Chapter 181 - Food Corp. International

"Hey D, have you heard. Miss J got into an accident." Stefan said on the other line of a one-way communicating device.

"Mm." Daniel's reply was short. He already heard about it from Stefan.

"Luckily she only sustained small cuts and bruises. I've heard that last year a race car driver died in a crash during practice. Did you know that overall there have been over 600 deaths for race car drivers all over the world? And most deaths happened during qualifying and practice. I've heard that Miss J's team have the most advanced safety technology, so it must've contributed a lot that's why she only sustained minor injuries but still the main cause of her accident is she loses control of her speed. Tsk... Based on the information that I gather Miss J is known to have the best control over the steering wheel. She is probably not in her condition today." Felix was blabbering too much when Daniel noticed from the monitor a black luxury car approaching the hotel's valet.

"The subject is here," Daniel said that made Felix stop from his blabbering.

"Oh... Okay. Let the game begin!" Daniel heard Felix' enthusiastic voice.

On one of the monitors, Daniel is watching a valet attendant wearing a white long sleeve with a black vest and a black bow tie and a black peaked cap approached the black luxury car's driver's side. From the driver side, a man in his late 30's came out wearing an emerald green suit paired with black pants, black bow tie, and black Oxford shoes.

The man looks elegant and royal. He is David Hart, the CEO and President of Food Corp. International. The son of the Chairman and Founding Owner of Food Corp. International. On the other side of the car came out a sophisticated lady wearing an emerald green off-shoulder mermaid gown. She is Melanie Hart, the wife of David Hart.

Food Corp International is a multinational company based in Lotus City that owned multiple fast-food chains. Currently, they have a total of more than 4,000 stores worldwide. It was founded by Larry Hart over 40 years ago and his family currently holds 28% of its shares. J is the second-biggest shareholder of the company with 22%.

The couple walked inside the hotel while the valet attendant took the car in the valet parking. As soon as the car is parked, Daniel heard Felix said, "The bug is in position."

Apparently, the valet attendant was Felix. He pretended to be a valet attendant to be able to get inside the car of David Hart to plant a bug. It is a miniature radio transmitter with a microphone, a device that is used for espionage. After securing the bug is under the driver's seat, Felix went to were Daniel and his Ford Transit is parked.
