Chapter 831: Chapter 41 Hide and Seek
After her subordinate Torres had left, Donna’s eyes never left the clock in front of her.
At this mont, the most crucial part of her plan was underway.
Even though she had gone over it hundreds of tis in her mind, Donna still felt so unease.
"Jason, Jason.”
Donna murmured the na softly to herself.
In her mind erged the image of Jason, imposing and strong yet bizarre.
Imposing and strong was his physique.
Bizarre was the hockey mask.
She had never encountered soone so strange, with a hockey mask that seed to be their true face.
Being the true self with glasses, she had heard of that.
But a hockey mask?
Such a strange person!
Donna couldn’t help but think.
Then, the lady leaned back in her high-backed chair, eyes fixed on the clock, while the folding fan in her right hand tapped gently against the palm of her left hand.
Those familiar with Donna knew this was her habit when contemplating.
And anything that made her contemplate like this was trouble.
Was Jason trouble?
Yes!
And not just trouble—he was a big problem!
In Donna’s eyes, such a peculiar person like Jason must be treated with utmost caution.
Therefore, Donna would not underestimate Jason.
In fact, she never underestimated anyone.
But she had to admit, she really had underestimated Jason.
She had never imagined that soone who seed to be a brute could be so smart.
No!
It was not rely being smart!
It was so kind of terrifying potential!
Their patience and that way of operating…
Involuntarily, Donna thought of tigers, then of venomous snakes, and also of foxes.
She didn’t know where Jason had lived before or what he had experienced to turn into what he was now, but she was clear on one thing—Jason was very difficult to handle.
More importantly!
How much did Jason know!
"Did you also discover sothing, is that why you purposefully approached us by becoming ‘Brutalizer’?”
"I must say, it’s a bold plan.”
Donna naturally thought to herself.
This was the only reasonable explanation for now.
If Jason had not discovered so ‘truth,’ such a big transformation would have been impossible.
But how much had Jason discovered?
Donna pondered.
If it was just a hint, it was naturally nothing to worry about.
But if it was a bit more…
Her entire plan!
At the thought, Donna’s tapping of her folding fan on her palm paused, her heart instantly tightening.
Because, from the current situation, the latter seed inevitable.
And it was enough to affect her entire plan.
She would not allow any accidents to happen to the plan.
Nor would she allow herself to fail.
Because she no longer represented just herself but the whole organization and… everyone’s hope.
"Success is the only option!”
"Failure is not!”
Donna was resolutely determined in her heart.
Tick tock, tick tock.
The second hand moved bit by bit, and after the minute hand had jumped fifteen tis, Donna picked up the phone, dialing the number she had morized by heart.
Beep… Beep…
After two electronic tones, the phone was picked up.
"Hello?”
Losa’s slightly puzzled voice ca through.
Such puzzlent was normal.
Anyone facing a call from a hidden number displaying asterisks would sound like this.
But, Losa was different.
Donna knew just how smart Losa was beneath the facade of a good-for-nothing.
Such a person might be puzzled at first.
But after they had clashed twice, by now it should not be the case.
So—
Another test?
Donna thought to herself, yet again using that sweet voice to speak.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Losa.”
"Good afternoon?”
"It was quite fine initially, but not anymore.”
Losa, recognizing the voice on the other end, spoke without any niceties.
As the phone had rung, he had been considering what tone to use.
Even if he had identified the caller, he could not just say so outright.
Because that would not suit his character or his current precarious situation.
His character was to be cautious, and his situation was fraught with danger.
So even with confirmation, feigning ignorance while probing was the most suitable approach.
Of course, one could not overdo the act; otherwise, it would backfire, additionally, he had to show reluctance—his current circumstances allowed for such a mood, and even provided grounds for grievance.
In fact, Losa’s choice was very astute.
Listening to the ’emotion’ in Losa’s words, Donna subconsciously covered her mouth with the black folding fan.
"Mr. Losa, I have brought you so good news.”
"Dorse and Klinck, two people who wouldn’t listen, I’ve already sent soone to deal with them.”
"I believe you will receive news soon.”
Donna spoke sweetly.
Despite Jason’s warning, and its confirmation when the caller phoned, the mont she actually heard Losa speak, her heart still skipped a beat.
Silence!
Losa used this stance to signal his shock at receiving the information.
Then, he took two quick breaths.
"You’re not running a charity; what do I have to give in return?”
Losa asked in a deep voice.
"Cooperation!”
"Of course, cooperation!”
"We need soone on stage to attract attention, and you need soone you can truly use.”
Donna laughed lightly.
"Agreed.”
"What should I do?”
Losa agreed imdiately, appearing very straightforward.
And on the other end of the phone, Donna gently snapped the folding fan closed and rested it against her chin.
