Right Person, Wrong Time novel Chapter 693

Chapter 693

Wolf? A layer of surprise flickered in Adam's eyes. They discovered that Colton was related to Wolf, but they didn't expect him to expose himself directly.

Adam suppressed the surprise in his heart, pretended to be dumb, and questioned coolly, "Wolf? Are you somehow related to them?"

Snickering, Colton replied, "Yes. I'm sure you'll be able to find some clues. The leader of Wolf, Julian, and I are good friends. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to receive help from their team when my son went missing."

Adam went silent. When Wolf came over to carry out their mission, he received news about it, but there was no major interaction between the two teams eventually, so he didn't bother to care about it. At that time, most of the members from Wolf were transferred to investigate the matter of Colton's son. In that case, the relationship between Julian and Colton was definitely not simple! Undercity was currently experiencing chaos internally. They were not fully prepared yet; Adam worried they wouldn't even be formidable opponents if they confronted Wolf.

"Friends?" Adam glanced at Colton back and forth before offering a meaningful smile. "I'm afraid it's not that simple."

The two forces were from different regions. If there was nothing important, why would Wolf come all the way here to risk confronting Undercity head-on? A strong competitor shouldn't fight a local gangster, after all!

"We're friends who have sworn on our lives. Besides, Gardner Corporation has been investing in Wolf's capital transfers. There are no absolute enemies or friends in the world, only long-term interests."

Adam suddenly couldn't read his mind anymore. When Colton came, Adam assumed he was here to find out who wanted to kill him, but he didn't expect Colton to reveal his identity to him.

He had always been unable to fathom why Wolf hadn't collapsed yet, even though they didn't get involved in drug trading or murder. They did nothing but difficult, low-paying work, but it turned out that a Gardner was helping them! It was all starting to make sense now because Gardner Corporation had a secure financial background and was also ranked at the top of the world, which meant that providing financial support to Wolf was a piece of cake for them.

"I don't know why you trust me so much that you'd tell me all this. If the news got out, it might bring disaster to you," Adam said with squinted eyes.

Colton chuckled lightly and uttered, "If the news gets out, it will be your responsibility. If you think you can confront Gardner Corporation and Wolf head-on, then go ahead and spread the word."

Adam's grip on the cane tightened. The man in front of him was threatening him! Come to think of it, it had been a long time since someone had threatened him!

Looking at Colton, he suddenly laughed out loud. "You're a young soul indeed. You're not afraid of offending others when you speak."

Colton smiled in return as his slender fingers landed on the table. "I know the rules. You won't tell others about my identity easily, but I've left my words here. I won't stay still if anyone from Undercity comes at me again."

Although he was smiling, his words were threatening.

Adam was not afraid of threats after many years of living with Undercity, but he didn't find it a good idea to confront Wolf, so he nodded. "Got it. Since you came here on purpose today, let's make an open promise. I swear my subordinates will not do anything to you in the future."

Your subordinates? Colton narrowed his eyes as if he understood the hidden meaning behind his words.

"I've heard that you've retired. Is the current leader someone else?"

Colton was not dumb, so he guessed the reason right away.
