Upon hearing her story, Donald immediately understood what she was doing in Pollerton.
The city was situated next to the sea and had four harbors within with around three thousand shipspassing through them every day.
To monitor three thousand ships a day was clearly impractical, but to shut down the four harbors wouldcost the city billions in losses.
Moreover, once the harbors were closed, Marcelo would know that the men from the laboratory wereon his tail. Thus, he would attempt to leave for Jetroina in a different way.
Taking everything into consideration, trying to track down Marcelo within a short span of time was likefinding a needle in a haystack.
That aside, Hannah was one of the key researchers at Lab 206. Hence, she was capable ofimmediately containing any potential leaks Reagent H-13 might have.
“Which team is in-charge of hunting Marcelo?”
“Kenfort Wolves,” Hannah flatly replied. “Since he's a traitor from Kenfort University of Medicine, the
responsibility of arresting him falls on someone from Kenfort.”
Donald flashed a smirk as he commented, “I'm surprised that you guys can maintain a sense of prideunder such circumstances.”
“This isn't about pride. It's a matter of principle,” Hannah declared in a serious tone.
“All right, all right. Enough talk about this. Let's eat.”
Just as Donald picked up his fork right to dig in, a man could be heard behind them exclaiming insurprise.
“Hannah? What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be away?”
Even though he had no idea who the man was, Donald could tell from the latter's words that troublewas afoot.
Brows knitted, Hannah replied in displeasure, “Braulio, how is my presence in Pollerton any of yourbusiness?”
“I'm your fiancé. Of course, it's my business. Don't I have the right to know where you are?”
“Fiancé?” Donald cocked his brow as he gave Hannah a cheeky glance.
Worried that Donald would get the wrong idea, she frantically explained, “I'm not related to him in anyway. He's just someone my mom found to matchmake me with.”
Watching Hannah deny their relationship to another man caused Braulio's expression to changedrastically.
“Who is he, Hannah?”
Hannah threw Donald a glance before she replied, “My boyfriend.”
Pfft! Donald, who was in the midst of eating, spewed out his food.
He explained himself immediately, “Hey bro, don't misunderstand. We're just ordinary friends. We're notwho she says we are.”
“Donald!”
Despite Hannah's outrage over his betrayal, Donald ignored her, he wasn't going to wear that label forher sake.
After the close shave at the mall, the last thing he wanted was to pretend to be Hannah's boyfriend, asit would be difficult to hide the fact from Jennifer.
Upon observing Donald and Hannah's reaction, Braulio broke into a sudden fit of laughter. “Hannah,even if you found someone to pass off as your boyfriend, shouldn't you get a more presentable guy?Were you actually expecting me to believe that this guy is your boyfriend? With clothes that don't evencost more than a hundred, what right does he have to be your man?”
The moment he finished, Braulio grabbed a bill from his wallet and tossed it in front of Donald.
