Chapter 568: Disguise (Part 2)

Saleen had been vexing over this matter, but with Lex's help, all these troubles would be solved inherently.

Saleen also knew that Lex had said such words in front his close subordinates to convince them, and both parties would stand a chance of enjoying long term cooperation.
