“Should we investigate how this information got leaked?" Alick suggested. He senses that something was not right with the way things had developed.

“Camila has been away for a long time. How did she even manage to get a contact within Hammaslahti?"

His words triggered a memory, and Isaac recalled that Camila went and saw Josiah that day.

That meet-up probably had to do with the research results.

“Find Josiah and bring him to me."

Isaac's voice was low, and carried a hint of danger.

“I'LL have someone bring him here right away.”

They would spare no expense or effort at this point.

"And find out how Camila and her colleagues left the building." Surely, they couldn't have disappeared without a single trace.

“Of course." Alick Left to do what he was tasked.

Isaac then dismissed the others from the room. The waitress gathered the money in her arms and exited last.

Isaac sat by himself at the table, his expression dire.

Without him noticing, his hands had balled into fists.

He had no idea what Camila had come here to do, in the first place.

He thought that she was just here for the symposium.

Now that things had come to this, Isaac deeply regretted ever helping to materialize the event.

Because of him, Azmar had been elected as the venue, and Camila was compelled to steal top secret documents and risk stowing them back home.

And now, she was in danger.

If the higher-ups knew that she was the one who had leaked the data, she would undoubtedly be punished.

He knew it for sure, because the experts here in Azmar would have done the same thing.

Isaac took a deep breath. He really couldn't do much at the moment, except to establish the ins and outs of this whole affair as soon as possible. Only then could he plan his next course of action, and go and save Camila.

Soon enough, Josiah was brought into the room by Alick's subordinates. Alick himself had gone to Hammaslahti to find out who had published the thesis.

Josiah was oblivious to it all, so he was quite miffed about being accosted yet again.

“What do you want now, Isaac?"

Isaac cast a cold glance at him and went straight to the point. "Did Camila give you something when you last saw each other?"
