“What?”
As expected, Karl was equally shocked. “Why do you want me to look into her all of a sudden? Does
Mr. Hayes know something?”
“I guess so. He wants you to figure how that woman fell.”
The bodyguard truthfully told Karl what he heard from Sebastian.
Only then Karl understood the situation.
After Jocelyn got into the accident, Janice stopped visiting the Oceanic Estate. When he tried looking
for her, everyone said she fell while looking for Jocelyn.
Then, he stopped checking.
No one in the Oceanic Estate paid attention to it, including Jonathan.
However, now that Sebastian knew about it, what does it say?
It was straightforward. When someone wants to hide something, she would typically be jumpier.
As she would be scared and worried, she would constantly try to prove her innocence, thinking it was
safer with more people learning about it.
Yet, she failed to realize that it would create more doubts too.
Besides, she was foolish enough to make it known to Sasha, who was with Sebastian, one of the men
with the highest IQ in Jadeborough.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe realization made Karl livid.
“That bit*h! I will expose her secrets, then come back to chat with you,” he huffed.
“Oh, why are you with Mr. Hayes? I thought you were transferred to the research institute when he
disbanded SteelFort. Why are you out again?” Before they ended the call, Karl curiously asked.
By then, Xayden no longer wanted to talk to him.
With a stoic expression, he did not hesitate to end the call. Therefore, he did not hear Karl’s nagging,
telling him not to fight as it did not suit him.
After all, who would take a researcher from an assassin organization out without reason? Even
Frederick would not do that.
Yet, Sebastian did it.
They had been in the air for about three hours when they finally looked down to see a cold and barren
desert with little huts.
“Mr. Hayes, we have arrived,” Xayden informed him after seeing where they were.
Sebastian nodded in acknowledgement.
It did not take long for the helicopter to land on a bright red landing pad. After the helicopter blades
came to a stop, Sebastian got off. A middle-aged man dressed in local clothing was there to greet
them. He wore a bright smile on his face.
“Mr. Hayes, you are here. Thank you for making a trip here.”
“It’s okay.”
Sebastian exchanged a simple greeting.
By then, his bodyguard had climbed out from the helicopter too. While he passed Sebastian his laptop,
he also passed the man a black fountain pen.
Sebastian raised his brows in confusion.
“Mr. Hayes, this is not an ordinary fountain pen. It acts as a protection for you. It holds the power of
about five kilograms of gun powder,” his bodyguard explained.
For the first time, he was speechless. He looked between the pen and the man, unsure of what to say.
“Xayden, what have you been doing at the research institute over the last two years? Did they make
you create such things?”
“No.”
Xayden immediately lowered his head.
“They ordered me to produce medicine, and these weapons are my own secret projects because I
knew you would return, Mr. Hayes. Therefore, I did not slack off in my two years there. I have created
various new deadly weapons and poisons. My latest creation of a small-sized bomb can take down a
whole building.” Excitedly, he took out a golden ball and raised it in front of Sebastian. “Look! I brought
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmit with me.”
Instantly, Sebastian was taken aback.
Subconsciously, he stepped backward and kicked a stone from the ground in the direction of the new
creation.
What the hell is that?
When he fought Charles years ago, he thought hard of ways to save the bunch of talented individuals
from SteelFort and finally decided to send them away.
He wanted them to shine in the places they went.
Yet, this man was still creating weapons and poisons, where one was so deadly that it could take down
a building.
Sebastian was rather frustrated and felt like killing him.
However, at that moment, the middleman turned around. “Mr. Hayes, you mentioned that you wanted to
disguise yourself as one of our employees. If so, would you both mind changing out of your clothes?”
Giving his bodyguard a stern glare, he pointed at the golden ball in his hands before being whisked
away to change.
Xayden felt like he was put in the spot.
Regardless, he obediently kept the deadly weapon before following his boss.
He was not old and was close to Lance’s age. As they looked similar to Lance, Sebastian locked Lance
up Lance and let Xayden take his place.
