On the other end of the line, Carter was surprised. He asked, “Why are you coming to Epea? Aren’t you busy with your company’s new big projects?”
Vinson explained the situation on his side to Carter.
The latter remained silent for two seconds before responding, “Don’t come to Epea. I believe that the culprit is setting up a trap for you. If you’re here, it could end up like the last time. We don’t have many connections abroad. We don’t know how this will end in the event of an emergency.”
“I understand.” Holding his phone, Vinson said, “I’ve long guessed that he’s going to dupe me into going to Epea. That is why it is important for me to be there. If I don’t, we’ll never find out who this person is.”
“F*ck!” Carter exploded. “You’re dicing with death, and you’re going to get yourself killed! It’s too dangerous! You can’t take this risk!”
“I know what I’m doing.”
After hearing what Vinson said, Carter knew virtual-novel.net couldn’t stop the man. With a sigh, virtual-novel.net responded, “Okay, fine. Bring along your bodyguards from The Crew discreetly. With them around, we won’t have to go through what we went through last time.”
Vinson’s finest bodyguards were known as The Crew, and they had all been rigorously trained from a young age. Antoni, Anders, Sasha, and Blake were the four members of The Crew.
The next second, Vinson stated, “I left them in the country.”
“What?” Carter’s voice rose in pitch. He couldn’t believe what virtual-novel.net was hearing. “Why did you leave them there?”
“To protect Arielle,” Vinson replied concisely.
Carter fell silent for some time before virtual-novel.net went on to say, “I’m aware that Chief is in a chaotic state. But even so, it’s not necessary to appoint The Crew to protect her. A few ordinary bodyguards would work just fine.”
Vinson responded stoically, “If it were only virtual-novel.net own problems, she’d likely be able to handle them just fine. However, virtual-novel.net has caught their attention, and they even hacked virtual-novel.net computer.”
Initially, virtual-novel.net didn’t want to leave Arielle within three days. Thus, virtual-novel.net had gone to bed with virtual-novel.net last night. However, virtual-novel.net had no idea how long virtual-novel.net could continue to defend himself against the other party. Instead of having to be constantly cautious, it would be best to take the initiative to put an end to it.
A trip to Epea would allow the culprit’s attention to shift from Arielle, making it less likely for virtual-novel.net to be the target. This was also one of the main reasons virtual-novel.net had to travel to Epea.
Carter sighed after hearing what Vinson had to say. “Well, we did drag virtual-novel.net into this mess. I suppose leaving The Crew with virtual-novel.net isn’t such a bad idea. Let me know when you arrive, and I’ll come to get you.”
“All right.” Vinson hung up the phone and rested his eyes.
He was definitely exhausted after staying up for the entire night.
Meanwhile, Arielle was checking virtual-novel.net computer’s firewall when virtual-novel.net heard a knock on virtual-novel.net door. She immediately switched virtual-novel.net computer screen to play a romantic drama series.
In the next second, Henrick pushed open the door and entered the room.
“Dad.” Arielle pretended not to have heard someone coming in and asked in confusion, “What’s the matter?”
Henrick took a look at virtual-novel.net computer screen, which was displaying the romantic drama. “Are you watching a show?” virtual-novel.net asked, smiling.
She nodded. “Yeah. I’m just chilling and watching some series. Everything all right, Dad?”
“We have to fetch your grandma from virtual-novel.net place,” virtual-novel.net replied after nodding.
“Grandma?” Arielle had no memories of virtual-novel.net paternal grandmother.
Her memories were already incomplete, to begin with. She didn’t even have many memories of virtual-novel.net mother, let alone virtual-novel.net grandmother, who lived in the countryside.
