Chapter 1034
Meanwhile, the progress made by Zephyr and his team was swift.
In less than ten minutes, all the patrolling personnel were indeed taken care of.
Seeing the right opportunity, Nathaniel immediately dispatched his men to infiltrate!
TorrentCloud was far from idle on his end, his fingers flying over the keyboard so fast they were almost a blur,expertly managing the entire area's surveillance system.
Before long, a group of people successfully infiltrated the mansion.
However, the process was not as easy as they had anticipated.
In the end, they had underestimated the defenses there. A few minutes later, the hidden system in the mansionarea was triggered.
The alarm sounded, piercing the silent darkness of the night, making it particularly noticeable.
Everyone inside was startled, and in an instant, gunshots rang out from all directions!
In Kingsview, Jean held Neera in his arms, wishing for a peaceful night's sleep.
The next morning, he woke up earlier than Neera.
His sleepy eyes became clear, looking at the person sweetly sleeping in his arms. As a result, his mood was quitegood. He gently pressed a kiss on her forehead.
Not wanting to wake her, he carefully got out of bed. After freshening up and changing his clothes, he wentoutside for a run.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he descended the stairs, he saw Ian hurriedly walking in from outside. novelbin
“Mr. Beauvort, you're awake!” Ian greeted with a serious expression.
Jean nodded slightly. “What is it? Go on.”
“The matter with Mr. Leyva has already come to a close.”
“And the result?” Jean asked, cutting straight to the point.
After a brief hesitation, Ian steeled himself and responded, “There's good news and bad news. The bad news isthat Asher has escaped. Last night, Mr. Leyva and his team were making good progress, but unexpectedly, agroup of people came to aid Asher midway. Even though Mr. Leyva and his team were prepared and had madeprior arrangements, they were still somewhat caught off guard due to the chaotic situation.”
Seeing Jean's face darken, Ian swallowed nervously and quickly tried to remedy the situation.
“The good news is that we've taken down the black market's lair. Storm said that we've gathered plenty ofevidence of black market crimes, including many significant illegal transactions. Additionally, we've identifiedsome of the black market's other domestic bases. It turns out that there are several hidden ones in thesouthwestern region!”
This good news didn't satisfy Jean.
What he cared about the most was still Asher. That was of paramount importance.
Their actions this time had already alerted the enemy. Now that the target had fled, they would undoubtedly be oneven higher alert. Catching them again would only be more difficult.
Moreover, if the target were not eradicated completely, it'd provide the other party a chance to make a comebackafter a setback.
Ian carefully observed the expression on Jean's face, his heart trembling with apprehension. All he could do wastry his best to soothe him.
“Mr. Beauvort, please don't worry. Although Asher has escaped, he can't hide forever. We've already taken controlof many of his strongholds, leaving him with fewer places to hide. Moreover, his current situation is no differentfrom a person everyone scorns. Storm and Cloud have already gone to track him down, and Mr. Leyva has alsoissued a comprehensive arrest warrant. He even blocked all the exit and entry points in advance. At present, it'scertain that he is still in the country. As long as we seal off and investigate, there's a high chance of finding him.”
Upon hearing that, Jean gave him a nonchalant glance, his expression finally showing a slight improvement.
After his run, he returned home to find that Neera was already awake.
“You've been working out, haven't you? I looked everywhere and couldn't find you. I thought you had gone to theoffice early.”
Seeing the man dressed in the unusual sportswear, Neera couldn't help but laugh.
“Good. Exercising is beneficial, but don't overdo it. Take it easy.”
Jean chuckled as he pinched her cheek. “Understood, Ms. Garcia. I'll be sure to follow your medical advice.”
Neera smiled faintly, nudging him up the stairs. “Go and take a shower if you're sweaty. We'll have breakfasttogether when you're done.”
Jean cheerfully agreed, “All right.”
Half an hour later, the two of them ate breakfast together.
Neera took a bite of the boiled egg that Jean had peeled for her and asked, “Do you have any free time today?”
Jean looked at her. “What's the matter?”
“Mmm... there is something. I want to take my granddad and granny to see my mother, and I was thinking ofbringing you along, too.”
This was a big deal for Jean, so he immediately agreed.
This action of the young lady clearly indicated that she intended to introduce him to his future mother-in-law.How could he possibly miss it?
