Chapter 480 Watching Eyes
“How long will it take for your people to analyze the information? When will they be fully prepared?”
“Well… even though the intel is comprehensive, we’re talking about the dark web’s fifth-ranked assassin organization. Since we’ve decided to eliminate them, we need to be thorough. We have to be meticulous about every detail to prevent them from rising again. Five days… or maybe a week would be safest for preparation.”
Rain gave a rough estimate. His eyes deliberately avoided direct contact as he spoke.
In front of the girl he liked, Rain couldn’t lie easily. If their eyes met, Tilda would see right through him. Actually, Rain just wanted Tilda to stay in Endralsia longer. He wanted her to keep him company.
“A week, huh…” Tilda rubbed her chin.
It was January 8th now. After dealing with the Skin Organization and rushing back to Slosa, it would probably be January 20th. Fortunately, she could still make it back for Winter Holiday to see her seniors again.
“What’s wrong? Queen, is spending a week with me too much to handle?”
“Nothing’s wrong. Come on, let’s drink our coffee.”
After taking a sip, the bitterness spread. The rich coffee aroma bloomed in her mouth, satisfying her taste buds. It was so comfortable.
At that moment, a gaze quietly fell upon Tilda. Tilda noticed this. Actually, she and Rain had both disguised themselves. They’d concealed their presence.
After all, Rain’s identity was too special. They didn’t want to draw attention. She hadn’t expected someone to still notice them… That’s interesting.
Rain was extremely sensitive to stares like this. Through his sunglasses, his eyes found the man staring at Tilda. His killing intent began to stir restlessly.
After taking a sip of coffee, the man spoke to his companion sitting across from him. “I ran into someone I know. I’m going to say hi.”
“Huh? Mr. Lowell?” Tobias’s secretary, who had been reporting work progress, was stunned. She watched Tobias stand up and walk toward Tilda’s table.
“I never expected to run into you here, Tilda.”
Hearing Tobias’s voice, Tilda narrowed her eyes and turned around. “What a coincidence. I didn’t expect you to still be in Endralsia.”
Tilda was obviously asking a question she already knew the answer to. Tobias was still in Endralsia for a reason. He’d received intelligence secretly passed from the Jensons through Kyla. He planned to get a piece of the Jenson Group’s business expansion in Endralsia. However, Tilda had to pretend she didn’t know.
“Yeah, the startup phase is killing me. Look at these dark circles under my eyes. I haven’t slept well in days.” Tobias pointed to his eyes, a pair of beautiful, deep eyes that had inherited his parents’ excellent genes. “By the way, Tilda, I ran into your brothers. Just yesterday I was doing business with them. It went really late.”
“You got one thing wrong, though. They’re not my brothers, just strangers. I have no obligation to know anything about them. Also… Mr. Lowell, I don’t think our relationship is that close. You don’t need to get so personal by calling me by my first name.”
When the Jensons were mentioned, Tilda’s tone dropped. It became ice-cold.
Tobias whistled and raised both hands in surrender. “Okay, okay, my bad for saying the wrong thing. How about I make it up to you somehow?”
Tobias’s instincts told him that Tilda wouldn’t keep too much distance. Back at the auction, Tilda had approached Tobias first. Regardless of Tilda’s motives, Tobias knew she’d make a good ally. Even if she couldn’t be an ally, she absolutely couldn’t become an enemy. This woman was unfathomable and extremely dangerous. Tobias’s impression of Tilda had never changed from the beginning.
“Not necessary.” These two words weren’t spoken by Tilda, but by Rain. “Can’t you see she’s not interested? Get lost.”
Even without killing intent, Rain’s ice-cold words sent chills down Tobias’s spine. Even Tobias noticed Rain’s unusual nature. Although the person in front of him was disguised, making it hard to see his appearance, it was impossible to recognize his identity.
“Alright, I won’t disturb you any further then.” Tobias’s instincts told him this seemingly young teenager was dangerous, absolutely someone not to mess with.
Finally, Tobias turned back to Tilda. He spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear. “As an apology, Tilda, let me tell you something. It seems like the Jensons have sent someone to tail me. As for who exactly it is, you can guess. He’s hiding right here.”
Tilda’s eyebrows furrowed deeply. The Jensons were already suspicious of Tobias? That made sense. At the auction in Slosa, Tobias had perfectly figured out their bottom line. He’d successfully won the bid. Then they met again in Endralsia and got caught up in the Hotel Morloss incident. Over the past few months, Tobias had used Kyla’s intelligence. He’d made the Jensons suffer quite a few losses.
