At night.
Luna and the director were discussing the best way to shoot the night scenes.
Jaden lay in a rocking chair in the second-floor living room, reading a book. The bookshelf beside him was filled with books, mostly in the fields of literature and art, agriculture and horticulture, business administration, and legal regulations. There were also a few comics and philosophy books.
Meanwhile, Athena sat in the guest room, searching online for news about Matthew.
The domestic follow-up reports on the massacre at the Graham Group's diamond mining site in Asnaoya were brief.
The general update mentioned that the country embassy in Asnaoya, along with company representatives, had met with local government officials. Together, they issued a statement condemning the illegal armed robbery of company property and the murder of its employees. They pledged to work together to bring the criminals to justice, support the families of the victims, and swiftly complete compensation.
Athena then searched foreign websites for more information but found that the case hadn't drawn much attention outside the country.
Next, she checked reports from Kerotia and Asnaoya-based sources.
She finally found more information.
The government of Asnaoya had officially declared the armed group responsible for the massacre to be rebels. The authorities called on the public to resist and capture the rebels.
One report mentioned that Matthew, the head of the Graham Group, had brought hundreds of thousands of dollars and traveled across Asnaoya's capital to compensate injured employees and the families of those killed.
Reportedly, aside from insurance payouts, the Graham Group provided 150 thousand dollars in compensation for each deceased employee, and the company fully covered the medical expenses of those injured. For employees disabled and unable to return to work, the company offered a one-time payment equivalent to 20 years' salary.
The compensation hit a record high in local history, causing a national uproar and dissipating local dissatisfaction with businesses.
At the same time, Matthew appeared on local television and social media, announcing that he would not return home until the murderers were brought to justice.
Local media hailed him as a hero.
However, there were also reports that the rebels had placed a bounty on his head, putting him in significant danger.
This was all the information Athena had found.
She could tell that Matthew was deliberately provoking the rebels, trying to lure them out.
It was very effective.
But it was also incredibly dangerous.
After some thought, she picked up her phone and called Matthew.
The time difference between Asnaoya and Kitmore City was six hours. Since it was still afternoon in Asnaoya, he shouldn't have been asleep yet.
However, his phone was turned off.
'Why does Matthew turn off his phone? Is it out of battery? Or is there a special situation forcing him to shut it off?' She pondered.
She sent him a message, but there was no reply.
"I hope nothing happened to Matthew," she muttered, tugging at her hair in frustration. "Otherwise, I'll have to fly my plane and sneak into Asnaoya to find him."
If Matthew knew she was thinking this, his heart would probably soar with joy.
But unfortunately, he didn't know.
He glanced at the shattered phone in his hand, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and tucked it into the backpack Athena had given him. He then pulled out his spare phone and called Louis.
