The Shelter Game: Me, Starting with a Tenfold Drop Rate
Chapter 130 - 130: The Betrayer That Cannot Be Defended Against

At the entrance of Ocean Group headquarters, Benjamin led the special assault team in forming an impermeable defensive formation.

Any enemy trying to break through the special assault team's defense would pay a heavy price.

"Who are you? Do you know where you are? If you don't want trouble, leave immediately!"

Benjamin, hiding behind the defensive formation, shouted through a megaphone at the unidentified figures in the distance.

Benjamin was certain that his words could be heard by the unidentified figures.

However, those figures neither answered Benjamin's questions nor disappeared from his line of sight.

This situation made Benjamin slightly uneasy.

"You two, go scout it out! See what's over there!"

Benjamin ordered two members of the special assault team to investigate the direction of the figures.

After the two team members left, Benjamin and the rest of the special assault team kept a close watch on them. If those scouts encountered any danger, they would quickly provide covering fire.

When the two team members reached the location of the unidentified figures, they were surprised to find that there was nothing there.

What they had seen earlier seemed to be some sort of illusion.

One of the special assault team members turned around and waved toward Benjamin.

This gesture meant that they had found nothing at that location.

Benjamin felt even more puzzled.

"They found nothing! So what were those unidentified figures we saw? I couldn't have been mistaken! Even if it was an illusion, I should have been able to tell!"

Benjamin was very confident in his [Far Sight] skill.

In Benjamin's view, even in the shelter game, those monsters adept at hiding couldn't escape his sight. It was even less likely for someone to escape his sight in the real world.

Faced with this situation, Benjamin furrowed his brow in thought.

In an instant, something occurred to Benjamin.

He quickly turned to the assault team member next to him and asked, "Before you came here, what was the manager doing?"

The manager Benjamin referred to was, of course, the head of security.

The team member's expression showed slight confusion.

"Captain, I didn't see the manager before coming here. Wasn't he with you?"

Upon hearing this response, Benjamin realized that something was terribly wrong.

Before arriving at the entrance of Ocean Group to stand guard, he had not seen the security manager at all. The manager had claimed he was discussing defensive strategies with the other assault team members.

"This is bad! We need to get back and defend the headquarters immediately!"

Benjamin suddenly realized that the security manager might be a traitor. The manager had previously worked very closely with Joseph.

Their collaboration was very secretive. Almost no one within the group knew about it except Benjamin. And Benjamin had forgotten to share this crucial information with Vicky.

Benjamin's reaction caused the special assault team members to panic.

They didn't understand why their captain would say such things out of the blue. However, the assault team members had great trust in Benjamin as their leader.

Since Benjamin ordered them to return to defend the headquarters, they did not hesitate.

Led by Benjamin, the special assault team members rushed back to Ocean Group's headquarters as quickly as possible. But when they tried to enter the building, they found it had already been sealed off.

"I knew this would happen! An internal traitor is truly impossible to guard against!"

Benjamin tried every method he could think of, but none could break the seal on the Ocean Group headquarters. He couldn't help but share his frustration with the other team members.

"We must get this information to the others as soon as possible, especially those responsible for the former chairman's security!"

Even in a crisis, Benjamin managed to stay calm.

Since the Ocean Group headquarters had been sealed off by the traitor, it was likely that the new president, Vicky, had already met with misfortune inside.

Given the situation, Benjamin knew he had to prioritize Donald's safety.

While Benjamin was taking action, at the top floor of the Ocean Group headquarters, in the president's office, Vicky was staring coldly at Joseph, who had suddenly appeared.

"My dear niece, you shouldn't be surprised by my appearance. I told you before that I would reclaim everything that belongs to me.

Ocean Group doesn't belong to you; it belongs to me! You have no right to be the president of Ocean Group, and you certainly don't have the capability to handle its affairs."

At this moment, a smile appeared on Joseph's face.

He felt that victory was within his grasp. Even if the Night Blades couldn't secure a complete victory today, he could ensure that Vicky would be killed.

To him, as long as Vicky was dead, Donald would have no choice but to hand over Ocean Group to him. No matter how reluctant Donald was, he couldn't give Ocean Group to other members of the Tang family.

After all, the other members of the Tang family were not closely related to Donald by blood.

Beside Joseph, the security manager and two members of the Night Blades were also staring intently at Vicky. They knew that Vicky was qualified to play the shelter game.

That meant Vicky also had some life-saving skills.

Moreover, they knew that Vicky had a very close relationship with Irving. It's possible that Irving had provided Vicky with some very valuable weapons.

Their guess was partly correct.

Irving had indeed given Vicky some very valuable weapons. However, the weapons provided by Irving did not make Vicky exceptionally combat-capable.

After all, Vicky was a healer. No matter how powerful her weapons were, they couldn't make up for the inherent limitations of her profession.

Facing the arrogant Joseph, Vicky appeared to be very angry on the surface. But in reality, she remained calm.

Vicky knew she had to buy enough time for Irving to have a chance to rescue her.

So, after hearing Joseph's words, Vicky replied calmly, "Uncle, I think you've misunderstood Grandfather's resolve. At the Benevolent Sanatorium, Grandfather had already stripped you of your inheritance rights.

Even if you kill me, Grandfather won't hand Ocean Group over to you. He's more likely to give Ocean Group to someone else, even to my distant cousin.

Uncle, you should remember clearly that my distant cousin is also very capable in business management. He could easily replace you to control the entire Ocean Group."

Vicky's words wiped the smile off Joseph's face.

What Vicky said was indeed true, and it was something Joseph had always been worried about. That's why Joseph had to cut off communication between Donald and the others.

"Do you really think Father would give Ocean Group to an outsider? No matter what, I am still his son! No matter what, my blood relationship with him is the closest!"

Joseph had always given the impression that he would do anything, no matter how unscrupulous, to control Ocean Group.

But deep down, Joseph always wanted to earn the recognition of his father, Donald.

Vicky's words directly enraged Joseph. He roared at Vicky in fury.

Although Vicky's expression remained serious, she felt her plan had achieved some success.

Joseph was not only angered by what Vicky had said. In fact, Vicky had just used her newly acquired mental influence skill to secretly affect Joseph.

This made Joseph more prone to anger.

Having successfully infuriated Joseph, he would now be unable to think calmly. This meant Vicky could continue to stall for time.

Just when Vicky thought her plan had succeeded, a member of the Night Blades pushed the door open and walked in.

"Mr. Joseph, stop wasting time. We are here to help you reclaim Ocean Group. Kill her now, and you can ensure your control over Ocean Group. So why hesitate?"

Hearing these words, Joseph's expression finally calmed down.

"I almost fell for your trick. You were trying to delay by angering me, weren't you? You think I'll keep arguing with you?"

Once he regained his composure, Joseph immediately saw through Vicky's plan.

"Although I've never liked you, and you've always been my biggest rival, I must admit you are indeed my niece and quite cunning."

After saying this, Joseph waved his hand dismissively.

He didn't intend to waste any more words with Vicky. He decided to leave Ocean Group's headquarters and head straight to Donald's residence.

After all, to control Ocean Group, Joseph not only had to kill Vicky but also his own father. Only then could he become the undisputed heir of Ocean Group.

As he reached the door, Joseph left Vicky with one last remark: "You would have been better off marrying into the Taylor family as I arranged. At least they could have offered you some help in this situation.

Where is your boyfriend Irving now? Do you think he can save you? He can't even ensure his own safety."

Mentioning Irving finally broke Vicky's facade of calm.

Vicky directly questioned Joseph: "What have you done to Irving?! No matter what schemes you employ, you can't defeat him!"

Joseph did not answer Vicky's question and quickly walked out of the president's office.

The three people remaining in the office had sinister smiles on their faces.

The security manager spoke directly to Vicky: "President Vicky, since you are about to leave this world, could you perhaps make one last contribution before you go?"

As he said this, a sly grin spread across the security manager's face.

Vicky knew very well that the security manager and the two Night Blades members had nefarious intentions toward her.
