Chapter 2935


    Lawrence was convinced that no matter who else he tried to find or what other ns he came up with,


    things wouldn’t work out.


    Scorpio’s face had turned sour, his words sharpening. “So what you’re saying is, you’d rather let that


    woman have it than us?” he asked, visibly upset.


    “Let the best person win. After all, that’s the rule with the Five Badges,”


    Lawrence shrugged, a nonchnt air about him. ‘As long as I have it, I’ll do what I want with it.’ He


    knew he needed the Water Crest, and that Nicole was his only chance. ‘Who else could pull it off?’


    Besides, he thought, ‘It’s safer with me. How could I be at ease if it’s in someone else’s hands?’ “Fine,


    then guard your Water Crest well,” Lawrence said, standing up with a hint of threat in his voice.


    Not backing down, Lawrence gave Scorpio a cold, challenging look. “You can try,” he said defiantly.


    Their meeting ended without agreement. Scorpio red at Lawrence before storming off.


    Watching Scorpio leave, Lawrence’s eyes narrowed, his gaze darkening. ‘He came to test the waters,


    but he’s clearly desperate. He might make a reckless move.’ Suddenly getting up, Lawrence headed


    upstairs. ’I can’t wait any longer for the Water Crest. I need to get it now.’ After entering his study and


    turning on hisputer, Lawrence, under a pseudonym, messaged Nn, urging him to crack the


    game soon for an early release.


    Still concerned, he sent another message to Nn under his real identity, filled with friendly words but


    also subtly reminding him that he could help with any issues.


    This way, Lawrence could stay updated on the game’s progress through Nn.


    The next day dawned bright and sunny.


    At breakfast, his family gathered in the dining room.

    “Mummy, why did you and Daddye home sotest night? Is Great Grandpa okay?” Lana asked,


    looking up with curious eyes.


    “Great Grandpa’s fine. We just stayedte chatting with your uncles and aunts,”


    Nicole exined.


    They had indeede homete, finding Nn and Lana already asleep.


    “Mummy, I got a message on myputer. They’re rushing me,” Nn looked toward Nicole.


    “When?” Nicole asked, understanding he was talking about the game.


    “This morning, but I think it was sentst night. And Godfather messaged me too,” Nn added


    hesitantly.


    “What did he say?” Nicole’s expression grew serious.


    “Just that he’s been busy with work and hasn’t contacted me in a while. He asked about how I’ve been


    and said I coulde to him for help with anything,”


    Nn replied.


    Nicole nodded, understanding Lawrence was probing Nn for information.


    She gently tousled Nn’s hair. “Let’s try tonight,” she said softly.


    “Okay,” Nn agreed.


    After breakfast, Tia took Nn and Lana to school, and Stanley went with them.


    Nicole was about to leave when Daniel stopped her. “What were you and Nn talking about?”


    He sensed something serious in their conversation.


    “It’s nothing, Dad. Nn was just ying a beta version of a game, and the developers are waiting for


    his feedback,” Nicole replied with a smile.


    She could tell Daniel was suspicious and tried to hide her emotions, not wanting to worry him.


    “Is that all?” Daniel still seemed unconvinced.
