“Why isn’t this person arriving yet? Sierra’s backer is way too cunning.”
Ivan stood next to Robert, frowning.
“From morning to now, this person has been working to lead everyone from the countryside to the busiest mall in the city, and even now isn’t showing their face. We don’t know if they’ll switch locations again.”
“So long as we confirm whoever it is, it’s fine if we don’t catch them today.”
Robert smiled, his mood relaxed.
Having someone spy on him in the dark was like having a knife at his back.
So Robert really wanted to know exactly who it was supporting Sierra from behind.
Sure, he wanted to take them all down today, of course, but if this person escaped because they were just too cunning, that was fine too. So long as they showed their face and allowed him to be sure who it was in the shadows.
“Good point. It’s hard to relax with someone skulking in the shadows around you.”
The brothers waited in the secluded compartment, while inside the café, Sierra and Randy had been waiting a while, and opposite them, David was losing his patience.
“I’ve checked my watch. It’s going to be ten minutes soon. Are you going to trade or not? I’m telling you, I might be rich, but I’m not begging you to sell the stuff. I’ve got more investment opportunities, and don’t think I need to grovel!”
At that, David stood up in a rage, and Sierra hurriedly apologized.
“Sorry, Mr. David, he’s here already and he’ll arrive soon.”
Since the two were in constant communication-
Jayson had heard David’s impatience as well and had Sierra promise David that he was coming in right away.
“Fine, I’ll give you two minutes. Two minutes should be enough to walk in from outside. If your man still isn’t here by then, I don’t think this deal is necessary.”
David returned to his seat and sat down. The café’s atmosphere suddenly turned stiff, and everyone started showing nervous expressions.
But they kept a good expression. Naturally, David was listening to Brenton’s directions all along.
Only, he had a high-tech earpiece and other people couldn’t even tell he was still receiving directions from someone else. Jayson’s people didn’t find anything unusual with David at all.
Having observed for long enough, Jayson walked out from the café.
But he didn’t walk in front and had his body double walk up instead. He was disguised as the bodyguard behind him, wearing a wig and having put makeup on to somewhat hide his original features. People who didn’t know him well definitely wouldn’t have recognized him as Jayson Willis.
Jayson’s body double walked over and shook David’s hand.
“Mr. David, sorry for the wait.”
“All right, since everyone’s here, I won’t linger over the delay back then. The key is to finish this deal quickly. Get it all out. We’ll check each other.”
David took out his own card.
“You can check the money in there. I’ll check your documentation. With no problems, we’ll start signing for it.”
Jayson stood behind his body double and had the body double sit between Sierra and Randy.
David, opposite them, started leafing through the documents and examining them in detail. As for Jayson, he kept a close eye on the surroundings. All was quiet, and there was nothing strange going on.
