Chapter 2760
Nicole was dead serious. "Yeah, I can't back out now."
Zane pondered for a moment, whereupon he agreed, "Since we can't avoid this, we might as well work together once more. However, you don't need to come over to HQ to do any field work. You can stay where you are now and provide us with intel. Don't hesitate to let us know what you need help with."
'As long as she doesn't put herself in danger, there shouldn't be a problem,' he thought.
Nicole nodded. "Sure, no problem. I'll handle the side of things here at San Joto and leave the rest to you."
To that, Zane sternly replied, "Okay."
'If the Eastern Falcon is thinking of making a return, we won't hold ourselves back this time around,' Zane thought, determined to bring his adversaries down.
Nicole sighed as she hung up and she reminisced about the days when she was still an active member of the organization. Near-death encounters were commonplace back in those days.
Then, Jared came up to Nicole and whispered in her ear," Have you called?"
Nicole tilted her head and looked at Jared with a smile on her face, "Yeah, I just called."
Jared gently ran his fingers through Nicole's hair. "He must've pulled all of his hair out worrying about you."
Nicole nodded in response, "Yeah, I know."
She could not imagine how terrible Zane must have felt upon learning that she had crashed.
After that, Nicole bit her lip and mumbled, "He said that I can officially resign from my post after we have dealt with the Eastern Falcon."
Jared saw a flash of reluctance in Nicole's face, and so, he offered, "You know, if you don't want to resign, you don't have to. You don't need to abandon what you love just because of us. You can keep doing what you enjoy."
However, Nicole shook her head. "I know I'm reluctant to resign, but sometimes, tough decisions must be made."
Nicole resonated to herself mentally, 'I've been missing for the past five years, and now, I have a family of my own. I can't be running around with the organization battling criminals and mercenaries all the time. I guess my exit is the best solution for both parties.'
