Chapter 1122
"How severe are the issues?" he asked, genuinely concerned. "Do you need my help?"
"No, we've found a solution already," Nicole replied. "Oh yes, I've been meaning to tell you this. The Beacons which I've ordered will be produced in the next few days. We can head over to the factory and pick the shipment up together."
"Sure, no problem. And where should I send them to?" Carl asked.
"You can pass them to Zane," Nicole replied. "He'll know what to do."
"Alright."
"That's all I came here to tell you about. I'll," Nicole said, having done what she came here to do, and proceeded to leave.
Carl took his coat while saying, "Judging by the state you're in, I think I should just send you home."
"It's fine. I'm staying in the room across yours," she said, after which she noticed that he was frozen as he stared at her, baffled.
"Across mine?" Carl could not believe what he had just heard. "Do you really want to stay here in this hotel?"
"Yeah, you won't have to send me home. Bye now." Nicole walked out of his room and into hers.
Lying on her bed, Nicole's mind was racing as she pondered on the way Jared had acted back in the hospital. 'When did he become so compliant? He left just because I asked him to?'
Back in the headquarters, Jared had just reached, and Max was already approaching him.
"Has everything been settled?" Jared queried, his face deadpan.
"Yes," Max replied. "Sir, after having conducted an investigation for the past few days, I've found the man with a pentagram tattoo on his hand."
Upon hearing this news, Jared's heart skipped a beat. "Where is he? ii
"He's currently in town."
"Don't alarm him. Just be discreet and take note of the people he meets." Jared said, before drifting off into his thoughts again.1 This man must be an agent. I'm sure that through him, I'll be able to trace the man who is in charge...the one with the Leonardo shoes, i
"Understood," Max said.
"Have you gotten any news about Conrad?" Jared asked.
"There's none so far," Max replied. "Our people are still searching for him."
"Alright. Make sure you keep an eye on this tattooed guy. We might be able to find a few more leads through him," Jared said, unsmiling.
"Understood. I'll pass your orders on at once," Max finished, and walked out.
Jared sat in the office and was thinking quietly. 'After all this time, I've finally managed to gain some leads from all the investigations.
The person who hurt grandpa? I'll make sure he pays for what he did once I get my hands on him!'
