Marrying The Supposed Gold Digger (Valerie) novel Chapter 758

Matthew didn't deny it, which made Landry feel relieved. "I thought so. I was wondering who could surpass me. Mr. King, it's dangerous here. You need to leave quickly—I'll lead them away!" Landry, thrilled to see Matthew, felt that in his eyes, King was like a legend. He couldn't bear to see him come to any harm.

Matthew shook his head. "It's not the right time yet. I have important tasks to attend to. Let me get you out of here first!"

Matthew pulled him along, but Landry resisted. "No, Mr. King, I'm fine. They won't target me for now. But if we go outside, we'll be sitting ducks!"

This was the territory of the rebels, and going outside would be a death sentence. Landry's mindset shifted; he had felt hopeless before, but now that he saw his mentor, he felt a glimmer of hope and couldn't bear to leave. "Mr. King, what brings you here? Surely it's not just to see me, is it?" Landry glanced outside, where armed forces were moving back and forth and gunfire could be heard. It seemed they had captured a few suspicious individuals.

Matthew took a deep breath. "When I retired back then, I had something very important to attend to, so I didn't have the chance to let you know. I'm here now for that same reason. After all these years, I still haven't found the truth, so I wanted to come in and investigate. But tell me, how did you end up here and join the gang?"

Landry sighed. "It was just a matter of chance. If I hadn't joined the gang, they would have killed me, so I had no choice but to align with them. Mr. King, is there anything I can do to help you? I know that even though you're trapped here if you wanted to leave, you could find a way out." He could guess that someone as skilled as King, an international hacker, could escape from any situation unscathed. Even though he didn't know the specifics of the matter, he wanted to help in any way he could.

Hearing this, Matthew acknowledged openly, "Indeed, the person I'm searching for is within the gang. However, it seems like there's a mysterious force working against me, which is quite troublesome. What about you—what are your plans?"

"I want to help you!" Landry said.

"Not giving up, huh?" Matthew asked.

"I'm not giving up. I want to help you. Mr. King, how about we team up and work together like we used to? How does that sound?" Landry immediately grasped his hand. Now that he had finally seen his mentor, he wasn't going to let go easily. Whatever they did, he wanted to do it alongside him.

Matthew was momentarily touched. He had retired because his parents had died in a car accident. Although he was still young, he had to grow up quickly, take over the company, deal with those with ulterior motives, and get Noria Group back on track. Most importantly, he had spent years trying to uncover the truth behind the incident and track down the hit-and-run driver. Bringing Landry into this would undoubtedly be very dangerous.

With his position as the president of Noria Group, Matthew had been unable to uncover the truth over the years, and now, being abroad, involving Landry could endanger him further. Matthew didn't want to put him at risk. Moreover, the mysterious force continually working against him meant that in the current state of conflict, even a small misstep could result in a fatal blow.
