Chapter 2904


    On an unknown ind somewhere abroad, and within a mansion by the beach, Everett''s face turned


    ashen and pale upon receiving the news about everything that had happened in San Joto.


    "How did he get himself busted? Aren''t you all supposed to bepetent enough to do your jobs? Why


    the hell did you fail?" Everett bellowed, his fury reaching its peak.


    "Slow down there. I haven''t gotten to the part where you were to me. His greed was what got us all


    into this predicament in the first ce, and you know what''s the cherry on top? He got Valo busted.


    Fortunately, Scorpio managed to escape. Otherwise, all of my men would have perished in San Joto," a


    man in a ck half- mask retorted.


    “He just wanted to eliminate Nicole, which would have benefited you too. Now you''re trying to pin all


    the me on him? It''s not like you weren''t going to do the same!" Everett shot back, his teeth gritted in


    indignance.


    To Everett, those men had clearly failed to use their brains while they were on the mission. He was


    furious as they had resorted to ming his father now that everything had gone sideways on ount


    of their own mistakes.


    "If I''ve really decided to pin the me on him, do you think you would still be here spouting baseless


    usations at us?" the man in the mask asked, his voice a cold, terrifying bass.


    "You were the ones coveting the Water Crest." Everett snorted, mocking the masked man.


    Deep down, however, his arrogance and false bravado was beginning to shrink.


    The masked man then turned to re at Everett, his eyes reeking of displeasure. "That''s it. What''s


    done is done. Let''s think about how we should proceed."


    "You must rescue him. He''s been in San Joto for such a long time gathering information about the


    Water Crest for you. If he gets thrown in the mmer, my department''s efforts would all go to waste!"


    Everett barked.


    “Why didn''t you say that earlier?" The masked manined.


    If he had known this earlier, he would not have allowed Scorpio to proceed with the n that had


    gotten them busted.


    ‘We are still free to eliminate Nicole at any time, but there has been zero progress in regard to the


    Water Crest. Perhaps Damien possesses some truly important clues about Water Crest,'' the masked


    man thought.

    A sardonic smile appeared on Everett''s lips. "Why should I? Should I tell you that so that you could


    work with Lawrence and leave me in the dirt?"


    ‘Don''t you dare think I''m clueless about your sneaky little n.


    We''re allies on the surface, but you can''t say you aren''t looking for other options. That was why you


    contacted Lawrence. Well, that hasn''t escaped my notice,'' Everett thought.


    The masked man maintained his silence, exuding a frosty presence which made the air around him all


    the more oppressive and Suffocating.


    Unable to stomach the man''s frightening presence any longer, Everett gritted his teeth and softened his


    tone. "Okay. If you don''t trust me, we can part ways peacefully."


    The person standing before him was indeed not one he should ever


    trifle with. Everett had been right to be on guard against him from


    the very beginning.


    “There''s no need to rush this. After all, you have nowhere else to go now," the masked man replied, his


    tone calm andposed, making it hard to discern his true emotions.


    Hearing that, Everett became even more cautious. "You should start by finding ways to contact my


    father. Extract all the


    information he has. After all..."


    Pausing for a minute, Everett continued, "If Lawrence really is capable of getting the crest on his own,


    there would have been news of it by now."


    Everett had initially cooperated with Lawrence, but as the results were somewhat disappointing, he had


    decided to switch sides and work with the masked man instead.


    Moreover, Everett had never intended to give up any prospects of obtaining the Water Crest. While he


    had intentionally leaked information about the Water Crest, he was actually looking to snag it once all


    parties were weakened.


    Lawrence and the masked man were individuals he had to constantly watch his back around. Everett


    would be shredded to pieces if he only cooperated with either of them. But now that both parties were


    involved, Everett would have the chance to dive in once they had done all the dirty work and snatch the


    crest for himself.


    The man in the ck mask then gave Everett another frosty re. " Put your little schemes to rest if


    you will."


    Everett shrugged, seemingly indifferent to the man''s threats. Such warnings were almost meaningless


    to him at this rate. After all, there would be no need for more warnings if the man could truly afford to


    dispose of him.


    "Hmm," The masked man turned around and left.


    Everett breathed a sigh of relief once the man was gone. He knew he had to be on high alert very time


    he encountered this man. Lawrence was dead -inspiring, but the man he had just spoken to was even


    more frightening. The only saving grace was that Everett knew their threats would remain empty as


    long as he had something of value to offer them in return. In fact, their might was what made them ideal


    allies in the first ce.


    After the masked man had left, Everett turned to his henchmen and ordered, "Keep an eye on him."
