Chapter 638: Lackey
Watching Hugh Hill leave with his men, Peter Brown’s eyes were filled with murderous intent as he looked at Esme Carter and said, "What are you trying to do?"
"No, no, Peter, I don’t mean anything. I just came to serve you since I found out you were here. Don’t worry, I won’t reveal your identity to anyone," Esme assured him.
Upon hearing this, Peter retracted his murderous aura and turned to Esme, asking, "How did you find out?"
After hesitating for a moment, Esme said, "After the ghost incident in the county, I thoroughly researched the situation, especially Matthew Carter’s case. I found out about a Peter Brown living here. Then, I researched the water diversion system in Tilted Sunset Village and noticed the craftsmanship of the pipelines you set up. It was obvious that this could not have been done without some powerful means. Furthermore, the pair of shoes you wore when live-streaming the battle against the Sea Clan gave you away."
Listening to Esme’s explanation, Peter was rendered speechless, as he had made extensive preparations to remain incognito, but still been discovered.
Observing Esme, Peter felt that the young man was quite astute. A closer inspection of the youngster’s Spiritual Roots revealed that they were of mid-grade quality.
It seemed that Esme had a good grasp of Peter’s weaknesses, even noticing the flaw in Peter’s shoes.
Well, it is what it is!
As Peter picked up his teacup, Esme hurried to pour tea for him and whispered, "Don’t worry, Peter. No one else knows the situation here, and I won’t tell anyone. With me by your side, we can definitely take control of this place."
Accepting the teacup from Esme, Peter asked, "Who are you, exactly?"
