“Not yet. They were putting it on hold.”
“Get approved. The Don family had contributed so much to the country. It’s alright to let him retire earlier. Get Morty to choose two other people to replace Xander and Audrey. Also, get him to in-charge there.”
Aron decided on it as he stopped writing.
The old housekeeper promised to comply with Aron’s command. Then, he asked, “What about Mr. Mark’s position?”
“Get Morty to decide on it.”
Aron decided to let Morty in-charged in the Don family’s matters.
The housekeeper nodded and exited the room.
After the housekeeper got out of the room, he saw Morty, who purposely waited for him, in the corridor.
The housekeeper greeted Morty politely, “Mr. Morty.”
“Uncle Kenny, did my father look for you?”
“Yes, he needed me to do something for him.”
The housekeeper looked down. It was hard to tell if he was telling the truth.
Morty glanced at him and asked, “Did he give me any instructions?”
“Yes, Mr. Hill told me to get you in charge of the Don family’s matters.”
“Anything else?”
“No.”
Morty stared at the housekeeper coldly. He was smiling, but it wasn’t a sincere smile.
“Uncle Kenny, you’ve been working with my father since a long time ago, and you didn’t even want to go home after your retirement, but instead, you stayed and became our housekeeper. Should I say that you loved the power your job gave you, or should I suspect you to have some hidden agenda?”
Morty stared at Kenny.
Kenny wasn’t young anymore, so he knew the game pretty well. Of course, Kenny’s expressions were well-concealed.
Kenny replied calmly as usual, “You can think whatever you like to think.”
Morty was frustrated as he didn’t get the answer he wanted, but he smiled and left without saying anything further.
Kenny left the corridor after Morty as well.
Morty hid in the dark and said softly, “Follow him and see where he’s heading.”
“Sure!”
A dark figure left the place where Morty was hiding and headed to Kenny’s direction instead.
After a while, the person replied to Morty that Kenny went to see Blair, and Blair brought a medical kit to a high-security prison with Kenny.
Morty frowned.
Blair worked for him, so Morty wasn’t worried that Blair would do anything that betrayed him. However, he wasn’t sure why Kenny brought Blair to a high-security prison. Was somebody dying in there?
Morty was confused, but he didn’t ask the person to continue following Kenny.
As a person who worked under Aron for so many years, of course, Kenny knew he was tailed. Morty believed that Blair would eventually tell him what he wanted to know.
Lucas came to Morty when he returned to the base.
“I’ve got something.”
“What is it?”
Lucas followed Morty into the study room.
Lucas passed something to Morty and said in a lower tone, “Alison wasn’t a Close. She’s from the military. Alison quitted the army on purpose. Someone made her. It all looked like a coincidence. Nobody suspected that she’s related to the army if you don’t look into it. But you see, her real name was Tracy, and she met someone before she quit the army.”
Morty took a look at the video clip Lucas showed him, and he frowned.

What is it with Chinese authors. The characters are slow, he finally opened his mouth, it took him so long just to say two words...the house keeper would have put the person out before he even spoke....is this really how people are over there..the characters are always lost in thought, they might as well live in their heads.....
