washington.

The White House, Capitol Building, National Cathedral, American University and other landmark buildings are all located in this prosperous capital of the United States.

At night, Washington's lights shine brilliantly, the roads are congested, and the sidewalks are also crowded with tourists from all countries.

The places where tourists gather most are the Washington Monument Plaza and the Lincoln Memorial, etc.

Not far north of the area where these landmark buildings are concentrated, about two kilometers away, is the area where wealthy businessmen, officials, and generals reside.

The apartments, houses, and hotels here are luxurious, and in terms of security, this is the most stable area in the entire district.

After all, those living here are dignitaries from the military, political, and business circles of the United States.

The central area of this region.

Washington Hilton Hotel.

19:21.

The outdoor pool area beside the Hilton Hotel.

Soothing music plays here, soft lighting provides illumination, and around the pool are long tables covered with white cloth, laden with various delicacies.

Waiters in white shirts, black vests, and red ties carry trays through the crowd, providing drinks and desserts to guests enjoying the party.

Male guests wear high-end suits or military uniforms, representing their respective distinguished statuses.

And the beautiful, graceful female guests in various gowns directly elevate the tone of this gathering in appearance.

Those invited to the party also include Ailongsi, as well as his 'assistant'.

Ailongsi wears a loose gray suit, nothing remarkable, but the 'touch of red' following behind him becomes the focal point of the entire gathering.

The crimson backless evening gown accentuates an almost perfect figure, with delicate features, black short female hair, giving a unique Eastern beauty.

Only Aida, who has undergone Umbrella's brainwashing surgery, can be associated with such attire.

Regardless of gender, people can't help but direct their gaze toward Aida.

Men admire, women envy.

Politicians, generals, and wealthy businessmen, accustomed to European and American women, are instantly brightened when Aida appears.

If the current trend continues until mid-November, Ailongsi will be able to be sworn in as the new governor, which is also why Ailongsi can bring Aida to such an occasion.

Soon, when Umbrella conducts actions to control and reduce abnormal phenomena on American soil, Ailongsi will be able to provide many conveniences.

However, there are still some 'small' problems.

This time Aida has come precisely to resolve this problem.

At this moment, as Ailongsi passed a waiter, he casually took a glass of champagne.

Aida did the same.

Afterward, the two walked slowly toward the area where military leaders and officers gathered, arriving beside a middle-aged man in a suit.

"Good evening, Minister Ken, long time no see." Ailongsi raised his glass in greeting.

"Hehe, good evening." Minister Ken replied with a smile.

"Ding~." The glasses clinked.

After the two similarly aged individuals drank some wine, they began to converse.

The officers surrounding them tactfully left one after another, and finally only Aida remained here to eavesdrop on the casual chat of the two dignitaries.

Minister Ken.

His full name is Weilian Ken, currently serving as the United States Secretary of Defense, a member of the Republican Party.

This Weilian Ken, whose conduct still retains some military bearing, has behind him the Ken family and the Ken Group under its umbrella.

The Ken Group is involved in aerospace, biopharmaceuticals, finance and trade, transportation, strategic communications and information, etc., and is one of the giants among many conglomerates in the United States.

Facing Ailongsi, Ken is not unfamiliar.

Through eight months of preparation by the White Queen, Ailongsi has become an important partner of the Ken Group.

Ailongsi's ability to reach his current position is inseparable from the Ken Group's assistance, and the friendship between Weilian Ken and Ailongsi is also not bad.

However, today Ken is somewhat absent-minded, because Aida, standing behind Ailongsi, is gazing at him with a faint smile, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, as if saying…

She is very interested in herself.

This makes the slightly intoxicated Ken feel an irrepressible agitation inside and out.

Ailongsi, who had been observing Ken's microexpressions, naturally noticed this, and then proceeded to introduce Aida to Ken:

"Minister, this is my assistant, Kaili Yang."

"You... hello, Minister, I am truly honored to finally meet you in person."

Aida then stepped forward, slightly flustered, raising her glass in a gesture.

"Hello, Miss Yang."

Although Ken was somewhat absent-minded, he still courteously clinked glasses with Aida in greeting.

While Aida lightly sipped her champagne, Ailongsi continued to 'assist,' saying: "Minister, this assistant of mine truly admires you; she insisted on coming to the party just to meet you."

"Oh? Is that so?" Ken was somewhat surprised.

"That's right." Ailongsi showed an expression of being tired of hearing it, saying: "She says it's precisely because of you, Minister, that the current relationship between the Democratic and Republican parties is so harmonious, making you a great politician."

"And a philanthropist..." At this moment, Aida added, feigning shyness:

"Yes, yes, and philanthropy, haha." Ailongsi laughed.

Having said that, Ailongsi likewise tactfully left, saying: "Well then, Minister, you and my assistant can chat first; I'll go talk with a New York senator about the project."

Without waiting for Ken and Aida to respond, Ailongsi weaved left and right, disappearing into the crowd.

And when Aida saw Ailongsi leave, she became even more flustered, saying: "Minister, actually I don't really like such occasions; how about we…"

Can we talk privately?

…

Late that night.

A presidential suite at the Hilton Hotel.

"Hoo—hah!" The earth‑shaking snore reverberated throughout the room.

Keen, still not fully undressed, lay sound asleep on the queen‑sized bed.

Standing by the bed was Ada, fully clothed and with a cold, striking appearance.

At this moment, Ada no longer had that delicate, bird‑like demeanor she had just shown.

Keen ended up like this because he drank the liquor Ada had laced with drugs.

It was over before it even began.

"Huh." Ada glanced at Keen, then began her work.

First she took off Keen's clothes, then pulled a "lipstick" from her messenger bag.

She twisted off the protective cap, poured out the liquid inside the "lipstick", and sprayed it onto the center of the bed and onto Keen, who had been undressed.

Having stowed the container disguised as lipstick, Ada then took out an extremely small "block" from her bag and installed it into the metal buckle on Keen's waistband.

Having done all this, Ada patiently waited until the early morning.

05:36

Ada deliberately sprayed some strong perfume, then wrote a note with the hotel‑provided pen and paper, finally leaving a lip print on the paper.

She then left the suite without looking back, leaving William Keen alone, lost in his sweet dreams.
