"Where to?" whispered Roe to Jason as he pushed Jason's wheelchair slowly through the narrow alley between the tightly packed houses."There," Jason pointed to a disused well covered with concrete to prevent small children from opening it."Are you sure?" Roe asked, hesitant."Yeah, no one will search there. Besides, I highly doubt they'll bother looking for her; she's just an added burden for Chief Eugene, right? Chief Eugene will even thank you for getting rid of Amber for her," Jason goaded, sounding convincing.Roe's eyes gleamed at the thought of Eugene praising him for taking the initiative without being ordered.Yes, he had seen firsthand how his chief was often annoyed by Amber's behaviour. He knew Chief Eugene couldn't avoid the responsibilities given to her by Glenn Smith because of her dedication as a human being.But not if someone else got rid of Amber, right? Chief Eugene wouldn't be blamed.That thought made Roe happy."Okay, don't tell anyone," Roe instructed Jason. Th
"Are you ready?" Glenn asked Hazel. Hazel looked so beautiful tonight, wearing a long emerald green lace dress, adorned with long dangling earrings in both ears."Please, love," Hazel requested, holding out a thin chain necklace with a pendant shaped like a teardrop diamond.Glenn immediately put the necklace around Hazel's slender neck, and once he succeeded, his fingers lingered on his wife's neck.He traced Hazel's neck with gentle movements, making Hazel shudder. "Love..." he murmured softly because their evening could be postponed if Glenn asked for another round of their bedroom game."What, can't I admire my own wife?" Glenn teased, searching for an excuse."You can do it another time, dear..." Hazel pleaded desperately. She imagined the series of preparations she had done since the afternoon so that tonight she would appear perfect. She didn't want to embarrass Glenn; this was their first gala dinner with millionaires from around the world. Very important people who were rarel
"Mr. Zhang!" Glenn called out as he ran towards the man, but the man didn't hear him.Mr. Zhang's brisk pace forced Glenn to run small steps to keep up.Considering Mr. Zhang's packed schedule between presentations, lectures, research, and publicity appointments, he couldn't afford to miss this meeting. Glenn caught a glimpse of Mr. Zhang's shadow disappearing behind a dark, closed door on the twenty-fifth floor."Here you are," Mr. Zhang's voice greeted someone before closing the door.Glenn glanced at room number 25-8 with a furrowed brow. It wasn't like him to eavesdrop, but for some reason, his instinct told him he needed to stay put and find out."Who is Mr Zhang meeting that he has to hide?" Glenn wondered. Fortunately for Glenn, Mr. Zhang hadn't closed the door tightly, allowing him to overhear the conversation inside."How much is your offer?" Mr Zhang asked loudly."I thought you said earlier that my request was unreasonable," replied a voice Glenn recognised as Mason Zimmer
"I'm so glad to meet you, Hazel," Mei said as she tightly grasped Hazel's hand.Glenn could see the sincerity in her eyes as she spoke; she seemed naive and distinctively different from her cunning father.Mr. Zhang's gaze at his daughter was also affectionate and protective."Me too; I thought I'd be stuck in the wrong place tonight. Who knew I'd find another book nerd," Hazel replied with a giggle."I'd love to meet again. I'll bring along my interesting book collection," Mei said again with sad eyes."We should! What do you say, Glenn? Can we?" Hazel asked, her eyes misty as she looked at Glenn.Of course, Glenn couldn't refuse and agreed to Hazel's request."As long as Mr. Zhang doesn't mind," Glenn quickly added."I would be delighted," Mr. Zhang commented amiably."Great! Thank you," Hazel said, then briefly kissed her husband's cheek."You must stay at my place; I'll take you around Yuhan and introduce you to our delicious cuisine," Mei offered."Alright, I'll let you know when
After watching Mason's receding back as the elevator carried him away, Glenn pressed his phone and called Yvonne.A hoarse, panicked voice of Yvonne, seemingly awoken by his call, came through."Is there a problem? Are you alright?" Yvonne asked."You're talking to who..." Victor's voice echoed from the background, audible to Glenn."I'm alright. Sorry to disturb your sleep. It's just that I've got our object," Glenn revealed."Object? What object, Glenn? Wait..." Yvonne sounded like she was walking away, perhaps getting a drink, as the sound of water passing through a throat reached Glenn."I couldn't think straight earlier. But is the object you're referring to antibodies? How could it be?" Yvonne finally grasped what Glenn was talking about."The story is long, but I need you to prepare the isolation process. I'll try to bring it to you by next week," Glenn said."Okay," Yvonne replied shortly."Wait, are you ready if I place it in a distant and hidden laboratory? I just met Mason,
"Now, where should I go," muttered Glenn, pacing back and forth on the dock like a confused person.A message from Victor came shortly after. It provided instructions on where he should go.According to Victor's information, he needed to rent a boat from the local fishermen and hide once he arrived near the rig so that the mercenaries who lived there wouldn't shoot him.The mercenaries at the rig allowed the local fishermen to fish under the rig because tuna and dolphinfish liked to hide there as a shelter.That's why those mercenaries were familiar with the local fishermen's habits and let them work for a living.Glenn approached a relatively young fisherman. He chose him because someone that age would still be firm, very fond of money, easily persuaded, and fond of challenges.When Glenn stated his destination, the young man frowned slightly. "The rig? Nah, man… If you're going to cause trouble there, your money won't work here. We all know about it," the young man said firmly.Glen
Sean observed Glenn ascending the vertical stairs towards the top of the rig. He was very anxious because after this, he would have to wait until Glenn finished with his objective."Hey, unusual to see you there!" the mercenaries who greeted him earlier remarked as they noticed Sean taking an unusual spot.Sean was very surprised; it was unusual for the guards to pay attention to him. Usually, after escaping their observation, they wouldn't bother Sean until he finished fishing.Sean would give some freshly caught fish before returning to the dock.He was very afraid that Glenn would be discovered, which meant that he, who would undoubtedly be considered a traitor, would also be eliminated."Oh... My friend told me yesterday that here you can get more fish!" Sean replied, shouting.The flashlight shining from the guard made his eyes dazzled. He dared not look at Glenn because it would give the guard a hint of Glenn's whereabouts."Oh, okay, but don't get too close to that pole over th
The boat pulled up near the very foul-smelling garbage dump. "They already know it's my doing," Sean muttered.Suddenly, he felt fear; the fact that The Eyes crew was now saving themselves meant they would undoubtedly seek revenge on Sean.Then he thought about how his fellow fishermen would treat him tomorrow for betraying The Eyes crew.Sean looked stunned as he gripped the engine lever."Sean... Sean!" Glenn called out, startling him.Sean didn't answer, but his eyes were focused on Glenn."Don't worry about that; come work with me. I need someone swift like you that I can depend on," Glenn pleaded."And I can pay you more if your work is good," Glenn added, convincing Sean.Sean's gloomy face suddenly brightened. "Really? Yes, of course, take me away from here," Sean requested.Then suddenly, he remembered his grandmother being cared for in the hospital. "But, Grandma..." he hesitated."Don't worry about your grandmother; we can move her to better care. Now, where do you think is
