    After breakfast, Nicole and Jared got into their car and made their way to Riddle Corporation.


    However, Lulu was not the only one waiting for Nicole today, as Spencer, Samuel, and June were there


    as well.


    "Have you heard from your men?" they anxiously asked upon spotting the couple.


    "Charlie and Patricia are not back yet," Nicole replied.


    "Let''s wait for them in my office."


    "Alright."


    They nodded in agreement, after which they entered Nicole''s office together.


    After sitting down, Lulu gritted her teeth and asked, "Why have we not received any news from them?


    Are they in trouble?"


    "No way,"


    Nicole shook her head.


    If something had urred while they were on their mission, they would have gotten wind of it by now.


    "Let''s wait a moment," June advised in an attempt to calm Lulu down.


    Though everyone was worried sick, there was little they could do but wait for word to return to them.


    The ones whose lives were at stake here were Charlie and Patricia, who were still out there, leading


    the fight.


    All they could do now was put their faith in the duo and trust that they would return bearing news.


    All of a sudden, a series of knocks were heard at the door.


    The instant she heard them, Nicole ordered, "Come in,"


    The door swung open, revealing Max, who walked in and greeted them.


    "Mr.and Mrs.Johnston.I hope all is well."


    "You''re back," Jared said.


    "Was the operation smooth?"


    Nicole was a little shocked by Max''s sudden appearance, but judging by the look on Jared''s face, he


    had already known about his return.


    "Yes, it was. Everything has been settled," Max said, approaching the couch before handing a file to


    Nicole.


    "This is for you, Mrs.Johnston.Zane asked me to send this to you.Surprised, Nicole grabbed the file,


    and upon reading its contents, she looked up, gritted her teeth, and sighed.


    "I knew it," Nicole said, handing the file to Jared.Jared took the file from her, looked at her, and asked,


    "Is it about the Water Crest?"


    "Yes." Nicole nodded.


    "You called it."


    "The Eastern Falcon had withdrawn from society for years following the failure of theirst mission.For


    them to take on a new mission requires more than a simple mary reward.Everett must have ignited


    their ambitions with a grand promise of some sort," Jared theorized.


    In that same line of thought, the Water Crest was undoubtedly something that could do the job, as it


    represented guaranteed prospects of extreme wealth and unchallenged power.


    "Let''s not forget about Lawrence.They have contacted Lawrence too.Perhaps they were looking for


    confirmation," Nicole said, her gaze icy and dark.


    However, the question as to whether Lawrence and the Eastern Falcon had arrived at some kind of


    agreement was still something they could not answer.


    "Mr.Johnston.Are there still no updates from Charlie and Patricia?" Max asked.


    At present, Johnston Group''s project abroad had been secured, and Zane''s investigation had yielded


    solid evidence regarding their enemies’ motives.


    The only thing left for them to do was capture Damien and the men that the Eastern Falcon had


    deployed in San Joto.


    It was obvious that the individual who had escorted Damien away was an important contact attached to


    the Eastern Falcon in their San Joto chapter.


    Thus, it was possible that capturing him would eliminate what little influence the Eastern Falcon had left


    in San Joto.


    "They''re not back yet, and we''ve not received any sort of news from them thus far," Nicole replied.


    ‘Why aren''t there any updates yet?’ Meanwhile, Patricia was carrying a bloodied Charlie on her


    shoulder as they hurried down the mountain pass.


    "Head in there!"


    Patricia yelled in a panic.


    Concurrently, there were also a group of people at the base of the mountain screaming up at them.


    "Come on, Cap! Hurry up and get into the car!"


    Patricia looked down, and that was when she spotted one of her men inserting his key into the ignition


    box.


    Gritting her teeth, she hastened her advance and hoisted Charlie into the car.


    "Step on it!" Patricia urged.


    Then, the engine roared to life, the rear wheels of the car kicking up bits of mud as they sped off into


    the distance.
