Chapter 828: Caius Frost
Are you sure these aren’t just some pranks?" Cai asked Rafe, his brows furrowed as he stared intently at the man through the screen.
Rafe shook his head, his expression serious. "These do not sound like pranks, Cai. They feel more like whispers—rumors that have a life of their own. I’m already investigating the situation, but whatever the source is, it’s being kept under wraps, hidden from view."
"But since you don’t know the truth, it could very well be about someone else entirely," Cai replied, doubtful that someone would want to run a smear campaign against him.
Rafe’s head shook again, firmer this time. "That’s not what has reached me. You know better than to ignore the signs, Cai. Don’t bury your head in the sand. You need to return as soon as possible. The longer you stay away, the more emboldened those who are trying to spread rumors about you will become. Are you absolutely certain you don’t have any enemies out there?"
Cai shrugged, lifting a hand to point at his own face with a grin. "Look at me. Do I look like someone who could ever have enemies?"
Rafe arched an eyebrow, considering the question carefully. "From your face, you might appear harmless. But from your deeds, I would wager that you have enemies spread all over the globe. You may not see them, but they could be lurking in the shadows, waiting for the perfect moment to strike."
"I don’t allow shadows around me Rafe. Relax. Even if it is someone trying to do something, I will handle it when the time comes. For now, thank you my friend for looking into the matter. But I have something even more important to do."
"Something more improtant? Like what? Sleeping and eating? What can you be doing in a remote guest house all alone? Having parties with the bears?"
Instead of giving him a straigh answer, Cai picked up the phone and walked towards the door of the room. As he’d guessed, Lily was there, with her back to him, setting the table outside. He turned the camera," This is what I am working on. My future."
