Chapter 557

“Boss, things have gone wrong,” Janus, his right-hand man abroad, whispered over the phone.

“We are unlikely to supply the next batch of goods.” With that, Janus, who was on the other end of the phone,

turned the camera around so that Jared could see what was going on at the scene.

Jared’s face darkened as he saw the deep explosion crater.

“Fortunately, none of our men were injured. They all evacuated in time, but the entire mine collapsed. Our months

of hard work have gone down the drain,” Janus said.

Jared looked at the scene on the screen, squinting, his eyes icy as a glacier. ‘Once I find out which bastard did this, I

will not spare him!’

Looking at the smoke and dust shown on the screen, Jared said in an icy voice, “Who did it?”

Janus frowned and repeated the name of the suspect. “I suspect that they have been planning this for a long time.

They only launched the attack after being sure that you are indeed no longer in Mecrounia. It was done covertly; I

could find no evidence.” Jared sneered. “They’ve indeed planned for this a long time ago. Come back to see me

right away.” He pressed a button to end the call. Max looked at Jared’s grave expression, thought of what he had

said just now, and frowned. “Boss, do you want us to go with you?” Jared shook his head, his fingers gently tapping

on the table as he said slowly, “Castor is coming back; you stay here and keep an eye on him; ask Claus to monitor

Michael, and report to me immediately if something happens.” Max nodded, knowing that Castor Johnston, Jared’s

elder brother, was not a nice sort; Jared really needed to be prepared in advance.

Just as he still wanted to say something, Jared stood up and walked out. Max then heard him say in a frosty voice,

“Get ready the car. Go back to the Johnston Mansion.”

Along the way, Jared’s expression was not looking good as he seemed to have a lot of things going on in his head.

He had put the Rogers family in its place, but Shawn and Christo were too quiet lately. They were no longer a threat

to him, but they could still pose a threat to the Riddle family. So he figured he needed to think of a way to keep

Nicole safe when he was away. Max did not disturb Jared. The black vehicle sped down the highway and before

long, they arrived at the Johnston Mansion from the headquarters of the JJ Johnston Group.

Glancing at the facade of the mansion’s front gate, Max opened the car door for Jared and said

respectfully, “We’ve arrived, boss.”

Jared got out of the car and walked through the gate of the Johnston Mansion. Unbeknownst to Jared, Gary was

sitting in his café, seemingly in a daze. This time, he had brought a laptop with him, constantly analyzing the

slightest signal he had intercepted in the school’s security room. He watched his computer keep changing from blue

to white screens with an anxious look in his eyes.

Claus was bored and playing with a cup at the bar counter. When he saw Gary’s expression, he approached him

with curiosity. ‘Why is his laptop screen flashing so weirdly? Could it be broken?’ Claus thought to himself and

glanced at Gary.

“If your laptop is broken, you can ask Nicole to fix it for you, but I’m not sure if she is willing to help.” Gary had been

very impatient with Claus, hating this waiter whom he deemed to be talking too much. But upon hearing the second

half of his sentence, Gary’s hand holding the mouse froze. “What did you say?” he asked.
