“What?”

As expected, Karl was equally shocked. “Why do you want me to look into her all of a sudden? DoesMr. Hayes know something?”

“I guess so. He wants you to figure how that woman fell.”

The bodyguard truthfully told Karl what he heard from Sebastian.

Only then Karl understood the situation.

After Jocelyn got into the accident, Janice stopped visiting the Oceanic Estate. When he triedlooking for her, everyone said she fell while looking for Jocelyn.

Then, he stopped checking.

No one in the Oceanic Estate paid attention to it, including Jonathan.

However, now that Sebastian knew about it, what does it say?

It was straightforward. When someone wants to hide something, she would typically be jumpier.As she would be scared and worried, she would constantly try to prove her innocence, thinking itwas safer with more people learning about it.

Yet, she failed to realize that it would create more doubts too.

Besides, she was foolish enough to make it known to Sasha, who was with Sebastian, one of themen with the highest IQ in Jadeborough

The realization made Karl livid.

“That bit*h! I will expose her secrets, then come back to chat with you,” he huffed.

"Oh, why are you with Mr. Hayes? I thought you were transferred to the research institute when hedisbanded SteelFort. Why are you out again?” Before they ended the call, Karl curiously asked.

By then, Xayden no longer wanted to talk to him.

With a stoic expression, he did not hesitate to end the call. Therefore, he did not hear Karl'snagging, telling him not to fight as it did not suit him.

After all, who would take a researcher from an assassin organization out without reason? EvenFrederick would not do that.

Yet, Sebastian did it.

They had been in the air for about three hours when they finally looked down to see a cold andbarren desert with little huts.

“Mr. Hayes, we have arrived,” Xayden informed him after seeing where they were.

Sebastian nodded in acknowledgement.

It did not take long for the helicopter to land on a bright red landing pad. After the helicopterblades came to a stop, Sebastian got off. A middle-aged man dressed in local clothing was there togreet them. He wore a bright smile on his face.

“Mr. Hayes, you are here. Thank you for making a trip here.”

“It's okay.”

Sebastian exchanged a simple greeting.

By then, his bodyguard had climbed out from the helicopter too. While he passed Sebastian hislaptop, he also passed the man a black fountain pen.

Sebastian raised his brows in confusion.

“Mr. Hayes, this is not an ordinary fountain pen. It acts as a protection for you. It holds the power ofabout five kilograms of gun powder,” his bodyguard explained.

For the first time, he was speechless. He looked between the pen and the man, unsure of what tosay.

“Xayden, what have you been doing at the research institute over the last two years? Did they makeyou create such things?”

"No."

Xayden immediately lowered his head.

“They ordered me to produce medicine, and these weapons are my own secret projects because Iknew you would return, Mr. Hayes. Therefore, I did not slack off in my two years there. I havecreated various new deadly weapons and poisons. My latest creation of a small-sized bomb cantake down a whole building.” Excitedly, he took out a golden ball and raised it in front of Sebastian.“Look! I brought it with me.”

Instantly, Sebastian was taken aback.

Subconsciously, he stepped backward and kicked a stone from the ground in the direction of thenew creation.

What the hell is that?

When he fought Charles years ago, he thought hard of ways to save the bunch of talentedindividuals from SteelFort and finally decided to send them away.

He wanted them to shine in the places they went.

Yet, this man was still creating weapons and poisons, where one was so deadly that it could takedown a building.

Sebastian was rather frustrated and felt like killing him.

However, at that moment, the middleman turned around. “Mr. Hayes, you mentioned that youwanted to disguise yourself as one of our employees. If so, would you both mind changing out ofyour clothes?”

Giving his bodyguard a stern glare, he pointed at the golden ball in his hands before being whiskedaway to change.

Xayden felt like he was put in the spot.

Regardless, he obediently kept the deadly weapon before following his boss.

He was not old and was close to Lance's age. As they looked similar to Lance, Sebastian lockedLance up Lance and let Xayden take his place.
