Ex-wife, Please Come Back novel Chapter 426

Although "Generalist" is famous for his ingenuity, nobody knew his whereabouts.

There were even rumors that said that he was already dead. However, Thompson did not believe it. Besides, he believed that this man's talent was exceptional. If Thompson could persuade "Generalist" to work for him, the latter would certainly be of great help in the future.

Of course, that would only happen if "Generalist" was willing to join him. Sadly, Thompson could not find him anywhere.

To try his luck, Thompson left a message to the shop owner.

Honestly, he was actually doubting if the shop owner really knew "Generalist". As he would not be able to confirm it, he had to try anyway. After all, not everyone had the chance to know "Generalist".

As Thompson sat in the shop, he felt a little frustrated. He had tried asking the shop owner about the man's whereabouts, but the shop owner said that he never showed up again. Upon hearing it, a frown appeared on Thompson's face. It made sense, though.

Why would a person, who was proficient in hiding, would easily reveal his whereabouts?

The next second, Thompson's hope was rekindled. If a man was too easy to be found, then he certainly was not "Generalist".

On the other hand, he wondered why Jacob could have seen that person. Well, he had rather not think about it.

Seeing that the person whom Jonathan had been searching for got discovered by someone else was the last thing he wanted.

Besides, there was something terrible that he did not want to admit.

He saw a familiar man on the TV. Although it seemed that the man had aged, Thompson was sure that he did not see it wrong.

'Was he the boss of the underworld?' Thompson had to find "Generalist" and figure it out.

But since he could not, perhaps that person was hiding from him. After all, he had tried so hard and sent so many people to find "Generalist", but to no avail.

Just when Thompson was about to walk out of the shop, the owner stopped him.

"Wait! Sir, I suddenly remembered something."

The owner patted his head lightly as though it was helping him remember his lost memories. He had only had a few customers these past few days. He could not just let his customer at the moment go. After Thompson asked about a specific man, the owner had been trying to recall the man.

"The customer came that day. He mentioned that he was going on a long trip. Since he liked the beef here, he said he wanted to take some with him."

The shop owner vividly described the scene of that day, which piqued Thompson's interest.

Thompson then returned to his seat, and listened to what the shop owner had to say.

"Did he say where he was going?" he asked suddenly, but the shop owner shook his head in response.

"No, he didn't. But, I'm sure that he's out of town. He might never come back, though." The shop owner looked tensed when he spoke. The gray coat the man was wearing the other day was still etched in his mind.

Thompson was taken aback. Did that mean that "Generalist" would not come back anymore? Perhaps they were not talking about the same person?

"He bought a lot of fried beef that time. When he walked to the door, he sighed deeply and muttered that he wouldn't be able to eat it again. Of course, I got curious so I asked him why."

The shop owner looked outside the window as though in a daze. It was rare for a person to suddenly say goodbye to him so solemnly. Not to mention, the man was a complete stranger to him.

Although he just came to his shop several times, the shop owner missed him.

How could he not? He was in bliss whenever he thought of someone appreciating his hard work. This was enough to make him happy and at ease.

That was the reason why his impression of "Generalist" was quite deep. Besides, the man always wore a vintage outfit with a gray or black overcoat and a cap, making him extremely inconspicuous.

"All he said was that he'd go somewhere far and probably won't come back. It's a pity that he wouldn't be able to eat such delicious beef. He mentioned to me one time that he felt at home whenever he was here. He must've been happy since he ate meat and drank as much as he wanted. His words encouraged me to keep this shop running."

The shop owner could not help but be nostalgic when he thought of that dear customer of his. Everyone enjoys being recognized, right?
