Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 1268

Edgar wasn't perturbed by Brian's words.

He simply said, "You owe me a favor. This is what I need now. You can pay me back with it." Molly replied brightly, "Edgar, you have learned to become shameless in the army. Ha-ha." After joking, she suddenly turned serious. "Daniel called Bri this afternoon. Since both of you requested it, Bri is sure to help."

Upon hearing this Edgar felt relieved. He turned to look at Brian, waiting for his answer. Brian took a file from his drawer and handed it to him. "Take this, but keep in mind that we are now even!"

After Edgar took the file, Brian added, "That's all I can do for you. As for how you care to proceed? That's none of my business."

Edgar grinned. "This is all I want. Thank you."

"Let Tony drive you back," Brian said flatly. "If everything goes as planned, you won't have much time to prepare."

Edgar nodded and left with Maggie. By the time they reached the hotel, it was already midnight.

Maggie shut the door and asked, "Why didn't he pass you the file while we were having dinner?"

Edgar opened the file, taking out the papers and replied, "I don't think he had this information at that time."

Then he flipped through the file, one page after another. On every page, there was information regarding a member of their opponents, from the leaders to the common members. The important ones even had photos attached to it. Even though most of the photos were not clear views from the front, he was still surprised by the efficiency of XK. Their power was simply intimidating.

Maggie was also reading the information. She couldn't help but murmur, "Could he have known beforehand that you were coming? Did he get a head start on collecting the information?" Then she turned to look at Edgar, anticipating a confirmation. It was the only explanation for the efficient and thorough dossier.

Edgar thought for a while and then answered, "He started when I gave him the call. When Daniel called him, it would have been after we boarded the plane. At the most he had five hours to gather this information."

Maggie blinked in astonishment. "Is he running a spy organization? Is XK full of spies?"

Edgar indifferently answered, "If you are not very smart, at least you should develop some common knowledge." After he put the stack of pages back into the file, he turned to the wardrobe, which contained two huge black canvas bags.

Maggie was surprised to see the two bags, as they weren't there earlier. Lips twitching, she watched Edgar opening the bags and her eyes widened in surprise.
