Chapter 1300
Nonetheless, Mr. Quartus didn’t mind, now that Mr. Nine had shown his true colors in front of him, indicating that they were about to be in the same boat.
With this thought, Mr. Quartus tapped the ashtray gently with his cigarette butt. “The final round, until he’s safe”
He was referring to Robin’s safe departure, not hers.
The fingers Mr. Nine had on the table hesitated for a few seconds, then moved again
“Can you grant me access to the surveillance of the player room?”
Behind the scenes, the invitees couldn’t access the player room’s surveillance at any time. Only at the start of the game could they see it in the viewing area, it was
off at other times.
“The programmer who took the fall for you today has been killed by 1-2.”
The implication was refusal. Mr. Nine understood and didn’t speak again.
Mr. Quartus tossed his cigarette into the ashtray and removed the mask from his head.
He threw off the heavy mask, lit another cigarette, and in front of Mr. Nine, took a deep puff.
“I’ll protect that woman too, don’t mess with my program again.”
He didn’t want to involve innocent programmers again.
Mr. Nine’s stern eyes softened slightly. “Thank you.”
Mr. Quartus exhaled a puff of smoke, watching Mr. Nine through the fog.
“What’s your relationship with that woman?”
The moment M. Nine saw the woman on the monitor, he immediately stood up to hack the program. Clearly, she was an important person in his life.
Otherwise, with Mr. Nine’s cold nature, he wouldn’t have done such a reckless thing.
In response to Mr. Quartus’ question, Mr. Nine remained silent, his indifferent eyes revealing a profound depth.
Mr. Quartus, with a cigarette in his mouth, stared at his eyes and sneered, “You’re stubborn even when you need a favor.””
Mr. Nine’s thick eyelashes slowly drooped, covering the dark circles under his eyes.
“I can’t leave, and I can’t die, I’ll do whatever you want, just don’t ask about my personal affairs.”
Since Mr. Quartus was obviously going to take advantage of him, he naturally wouldn’t pry any further. “All you need to tell me is if she’s Vanya Pine’s daughter.”
“You knew that all along, didn’t you? That’s why you helped her.”
Mr. Quartus had known all along. He caught a glimpse of her face on the deserted island.
“You knew, and yet you brought them in. That’s not right.” Mr. Nine said.
Faced with Mr. Nine’s complaint, Mr. Quartus smirked. “You’re new here. What do you know?”

The readers' comments on the novel: A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)
Loved the story, many times caught in so much actually crying with the situation. Wish had more chapters to a better ending....
It's weird that the story went from narrative to slang use. Good story so far though...
