Growing impatient, Eugene asked, “So you’re telling me that you didn’t get any useful information after an entire night?”
Kyle hurriedly explained, “They infiltrated by impersonating our men. Our men were all knocked out and hidden behind the mountain, and when Mrs. Nolan’s little orange cat ran out, they pretended to be our men to bring the cat over, which was how they entered the villa smoothly. Besides, they told us that they were assassins sent by Dragon’s Breath.”
Eugene’s eyes narrowed. ‘Dragon’s Breath? Do they have the guts to do that?” Kyle said, ‘I doubted them as well. Logically speaking, Dragon’s Breath doesn’t have the courage to target us, but there may be someone who offered a high price, causing them to take the risk.”
“Are you sure they’re telling the truth?” “I interrogated them separately, so they shouldn’t have planned their statements in advance.” Eugene stood up and ordered, “I want to look at the footage.”
However, Kyle informed, “The footage hasn’t been recovered, Mr. Nolan. You may have to wait a little longer.” Hearing that, Eugene shot him a displeased glare. “Is there anything you’re capable of?”
Saying that, he turned around and went upstairs. Kyle looked at Eugene’s ascending figure with a dumbfounded expression. Is he not going to wait? Not a moment later, Eugene came downstairs with North.
“Mr. Nolan…”
Eugene ordered, “Let’s go!” Kyle stared at him blankly. Go? Go where? Seeing that he had already left, Kyle hurriedly. followed behind. “Mr. Nolan, where are we going?” Eugene shot him a glare. “The surveillance room!”
The corners of Kyle’s mouth twitched at his words. Didn’t I say that it hasn’t been recovered yet? However, he didn’t dare to ask any more questions as he could tell that Eugene was already extremely impatient.
Hence, they headed to Promise Island’s surveillance room together, where there were a few men scurrying around inside. Upon seeing Eugene’s arrival, they greeted him, “Mr. Nolan!”
Eugene hummed indifferently in reply before asking. “Have you recovered the footage yet?” A man replied, “We’re almost there. It should be done within an hour!” At his words, Eugene growled disdainfully, “An hour? And you tell me you’re almost there? Step aside!”
Though the man was taken aback by his words, when he saw that Eugene was staring at him, he didn’t dare to repeat his words and immediately stood up to relinquish his seat. Then, he watched as a child sat in his vacanted chair. What’s going on? Are we trying to please the child now?
Before he could fully understand what Eugene meant, the little boy made his move. His small fingers flew across the keyboard at incredible speed, several times faster than he was. The jaw-dropping scene shocked the man immensely. No way! This kid is amazing!
He involuntarily craned his neck, staring intently at the ever-changing computer screen. He watched as the progress bar, which he could not load successfully, filled up to the top all of a sudden. Then, the little boy pressed on the return key, and the screen lit up. With that, the deleted surveillance footage was restored.
The man glanced at the time. It didn’t even take five minutes. He felt his cheeks burn, as if he just received a slap on his face. However, no one paid attention to him as their eyes were trained on the five minutes of deleted footage.
Just as Kyle described, there were a total of eight men, and it seemed as if they were seasoned assassins. As a matter of fact, there were no other paths that led to this part of the. villa, except the one that was being guarded. In order to protect Ellen, he had built a two-meter- high fence between the playground and the villa, which was also patrolled. Hence, it was impossible for someone who did not know the layout of the place to approach this area, let alone assassinate Ellen. However, even with such tight security, someone was still able to show up on their doorstep and attempt to harm her.
