Chapter 699: Chapter 76 Unswervingly Delbon_2
"We also need enough concealnt.”
Jason said no more.
But he believed that Cortana would understand his aning.
Indeed, it was the case.
Cortana almost instantly understood Jason’s thoughts.
...
Her gaze swept subtly over John and the other two.
However, Cortana did not say much and got up to leave.
Jason saw Cortana out of the ‘Bastion’; when he returned, John, Brian, and McCaul were sitting on the sofa in the living room, waiting for him.
There was no real eting room inside the ‘Bastion’.
But this small area, with four sofas and a round coffee table, had been designated as the eting zone.
Especially when three of the four were seated, it naturally signified that a eting was in order.
"Our guess has been confird.”
After Jason sat down, McCaul was the first to speak.
This forr private detective shrugged with a sigh as he spoke, his face filled with helplessness.
"Yeah, the ‘ground’ Alliance is more riddled with holes than we thought,” said Brian, the old father, with a serious expression. He took a deep breath and looked towards his daughter Kemi in the distance.
John kept his usual silence, simply stroking Daisy’s head with his hand.
But John’s eyes held a sharpness.
Those familiar with John knew that he was dangerous at such tis.
Upon learning the truth about the Sabie aliens, John and the others had discussed with Jason ‘how the Sabie aliens found the ground’, the two most likely scenarios being:
1. Accidental discovery.
2. Soone led the way.
Compared to the forr, Jason and the three preferred the latter.
If it was the latter, the situation within the ‘ground’ Alliance would be terrible.
Because, based on the original circumstances, the people most likely to have made contact with ‘Sabie aliens’ were those who had landed on the moon, and it had been decades since the ‘ground’ first landed there.
In those decades, people from ‘ground’ had made more than ten trips to the ‘moon’.
And all these people, because of the honor associated with ‘landing on the moon,’ had beco powerful, influential, or renowned.
Simply put, if there were traitors among these people, the ‘ground’ would beco terribly vulnerable, like an unguarded backyard, allowing the Sabie aliens to co and go as they please.
Unfortunately, their speculation held.
"But there is still hope,” John suddenly said.
This gloomy, silent middle-aged man stroked Daisy’s head as he gazed out of the window.
At this ti, the sun was about to set.
The afterglow of the sunset drew a dazzling red line in the sky, and the not yet completely dark blue sky looked particularly layered.
The closer to the sunset, the bluer it appeared.
John raised his head, gazing at such a sky, and took a deep breath.
"At least I like this place very much,” he said.
"I like such a sky.”
"I like my bed.”
"And I like the food I can eat.”
"I don’t want any bastard to ruin these things.”
John, who rarely spoke, had just made a string of remarks.
Jason, Brian, and McCaul exchanged a smile.
"The situation may be grim, but fortunately, the number of traitors should be quite small!” McCaul said directly.
To this, no one present objected.
There certainly weren’t many traitors on the ‘ground’.
There was a very good chance there was only one.
Because, had there been many traitors, there would be no need for such a ‘gradual’ approach.
And they would have found the ‘Qilin flagship’ by now.
A complete coup, using the ‘infiltrator’s’ characteristics to take control of more ‘ground’ leaders, would be sufficient for the Sabie aliens to beco the ‘ground’s’ master within a short fra of ti.
And all of this?
Had not occurred.
"Who do you think it could be?” Brian pondered.
McCaul also furrowed his brow.
"Gentlen, could you please consider the two of us?”
"We didn’t have your ‘professions’ before we could access those nas and rember them.”
Jason reminded Brian and McCaul.
"I’ll write down the list.”
McCaul imdiately offered.
As McCaul began listing nas, Bolun and Emily approached.
"Lord Jason, would you like to go to the ‘Food and Drink Pavilion’ for dinner?”
"Of course, my treat.”
"It’s our agreent,” the young man said with a sincere smile.
Faced with such a smile, Jason found it really hard to refuse.
He glanced at John and the others.
"John, Brian, McCaul, your expertise with the ‘Silver’s Glory’ has been greatly inspiring. A simple al is far too modest a gesture. I hope you will frequent the ‘Food and Drink Pavilion’.”
"As long as I am the owner of the ‘Food and Drink Pavilion’ for one day.”
"Like Lord Jason, you three are welco to co and eat anyti.”
Bolun imdiately smiled and looked towards John and the other two.
While speaking, the young man perford an ancient courtesy.
"Silver’s Glory,” huh?
Brian was sowhat intrigued.
As a “qualified father,” he had hoped to take his daughter to a restaurant for a al.
Unfortunately, this wish had never been fulfilled.
And now?
It seed like a good opportunity.
McCaul, on the other hand, nodded without any hesitation.
He also loved food.
He had certainly heard of the great reputation of “Silver’s Glory.”
John looked at his three friends who seed interested and pondered a bit before asking, “Can we bring pets?”
"Of course!”
Bolun responded.
"Then what are we waiting for?”
"Let’s go!”
"I’ll drive!”
McCaul called out to everyone.
The group split into two cars, and just as the doors were about to close, Tel from Delbon, who had been waiting for the opportunity, rushed to the car that Kemi, Telly, and John were in, driven by Brian.
"What are you doing?”
Telly glared at Tel.
Ever since the Amulet incident, their relationship had beco very poor.
And after the autograph book incident, though they occasionally united against others, most of the ti they were at each other’s throats.
Following her past experiences, Telly was already waiting for Tel’s retaliation.
And her?
She was naturally already prepared with a response.
But what Telly didn’t expect was that Tel didn’t even glance at her.
He looked at John.
"Mr. John, are you lacking a temporary pet?”
Tel asked with a shalessly ingratiating air.
John: ???
Daisy: !!!
"Shaless!”
Telly scolded angrily.
Tel, however, completely ignored her, just looking at John with a face full of pleading.
He was too eager to go to “Silver’s Glory.”
As for becoming a pet?
It’s only temporary, so what’s the problem?
Tel was very determined in his thoughts.
Then, he suddenly felt a tug on his sleeve.
He looked down to see Daisy biting his sleeve, whimpering.
Tel’s first instinct was to withdraw his hand.
But then, he imdiately thought of sothing.
He quickly turned a smile towards Daisy.
"Daisy, don’t you think I’d be very suitable to walk by Mr. John’s side with you?”
Tel whispered softly.
"You’re the most shaless person from the Mystical Side I’ve ever seen,” Telly accused furiously.
However, she gestured for Daisy to let go of Tel.
"Don’t bite him; you might catch a disease,” Telly consoled Daisy.
But Tel didn’t retort and just kept smiling.
In this standoff, the car traveled all the way to “Silver’s Glory.”
When they arrived, Tel eagerly opened the car door, John frowned slightly and walked out with Daisy.
Tel followed closely, bending at the waist, wringing his hands, occasionally looking at Daisy and flashing a big smile.
"Shaless!”
Telly really couldn’t stand it and lifted a foot to kick Tel in the butt.
Tel sensed it coming.
But he had no intention of dodging.
Bang!
With a muffled sound, Tel’s figure exaggeratedly stumbled into “Silver’s Glory.”
Everyone watched this scene with a curl of their lips.
This included Jason.
But at the next mont—
Boom!
An explosion sounded, and flas shot into the sky.
"Silver’s Glory” was engulfed in a sea of fire.
The flas roared fiercely.
Jason’s smile instantly disappeared.
His gaze turned cold in an instant.
