SWNOVELS Chapter 585: Jared Resigns
Rachel met Warren Pace's gaze, her heart tightened, and she guiltily lowered her head before hurrying back to her room. Only after regaining her composure did she realize she had broken out in a cold sweat. She soon felt an unbearable itching all over her body; she scratched incessantly, but the itching wouldn't stop. It felt as though countless insects were crawling all over her. Then, she felt an intense cold seeping into her bones, as if she had fallen into an ice cave. In the courtyard, Tina withdrew her hand, her face expressionless. The reason she hadn't fatally poisoned Rachel was that something odd had caught her attention. In this world, there was only one type of poison undetectable to her-Natalie's poison. Yet, Rachel had somehow managed to procure it! Warren Pace also quietly withdrew his hand. Although he couldn't kill her yet, as he still needed her to investigate GTO, making her suffer was still feasible. Experiencing the sensation of being enveloped by fire after falling into an ice cave wasn't too bad.
"Tina, I will definitely get to the bottom of this. You've been wronged," Grandpa Brookes said sternly to Tina. Even though he believed Rachel wouldn't do such a thing, it didn't mean the juice was poison-free. Tina would never lie, nor would Warren Pace help her expel the juice without good reason.
"Grandpa, don't worry about it, I'm fine," Tina said with a smile, not wanting Grandpa Brookes to worry. She would handle this matter herself.
"Dad, let me help you back, Mr. Pace still has to give you... Hey, where is Mr. Pace?" Jack was startled and looked around, but Warren Pace was nowhere to be seen.
Tina turned around, and indeed, he had silently slipped away again! Last time, Tina hadn't been on alert, but this time she had been vigilant. Yet, he had managed to escape! Grandpa Brookes also just remembered that it had been a long time since he had heard Master Tam's voice. Looking back, except for a big smiling face hanging on the old banyan tree, there was no one around!
"That old bastard, I'll sort him out someday!" Master Tam cursed.
"It's okay, Grandpa, I'll catch him!" Tina reassured, then chased after him. She had installed a tracker on Warren Pace earlier. Now, the tracker was moving in a certain direction. However, when Tina reached the crossroads, she found the tracker scattering in different directions towards different exits.
Tina squinted her eyes and looked carefully at those locations. Together, they formed a sentence! "Tina, you're still green!"
Tina, furious, punched a nearby wall, causing it to crack. But she also knew that her current strength was not even half that of her mother's. She needed much more training. One day, she would definitely catch up with Natalie.
In the shadows, Master Tam took a sharp breath and said to Warren Pace, "You're done for. With your daughter this angry, you're not going to have any good days."
Warren Pace curved his lips into a smile, looking at Master Tam, "No worries, the one without good days will be you."
Master Tam then realized that although Tina couldn't find Natalie, she could certainly find him! "Neither of you mother and daughter are good!" Master Tam cursed.
Natalie's smile deepened, "Old master, I learned from the best, goodbye." With that, Natalie swiftly ran off. She had important matters to attend to.
Rachel had managed to make contact with GTO, and the purpose behind it was definitely not simple.
Elsewhere, in the X Bureau. Jared typed the last word on his keyboard and printed the document. The bold four-word title flashed before Jared's eyes.
In those calm, dark eyes, deep reluctance was reflected. He sat in his chair, taking a moment before rising and heading to the director's office. When Linden saw the documents in Jared's hands, his face filled with surprise. "Jared, are you sure you want to do this?" Linden furrowed his brows, puzzled, trying to discern any hint of jest in Jared's eyes. However, there was none.
Jared coldly met Linden's gaze, stating emphatically, "Yes, I want to resign."

Linden slapped the resignation letter on the desk and paced furiously around the office. "Jared, do you realize what you are doing? I know you don't agree with me, and you hold a grudge over Hayden's matter, but this shouldn't lead to resignation. Are you out of your mind?"
He was truly angry. Jared was a rare talent in the X Bureau, outstanding both in strategy and combat, the youngest deputy director with an unlimited future. Even after a recent incident that almost tarnished the bureau's reputation, he had been merely warned, not penalized-such was his value.
But now, Jared was choosing to resign voluntarily. It was madness!
Jared's expression remained calm, his resolve firm, "I've thought this through."
Linden's hands trembled in the air; had Jared been his own disciple, he would have slapped him already. "What about Everett's case? You're abandoning GTO? And now with Christopher still under investigation, you just walk away? Jared, is resigning over this issue really worth it?"
Jared looked at Linden, his expression as composed as ever, impervious to the turmoil around him. "I will handle the master's situation and GTO in my own way. As for the boss, that's the next matter I need to discuss with you." Linden paused, eyeing Jared suspiciously, unable to grasp what Jared was truly planning. After a long moment, he finally spoke, "What exactly are you trying to say?"
Jared sat down, his demeanor that of someone accustomed to authority, each movement exuding nobility. Facing Linden, he was different than before. Previously, no matter how angry, he had interacted with Linden as a deputy director. But now, he seemed more like a high-ranking negotiator. This meeting had transformed into a negotiation with Jared's shift in stance.

"You don't need to know the reasons for my resignation. Just know that even if I leave X Bureau, I will not cease the investigation into GTO."
Linden understood that if Jared left the X Bureau, it might actually be more convenient for his actions. He no longer needed to consider as many factors.
"Go on," Linden said, settling back into his chair. As the head of Shaw Industries Group, he was adept at negotiations.
Jared narrowed his eyes slightly, "I want Christopher reinstated."
"He has been my rival for a long time. Only if you meet certain conditions, can I agree," Linden replied.
Jared pulled a business card from his pocket, displaying just a name and a phone number.
Linden took it, his eyes slightly widening, "You are Mr. Daryl!"
Mr. Daryl, the enigmatic head of a mysterious syndicate, his true identity and whereabouts unknown to anyone. Even X Bureau had not managed to unravel his secrets. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Jared!
