Chapter 120: Ominous War
It was during the group break. Xander was at the hotel cafe, having a conversation with his trusted assistant, Ron and Rui while Yera and Rizie were together, enjoying the beach with the rest of their group.
"Sir, I already briefed Rizie," reported assistant Ron as he handed the tablet to Xander.
"It’s good that Yera will have a friend on the inside. She’s entering Life Globals alone, so she needs someone on the inside she can talk to about private things. Even though we implanted some of our own people there, it’s still better that Yera will have someone close, who can be by her side. Having Rizie go is an excellent idea in every aspect. The two already get along now, so their relationship would grow naturally. Overall, it’s less suspicious, so an advantage..." commented Rui as he drank his tea. He was glad for Yera to have someone like Rizie. She was connected to Xander since Xander’s closest cousin was Rizie’s sister-in-law.
On the tablet Xander was watching the footage captured last night from outside his room. "How come you did not confirm who this person was? Looked at how he intentionally looked at the cameras. He clearly wanted us to see him. Who the hell will give a warning to an enemy like this. These people are too confident in showing off bluntly like this. It’s like saying that they are watching us." Xander exclaimed in gritted teeth.
"We are not even sure if that’s a ’he’. Who knows maybe that hoodie is a ’she’?" commented Rui as he drank his coffee. He saw Dion come into the cafe,so he waved the other man over and said, "Come, join us."
Dion f sat in the vacant seat beside Xander. Rui grabbed the tablet, and showed the footage to Dion.
"As you instructed, Sir, we checked Dr. Yao, but found nothing suspicious at all," Ron clarified, responding to Rui’s comment. Rui seemed to suspect that Dr. Yao was involved.
Dion looked around. He lowered his voice to a whisper, "Is it safe talking about this in such an open place?" The hotel cafe wasn’t entirely empty, and Dion wasn’t comfortable talking about serious matters in public places. He was always wary of bugs everywhere.
Xander laughed and patted Dion’s shoulder. He proudly uttered, "See how reliable my brother-in-law is? I’ll be at peace once he joins Yera at Life Globals too. Don’t worry little bro, because the area was swept for bugs a while ago."
