SWNOVELS Chapter 2015
Chapter 2015: The Special Pen
On the other side.
As the evening approached, Karl arrived. Joyce and Luther were waiting for him in the reception room of the manor. Stepping into the room, Joyce was taken aback by Karl's dusty appearance, still in his inspector uniform as if he hadn't had time to change.
"Karl, what's this? Just finished an assignment and swung by on your way here? You're not planning to attend the wedding dressed like this, are you? I don't think many people would dare to speak in front of you," Joyce teased. "Wearing the highest inspector uniform to a wedding. Those who don't know might think you've been sent down to carry out an inspection task."
Karl chuckled. "How could that be? I did just come straight from the assignment in the neighboring city. It was a tight schedule, couldn't change clothes in time. Rest assured, Juanita had my clothes all ready for me. My luggage has been sent to my room. I definitely won't be attending your wedding dressed like this."
"Good to see you." Luther greeted.
Karl nodded lightly. "Mr. Warner, you look radiant with the addition of a son. Congratulations."
"Please, have a seat." Joyce pointed to the sofa next to them. Saдh thì FindNI.not website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Karl dusted off the dirt on his clothes and sat down on the sofa. "Before coming, Juanita had been in a bad mood for several days because I didn't allow her to come along."
Joyce chuckled, covering her lips. "She's close to delivery, indeed she shouldn't take it lightly. Look, I also delivered early. One can't predict when Juanita will deliver."
"Yes. My mother has been keeping her company these days." Karl looked around. "Why choose South Island for the wedding? Especially the yacht ride there. The surveillance equipment was all over, tight security. Quite unusual."
"Nothing escapes your eyes," Luther crossed his legs in a relaxed posture.
"Can you tell me about it? I'm not an outsider." Karl furrowed his brows slightly, realizing that something had definitely gone wrong.
"It's nothing major, just him being cautious." Joyce pointed to Luther.
"Not just caution. The unusual arrangements here, the layered defense. There's definitely a purpose behind it." Karl didn't believe Joyce's explanation. "I know you're afraid I'd worry, especially with Juanita about to give birth. You don't want me to get involved. But don't forget, I'm a professional."
"Heh, well said, you're a professional." Luther's eyes gleamed. "It's okay, I'll tell you the whole story."
Joyce poured Karl a cup of tea, and Luther began with the story of a stranger they had recovered from the yacht they were on, outlining the recent events, including the antidote being administered for the poison Luther had been exposed to, Joyce's premature delivery, and how she almost got taken away by Grayson. Also, the possibility of Rohomes' spies being inside the house, passing information to Rohomes' side.
Karl remained silent for a long time after hearing the story.
Finally, he spoke. "I didn't expect you to have gone through so much. And I wasn't able to help. This time, I only brought two subordinates and didn't bring any professional equipment. If I had known..." "Karl, you've already helped us a lot. You don't have to worry about it anymore. Kane has arrived; he will monitor the surveillance and the control room. Luther has prepared enough manpower. Add to that the natural geographical advantage of South Island. Nothing will happen." Joyce reassured him. "Take care of Juanita, don't let her be distracted. Don't worry too much about me. Look, so many things happened before. Although there were surprises, there was no danger. Everything was eventually resolved satisfactorily."
"Since you're on official duty, the wedding will be over tomorrow. You definitely have to return to the Capital. Don't delay your business." Luther looked at his watch. "Let's chat a bit more. Felix and Vicki will be here soon. Felix already messaged me. Remember, don't mention this matter in front of them."
Karl nodded. "Got it."
He thought for a moment. "For your wedding, Juanita and I have prepared some ordinary gifts. After all, we couldn't figure out what you might be lacking."
"Your presence alone is the greatest gift." Joyce smiled. "It's too much to prepare gifts; you're being overly formal."
Karl took out a pen from his suit pocket. "But there's something I specially prepared for you."
He placed the pen on the coffee table. It was an all-black pen, looking very
ordinary with no apparent special features.
Joyce was surprised. It was Luther who spoke first. "Is this a pen gun? St. Denis made, for internal use in intelligence departments."
Karl laughed. "Mr. Warner has quite the keen eye. Are you also knowledgeable about guns?"
Luther picked up the pen and weighed it in his hand. "Of course, I've done a lot of research for Joyce."
Joyce glanced at Luther. "Explosives too, he's practically an expert by now."
After all, it was Luther who finally disarmed the tiny bomb on Iris. It was
extremely difficult.

"Haha." Karl rarely let out a hearty

laugh. "Even just by looking at the defense layout on South Island, I can Warmuth Warner's professionalism. You'd be more than capable as the Inspectorate Director here. You're just underutilized." The content is on Novelxo.org! Read the latest

Luther twirled the pen in his hand. "It's well hidden. Only someone with your
special status could obtain something like this."
To be honest, these were items exclusive to spy agencies. Warlords couldn't get
their hands on them.

Joyce took the pen from Luther,
removing the pen cap. Surprisingly, there was a pen tip inside. At first glance, it was indistinguishable. But she reached in and pulled out the pen e tip, revealing a miniature handgun. It was incredibly clever, invisible to the
untrained eye. With her knowledge of firearms, she could easily identify the safety, bullet chamber, and how to fire the gun. Truly a lethal weapon in disguise. "The bullets are small, only a hit to the aorta would be fatal. Only you could pull it off, Joyce," Karl pointed at the pen gun. The content is on Novelxo.org! Read the latest

"Thank you, I really like this gift." Joyce reassembled the pen, putting the cap back on. Kane had given her a pin communicator in the shape of a gun, and now Karl had given her a pen gun. They both knew her preferences well.
She felt like all her gear had been upgraded.

Luther's handsome face showed a
hint of displeasure, because he
hadn't expected it. Whether it was Kane or Karl, they knew JoyceWell, catering to her likes. It left him feeling a bit jealous. Karl noticed Luther's minor jealousy but didn't say
anything. Instead, he got up. "I'll go change my clothes in my room.
When Felix and Vicki arrive, I'd like to
meet them too." The content is on Novelxo.org! Read the latest chapter there!
"Sure." Joyce nodded. Karl and Felix had met before, but their interaction wasn't deep. This was a good opportunity for everyone to get to know each other and look out for each other in the future.
