Chapter 3040
"Mr. Johnston, there's an update," Max conveyed with a serious tone." Everett has taken charge of the
Eastern Falcon, and some members are now following his lead." "How resourceful," Jared remarked,
his tone icy. Everett's sudden return had triggered Jared's suspicions, and Max's investigation
confirmed them.
"It's likely more of his men will come to San Joto soon. Should we prepare?
" Max asked.
Understanding Max's concern, Jared advised, "Not yet. Let them come first. " He believed that
intercepting now might only lead to new replacements. Waiting would make it easier to identify the
targets.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Okay," Max agreed.
Jared added, "Get Charlie to have someone shadow Nicole. We cant afford any mistakes on her end."
After giving a few more orders, Jared hung up. Turning around, he found Nicole standing behind him.
He reached up and smoothed her hair, saying,"
You caught all of that." "Yeah, I guess I’ve underestimated Everett," Nicole admitted, her expression
darkening. Everett's capabilities were more significant than she thought. 'No wonder he returned so
confidently. The recent subtle actions are clearly meant to divert our attention while secretly
redeploying his men.'
Fortunately, Jared had taken precautions and detected these moves before Everett's plans could fully
materialize.
Holding her gently, Jared comforted, "Even if the real leader of the Eastern Falcon shows up, they
won't be able to harm US."
Nicole bit her lip and suggested, "In that case, I think we should have Zane arrange another team to
come over."
While Jared had some forces under his command, bringing them all to San Joto was impractical.
Currently, only Charlie's team was here. If Zane arranged another team, it should be sufficient.
After sharing her thoughts, Nicole messaged Zane about the situation and her suggestion.
"Let's wait for Zane's reply," Nicole said and put away her phone. She took Jared's hand and added,
"Come on, let's go spend time with the kids."
Jared's eyes softened, and he smiled. "Sure."
The following day, Nicole arrived at Riddle Corporation under brilliant sunshine. As she settled in, the
phone rang. She glanced at it before answering, "Zane." "I've thought about your suggestion. I'll send a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmteam over today," Zane's voice came through.
"Thanks," Nicole said.
Zane chuckled, ‘ No need to be so polite. They won't only be working with you; they have other tasks
too." "Other tasks?" Nicole asked cautiously. "Do they need my cooperation?" "They’ll be going
undercover with new identities. You just need to provide cover for them," Zane explained.
Nicole hesitated for a moment before asking, "If the mission needs me, just give me a heads up,
okay?"
Zane laughed softly over the phone. "Don't worry. There will be times when we need you."
Nicole might not be as sharp in combat anymore, but her skills and smarts were still intact. Zane had
let her retire, so others would take care of the main missions.
Zane just wanted her to enjoy a peaceful and simple life again.
"Sure thing," Nicole quickly agreed before ending the call.
