Hearing Janet’s murmur, Mason felt better as the only thing he feared was that she was ignoring him and no longer wanted to speak with him.
“I heard from them that it didn’t take long for you to notice them. Is that right?” Mason pursed his lips and chuckled.
Janet puckered up her lips and responded, “Are you proud of that? They mustn’t have been trained properly that even a civilian lady like me could spot them.”
Mason chuckled as he heard this, and his deep and magnetic voice sounded out as he tried to convince her, “How about you come back and train them?”
“No way. I can’t do that. I don’t know anything else apart from poking people with needles,” Janet replied rather relaxedly.
Mason’s words were easy for her to misunderstand that he had already found out her real identity.
“When will you be back?’ Mason paused before asking.
“Either tonight or tomorrow.”
Janet stared at him, not having any particular expression on her face.
“Anything else?” Looking rather calm and emotionless, Janet kept looking at the figures on the big screen.
I still have to deal with the people from Black Rain tonight, so I’m not going to say too much to expose myself.
“Nothing. Stay safe, alright?”
After he said this, Janet hung up.
Just a few seconds later, her deep and profound gaze fell on the screen again as she instructed in a calm, yet powerful voice, “We’ll head out at 10 PM tonight!”
The rest of the people around the conference table all turned to the clock; it was already 9 PM right now.
Then, they nodded and responded in reverence, “Yes, Boss!”
It was a loud response as more than a dozen of them shouted and the sound rang through the entire basement.
After the video call, Mason felt somewhat flustered as Janet’s rather cold and distant voice reminded him of the time when they first met.
Rubbing his temples, Mason felt annoyed for no reason.
He wanted to go to Markovia right now, but he feared that Janet would feel more annoyed by him.
Therefore, late at night, Mason took his black Maybach and headed toward the Lowry Family’s training base.
That night, every assistant who was there was beaten up by Mason.
“Is that all you’ve got?’ Half-naked with his tanned chest exposed, Mason gasped and sounded hoarse.
“Mason, I can’t do this anymore!” Henry begged as he tried to catch his breath.
It was supposed to be a friendly match, but Henry had turned into a punching bag.
“Useless!” Looking stern, Mason proceeded to take off his boxing gloves and sat down on a couch.
Meanwhile, Henry turned to Sean, who gave him a blink and looked innocent. Sean had no idea what happened. The last thing he remembered was that Mason had a video call with Janet.
Henry exhaled, reckoning that this must have had something to do with Janet again.
Ever since Mason met her, he had never been normal.
He would have frequent mood swings, and even if he was in a good mood, he would react in the most unexpected ways.
Whatever it was, Mason had never been normal since then.
……..
After that night, Janet’s movements attracted Black Rain’s attention.
“Young Master Mason, there’s an unknown force approaching Sandfort City!” Mason received this report when he was in the basement. Right away, he rushed over to the scene.
Janet did not expect Black Rain to take action so quickly.
“Boss, something’s happened! Black Rain found out about our mission.” The person in front had also spotted one of Black Rain’s vehicles.
Janet responded calmly with a chuckle, “What are you afraid of? Look at how worried you are!”
She still wanted to play games with Black Rain.
Black Rain’s people were blocking the way.
Red Python frowned, staring straight ahead. “Didn’t they say there was a mysterious force? Why don’t I see anything?”
One of the assistants chuckled. “Those b*stards knows that our Young Master Mason is here, so they’re probably scared!”
Those words were followed by a tremendous cheer. “No wonder. They’re such cowards!
The moment the sentence ended, something lit up in front of them. A Land Rover stopped and the people in there started yelling toward Black Rain’s people, “Let’s see who are the real cowards. Our boss is coming!”
Upon hearing that, Mason, who was sitting in the car, looked up. His emotions were hidden underneath a silver mask. No one could tell what he was thinking.
