I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) novel Chapter 1026

Collin nodded and immediately said, "I'll send a message to deploy additional personnel to assist them."

He looked at the pile of disarmed traps in the corner, his voice filled with anger. "Falcon set up so many traps, clearly wanting to kill you. You treated him so well, and that ungrateful scum dared to do this to you. It's infuriating just to think about it."

Bonnie shook her head. "The Falcon I painstakingly trained is already dead. The current one is merely a thief and traitor who stole my chip. There's no need to get angry over such a person. We just need to capture him and deal with him according to the rules."

Her tone was so calm, yet it sent shivers down one's spine. Even Collin, who had been by her side for a long time, shuddered when he heard her speak this way. Collin could foresee the miserable fate awaiting Falcon once he was captured.

However, he wouldn't sympathize with someone like Falcon; he would only feel satisfaction. After all, a despicable traitor deserved nothing less than a punishment worse than death.

Ivor listened to the conversation and offered, "I can send some of my people to help you capture Falcon. Do you need them?"

Bonnie glanced at him indifferently. "While I appreciate your offer, there's something wrong with the way you put it."

"What's wrong with it?" Ivor didn't quite catch her meaning.

"Falcon took 1.6 billion from you. Sending your people is for your benefit, not for mine. So, don't talk about assisting me."

Bonnie had seen through Ivor's ulterior motives. He deliberately phrased it as assisting her, hoping to make her owe him a favor and use that as leverage for future negotiations. However, Bonnie wasn't naive and wouldn't fall into the trap he set so easily.

Ivor looked at Bonnie with a gradually deepening gaze. ‘I knew the Nidhogg leader was sharp and wise, but I didn't expect him to see through my intentions so effortlessly. Such a person is indeed frighteningly perceptive. Fortunately, I’m the one dealing with him. Anyone else would likely be outmatched.’

Ivor reined in his expression slightly and smiled at Bonnie. "We are allies, after all. Is it necessary to draw such clear lines?"

Seeing him continue to play dumb, Bonnie clarified, "Of course it's necessary. I don't want to owe you any favors without reason. Even close brothers settle accounts, let alone us."

Ivor looked surprised for a time before grinning, though his eyes showed little warmth. "Your level of caution is a bit excessive."

Bonnie raised an eyebrow and retorted, "And you're not?"

Ivor was momentarily speechless, then responded after a pause, "I thought that after what we just went through, we were already friends. I didn't expect you to be so guarded against me. It makes me a bit sad."

Bonnie smirked slightly and glanced at him. "You're sad? I can't tell. Why don't you cry for me to see?"
