Chapter 176: Miss
It was a few days after they came back to the capital that the news broke and reached Spade’s ears. Arren was not in the palace but returned to the Katz Mansion to be with his father and console the Duke about what happened on the island.
However, it was more about Arren. He also missed his father and the mansion, so he stayed there, leaving Spade to tend and focus on the work and responsibilities he left. In some way, it was also Arren’s consideration of the alpha.
"The chip is... decrypted?" Spade’s finger stopped from flipping the document as his voice trailed off and he raised his head, looking at Serrien, then diverting to someone from the Black Intel a few steps behind him.
Both nodded their heads respectfully, and silence shrouded the room. No one spoke after that. Spade stared at the two; his face almost couldn’t be read before, after a few seconds, he leaned on his seat, resting his hand on the desk.
After a while, he drew a deep breath; his eyes flashed with some light, and yet there was a light of anxiety within. Spade wanted to know what was inside that chip so bad, but at the same time, he was also nervous about what he would discover.
With a lot of confusion, guesses, and even doubts in mind, Spade composed himself and finally nodded.
"We’ll go there at once." Spade stood and loosened his cuffs before taking a few steps. It was only after a few steps that he stopped, turned, and cast a side glance at Serrien. "Don’t let anyone know for the time being," he said as he silently strode forward.
As for who this someone was, it was not anyone else but Liviera. Why? Spade knew the obsessions of his omega father, and for a little while, he wanted to confirm them first.
Not long after, Spade was already in the car as they drove to the secret base. Some other similar cars also drove with them before they would encircle some intersections and a few locations; it was their anti-tracking to confuse whoever was monitoring them.
