Chapter 602
Ronn offered James a cigarette
James accepted
“Any news about Jonathan yet?”
Since Jonathan and his cronies went to so much trouble, they must have something else in mind other than attacking the Solean doctor’s
James still could not figure out what it was
Ronn shook his head. “We’ve been keeping tabs on Jonathan. After he left yesterday, he hasn’t appeared again.”
James asked, “Did you manage to find out what their plans are?”
Ronn looked somber.
James glanced at him before saying, “Be honest.”
Ronn said, “We obtained some information. According to our intel, Universal Hospital has set up a research lab at Lily City three months ago. Its location is hidden within a mountain, heavily guarded with trained armies round the clock. Our intelligence network could not get through either. We don’t know what they’re researching.”
“A secret research lab?”
James narrowed his eyes.
If the lab had something to do with the medical conference, they had been planning this when they resigned and came to Cansington. “Are they the Red Flame army?”
Ronn shook his head. “We’re unable to confirm.”
“Keep a close eye on the lab and Universal Hospital. Make sure you don’t let Jonathan or the Emperor out of your sight. Report to me at once if you notice anything unusual.”
“Yes, sir.”
“What about news on Sovereign Antique Shop?” Ronn shook his head. “Everything seems normal. There’s nothing new. There were rumors that the treasure from the Prince of Orchid Mountain’s tomb was spotted at the shop, but it was never confirmed.”
“Make sure you keep an eye on the shop.”
“Yes, sir.”
“Send the assassins to me.”
“Yes, sir.”
Ronn turned to leave.
Soon, the assassins that he recruited appeared.
“Mr. Caden.”
All of them greeted James simultaneously
James looked at them, saying, “Disguise yourselves. From tomorrow onward, you’re to protect Thea around the clock. If she loses one hair on her head, you’re better off removing your own before you see me.”
“So many of us to protect Thea?”
James had a cold expression on his face. “You have objections?”
“Mr. Caden, we’re the best assassins there are, yet you’re sending us to watch over a woman Isn’t it a waste of our talents?”
James took a deep breath. “Thea’s everything to me. Her safety is what matters most. Do as I say, but don’t let her discover you, or interfere with her life.”
“Yes, sir.”
The assassins agreed reluctantly.
“You can leave now. Since there are so many of you, take turns to carry out the mission. I’ll leave it to you to decide.”
All of them nodded and left.
James leaned against the couch, lost in his thoughts.
Soon, he became sleepy.
There was a room within the underground basement.
He made a beeline for the room to rest.
In a semi-conscious state, he heard noises.
