Bonnie’s eyebrows raised slightly in amusement when she looked at Billy standing at the doorway.
Come to think of it, didn't she lock the door? How did Billy manage to come in?
But then again, this was Billy's territory after all. He would have ways to unlock a locked door, which wasn't all that surprising.
Billy looked at Falcon, who was shrinking in fear, his face suddenly darkening further before he sneered.
"Speak! Tell me the reason! Falcon, just because I value you doesn't mean you can deceive me so recklessly! Let me tell you, I detest deception the most. Even if it benefits you, deceiving me will not end well for you!"
Falcon could not help but tremble and then swallow hard before explaining, "Mr. Billy, the reason I did not place the real chip in your organization is because the value of this chip is too high. It would inevitably attract people with evil intentions. For safety's sake, I took it upon myself to move the chip elsewhere."
At this, he lowered his head with an apologetic tone. "Mr. Billy, what I did was wrong, but I did it for our interests. I hope you can understand me."
Billy had known for a long time that Falcon had replaced the actual chip. However, knowing that Falcon alone could not find a way to crack it, he had let him do as he wished.
This time, he deliberately intruded into Barrett's room to question Falcon about this matter, not to interrogate him, but to use this incident to intimidate Falcon into behaving better and not doing such double-dealing things in the future.
With this thought in mind, Billy's expression softened a bit.
