Chapter 436
“I’m here at Northern District’s headquarters. One of your men is here, and I’m planning to get him promoted,” Andrew spoke into the phone.
“Of course, I’ll be there in five minutes. Wait for me,” Natasha replied urgently.
As Andrew hung up, Jake shook his head. “Sir, this act isn’t funny anymore. Don’t tell me you actually have Madam Vostokoff’s number?”
“Of course I do,” Andrew replied simply. “How else could I call her?”
Jake did not bother responding and headed downstairs to hand out flyers, hoping to sell the abandoned building soon and get his promotion. He dismissed the supposed lunatic upstairs, remembering how he had only seen Natasha once since joining West End.
Regular people never got close to someone of Natasha’s status, let alone have her private number–unless this guy was her boy toy, he thought cynically.
Minutes later, a convertible sports car screeched to a halt in front of the building. Jake, clutching a stack of flyers, stared in disbelief at the beautiful woman stepping out.
He rubbed his eyes and looked again, confirming that it really was Natasha, West End’s leader, the infamous Black Widow, and the underground world’s dream woman.
“Madam Vostokoff, w–what brings you here?” Jake stammered, trying to curry favor.

Andrew instantly realized she was putting on a show for Lauren’s benefit–she was never this formal with him normally.
Nonetheless, he did not call her out on it. Instead, he pointed to the dumbfounded Jake behind. them. “This young man works for you, right?”
Natasha beckoned, and Jake hurried over. She barked, “Show some respect and greet Mr. Lloyd!
Jake trembled, staring at Andrew. “So y–you really do know Madam Vostokoff?”
Andrew smiled. “I told you I wasn’t lying. Now, about that information I was asking about earlier?”

Jake nodded frantically. “Of course, I’ll tell you everything right away! Please forgive my prévious disrespect, Mr. Lloyd! I was blind!”
Andrew waved his hand, gesturing for Jake to get to the point. “Just as you said, Mr. Lloyd, everything fell apart when Mr. Giordano died. I was on guard duty that night and saw people setting fires as soon as news of his death spread. Several groups rushed in to loot the place, but Mr. Mayer’s people were the strongest–they broke into Atlas‘ bedroom and office and took everything.”
“Tell me about Mr. Mayer,” Andrew prompted calmly.
