"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
Chapter 148No one knew what would happen when an angry mob surrounded three trapped individuals. Even Glenn couldn't predict the next few minutes. Would he, Hazel, and Sean still be able to breathe and survive?But Glenn felt that he had to protect his wife until the last drop of blood. At least, when Glenn bought time until help arrived, Hazel would be okay."Get them out of there!" commanded the leader of the village people.Glenn's and Sean's bodies were dragged out, and when one of them tried to touch Hazel, Glenn immediately threw a punch."Get your hands off her!" Glenn threatened firmly."Bastard!" shouted another.They pushed Glenn's body until he fell to the ground, and without hesitation, they started kicking him mercilessly. Glenn's voice sounded choked as he endured the relentless pain.But all Glenn could think about was Hazel. The woman screamed, begging for Glenn not to be hurt. Glenn couldn't bear to see Hazel cry, so his emotions reached a boiling point. Clenching hi
Just as the village leader was about to speak, the sound of an approaching helicopter suddenly interrupted. Bright lights shone down, breaking the concentration of the crowd.In that moment, Glenn seized the opportunity. He struck the village leader, knocking him to the ground, and Sean joined in to help. Ropes descended from the helicopter, and armed men slid down.Of course, the villagers scattered immediately, afraid of being shot on the spot. Glenn's men quickly secured Hazel, keeping her behind them. They pointed their guns forward, ready to shoot anyone who dared to resist.The helicopter descended lower, and Glenn grabbed one of the ropes. His men swiftly secured the knots, and Glenn held Hazel tightly in his embrace. Sean also climbed up into the helicopter.Once Glenn’s men had secured their boss, they followed suit, gripping the ropes. The helicopter quickly soared into the sky.As the helicopter flew away, the villagers ran after it, shouting angrily. But it was just an exp
