It’s locked?
Because Sebastian wasn’t a man heavily involved with the army’s affairs, he wasn’t well-versed in it.
Is there a reason why it’s locked?
“Mr. Hayes, you might not be aware, but the highly confidential district where you trained is considered a secret to most people. Its whereabouts are highly classified. Most people save for high-ranking military officers do not have access to it.”
“High-ranking military officers?” Sebastian asked.
“Yes. I found out about this yesterday. You’ll need a password and registered fingerprint to enter. Jonathan must have sent you there because of its tight security.”
It looks like Dark Shadow is rather impressive. He managed to gather all this information and even came up with his own deduction.
Sebastian remained silent as he mulled over the information.
In truth, he hadn’t paid attention to these details because Jonathan was the one who sent him there.
When he left, Logan welcomed him at the exit.
Is there something hiding there that I did not expect? High-ranking military officers?
Seeing that Sebastian was deep in thought, Dark Shadow glanced outside. All of a sudden, he noticed that the commotion coming from the kitchen had died out. The sudden silence caused him to panic.
Mr. Hayes, I have to go. It looks like Mrs. Hayes is returning.” With that, Dark Shadow opened the window and made to jump out.
Before he could, however, Sebastian’s low voice drifted to his ears. “Are you trying to say that the person who snuck in to hypnotize me was acting under the orders of someone else?”
Thud!
Dark Shadow, who already had one foot out of the window, lost his balance and fell to the ground.
Of course not! I’d never thought of something like this. In fact, I was just telling him what I’d found out. There’s no way I’d be able to decipher the information I’d obtained even if my life depended on it.
Carefully, Dark Shadow pushed himself to his feet as he looked at Sebastian with a wary gaze.
“Mr. Hayes, I am not capable enough to come up with such deductions. Amongst all of your men, I am not the brightest. Are you trying to say that someone from the army is colluding with the White House in secret?” Dark Shadow retorted in a mixture of shock and anger.
Sebastian laughed wryly. “Save for this, what else could be possible?” he asked mockingly.
“W-Who is this person, then?” Dark Shadow stammered.
As soon as the question left his lips, the room’s temperature seemed to plummet.
How terrifying! Dark Shadow felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand up. Immediately, he rubbed his neck in an attempt to calm himself down.
