“Now, you can think about it. Are you gonna work with me, or should I find Tanya?” Veronica stood up and pointed at the door. By then, her leisure mood was gone and replaced by a stern expression. “Once I, Veronica Murphy, walk out that door, our master-disciple relationship will be severed, so you’d better have a good think about it!”
She was not afraid of going through trouble for Matthew. As long as I can ensure his safety, resorting to a few tricks means nothing. On the other hand, Crayson fully grasped the meaning behind her words. If he refused to tell her Matthew’s whereabouts, she would personally meet with Tanya. Whether she would exchange her life for another life or work with Tanya, both options would mean disaster for them by then. Since Tiffany was dead, Veronica was their last trump card!
Leaning against the couch, he felt weak and wanted to struggle but in vain. He had greatly underestimated Veronica and did not expect she was already planning the trap since he first appeared in the room. He considered her prey. but he seemed to have forgotten the greatest hunters always appeared to be the prey in the first place.
“I don’t have much time to waste with you, so I’ll give you thirty seconds to consider.” Veronica. impatiently raised her arm and looked at her watch.
As time passed, Crayson kept his burning gaze fixed on her, but there was a complicated emotion in it.
Ten, nine, eight… three, two, one!” Once the last number was called, she went to the door without hesitation.
“Wait!” he yelled and then sighed lamentably. “You’ve grown up. You’ve surely grown up.” He remembered the first time they met. She was just a young child back then, but she seemed to have grown up overnight. “You even tricked me now.”
Meanwhile, Veronica stood by the door without turning around. “You made me like that.”
“Fine. I’ll tell you.” With no other choice, Crayson could only tell her the truth.
As soon as those words fell, a glint and tears pooled in her eyes as she felt she could finally take a load off her mind. Taking a deep breath, she slowly turned around and approached him. “Say it. Where is he?”
“Are you sure you can save him if I tell you?” he asked. She shook her head. “With the men I have at hand, of course, I can’t save him. So, I still have to either trouble you or Hayley.”
They looked into each other’s eyes and fell silent. In the end, he piped up, “Matthew is now out of danger, but he has been sent to the west zone secret research center. That place is guarded by heavy security, making it difficult to enter. I can lend you some men, but whether you can enter the research center depends on your capability.”
“The west zone secret research center?” At that moment, Veronica’s worry, which had just calmed down, surged again. “Why is he there?”
“Although Tanya Ledger has taken over the throne, she has been obsessed with the ancient technique of sealing someone’s memories and couldn’t figure it out after many years of research. In the end, she could only use the scientific way to substitute the venom technique.” Crayson no longer kept anything from her and came clean. “Eleanor begged Tanya to save Matthew, but Tanya decided to seal his memories to prevent him from becoming their enemy in the future. That must be because she wants Matthew to marry Eleanor.” Marriage?
The more Veronica listened to his explanation, the more anxious she felt, making it impossible to withstand the tension and suspense. “Where is the west zone secret research center?” she questioned.
Shaking his head, he answered, “That, I truly don’t know. I sent someone to investigate that last night, but they only managed to find out he was sent there. That place is heavily guarded and uses advanced technology, so it was hard for us to enter.”
