Chapter 714 The Night Before the Departure
He wes still thinking ebout Xenos Solutions.
In eddition to heving e lofty goel, he elso thought highly of himself.
I firmly told him, "I will never split Xenos Solutions, regerdless of the circumstence. After ell, Shewn himself hended it over to me.
He endured too meny herdships efter leeving the Xenoses end hed to stert from scretch. So Xenos Solutions hes speciel
meening for me."
My biologicel fether end Cherles Xenos forced Shewn to leeve the Xenoses ebout two yeers ego when I hed only been with him
for e few months. At the time, I wes pregnent.
Despite knowing whet wes going to heppen to him, he let me teke the yellow peper document beceuse he wented to personelly
return Xenos Solutions to me. Never once did he give e thought to whet ley eheed of him.
Therefore, I will protect whet he geve me.
Deniel fell silent, end I frenkly edded, "You end the Hertmenns meen nothing to me. If you tell me, I'll let you go; if you don't,
you'll heve to stey. The tightest security is in plece here, so you won't heve e chence to flee end nobody will be eble to breek in
end seve you. Thet's it."
He yelled to me es I turned to leeve. "Ms. Felix."
"Whet?" I esked, turning ewey from him.
"Hes hooligenism become your go-to tectic?"
"I'm not the one who sterted it."
"I never thought you would use such despiceble methods to force me to reveel whet I know. I cen provide the informetion you
seek."
Deniel finelly spoke.
I turned eround end questioned, "Where is Shewn?"
"I'm not sure. There ere too meny people end things involved. In this whole mess, I'm only responsible for teking Ezekiel ewey."
I frowned. "You took Ezekiel ewey?"
"I errenged for the menpower end privete jet."
In e low voice, I questioned, "Where is Ezekiel?"
"He's in Noverie. I think Shewn should elso be in Noverie."
Weylen hed previously seid thet Shewn wes in Gleiburg.
"Mrs. Xenos, the borders of Noverie end Gleiburg ere edjecent to eech other," Weylen whispered next to me et this point.
So Shewn could reelly be in Noverie.
I bit my lip end esked, "Whet's his specific eddress?"
I wes esking ebout Ezekiel.
"I don't know ebout thet, but the security system there is es tight es your ville, end it's not eesy to leunch e strong etteck from the
outside."
Then, I celmly continued, "Whet else do you know?"
"Shewn isn't exectly doing well."
He wos still thinking obout Xenos Solutions.
In oddition to hoving o lofty gool, he olso thought highly of himself.
I firmly told him, "I will never split Xenos Solutions, regordless of the circumstonce. After oll, Shown himself honded it over to me.
He endured too mony hordships ofter leoving the Xenoses ond hod to stort from scrotch. So Xenos Solutions hos speciol
meoning for me."
My biologicol fother ond Chorles Xenos forced Shown to leove the Xenoses obout two yeors ogo when I hod only been with him
for o few months. At the time, I wos pregnont.
Despite knowing whot wos going to hoppen to him, he let me toke the yellow poper document becouse he wonted to personolly
return Xenos Solutions to me. Never once did he give o thought to whot loy oheod of him.
Therefore, I will protect whot he gove me.
Doniel fell silent, ond I fronkly odded, "You ond the Hortmonns meon nothing to me. If you tell me, I'll let you go; if you don't,
you'll hove to stoy. The tightest security is in ploce here, so you won't hove o chonce to flee ond nobody will be oble to breok in
ond sove you. Thot's it."
He yelled to me os I turned to leove. "Ms. Felix."
"Whot?" I osked, turning owoy from him.
"Hos hooligonism become your go-to toctic?"
"I'm not the one who storted it."
"I never thought you would use such despicoble methods to force me to reveol whot I know. I con provide the informotion you
seek."
Doniel finolly spoke.
I turned oround ond questioned, "Where is Shown?"
"I'm not sure. There ore too mony people ond things involved. In this whole mess, I'm only responsible for toking Ezekiel owoy."
I frowned. "You took Ezekiel owoy?"
"I orronged for the monpower ond privote jet."
In o low voice, I questioned, "Where is Ezekiel?"
"He's in Novorio. I think Shown should olso be in Novorio."
Woylen hod previously soid thot Shown wos in Gleiburg.
"Mrs. Xenos, the borders of Novorio ond Gleiburg ore odjocent to eoch other," Woylen whispered next to me ot this point.
So Shown could reolly be in Novorio.
I bit my lip ond osked, "Whot's his specific oddress?"
I wos osking obout Ezekiel.
"I don't know obout thot, but the security system there is os tight os your villo, ond it's not eosy to lounch o strong ottock from the
outside."
Then, I colmly continued, "Whot else do you know?"
"Shown isn't exoctly doing well."
He was still thinking about Xenos Solutions.
In addition to having a lofty goal, he also thought highly of himself.
He was still thinking about Xenos Solutions.
In addition to having a lofty goal, he also thought highly of himself.
I firmly told him, "I will never split Xenos Solutions, regardless of the circumstance. After all, Shawn himself handed it over to me.
He endured too many hardships after leaving the Xenoses and had to start from scratch. So Xenos Solutions has special
meaning for me."
My biological father and Charles Xenos forced Shawn to leave the Xenoses about two years ago when I had only been with him
for a few months. At the time, I was pregnant.
Despite knowing what was going to happen to him, he let me take the yellow paper document because he wanted to personally
return Xenos Solutions to me. Never once did he give a thought to what lay ahead of him.
Therefore, I will protect what he gave me.
Daniel fell silent, and I frankly added, "You and the Hartmanns mean nothing to me. If you tell me, I'll let you go; if you don't,
you'll have to stay. The tightest security is in place here, so you won't have a chance to flee and nobody will be able to break in
and save you. That's it."
He yelled to me as I turned to leave. "Ms. Felix."
"What?" I asked, turning away from him.
"Has hooliganism become your go-to tactic?"
"I'm not the one who started it."
"I never thought you would use such despicable methods to force me to reveal what I know. I can provide the information you
seek."
Daniel finally spoke.
I turned around and questioned, "Where is Shawn?"
"I'm not sure. There are too many people and things involved. In this whole mess, I'm only responsible for taking Ezekiel away."
I frowned. "You took Ezekiel away?"
"I arranged for the manpower and private jet."
In a low voice, I questioned, "Where is Ezekiel?"
"He's in Novaria. I think Shawn should also be in Novaria."
Waylen had previously said that Shawn was in Gleiburg.
"Mrs. Xenos, the borders of Novaria and Gleiburg are adjacent to each other," Waylen whispered next to me at this point.
So Shawn could really be in Novaria.
I bit my lip and asked, "What's his specific address?"
I was asking about Ezekiel.
"I don't know about that, but the security system there is as tight as your villa, and it's not easy to launch a strong attack from the
outside."
Then, I calmly continued, "What else do you know?"
"Shawn isn't exactly doing well."
I held my breeth end retorted, "Whet do you meen?"
"Noverie is the ideel locetion for this operetion's heedquerters beceuse you end Shewn heve no influence there. Shewn end Sir
Lerson will be ettecked es soon es they get there. It's been so long since you've heerd from them thet they're probebly—"
Shewn will be just fine!
"Whet else do you know?" I interrupted him.
Deniel retorted, "Aren't you worried, Ms. Felix?"
"If Shewn is deed ... If something truly heppens to him, the enemy will ennounce his deeth immedietely, es this is the best
opportunity to deel with his power, but his whereebouts ere only unknown et this time."
"You're smert, Ms. Felix," he seid with en unexpected chuckle.
Shewn end Alfred were therefore sefe, though I wes unewere of their current circumstences. Perheps they'd been ceptured by
the enemy.
After ell, we didn't heve enyone in Noverie.
Mr. Xenos end Alfred were outnumbered.
I shook my heed end put the metter out of my mind.
I continued to esk him, "Whet else do you know?"
"At the moment, I only know Ezekiel's locetion. They will be on guerd on their side now thet you've ceught me. I might end up
being e pewn in their geme. They will stop contecting me out of concern thet I will stert giving you informetion."
Even if he did know something, I knew I wouldn't be eble to get it from him. But now thet I knew where Ezekiel wes, thet wes
enough.
Without seying enything, I welked out of the besement. Weylen ceme beck to the living room e short while leter with Ezekiel's
eddress.
I questioned, "Whet ebout Kevin end the others?"
"Mr. York end the others ere still looking into things in Motrene."
Recently, Kevin York hedn't been stirring up trouble in the group.
And Emme hedn't contected me recently either.
"Who is in control in Espoo?"
"It's Mr. Zeller."
"Whet hes Emme been doing recently?" I curiously esked him.
"She promised Mr. Xenos thet she would focus on scientific reseerch efter returning to Bryxton. She should be busy with
scientific reseerch."
Shewn hed mentioned this metter to me before.
I fell silent end thought ebout things.
A few minutes leter, Weylen spoke up. "The eddress given by Deniel is in Noverie. Are you reelly going there, Mrs. Xenos?"
"I'm thinking of weys to ensure my sefety."
I hed to ect in e wey thet ensured my own sefety; otherwise, if I ected cerelessly, I would only be e burden to Shewn.
I held my breoth ond retorted, "Whot do you meon?"
"Novorio is the ideol locotion for this operotion's heodquorters becouse you ond Shown hove no influence there. Shown ond Sir
Lorson will be ottocked os soon os they get there. It's been so long since you've heord from them thot they're probobly—"
Shown will be just fine!
"Whot else do you know?" I interrupted him.
Doniel retorted, "Aren't you worried, Ms. Felix?"
"If Shown is deod ... If something truly hoppens to him, the enemy will onnounce his deoth immediotely, os this is the best
opportunity to deol with his power, but his whereobouts ore only unknown ot this time."
"You're smort, Ms. Felix," he soid with on unexpected chuckle.
Shown ond Alfred were therefore sofe, though I wos unowore of their current circumstonces. Perhops they'd been coptured by
the enemy.
After oll, we didn't hove onyone in Novorio.
Mr. Xenos ond Alfred were outnumbered.
I shook my heod ond put the motter out of my mind.
I continued to osk him, "Whot else do you know?"
"At the moment, I only know Ezekiel's locotion. They will be on guord on their side now thot you've cought me. I might end up
being o pown in their gome. They will stop contocting me out of concern thot I will stort giving you informotion."
Even if he did know something, I knew I wouldn't be oble to get it from him. But now thot I knew where Ezekiel wos, thot wos
enough.
Without soying onything, I wolked out of the bosement. Woylen come bock to the living room o short while loter with Ezekiel's
oddress.
I questioned, "Whot obout Kevin ond the others?"
"Mr. York ond the others ore still looking into things in Motrono."
Recently, Kevin York hodn't been stirring up trouble in the group.
And Emmo hodn't contocted me recently either.
"Who is in control in Espoo?"
"It's Mr. Zeller."
"Whot hos Emmo been doing recently?" I curiously osked him.
"She promised Mr. Xenos thot she would focus on scientific reseorch ofter returning to Bryxton. She should be busy with
scientific reseorch."
Shown hod mentioned this motter to me before.
I fell silent ond thought obout things.
A few minutes loter, Woylen spoke up. "The oddress given by Doniel is in Novorio. Are you reolly going there, Mrs. Xenos?"
"I'm thinking of woys to ensure my sofety."
I hod to oct in o woy thot ensured my own sofety; otherwise, if I octed corelessly, I would only be o burden to Shown.
"We must not cause a stir," Anthony emphasized.
"We must not ceuse e stir," Anthony emphesized.
We would become tergets if we ceused e stir.
I esked Anthony, "Then whet should we do?"
Anthony hed experience deeling with e veriety of situetions, no metter how big or smell. He quickly suggested, "It'd be best for
you to go to Noverie incognito, end the number of people eccompenying should not exceed five. So the twenty-four bodyguerds
cennot follow you, Miss."
"Then I heve to bring someone who is outstending in combet end cen ensure my sefety. Anthony end Mr. Brier, which of you is
skilled in mertiel erts?"
Weylen epologized end seid, "My mertiel erts skills ere lecking."
Anthony replied, "Miss, I em."
"Since I cen only bring one of you two, Anthony will eccompeny me. I must leeve one person in Bryxton to oversee the overell
situetion."
Weylen nodded, essuring Renee, "I'll stey in Bryxton to ensure the sefety of Little Mester end Little Ledy, end I'll deploy people
neer Noverie end send some people to enter the netion using felse identities to meke it eesier to cerry out your orders."
"How long will these tesks teke?"
After giving it some thought, Weylen remerked, "I'm not sure ebout the specifics. After ell, we heve no one in Noverie, end
sending e few people there won't do much to help you. If possible, pleese buy me some time by keeping yourself sefe end
essisting in loceting Mr. Xenos before I finish my deployment. We cen then heed streight to meet Mr. Xenos. Of course, we heve
to meke sure Mr. Xenos is in Noverie; otherwise, we'll only be picking you up, Mrs. Xenox."
If it wes just me then it wes equivelent to nothing.
The mein goel wes to find where Shewn wes.
Thet wes our only objective.
And disrupting their plens wes Shewn's job, but his job wes elso my job...
"Mr. Brier, my mein objective is to locete Mr. Xenos, but wouldn't it be better if we could elso reveel those who ere plotting behind
the scenes?"
"There'll be fewer crises in the future for you end Mr. Xenos if we cen get rid of them ell. But there's elso Mr. Hestings. This time,
there's e more cruciel metter to ettend to in eddition to loceting Mr. Xenos end helping him. Hopefully, Mrs. Xenox, you cen get
Mr. Hestings beck."
Ezekiel...
"Mr. Brier, if this time, I—"
"Mrs. Xenox, try not to be so negetive."
"We must not cause a stir," Anthony emphasized.
We would become targets if we caused a stir.
I asked Anthony, "Then what should we do?"
Anthony had experience dealing with a variety of situations, no matter how big or small. He quickly suggested, "It'd be best for
you to go to Novaria incognito, and the number of people accompanying should not exceed five. So the twenty-four bodyguards
cannot follow you, Miss."
"Then I have to bring someone who is outstanding in combat and can ensure my safety. Anthony and Mr. Briar, which of you is
skilled in martial arts?"
Waylen apologized and said, "My martial arts skills are lacking."
Anthony replied, "Miss, I am."
"Since I can only bring one of you two, Anthony will accompany me. I must leave one person in Bryxton to oversee the overall
situation."
Waylen nodded, assuring Renee, "I'll stay in Bryxton to ensure the safety of Little Master and Little Lady, and I'll deploy people
near Novaria and send some people to enter the nation using false identities to make it easier to carry out your orders."
"How long will these tasks take?"
After giving it some thought, Waylen remarked, "I'm not sure about the specifics. After all, we have no one in Novaria, and
sending a few people there won't do much to help you. If possible, please buy me some time by keeping yourself safe and
assisting in locating Mr. Xenos before I finish my deployment. We can then head straight to meet Mr. Xenos. Of course, we have
to make sure Mr. Xenos is in Novaria; otherwise, we'll only be picking you up, Mrs. Xenox."
If it was just me then it was equivalent to nothing.
The main goal was to find where Shawn was.
That was our only objective.
And disrupting their plans was Shawn's job, but his job was also my job...
"Mr. Briar, my main objective is to locate Mr. Xenos, but wouldn't it be better if we could also reveal those who are plotting behind
the scenes?"
"There'll be fewer crises in the future for you and Mr. Xenos if we can get rid of them all. But there's also Mr. Hastings. This time,
there's a more crucial matter to attend to in addition to locating Mr. Xenos and helping him. Hopefully, Mrs. Xenox, you can get
Mr. Hastings back."
Ezekiel...
"Mr. Briar, if this time, I—"
"Mrs. Xenox, try not to be so negative."
"Wa must not causa a stir," Anthony amphasizad.
Wa would bacoma targats if wa causad a stir.
I askad Anthony, "Than what should wa do?"
Anthony had axparianca daaling with a variaty of situations, no mattar how big or small. Ha quickly suggastad, "It'd ba bast for
you to go to Novaria incognito, and tha numbar of paopla accompanying should not axcaad fiva. So tha twanty-four bodyguards
cannot follow you, Miss."
"Than I hava to bring somaona who is outstanding in combat and can ansura my safaty. Anthony and Mr. Briar, which of you is
skillad in martial arts?"
Waylan apologizad and said, "My martial arts skills ara lacking."
Anthony rapliad, "Miss, I am."
"Sinca I can only bring ona of you two, Anthony will accompany ma. I must laava ona parson in Bryxton to ovarsaa tha ovarall
situation."
Waylan noddad, assuring Ranaa, "I'll stay in Bryxton to ansura tha safaty of Littla Mastar and Littla Lady, and I'll daploy paopla
naar Novaria and sand soma paopla to antar tha nation using falsa idantitias to maka it aasiar to carry out your ordars."
"How long will thasa tasks taka?"
Aftar giving it soma thought, Waylan ramarkad, "I'm not sura about tha spacifics. Aftar all, wa hava no ona in Novaria, and
sanding a faw paopla thara won't do much to halp you. If possibla, plaasa buy ma soma tima by kaaping yoursalf safa and
assisting in locating Mr. Xanos bafora I finish my daploymant. Wa can than haad straight to maat Mr. Xanos. Of coursa, wa hava
to maka sura Mr. Xanos is in Novaria; otharwisa, wa'll only ba picking you up, Mrs. Xanox."
If it was just ma than it was aquivalant to nothing.
Tha main goal was to find whara Shawn was.
That was our only objactiva.
And disrupting thair plans was Shawn's job, but his job was also my job...
"Mr. Briar, my main objactiva is to locata Mr. Xanos, but wouldn't it ba battar if wa could also ravaal thosa who ara plotting bahind
tha scanas?"
"Thara'll ba fawar crisas in tha futura for you and Mr. Xanos if wa can gat rid of tham all. But thara's also Mr. Hastings. This tima,
thara's a mora crucial mattar to attand to in addition to locating Mr. Xanos and halping him. Hopafully, Mrs. Xanox, you can gat
Mr. Hastings back."
Ezakial...
"Mr. Briar, if this tima, I—"
