Chapter 349: Mr. Everests, I Need A Favor To Ask

(Author’s POV)

"Young master, the authorities are saying that it is already dark. The search operation can’t go on like this and has to be postponed till tomorrow morning," Chris informed Fabian, his expression solemn, his voice full of exhaustion.

The search has been going on for hours, but there has been no news. As for the DNA testing, Fabian’s blood samples were already sent to the hospital and tested. None of the deceased turned out to be Jacob. It was a relief as well as a matter of anxiety.

With hollowed and gaunt eyes, Fabian’s attention was glued to the vast midnight blue hued waterbody. With a hoarse voice, he muttered, "Absolutely not. We haven’t even found him. The rescue operation will go on no matter what."

"But young mas~ ...," Chris was about to say something, but zipped his mouth when he noticed a royal looking Mercedez Benz’s Maybach with no number plate arriving at the scene. Seeing the person stepping out of the vehicle, he pressed his lips together and then told Fabian, his voice hushed, "Mr. Alaric Everests is here."

Hearing Alaric’s name, Fabian shifted his facial expression to a chilling one. He didn’t turn around but could hear Alaric’s approaching footsteps.

Chris stepped forward and greeted, his voice low, "Mr. Everests."

Alaric stood in front of him and asked, "Secretary Shadow, how are things going? Is there any news regarding Chairman Larson yet?"

Chris shook his head and mumbled, "Unfortunately, not yet."

Alaric narrowed his eyes a little, then questioned, "Did you find the cause behind the accident? Chairman Larson was going to come the day after tomorrow. So why did the plan get changed all of a sudden?"

Chris glanced at Fabian, who was radiating a cold, bloodcurdling aura. The truth was that after talking to Fabian on the phone, Jacob immediately asked his second assistant to schedule his private plane. He was worried about his grandson, that he might end up doing something either to himself or to one of the Everests, so he was ready to halt all his urgent business activities and return to Esteria.

The assistant repeatedly tried to tell him that it wasn’t a good idea, as such scheduling needs to be done beforehand and not impromptu, but Jacob’s commands had to be obeyed. In a rush, he followed the orders. But no one would expect something like this to happen, would they?

All this was told by the assistant himself, who, on Jacob’s orders, stayed behind.

"The overseas work was finished earlier than the expected time frame. As for the cause, we are waiting for an official confirmation, but the earlier signs indicate that there was an equipment malfunction," Chris conveyed.

Alaric nodded in understanding. He didn’t once look in Fabian’s direction, so he was unaware of how menacing and, at the same time, how forlorn he seemed. But Fabian was constantly side eyeing Alaric, the fury bubbling inside him with each passing second.

So far, he was self blaming and reproaching himself for the horrific plane crash. His mind kept replaying his last conversation with Jacob. How he yelled at him. He did not listen to his grandfather’s words and even disconnected the call midway. But when he saw Alaric’s face, he recalled the very reason he reacted in that manner. ’If not for him trying to insert himself into Myra’s life again, none of this would have happened. Filthy animal.’

The hatred he felt towards the werewolf kind, especially Alaric, only intensified.

Alaric felt a fierce stare on the back of his head and turned around. When he and Fabian locked eyes, the latter didn’t even flinch. But Alaric was a bit taken aback to see him in that state. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Chris sensed something and interrupted, "Uhh~ .... Prof. Stephens~ ... you have been of great help so far. Why don’t you go back now, hmm? I will update you on the matter."

At this point, Fabian wasn’t the least bit afraid of getting caught about his identity. He mumbled to Chris, "There is no need." He then raised his head slightly and asked Alaric, "Alaric Everests, what are you trying to do now?"

Alaric was puzzled as well as a little ticked off by the manner in which he said his name. He followed it up with a question, "What do you mean, Prof. Stephens? What did I do?"

"Myra~ .... What are you trying to do to her?" Fabian probed. His question blindsided Alaric completely. The familiarity with which he said Myra’s name irked him and Alex. His expression turned frosty as he said, his voice challenging, "And what exactly are you talking about?"

Fabian took a step forward, "You know exactly~ ... what I mean."

Although Chris didn’t understand what they were talking about, but by the energy they both were radiating, he had a sneaking suspicion that something wasn’t right between them. After spending so many years beside Jacob, he could instinctively tell that.

Getting into a conflict with Alaric at this time wasn’t ideal, plus he was aware of Fabian’s mental state, so he tried to intervene again. He then recalled a very important piece of information and said, "Mr. Everests, on behalf of Larson, I would like to ask you for a favor."
