Chapter 1482
Nicole threw the phone back at Carl. "He's alright, but he did tell us to return home at once."
Carl blanched again. "Alright? We're definitely going to be yelled at when we get back, aren't we?"
However, Nicole had a look about her that indicated that there was no denying the fact that he was right. Those affiliated to the crest notified were all scions of the families that had lingered for hundreds of years.
'Uncle Zane's identity has always been the subject of mystery. Even Carl and I have never asked him about it before. However, Uncle Zane was actually included in the list of families affiliated to the Reby Family Crest. As he was able to receive the notification pertaining to the ownership of the crest, he must be one of the legitimate scions of one of these ancient families. He will know far more about the origins of the crest as compared to the rest of us, and that's why I'll definitely need to return at once and get things straight with Uncle Zane in person. But Jared... Now that the crisis has been averted for the time being, I really wish to go home and see him,' Nicole thought.
Previously, Nicole did not have the courage to contact Jared, because she was worried that she would rope him into this whole mess.
"Since Uncle Zane has issued an order, make the appropriate arrangements. We'll return to the headquarters in the afternoon," she said.
The instant Zeke heard that Nicole was leaving, he felt uneasy. "Nicole... If you leave, what's going to happen to me?"
'Will those people remain on my side once she has left?' Zeke wondered.
"Your father is in good hands. I'll get you on a plane back home before I leave in the afternoon," she said. "You need to remember, even if your grandfather manages to come up with an excuse, the higher-ups might still request to check on your father's condition. We’ll stall them for another day or two. Any longer than that, and they'll start getting suspicious."
Zeke immediately nodded.
'Nicole does pay great attention to the smallest of details,' he thought.
Nicole thought for a moment before grabbing the watch. She then got the crest and transferred it into her watch's system, installing it. Then, she typed a few words in.
Zeke could not help but give it a glance, and that was when he saw the first mission that Nicole had issued.
