Chapter 2333

Then, Anita gave Morine a head’s up.

“We can wait for the results, but you can’t, Anderson. They’ve failed twice already. Third time’s the charm. They might be much crueler and straightforward next time!”

This woke Morine up and he understood that Anita was not exaggerating to give him a scare.

“What do you think I should do then, Anita?”

“You need to leave the hotel, Morine! It doesn’t matter where you go, just don’t stay there. Survive the night, and I promise I’ll be back by tomorrow morning.”

Morine fell silent for a while before responding. “Alright, Anita. I understand.”

Morine immediately went to talk to the hotel staff once he ended the call and instructed them.

‘There’s something I need you to do, it’s crucial that you follow closely…’

After that, Morine left them the necessary payment.

The staff quickly nodded.

With Morine living in his own hotel, he quickly received notice of something else.

“I heard that the purchasing department needs to go on a business trip?” Morine asked over the phone.

“That’s right, Mr. Laine. Is there a problem?” The staff asked.

“Not at all. Just bring me along,” Morine said before hanging up.

The staff nodded. He understood that none of the hotel staff dared to deny Morine’s request, and Morine made no move to explain himself.

This confusion was precisely what he wanted. If he told them everything, it would be very dangerous if that information were to be compromised.

At eight p.m., Morine got into the hotel’s purchasing department’s truck and made his way to Bardot. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

According to the driver, it would take around six hours to get there. Morine did not offer a response and quickly fell asleep in the car.

The Aldrich brothers brought news of their failure back to the secret base.

This shocked Kerrick, and he began to become interested in Anderson.

“He managed to evade our attack twice? He’s definitely not an easy target! Damned b*stard! Once this is done, I’ve got to ask for a higher reward!”

Kerrick cursed before glancing at the people in front of him.

“Go out first. I need to make a call.”

Once everyone had left, Kerrick called Josef’s number.

“I didn’t expect to hear from you so quickly. Do you have good news?”

Josef answered the call happily, only to be met with Kerrick’s displeased reply.

“What good news? We’ve tried twice and we failed both times. What are you hiding from me? An ordinary man cannot possibly be so skilled at countering surveillance!” Josef was stunned and he roared in anger, “Isn’t it your problem that you failed twice?”

Kerrick replied, “You’ll understand why I came to ask you this after I tell you what we’ve tried.”

Once Kerrick finished retelling, Josef’s expression changed as well.

Morine’s cool-headedness throughout both attempts was not something any ordinary man possessed.

“What… You’ve really put me on the spot this time because I also got that information from someone else. This means there’s a discrepancy between what we know and the truth.”

Only then did Kerrick bring up the true intention of this call.

“This mission’s difficulty just skyrocketed. Shouldn’t you pay us more for this?”
