Chapter 540

Karl stood there, staring at the center.

The New York sky was gray and heavy. The hazy sky seemed covered by a layer of gray gauze. But right now, that weather was nostalgic in Karl’s eyes.

Because his daughter was there.

As he stared, his phone suddenly rang. He answered the call and a voice came from the other end. “Aren’t you going to leave?” Karl was silent for a moment before he said, “If I leave like this, I’ll never be able to come back!”

Escaping from prison would add to his crime.

He might even be killed during the capture!

The other party scoffed. “You shouldn’t have come back in the first place. All you have to do is complete the mission and bring those people back. Why are you meddling, have you forgotten about your murder case?”

“It’s too late! You’re already on this path. There is no turning back. Go abroad immediately and await my orders.”

Karl took a deep breath. After a moment, he said, “Agreed.”

“Once he flees, he will be a fugitive if he returns. He probably won’t be able to return to the country for the rest of his life.” Morris was still talking. “Besides, this case itself has many suspicious points. If he leaves like this, he will be associated with the mysterious organization forever. Maybe New York will also be hostile to the Assassins Alliance in the future!”

Nora: “…”

She hesitated for a moment before finally saying, “Is it that easy to escape from the special department’s prison?”

Morris felt offended!

He coughed and explained, “Our prison is impenetrable. Not even a cannon will be able to open the door.”

Nora asked, “So, how did he escape?”.

Morris sighed. “He had the key.”

“…” Nora was speechless again. Then she shook her head and said, “How long had it been from the time he escaped until you discovered him?”

Morris was silent again. “Five hours.”

“…” Nora pursed her lips. “Five hours – hadn’t you noticed?”

Morris knew Nora didn’t mean to belittle him, but he still felt a twinge of pain in his heart. He coughed and said, “Some surveillance cameras were replaced across the street, so no one noticed I’d escaped. I thought about his daughter’s wedding tomorrow, so I wanted to use that as an argument and persuade him again. I only realized he wasn’t in when I pushed open the door.”

Nora held her chin and continued, “Okay, then I get it. There are spies in the special department.”

Morris didn’t answer or say yes or no, which meant he was probably suspicious as well.

After a while, Morris said, “We’ll put a surveillance camera around Tanya tomorrow, do you think she’ll come in?”

Nora was silent for a moment. After a while, she sighed. “I don’t know.” She really couldn’t tell what was more important between Karl’s life and her daughter’s wedding.

He hung up and lay down on the bed.

After thinking about it for a while, she texted Justin, “Help me hack into the system and investigate Leonel’s case.”

Justin called her immediately. When she answered, she could hear the sound of the keyboard. The man laughed and said, “Why don’t you do it yourself.”

Nora yawned. “I’m tired.”

Justin nodded.

Then, he logged in. After two minutes, he said, “No records.”

Leonel’s case was public record, so why were there no records?

Nora frowned and looked thoughtful when Justin said, “Oh, no.”

Nora was taken aback. “What’s wrong?”

Justin coughed. “I’ve been found out.”

Nora: “?”

How could he have been found out?

As she thought, she heard Justin say, “Last time, we were both doing it. We probably set something off accidentally. The hackers in the special department targeted us. Before, I was in a hurry to find the answer and didn’t realize it. Now, the other party has set up a passage to chat with me. It has asked me who I am.”

Nora: “?”

She hesitated for a moment and asked, “So, what did you say?”

Justin laughed, “I said I’m Q.”

Nora: “!!!”

Why did he have to hold the punch?

She grimaced. “¿Y?”

Justin laughed again. “I’m being recruited and they want me to work for the special department.”

Nora: “…”

The corners of her mouth twitched. Before she could ask, Justin said again, “I turned it down.”

Nora responded with an “oh.” Then, she heard the man in front of her chuckle softly. Nora asked, “What’s wrong?”

Justin smiled, “It’s nothing.”

His tone was full of mockery.

Nora ignored him. “Stop talking. You’ve exposed your identity. I’m not going to bail you out when you get caught.”

Justin laughed. “Don’t worry. If I get caught, I’ll be Q and you’ll be Y.”

With the identities of Q and Y, could they still play with each other like this?

Nora didn’t bother with him anymore and hung up the phone.

The next day was Tanya and Joel’s wedding.

The wedding was held at the Grand Hotel in New York. The Smiths had booked the entire hotel. Although Tanya kept repeating that she didn’t want to have a big wedding, Joel disagreed. He even increased the scale of the wedding after discussing it with Karl.

The hotel had originally been booked by someone. Joel had to pay 10 times the price to snatch it from someone else. Of course, this was not important.

What was important was…

That it was rare for Nora to get up early! The wedding was at noon, so Tanya had to get up at six o’clock to put on her makeup, change clothes and get ready to go to the hotel. Nora’s mission today was to accompany her the whole time.

After the alarm she had set went off three times, she got out of bed lazily and went outside with narrowed eyes.

As soon as she stepped out, she saw Joel standing in the doorway, looking at her with a faint smile.

Nora was taken aback. “What’s going on?”

Joel said, “The special department called me last night and wanted me to give them contact information for Q. I told them he was overseas. The special department went on to say that they wanted to recruit an expert hacker like Q and asked me if there was anything else that could convince him, other than that fetish…”

Nora: “???”

She asked curiously, “What fetish?”

What did Justin say yesterday?

Joel looked at her and laughed. “Yes, I asked this question too. So, I got the answer that …”
