A man opened the door and saw them. He pretended to ask curiously, "Who are you guys?" "Is Jeremiah here?" Michael asked. "Who's Jeremiah? We don't have any Jeremiah here. Did you get the wrong location?" Yvan had been standing at the side. When he heard that, he pushed the door open forcefully. He entered and examined anything that might give him clues on Jeremiah. In the living room, the gamers looked terrified when they saw a stranger barging in. "Hey, who the hell are you? Can't you tell that we're playing games now?" the man said impatiently. Yvan ignored his words. Instead, he carefully inspected every corner. He only noticed something was off when he looked outside and down the window. The next second, he rushed out of the unit. He told Gabriel, "Ask them everything." After that, he went downstairs. On the other hand, Jeremiah escaped from the apartment safely. He even managed to hide from Yvan's team in the cars. Driving his motorcycle, he headed toward Cornsv
Calm and composed, Jeremiah looked at Yvan, who had a stern look on his face. After listening to what Nathaniel said, he didn't feel as anxious about the current situation anymore. "Mr. Jenkins, I didn't expect us to meet at such a place." "We would've met if there wasn't any accident just now," Yvan said coldly. Jeremiah still grinned widely. "Mr. Jenkins, we shouldn't care so much about the process. Isn't it good enough for us to be sitting here in the end?" Yvan's understanding of Jeremiah was all based on the information on his laptop. He didn't care about Jeremiah's personality and went straight into the main topic. "Yuna hired you to travel here, didn't she?" "Sorry, I can't answer that question." "Alright then, I'll make you and your team of hackers, whom you hired at a high price, disappear in Bardington before nine tonight." Yvan threatened him with a firm tone. Hearing that, Jeremiah let out a cough politely. He said with a smile, "Mr. Jenkins, we're not enemies
Carl had dinner with Yuna somewhere in Phoenix City. They talked about the investigation in Hultic as well. "Jacob rarely shows up. It's hard to find out if he's the one who's living in that villa. As for his personal assistant, we found that he shares a relationship with Jade." After that, he pulled his phone out and showed Yuna some pictures. "They're probably in a romantic relationship."Yuna frowned after seeing the pictures. She said, " Mr. Smith is the one who helped my dad to get the loan, and Jade is the girlfriend of Jacob's personal assistant. Is Mr. Smith actually Jacob Smith after all?" "It's hard to tell." "At least we know this has something to do with Jacob." "We could put it that way." Carl nodded. "That's why I sent some men over there just to find out who Jacob actually is. Then, we'd be able to solve some of your confusion soon." That made Yuna smile gratefully. "Thank you, Carl." "I don't want to hear that from you," Carl answered. "Alright, since w
Furious, Elizabeth arrived at the restaurant. But she was stopped by Carl's bodyguard at the door. "Ms. Wycliffe, are you here to see Mr. Edwards?" Elizabeth was so agitated by their action. "How dare you block my way!" Unfazed by her aggressiveness, the bodyguard said, "If you happen to come here for a meal, we won't stop you. But you don't seem to be here to eat. We're just making sure that Mr. Edwards can enjoy his meal in peace. Excuse us, Ms. Wycliffe." "You!" Pointing at the two of them, Elizabeth backed away. She couldn't be bothered to talk with them anymore. She told her bodyguards, "Get rid of them!" After that, the bodyguards behind her dashed forward. They started fighting Carl's bodyguards. Elizabeth took the chance to sneak inside. Seeing that, one of Carl's bodyguards quickly informed the other bodyguard inside the restaurant. The bodyguard inside had no choice but to enter the private room. With a tense look, he said, "Mr. Edwards, Ms. Wycliffe is here
Elizabeth glared at her resentfully. "That has nothing to do with you." "You're right. That's why I'm just offering you advice here," Yuna replied calmly. "So, you want to do things like this even if it would make Carl hate you, am I right?" When she heard Yuna's words, her eyes flew to Carl, who was standing at the side. He didn't even bother to spare her a glance. All of a sudden, she felt like backing off. Of course, she wanted Carl to like her instead of hating her. Yuna watched the change of expression on Elizabeth's face. She knew that Elizabeth had calmed down. She said, "Anybody would be mad if you simply barged into the room and pulled the tablecloth away. Besides, you know that Carl and I have had a few meals together. Why are you so upset this time?" Elizabeth became quiet for a moment. She then realized Yuna was trying to worm facts out of her. Again, she looked furious. "Don't be so full of yourself!" After that, she glanced at Carl with dissatisfaction bef
Yuna bid farewell to Carl at the door. Nathaniel saw it from upstairs. Natalie had fallen asleep. At that moment, he was wearing a jacket as he tiptoed his way out of the bedroom. He then made his way downstairs. Yuna took off her coat after entering the house. She went to the kitchen to pour herself a cup of water. When she came out of the kitchen, she saw her son sitting on the couch. Surprised, she asked, "Nathaniel, why aren't you asleep yet? Were you waiting for me?" Nathaniel said, "Yeah, I was waiting for Mommy." Placing her cup down, Yuna sat beside him. She held his head and planted a kiss on his forehead. "Is Natalie asleep?" "She fell asleep much earlier." Nathaniel sat down obediently. He asked, "Mommy, I saw that Uncle Carl sent you home." "You have sharp eyes." "Mommy, do you think Uncle Carl or Uncle Cedric is better?" Nathaniel compared them on purpose. "Or do you prefer Uncle Spencer?" Yuna found his words funny. "Why are you asking such a thing s
Gabriel, who was sitting by Lucian's side, was holding a laptop. He said patiently, "I heard that you're cold and decisive. But you seem pretty cheerful." Narrowing his eyes, Jeremiah glanced at Gabriel. "You're third on the Top Hackers list, aren't you?" Jeremiah replied genuinely, "Don't stare at me with such scary eyes. I lead quite a big team. It wouldn't be difficult to find out who is on the Top Hackers list. But it would take us some time and effort." Yvan looked away. Placing his elbows on his legs, he told Jeremiah, "I didn't call you over to talk about who are the hackers on the list. I want to put our clues together and discuss where Master Eastin is being hidden." Jeremiah nodded, signaling that they could discuss it now. Immediately, Gabriel placed a few pictures on the table. "According to our findings, the headquarters of the Black Crown Organization isn't in Flokstra. What they have here is just their main research center. "Based on their movements in Flokst
Gabriel spent a lot of time trying to figure it out. But as Jeremiah said, he couldn't break the code at all. His face grew serious. Seeing his reaction, Jeremiah said matter-of-factly, "I told you. You can't break it. But you don't have to be disheartened. I would've cracked the code long ago if it's possible." Gabriel furrowed his brow and didn't say a word. He was still trying to think of other ways to solve the problem. Seeing how serious he was, Yvan knew that Jeremiah wasn't joking. He persuaded, "Gabriel, take your time. Don't rush things." Gabriel grunted in response. But his hands didn't stop moving. He was still working on it. Jeremiah leaned back on the chair and stretched comfortably. "Are you guys trying to find the information of these men?" He was referring to those who went shopping and whose pictures were taken by Yvan and the rest by chance. "You couldn't find anything, could you? Perhaps you can check the morgue. They're probably lying in there alread
