Samuel was stunned.
Morty knew about the Golden Bug?
"Don't mess with me!"
Anger was revealed in Samuel's voice. Even though Morty had a high social status and the two of them had been through a lot together, Samuel felt the irresistible wrath in his heart.
Morty was not an idiot. Of course he could sense Samuel's anger. However, he smiled and said, "What? You want to come to the Capital City to kill me?"
"Yeah, I can do that. You know, nothing can get in my way. I can go anywhere as I please."
Samuel was telling the truth.
Samuel used to be a confined beast, but now he was a wild horse without the reins. There was really nothing he was afraid of in the world.
Morty turned serious and said in a low voice, "I want to look into one guy. I can't let anyone know about it, so I need to use your man. We've known each other for so many years. Just do me a favor, will you?"
"Beg me."
Samuel suddenly got a good mood.
Morty would not easily beg anyone.
Others may not know him, but Samuel knew him very well.
Morty had always got his pride. Even if facing a close friend, he had never put aside his pride. After all, his identity was indeed noble. This would be the first time he begged for help.
Samuel was expecting Morty to hang up the phone out of anger, but instead, Morty replied very straightforwardly, "OK, I beg you. Could you please lend me your man?"
At this moment, Samuel was completely dumbfounded.
This was so not Morty.
Maybe the person he wanted to look into meant something to him.
Samuel knew Morty well. For so many years, Morty had never been close to anyone. He even remained distant with people who had been through life-and-death adversity with him.
He had his pride.
Also, in his position, he could obtain information about anyone.
As long as he made a phone call, there would be plenty of talented people offering to work for him. Samuel really wondered who would be the guy that Morty was trying to find. He set aside his identity and played it so low-key.
"A woman?"
"A man."
Samuel thought that Morty played it low-key because of a woman, but Morty's answer really surprised him.
"You are into men?"
"Damn you! I'm not a rabbit!"
Eventually, Morty failed to maintain his demeanor in the face of Samuel's weird thoughts.
Samuel chuckled, and the atmosphere was not intense anymore.
"Well, I am really curious. Who has the magic to make Mr. Morty so concerned and try to keep it from others?"
Samuel teased him. He meant it as a casual joke, but when Morty kept silent for a while, Samuel got confused.
"Mr. Morty?"
"I can tell you, but you have to keep this between you and me."
Morty sounded solemn.
Samuel also turned serious.
"You don't have to tell me. I'll call the man you want, but I'm not sure when he will contact you."
Samuel was just teasing Morty, but he didn't really want to know anything. He knew better than anyone that the man Morty wanted to find out wouldn't be ordinary.
Knowing too much wouldn't do him any good. Let alone getting involved in stuff of the Capital City. Samuel was not that stupid.
He trusted Morty, so he would ask Silver Fox to help him.
He would not get Lucas involved in it.
That child was too young. Getting involved in these stuff would be harmful to him.
Morty had no idea what Samuel was thinking. When he heard what Samuel said, he suddenly heaved a sigh of relief and then wore a smile on his face. He said, "I've changed my mind. You have to know about this."
"Mr. Morty, this joke isn't funny at all."
Samuel was shocked at Morty's quick change of mind.
Morty was always so willful.
Then Morty said nonchalantly, "It's about Nicole. Are you sure you don't want to hear it?"
Nicole was Samuel's weak spot. It really sounded tempting.
Seeing Nicole's puzzled face, Samuel covered the phone with his hand and then said to Nicole, "Why don't you go get me a cup of coffee? I'm a little thirsty."
Nicole knew that Samuel was trying to get her out of there.
She was okay with it. She didn't care at all if Samuel didn't want her to know something. She believed he could handle everything well.
"Alright. Just hurry up. The coffee won't taste good when it gets cold."
Nicole gave him a smile before turning around.
