Chapter 334: Courtesy Demands Reciprocity
Jared didn’t speak but glanced at his watch. Shortly after, the sound of a car horn echoed from outside. Nathan Lehman immediately went out. Moments later, he returned with a handsome man around twenty-seven years old.
The man saw Eagle Flies and his eyes instantly welled up with tears. “Jane!”
“Brother!” Eagle Flies looked at the man in shock. “How is this possible? Aren’t you…?”
She had seen GTO’s people kill her brother with her own eyes. No, he must be fake! He had to be!
“I didn’t die!” Ray said, his eyes red. “Ever since you were kidnapped, we searched for years without finding any trace of you. I vowed to join the national team. After graduation, I joined Captain Farrell’s team and then infiltrated GTO as an undercover agent. My identity was eventually discovered by GTO, but thanks to the captain’s thorough preparations, I was saved after being shot and thrown into a mass grave.”
Ray glanced at Jared. “It was the captain who sent someone to rescue me.”
Seeing that Jane Campbell didn’t believe him, Ray took a step forward. “Jane, I really am your brother; I’m not pretending.”
At this moment, Nathan Lehman stepped forward and untied Jane Campbell’s ropes. Jane Campbell reached out to touch Ray’s face and burst into tears. “Brother, it’s really you! You’re alive!”
She had discovered Ray’s undercover mission in GTO, and they had briefly reunited. However, Ray had to maintain his distance to complete his mission, so they hadn’t contacted each other since.
The last time she saw him was when she heard that GTO had captured an undercover agent and sent someone to eliminate Ray. She rushed to save him but received a signal from Ray not to act impulsively.
She struggled internally but ultimately refrained from intervening because she knew that if she did, both she and her brother would die. She needed to stay alive to finish what her brother couldn’t and avenge him.
“Yes, I’m alive!” Ray stepped forward and hugged her, laughing and crying. “You silly girl, why did you change your code name? If you hadn’t changed it, the captain would have known you were my sister.”
When Jane Campbell met GTO, she told them her code name was Black Fox. So the captain always thought his sister’s code name was Black Fox.
During a mission, he saw Jane Campbell and was stunned for a moment before reporting it to the captain upon returning.
“I was afraid the code name Black Fox would leave clues for GTO to find me, so I changed it.” Jane Campbell hadn’t expected that changing her code name would almost prevent her from reuniting with her brother.
“Alright! You can catch up later,” Jared suddenly interrupted them. “Jane Campbell, are you willing to talk to us now?”
After calming down, Jane Campbell turned to Jared. “I know what you’re going to ask, but I don’t know much. Orders from GTO are always delivered through micro-technology. As for the higher-ups, I only know one person named Mr. Kim.”
“Mr. Kim?” Jared frowned slightly. “Who is he?”
“I don’t know. I’m trying to gain his trust and get closer to him, but so far, I don’t even know what Mr. Kim looks like. I only know he’s in the capital. Callum Maguire and Snow Judd should have interacted with him. Mr. Kim is the second-in-command of GTO; the identity of the leader remains unknown.”
Jared and Tina both frowned simultaneously.
Second-in-command? Not only had people like Callum Maguire infiltrated GTO, but even the second-in-command had gotten involved.
After a while, Jared spoke up. “I need you to contact Mr. Kim.”
“It’s useless; Mr. Kim has an extensive information network. If my mission fails here, he’ll know immediately. I can’t go back to GTO.”
“We’ve already locked down the information immediately; my people have disguised themselves as GTO members guarding the area. You’re currently safe; I’ll give you an injection.”
Jane Campbell was taken aback. “You’re giving me something so important?”
“Yes,” Jared said. “First gain Mr. Kim’s trust.”
“What do I get in return for helping you?” Jane Campbell asked after a moment of silence.
“What do you want?”
“I want Tina to treat someone for me,” Jane Campbell replied.
Tina raised an eyebrow. “Who?”
“A child injected with some unknown substance is on the brink of death; GTO abandoned her, but I rescued her and placed her in a safe location,” Jane Campbell said.
She knew Tina’s medical skills were exceptional; saving this child would require Tina’s help.
“Alright!” Tina agreed readily.
After leaving the factory area, Jared and Tina got into their car. He turned his head and asked, “So? Did you notice anything?”
“She wasn’t lying; during the psychological test earlier, except for recognizing Ray, there were no other psychological fluctuations,” Tina said slowly.
Jared frowned again. “It seems we can’t fully trust what that informant told us; maybe Mr. Kim misled us.”
“Yes,” Tina nodded in agreement. “Regardless, we need to investigate if there have been any missing infants; virus experiments are more terrifying than drug experiments!”
The drugs her mother developed only amplified a person’s energy infinitely.
But viruses could be deployed on a large scale.
GTO’s exact goal remained unclear.
But most importantly, if infants were indeed missing, they needed to rescue those children.
“I’ll handle it,” Jared said after a pause. “Tina, I’m planning to hand over the injection to the state; if this virus issue is real, we can’t afford any mistakes.”
“Okay.” The injection wouldn’t be useful staying with her anyway.
Her lab was working on developing an antidote for the injection; results should come soon.
At that moment, Tina’s phone rang.
It was Cole.
She answered it and after listening for a bit said, “Alright, send them over.”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Hanging up the phone, Tina turned to Jared and said, “Take me back to Whispering Pines.”
Jared turned his head slightly. “Who’s coming over?”
Tina smiled mysteriously. “You’ll see when we get there.”
Jared didn’t ask further and started the car.
Half an hour later, they stopped about a kilometer away from Whispering Pines.
Soon another car arrived.
Cole got out first along with Hugo and Jennie.
Jared raised an eyebrow. “Callum Maguire? Snow Judd?”
Hugo and Jennie were actually Callum Maguire and Snow Judd in disguise.
Tina smiled knowingly. “Courtesy demands reciprocity.”
Callum Maguire and Snow Judd approached them at this point.”Miss Reed.”
“Yes,” Tina nodded slightly.”Once inside follow the same rules as before.”
“Rest assured Miss Reed; we’ll follow your instructions,” Callum Maguire replied.”But about the antidote…”
“Complete your task well; you’ll get your antidote,” Tina said calmly.
“Understood.”
