Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 482

Chapter 482

Raiden gradually put away the smile on his face, replacing it with a menacing, frosty expression.

“We missed out on someone who had made contact with the emerald seal in the middle of the transition. The real emerald seal is in that person's possession.”

Bailey narrowed her eyes. We missed out on someone? Is the emerald seal not with those people we captured? If that's the case, this is turning into a sticky situation.

“Those people should know the identity of this person we missed out on, right? Did you try to force the information out of them? These desperados are ready to give up their lives at any time, so you won't be able to get any intelligence out of them without resorting to underhanded methods.”

Raiden replied grimly, “We did, but our effort was for naught because they refused to divulge any information. That's why I came here to seek your advice on effective alternatives to make them cooperate with us.”

Bailey contemplated briefly before suggesting, “That person should've undergone rigorous and harsh training before becoming a special agent. Since you've failed to force the information out of them, that means torturing them will not be fruitful. You need to think of another approach.”

Here, she paused abruptly and narrowed her eyes at him. “You know I'm adept at hypnosis?”

Raiden raised his eyebrows in response. “I don't. I'm just here to try my luck, and it turns out you really do know. In that case, I'll have to invite you to tag along. I'm afraid you're obligated to help me out now.”

In fact, Raiden had no idea Bailey was equipped with hypnotizing skills, but since she seemed so capable in everything, he thought she might be proficient at hypnosis too.

He was unsure why he was so certain about the possibility either. If he must provide a reason, perhaps the best explanation would be that his behavior proved the saying of how people often viewed those they were romantically interested in with rose-colored glasses.

He fell for her, admired, and even loved her, so in his opinion, everything about her was great.

Bailey could not help but roll her eyes after hearing that. Then she uttered in resignation, “Aren't you a little presumptuous? I am also a fool for voluntarily admitting that I'm skilled in hypnosis.”

“Since you've made peace with that thought, please get into the car, then.”

Bailey glared at him. “You haven't even returned the favor for my help at the appraisal conference previously, yet you're already seeking my assistance again. Why don't you show some sincerity by returning that last favor first?”

Raiden smirked. It was apparent his mood had brightened significantly. Being around this woman always seems to have the effect of washing away all my worries and troubles.

“I suppose that antique statue is a priceless treasure, so that should be more than sufficient to return the favor I owed you yesterday. I won't pursue the whereabouts of that antique statue now, and you shall not dwell on that favor either.”

Bailey was rendered speechless. He's indeed a sly person.

“You can depart first. Artemis and I will be right behind you.”

Raiden couldn't help but laugh. “Is there a must for you to bring him along?”

Bailey snorted twice. “Of course. He's my future husband. Who else should I bring along if not him?”

“Y-You...” Raiden chuckled in exasperation. “I must've been entirely isolated from women in my previous life. That's why I'm falling for even a woman as stone-hearted as you.”

The smile on Bailey's face stiffened. Still, she feigned nonchalance and said, “In that case, you should stop having feelings for me to avoid getting annoyed by the sight of me.”

Raiden waved his hand and strode to his car. “I'll be waiting for you at Hallsbay's military base. Come over as soon as possible.”
