‘Now that I think about it, doesn't Collin sound similar to Allan, the new researcher at Bonnie's research institute? I always found Allan's voice familiar. Now, I think the answer is within reach after I heard Collin's voice. Moreover, their names sound so familiar. Is it just a coincidence?’
Floyd considered it and responded, "Their voices sound similar, but it has got to be a coincidence. Do you honestly think the people at Nidhogg are somehow connected to Ms. Bonnie?"
"You say that, but this is too much of a coincidence. Something feels strange." Ivor pursed his lips and fell into deep thought.
Floyd was about to say something, but he heard Collin's voice from the other end of the phone.
"Do you have something else to say? If you don't, then I'm going to hang up now. I want you guys to refrain from calling and asking about my chief's progress.
"Once the time is right, she'll give us a call and tell us to begin the operation. If you're patient enough to wait for it, great. If you're not, then the collaboration is off."
The Nidhogg was a rival of the Dark Knights to begin with. So, he hated and despised them in the first place. After all, they were too cunning for his taste.
He heard they were just looking out for themselves and disregarded Bonnie's safety. They kept nagging and urging for an update, which infuriated him. Naturally, he sounded harsh when he talked to them.
Realizing Collin was speaking rather aggressively, Floyd couldn't help but frown. However, he didn't say anything about it. Instead, he responded to Collin according to Ivor's orders.
"I'm sorry about it. My leader is facing some emergencies and needs to handle other issues. That's why we've been pressing you guys for an update.
"We shouldn't have put the pressure on you guys. I'm sorry. Rest assured, though. It won't happen again. We won't urge you for an update anymore. We'll wait for your leader's news and begin the operation when he gives the word."
Collin saw they offered sincere apologies and began speaking gentler, "Mhm. I'm glad you guys understand. It's dangerous enough for my chief to infiltrate Billy's organization. It's seriously not cool for you guys to keep pushing for an update.
