Chapter 1287
When Rowan passes out, Everett could finally relax a little.
“You can’t let him pass out as well,” Alden grumbled. ” He has to stay awake and go meet Rowan in a normal state.”
Only by convincing Rowan that the so–called chip is a hoax would they be able to completely destroy his
psychological defences and reveal everything covered up behind the scenes.
Otherwise, Everett would still have to endure some suffering.
Both Duncan and Ninian fell silent after hearing that.
Everett had already endured a lot while being tied up. How could he stand and face Rowan as if nothing had happened?
It was an impossible idea.
“We’ll talk about that later. Let’s take it slow for now,” Duncan lamented. “Everett has been through enough in these two days. I really can’t bring myself to force him to
do it.”
Also, it was not something that could not be forced.
It was already difficult for a person under control to stay sane, let alone act unperturbed.
“Where’s Everett’s laptop?” Alden asked. “He said he
found some clues, but hadn’t had time to tell you guys about them.”
“I think I know what documents you’re talking about,” Duncan said after a brief moment of thought. “Everett gave them to me the last time, but he didn’t have the chance to explain before passing out. His files are
encrypted, and I couldn’t get them open. I asked the help of the best hackers I know, but even they were unable to decipher it.”
“Let me try.” Alden looked up and said, “I can do it.”
Duncan’s face lit up when he remembered Alden’s background. “Oh, yes! How could I forget? Wait a minute, I’ll go get it for you!”
“I’ll go with you,” Alden said. He paused for a moment, turned to face Ninian, and said, “Grapie, you can just stay here with him. He’s been through a lot today, so give him some time to rest.”
Ninian looked up in surprise. When she saw the supportive and understanding look from her brother, suddenly tears welled up in her eyes.
