Chapter 360
Meanwhile, the two people having dinner inside had heard the commotion
outside the door, which Claudette had chosen to ignore.
Emmanuel received a call at this time, and the caller ID displayed Eve’s
name, with whom he had recently reestablished contact. He knew her
personality well, and she wouldn’t bother talking to him if it wasn’t about
something significant. So, despite knowing that someone was causing
trouble outside, he answered the call.
“Hello, Emmanuel?”
“Yes, it’s me!”
After confirming the person’s identity on the other end of the line, she
proceeded immediately to the subject at hand. “Our old enemy has arrived in
Yeringham!”
He trembled immediately upon hearing this and whispered, “The traitor from
back then?” Then, he reflected back three years to when the person who had
betrayed the Wolf Warrior Unit’s intelligence turned out to be a
bounty–hunting undercover agent. The old Northern Region commander had
given him the person’s name before he retired, but after that, he vanished
entirely, and no one has been able to track this person down. Unexpectedly,
she now possessed information about him.
“Yes, I have his name and appearance registered. As soon as he enters
Yeringham, someone will inform me!” Eve sounded confident.
Emmanuel believed her as well. The current Eve is constantly monitoring the
situation in Yeringham, so she would be the first to know if our enemy
showed up! Unexpectedly, what they had been seeking desperately came
without any effort. “So, Eve, have you found his whereabouts?”
“Yes, he is currently at Serenity Resort!”
“What?!” He was shocked upon hearing this. Is it possible that my former
enemy is now in the same location as me? Is this a coincidence? Or…?
On the other hand, Jonathan had already approached him and lightly
tapped the table before him while smiling. “Sir, let me apologize first. This
private room is reserved for us tonight. If you leave now, I can give you a tip
as a thank you. Otherwise-” He intentionally paused mid–sentence.
After that, Emmanuel put down his phone and glanced at him without saying
a word.
Seeing that he was unmoved, Jonathan had to let his threatening words out.
“It seems you’re choosing an awkward outcome for both of us. Why bother?
It’s embarrassing for you and would be rude of us too!”
However, Emmanuel lowered his head, and just when Jonathan thought he
would give in, Emmanuel raised his knife and fork and continued cutting his
steak in front of him. After a small bite, Emmanuel looked at Claudette and
asked, “I thought you said you only invited me to your birthday tonight?”
She nodded and replied, “Yes, but some people like to come uninvited. I can’t
control them, and I’m sorry for that!”
Emmanuel sighed and complimented, “It’s all because you’re such a stunning
swan, Ms. Lenoir. I, a toad, am unworthy of you. The last time we played a
shooting video game, someone shot me, for your sake. The last time we went
Ox
bungee jumping, someone sabotaged the rope. And now, when I’m having a
meal with you, a group of people harass me and give me a hard time. When
I’m with other people, I never experience such treatment because I go to
regular restaurants where I don’t encounter these people. Dining in those
places is pleasant as everyone is polite, and there’s no barking or clamor!”
Upon hearing the word “barking,” Jonathan frowned deeply.
Still, Claudette refused to look at Jonathan, fearing it would affect her good
mood for the day. Hence, she sighed and continued apologizing, “Emmanuel,
dogs are incapable of understanding human nature. It’s hard for me to
predict what they might do!”
Emmanuel nodded and said, “Well, I don’t blame you! It’s your birthday today,
and I hope you have a pleasant time!” After saying this, he raised his glass.
Afterward, the two of them clinked glasses, completely ignoring Jonathan!
