Hearing Nina’s words, both Gordon and Cade exchanged a knowing smile.

Gordon joked, “If that’s the case, he is worth more than 200 thousand.”

Cade nodded approvingly and said, “We’re going to play into their scheme-let Henry report the mission as a success, and use that as a thread to unmask the forces behind him and pinpoint their location.

“The National Security Bureau already got the message, so they should be in action right now.”

Cade looked at Simon and Nina with approval and said, “You two really pulled off something big this time.”

Gordon chuckled at Nina and said, “Alright, you can start shopping for your ride.”

Nina’s eyes lit up, surprise mixing with excitement. She exclaimed, “For real? I actually get to choose it myself?”

Gordon said, “Absolutely. The budget is set between 100 to 150 thousand. The bureau’ll also hook it up with some special gear based on what you need for work.

“Since you’ve got a pretty unique status, just tell us if there’s anything particular you’re after.”

For other consultants, their cars might come decked out with things like bulletproof glass or even weapons systems.

But Nina’s car was probably going to need some features that one didn’t see every day.

Like a special pet seat, a collapsible cat scratching board, or maybe a travel-friendly perch for birds?

Nina lit up instantly, almost bouncing on the spot. She’d been sketching out her ideal “animal detective mobile” in her mind for ages!

Simon watched Nina glow with joy, his gaze tender. He said softly, “Whatever you want in your car, just let me know-I’ll make it happen for you.”

Gordon shot a look at Simon, who was cool as a cucumber-like pulling off something this huge was just another day at the office for him.

He couldn’t hide his admiration as he said to Nina, “Your brother’s unbelievable. We teamed up with the National Security Bureau to track a spy for an entire month, and that guy didn’t slip, not even once.

“But Simon took him only three hours to get the guy to spill everything-handler, contacts, the whole deal.”

As he talked, Gordon’s face showed a flicker of confusion. He muttered under his breath, “How did someone with skills like his end up buried in some tiny station? Talk about wasted talent.”

Just then, Cade’s deputy brought over the detailed interrogation records.

The more Cade read, the more his eyes lit up. When he glanced at Simon again, his gaze was filled with appreciation for genuine talent.”

He said, “Simon, there’s going to be a nationwide Elite Training in Juniper at the end of the year. They’re bringing together the top young officers and outstanding civilian experts from all over to exchange ideas and grow together.

“Would you be interested in attending?”

Gordon instantly looked up.

He called out, half joking, half serious, “Mr. Green, come on! You’re really trying to steal Simon away right in front of me?”

Simon blinked in surprise when he heard Cade’s invitation.

He didn’t answer right away. Instead, he asked, “If I go, can Nina come along and attend the training too?”

Cade smiled, giving Nina a gentle once-over and noticing how petite she was. He said, “The training is pretty tough-you’ve got to be good in both brains and brawn. As for Nina…”

Nina instantly understood what Cade was getting at and awkwardly scratched her head. She knew all too well that she was hopeless when it came to fitness.

But then Cade said, “Honestly, you really don’t have to worry about her.

“Even if she doesn’t come in through this program, other departments will definitely reach out and invite Nina to Juniper.

“If things go as planned, the National Security Bureau will be contacting her within the next few days.”

Nina’s eyes went wide, and she blinked a couple of times, clearly caught off guard.

The National Security Bureau was the department everyone talked about-infamously secretive, almost like something out of a legend.

Honestly, Nina figured they’d reach out sooner or later, but right now her real concern was for Simon. She asked, “So, what exactly is this Elite Training all about?

“Why did Mr. Vale look like Simon was about to get poached the second he heard about it?”

Gordon let out a sigh and explained, “The Elite Training isn’t just some regular class or lecture.

“If you truly shine during the training or the skills competition, you might get recruited straight into the highest office in Juniper.

“Simon’s so impressive-once he’s there, people are sure to notice him. I can’t help feeling proud, but honestly, I really hate to see him go!”

Nina’s heart was racing-she could barely contain her excitement.

She thought, ‘Getting promoted straight into Juniper’s top office?

‘With Simon’s talent, there’s literally no telling how far he could go!’

Nina tugged at Simon’s sleeve and said, “What are you waiting for, Simon? Say yes already!

“Don’t worry

about me, Simon! I’ll just pack up the animal hospital and set up shop there too-I’ll manage both, easy peasy!”

Simon gave a helpless little smile as Nina nearly bounced with enthusiasm-a shadow of worry flickered in his eyes, but he quickly pushed it aside, steadying himself.

He straightened up and faced Cade, posture unwavering.

He said, “Thank you for your guidance and trust, Mr. Green. I promise to give it everything I’ve got-I won’t let you down.”

Meanwhile, Grant was leading the meeting.

Their conversation was kept low, so no one else in the room paid them any

Alex’s eyes never left Nina and Simon.

mind.

Nina instantly picked up on his gaze and looked up, meeting his eyes head-on.

Chapter 163

When she spotted the plaque still sitting by Alex’s side, everything suddenly clicked for her.

It finally clicked for Nina-Alex was pulling the whole “plaque delivery” act just to show off today.

She thought, ‘Could it be Alex got wind of the Elite Training and is hoping this stunt gets him a ticket in?”
