"Why did you play such a shameless trick?" Charlotte glared at Eric immediately as she got into the car.She looked like she wanted to beat up the latter, but there was no way she was going to be able to do that."What is shameless?" Eric asked, looking rather confused."Stop with your tricks and tell me why you did what you did?" Charlotte couldn't be bothered with Eric's tricks and said angrily."Well, things didn't go according to how you planned it, so I had to tweak the plan a bit?" Eric shrugged."Is that what you call tweaking a bit?" Charlotte fumed."Yeah, it was just a little bit of tweaking. Besides, I wasn't expecting the plan to take such a major turn." Eric nodded, looking serious.Then he proceeded to tell Charlotte his initial plans and how he was forced to change them when he saw what had happened."So Sophia knew that she was being followed?" Charlotte muttered, looking rather confused."Well, you could say that," Eric agreed."But she didn't know they were following
"Here's it," Charlotte said, passing a small book to Eric.The book looked old, but the insides looked like they were new.Browsing through the contents, Eric shook his head and then walked toward the sofa and collapsed on it with a sigh."What's wrong?" Charlotte asked anxiously.Though she didn't fully trust Eric, he was far stronger than her and she couldn't even see which realm he was.If it was just a realm higher, then she would have been able to see it, but she was not able to see it, this showed that he was far more powerful than her.Besides, he didn't read through the manual at all and just brisked through and then shook his head. What a godly speed that was.She was sure that Eric must have been disappointed which was why he shook his head.Eric, on the other hand, was shocked in his heart. Immediately he held the book, he heard the system's voice telling him all the names of the cultivation technique and then the flaws inside the book.Then the System asked if he wanted to
Charlotte's expression changed upon hearing what the figure said."Did she say what she came to do?" She asked."No, she just said she wanted to see the commander." The man replied."Alright, let her in and bring her to my office, " Charlotte replied after a while."Yes ma'am." The man nodded and turned around leaving almost immediately."What are you going to do, you know that she mustn't find you here." Charlotte frowned, turning to look at Eric."You don't have to worry about that." Eric shook his head, not showing any signs of standing."Where's Jake? I've not seen him," Eric asked, looking around the office."He went on another mission, so he's not around," Charlotte replied, walking towards her table and tying it up.The reason she had not rejected Sophia was because she knew of the defense department's existence.One who didn't know of the defense department wouldn't come. Besides, there were various security checks, and it was not just anyone who would be able to pass through
"Would you mind listening to what I have to say?" Sophia sighed, looking rather helpless."Fine, but I'll be giving you just a minute to say all you have to say." Charlotte agreed, her voice Cold.Sophia sighed in relief seeing that Charlotte agreed to listen to her. This meant that she was not dumb and could already guess what had happened."Well, the reason I was pursued is this." Sophia sighed as she recounted what had happened and how the company she had worked for helped her."So you're Sophia Tonks," Charlotte asked, her face lit up in surprise."Yes." Sophia nodded, feeling rather relieved.This time, she knew that her family's reputation was not going to save her, but rather her own.She was a genius, and thus, she was sure that as long as the defense department were not fools and wouldn't want to lose someone like her, then it was all good.Otherwise, she would be condemned to her fate and there was nothing she would be able to do about it other than lament."So what do you w
"What are you trying to do?" Chloe frowned, looking at Eric suspiciously."What do you think I want to do?" Eric chuckled.There was no way Charlotte would be able to compete with him, so he was not scared that she was going to use any underhand means.Even if she tried to use it, she was not going to win, so it was better for her not to even try it in the first place."Yes sir, what do you want me to do?" Jackson's Voice came from the other end of the phone."I'm sure you know Sophia Tonks, right?" Eric began."Yes sir, I know her, the m genius of the Tonks family," Jackson replied and a hint of excitement could be heard in his voice."Well, she returned to the country today, and I would like you to go meet with her.." Eric nodded in satisfaction upon hearing the way Jackson's Voice sounded."Yes sir." Jackson nodded hearing what Eric said."You'll just have to follow my instructions," Eric continued."Tell her that the owner of NovaPharm Industries wants to recruit her.""But sir,
Eric had a smile on his face watching Charlotte's expression change with each second. He was sure that the more she thought about it, the more misconceptions she was going to have about it.Well, that was none of his business; after all, it depended on the amount of animosity they had with the county he was talking about.If there was hatred between both countries, then he was sure that this was going to spark a mini-war. But who was he to decide?The higher-ups were going to decide on that. All he did was to give Charlotte a hint, and if she was able to get it, then it was her luck, and that was all.Eric shook his head and stood up from where he was sitting, it was time for him to go. He couldn't continue to sit here.."Eric, I'll be heading out to see the higher-ups, would you come with me?" Charlotte offered, looking at Eric.Knowing well that Eric was going to reject her, she still offered him, so she was not going to feel too shocked if he refused."Na, I'll pass, I don't want t
"Jackson, you don't have to head to the office again; just go to a park, and then send me the location. I'll be waiting," Eric said; immediately, Jackson picked up the call."Yes sir." Jackson was surprised, and though he wondered why Eric would say such a thing, he didn't ask many questions. He was sure that he had his reason, and it would be impolite to ask him.He was going to know sooner or later. As for now, he was going to keep his curiosity in check and wait till he was told what was going on. And if Eric didn't say anything, he was just going to count it as his luck.Eric soon received a text, and then he showed it to the driver, asking him to head in the direction.Then he called Charlotte. At first, she didn't pick and Eric couldn't help but wonder if she was already in the presence of the elders.The second time, the same, and then the third. Eric looked at the phone and silently decided that if she didn't pick the third time, then he was just going to let her be.After all
"Why are we at the Park, Mr. Jackson?" Sophia frowned looking at Jackson in a rather strange manner."I don't know why; all I got was the order, and I did as I was told." Jackson shook his head as he looked for a place.It was almost evening, so there were quite a lot of people in the park, so he needed to look for a place with fewer people so they were going to be able to do what they wanted to do smoothly.Sophia, on the other hand, frowned and gripped her gun. She wanted to know who the mysterious person was and how he was able to know there was a tracker on the gun.At that moment, her mind was in turmoil. Right after Jackson told her there was a tracker on the gun, she brought it out and inspected it carefully, and behold, there it was.At first, she wanted to say that it was Jackson who had put the tracker on the gun. But that was the first time he was seeing her and they didn't even share a handshake.He wasn't even sitting close to her. Though her family gave them some space,
