A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1300

Nonetheless, Mr. Quartus didn't mind, now that Mr. Nine had shown his true colors in front of him, indicating that they were about to be in the same boat.

With this thought, Mr. Quartus tapped the ashtray gently with his cigarette butt. "The final round, until he's safe."

He was referring to Robin's safe departure, not hers.

The fingers Mr. Nine had on the table hesitated for a few seconds, then moved again.

"Can you grant me access to the surveillance of the player room?"

Behind the scenes, the invitees couldn't access the player room's surveillance at any time. Only at the start of the game could they see it in the viewing area, it was off at other times.

"The programmer who took the fall for you today has been killed by 1-2."

The implication was refusal. Mr. Nine understood and didn't speak again.

Mr. Quartus tossed his cigarette into the ashtray and removed the mask from his head.

He threw off the heavy mask, lit another cigarette, and in front of Mr. Nine, took a deep puff.

"I'll protect that woman too, don't mess with my program again."

He didn't want to involve innocent programmers again.

Mr. Nine's stern eyes softened slightly. "Thank you."

Mr. Quartus exhaled a puff of smoke, watching Mr. Nine through the fog.

"What's your relationship with that woman?"

The moment Mr. Nine saw the woman on the monitor, he immediately stood up to hack the program. Clearly, she was an important person in his life.

Otherwise, with Mr. Nine's cold nature, he wouldn't have done such a reckless thing.
