Julian found nothing unusual from Charlie's words.
However, he quietly pricked his ears, ready to listen to Charlie's phone conversation. Since Kathleen paid so much attention to Charlie, he wanted to see if he could retrieve any useful information.
At the same time, Charlie glanced at Julian. When their eyes met, he held his phone with one hand and raised his other hand to greet Julian.
Julian didn't think much of it, and nodded back as a polite greeting.
Charlie then walked in Julian's direction. He took out a cigarette from his pocket and pretended like he was about to put it into his mouth.
It was common for people to smoke a cigarette while answering the phone. Therefore, Julian wasn’t alerted at all.
What Julian didn’t know was that Charlie didn’t smoke. Charlie had specifically requested a box of cigarettes from Albert's men before coming here.
Porter then said on the phone, "Mr. Wade, our intelligence network has come back with an answer. Regarding Kylie Jane, her real name is Kathleen Fox. She's the daughter of the Fox family..."
Julian was a six-star martial artist and could hear
everything Porter said clearly. When he overheard Kathleen's name, his pupils dilated in fear!
He immediately looked at Charlie, his eyes filled with hostility and a desire to kill.
At that instance, he still didn't realize how dangerous Charlies could be. He never expected Charlie to have a way to figure out Kathleen's real identity!
That also meant Kathleen and his identity were already exposed. Kathleen, who was still in the room, might be in danger at any time!
He looked at Charlie and questioned, "Who are you?!"
Charlie said with a smile, "I haven't even questioned you, so why are you questioning me first? I'm Charlie Wade. My name is real, unlike Ms. Fox, who's sitting i n the room with another identity.”
