Chapter 2904
On an unknown island somewhere abroad, and within a mansion by the beach, Everett's face turned ashen and
pale upon receiving the news about everything that had happened in San Joto.
"How did he get himself busted? Aren't you all supposed to be competent enough to do your jobs? Why the hell did
you fail?" Everett bellowed, his fury reaching its peak.
"Slow down there. I haven't gotten to the part where you were to blame. His greed was what got us all into this
predicament in the first place, and you know what's the cherry on top? He got Vaio busted. Fortunately, Scorpio
managed to escape. Otherwise, all of my men would have perished in San Joto," a man in a black half-mask
retorted.

him? It's not like you weren't going to do the same!" Everett shot back, his teeth gritted in indignance.
To Everett, those men had clearly failed to use their brains while they were on the mission. He was furious as they
had resorted to blaming his father now that everything had gone sideways on account of their own mistakes.
"If I've really decided to pin the blame on him, do you think you would still be here spouting baseless accusations at
us? " the man in the mask asked, his voice a cold, terrifying bass.
"You were the ones coveting the Water Crest." Everett snorted, mocking the masked man.
Deep down, however, his arrogance and false bravado was beginning to shrink.
The masked man then turned to glare at Everett, his eyes reeking of displeasure. "That's it. What's done is done.
Let's think about how we should proceed."
"You must rescue him. He's been in San Joto for such a long time gathering information about the Water Crest for
you. If he gets thrown in the slammer, my department's efforts would all go to waste!" Everett barked.
"Why didn't you say that earlier?" The masked man complained.
If he had known this earlier, he would not have allowed Scorpio to proceed with the plan that had gotten them
busted.
'We are still free to eliminate Nicole at anytime, but there has been zero progress in regard to the Water Crest.
Perhaps Damien possesses some truly important clues about Water Crest,' the masked man thought.
A sardonic smile appeared on Everett's lips. "Why should I? Should I tell you that so that you could work with
Lawrence and leave me in the dirt?"
'Don't you dare think I'm clueless about your sneaky little plan. We're allies on the surface, but you can't say you
aren't looking for other options. That was why you contacted
Lawrence. Well, that hasn't escaped my notice,' Everett thought.

The masked man maintained his silence, exuding a frosty presence which made the air around him all the more
oppressive and suffocating.
Unable to stomach the man's frightening presence any longer, Everett gritted his teeth and softened his tone."
Okay. If you don't trust me, we can part ways peacefully."
The person standing before him was indeed not one he should ever trifle with. Everett had been right to be on
guard against him from the very beginning.
"There's no need to rush this. After all, you have nowhere else to go now," the masked man replied, his tone calm
and composed, making it hard to discern his true emotions.
Hearing that, Everett became even more cautious. "You should start by finding ways to contact my father. Extract
all the information he has. After all..."
Pausing for a minute, Everett continued, "If Lawrence really is capable of getting the crest on his own, there would
have been news of it by now."
