    **Chapter 558 The Factory Secret**


    Duncan felt the weight of his emotions pressing down on him, but he quickly shifted the conversation, forcing himself to swallow the bitterness that threatened to spill over.


    “Uncle Jackson, do you remember that guy, Nichs? Do you know where he is now in Zone B?” he inquired, trying to sound casual, though his heart raced with anticipation.


    “What’s got you so curious about him?” Jackson’s voice crackled through the line, gruff and tinged with irritation, as if he were already weary of the conversation.


    “Oh,e on! It’s just a simple question. Did you forget how you promised my mom that you’d keep an eye on me?” Duncan pressed, his voice rising slightly in urgency.


    “Keep an eye on you? All day long, you’re asking for this and that—what do you think I am, a wishing machine?” Jackson snapped back, his tone sharp like the edge of a knife.


    Duncan felt his shoulders tense, and he instinctively recoiled, casting a furtive nce at Steven. The way Steven’s brow furrowed and his eyes darted toward Duncan’s left side made Duncan’s heart skip a beat. Anxiety gripped him like a vise.


    “Uncle Jackson!” he yelped, panic flooding his voice.


    “Alright, alright! Juste to my office in Zone B,” Jackson finally relented, his voice heavy with resignation.


    A wave of relief washed over Duncan, easing the tension etched on his face. He turned to Steven, a hopeful grin spreading across his features. “Hehe, see? That worked, right? Can I go now?”


    For the first time, a flicker of warmth crossed Steven’s face, a faint smirk ying at the corners of his lips.


    Duncan’s heart soared with joy, only to plummet just as quickly.


    “I’m new here,” Steven said, his voice steady and calm. “I don’t know where that office is. You’ll take me there.”


    Duncan’s face fell, the weight of despair settling on him. He felt tears prick at the corners of his eyes when Steven suddenly grabbed him by the cor, dragging him forward with an unyielding grip.


    Zone B buzzed with life, the factory’s busiest area. Workers flowed like a relentless river, moving back and forth in a chaotic dance ofbor. Duncan and Steven chose the most crowded path, weaving through the throng. No one paid them any mind; they blended in seamlessly, just two more faces in a sea of anonymity.


    In truth, Duncan was somewhat recognizable around the factory, but with Steven’s firm hand pressing down on the back of his neck, he was forced to keep his head low, avoiding any unwanted attention.


    After what felt like an eternity of navigating through the bustling crowd, they finally arrived at the office Jackson had mentioned.


    Knock, knock!


    “Come in,” came the muffled reply from within.


    Steven pushed the door open and stepped inside, swiftly locking it behind him.


    Jackson, who had been seated at his desk, puffing on a cigarette, froze mid-drag. He nced up, and his heart sank as he was met with the chilling sight of an unfamiliar face. A gut instinct told him something was terribly wrong.


    “Who are you?!” he barked, the authority in his voice faltering as he took in the scene.


    Then he noticed Steven’s hand firmly mped over Duncan’s nose, a gesture that sent a jolt of rm through him.


    “Duncan!” Jackson shouted, springing to his feet so abruptly that his chair crashed against the wall with a loud bang, the sound echoing in the small office.


    Steven frowned slightly, his expression unyielding. “If you make too much noise…”


    His warning hung in the air, heavy and unspoken.


    Jackson hesitated, confusion washing over him. He watched as Steven’s fingers tightened their grip, and within moments, Duncan’s face flushed a deep crimson.


    Panic washed over Jackson as he realized the precariousness of the situation. He waved his hands frantically, stammering, “Alright, alright! I’ll be quiet! Just don’t hurt him!”


    He only had one nephew, and his sister had drilled it into him countless times to take good care of Duncan. The thought of anything happening to him here sent a chill down his spine.


    When Steven’s gaze shifted toward the chair across from Jackson, the foreman understood immediately. Without missing a beat, he rushed over, pulling the chair out for Steven and then hastily dragging another one for Duncan, who looked utterly lost.


    Once the chairs were in ce, Jackson sank back into his seat, his earlier bravado evaporating, reced by a nervous politeness.


    “So… what’s really going on here?” he asked, his voice cautious, darting between Steven and Duncan, searching for clues.


    “No wonder this kid’s been rambling on about someone named Nichstely. Are you trying to dig up information about him?” Jackson ventured, piecing together the odd questions that had been thrown at him.


    Jackson had wed his way up the ranks in the factory through sheer determination and skill; he wasn’t easily fooled. The more he considered the strange inquiries, the more the pieces began to align in his mind.

    Meanwhile, Steven had little patience for idle chatter. Smart individuals didn’t need their thoughtsid out in front of them. He raised his gaze, locking eyes with Duncan, whose fear was palpable, and slowly loosened his grip.


    As soon as the pressure around his neck eased, Duncan’s eyes widened in relief. He bolted toward Jackson, sobbing as he clung desperately to his uncle’s arm.


    “Uncle Jackson, you’ve got to save me! He broke into my dorm room—the one you gave me—and he hurt me! Look at my butt!”


    Before anyone could intervene, Duncan began to tug at his pants, desperate to reveal the evidence of his supposed torment. Jackson’s brow twitched in horror, and with a swift motion, he smacked Duncan’s hand away, the sharp sound ringing in the room.


    “Enough, you embarrassing fool!” he eximed, rubbing his forehead in exasperation, utterly speechless.


    Forcing a strained smile, he stood and poured a cup of tea for Steven, attempting to regain some semnce of control.


    “I’m not sure what brings you here,” Jackson said carefully, “but surely you didn’te all this way just to ask about Nichs?”


    Steven’s voice remained calm, carrying an unmistakable authority that brooked no argument.


    “That’s not something I can disclose. But regarding Nichs—tell me everything you know.”


    His tone was firm, leaving no room for hesitation.


    Jackson stared at the man before him—calm,posed, and sharp-eyed. There was something about Steven’s presence, a quiet power that made him tense without even realizing it. His gaze flicked toward the locked door, a reminder that this was not just a casual conversation.


    After all, he wasn’t merely another worker; he was a foreman in this factory, someone who held ess to sensitive information. He couldn’t just spill everything to a stranger, no matter how intimidating that stranger appeared.Conclusion
