Chapter 569
Nicole saw the confident look in his eyes and nodded.
“We’ve got company. Three and five o’clock. Split,” she quickly said, and then dashed in the other direction.
Carl reacted just as fast. The two of them had been working together for many years and had a tacit
understanding. Before those people trailing them could react, Nicole and Carl had vanished into the crowd within
seconds.
The leader of those people was infuriated and gave a slap to one of his men behind him. “What are you all waiting
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfor? They have noticed us. Give chase!”
Nicole and Carl moved so quickly that by the time a dozen men split into two groups and went looking for them,
Nicole and Carl were already nowhere to be seen. The group leader had now calmed down, took out his radio, and
whispered to the person on the other end, “Boss, they were quick and got away; we didn’t manage to catch them.”
The person on the other end of the radio seemed to have said something, and the man’s face turned pale. He
answered respectfully and then beckoned his men behind him.
“Call it off!”
Nicole and Carl got into a low-key black SUV waiting at Gate C almost simultaneously. Carl whistled softly and said,
“Nicole, you are quicker than last time.” Nicole cocked an eyebrow at him and said, “So are you.”
Carl could not reach this speed last time. It seemed that the previous mission not only almost put him in trouble but
also honed his strength.
Carl looked at Nicole with eagerness in her eyes. “Shall we have a friendly match again next time?”
Nicole shot him a glance and nodded. She was also curious about how much Carl had grown.
But thinking about the look of those people just now, Nicole frowned, turned to look at Carl, and asked in a bitter
voice, “Is that them?”
Carl hesitated with a confused look in his blue eyes. There was no marking or sign on those people’s clothes, so he
could not tell if they were sent by that family. He honestly shook his head at Nicole and said, “I don’t know.”
Nicole knew he would not lie to her. The fact that they were ambushed as soon as they got off the plane meant that
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsomething had gone seriously wrong. She narrowed her eyes and said coldly, “You’ve definitely been exposed.”
Needless to say, Carl was well aware of the problem. His expression remained unchanged, but his voice gradually
became grave. “I’ll find out.”
Nicole nodded, not wanting to dwell on this issue for too long. She leaned back in the seat and looked at the unique
scenery of Mecrounia, thinking about something in her mind.
It was a long drive. By the time the vehicle stopped, it was late afternoon.
Nicole glanced at the massive manor and the familiar black goat’s skull statue at the entrance,
then slowly stepped out of the vehicle.
Carl followed suit. The servant at the door saw the two of them and was visibly shocked.
He looked at Carl and asked in disbelief, “When did you go out, Carl?”
