From that moment on, he knew that the youth in front of him was a person that he could not afford to offend. For the last few years, he witnessed personally as the facilities of the island became more advanced with Eugene earning his fill. Yet, Valant no longer had any motivation to make his move.
Not only did he not dare to do so, he could not do so either! With both Double Dragon Court and Promise Island in his hands, Eugene was an existence nobody dared to cross. Still, trouble would always come knocking with the scale of Eugene’s operation..
There are still people that dare to infiltrate his base? Fools As he was sighing, Eugene piped up, “Who hired you to steal the necklace from Eurosia?” Hm? Stunned, Valant looked at Eugene, thinking that he might have misheard him. Why is he asking about this?
“About this, President Nolan… I can’t tell you. Even though my organization has been on the decline, I still wish to keep our principle, which is to not leak the information of my clients.”
Looking at him, Eugene laughed. “Aren’t you afraid that you’ll never make it back?” Valant smiled awkwardly. “I don’t think you’ll make it hard on me, President Nolan.”
Yet, Eugene replied, “I can’t promise you that either. It all depends on how well you. cooperate.” This made Valant shift his pelvis awkwardly as if the chair had thousands of needles on it, which increased his uneasiness.
“Who are you interested in, President Nolan?”
“Eurosia.” Giving it a thought, Valant replied, “I can only tell you that it was an insider in Eurosia that wanted to steal the necklace of the queen, but thanks to Casper, I had to pay the client double the fee. As for the necklace, I don’t know if Casper managed to steal it.” Eugene continued to question him, “How long was this?”
Valant replied, “It wasn’t that long ago, about two to three months ago.” Eugene stated, “Hasn’t the current queen of Eurosia, Alice, succeeded to the position five years ago? Why is someone still eyeing the necklace of their monarch? That certainly is strange.”
Smiling, Valant commented, “Who’s to say in the power struggle between royalties? Perhaps, someone wants to stage a coup!”
Eugene nodded. ‘Okay, I won’t make it hard on you. If you’re willing to say the name of the client, I can help you out in Dragon’s Breath’s time of need.”
“Uhm…”
Valant hesitated this time, for Eugene’s offer was really tempting. He wanted to find a backing as Dragon’s Breath was really hanging on the teethers right now.
After a minute of silence, he looked at Eugene. “I’ll tell you, but you’ll have to keep this a secret for me, President Nolan. I hope you’ll never sell me out.”
Eugene stated, “Of course. I still have basic principles!” Hearing that, Valant confessed, “The client’s name is Andreas, but I’m sure that he hired us under another person’s orders.”
Eugene commented, “I know. Don’t worry. Only you and I will know about this.” Finally, Valant replied, “Thank you, President Nolan. Please, call me if you need anything. I’ll leave for now.”
“Okay. I’ll have my men to escort you out.”
Saying that, Eugene instructed his men to send him out. In actuality, he had a hunch that Olivia had something to do with this and was worried that she might be wrapped up in this mess; that was why he had Valant come over.
As for the necklace, it did not matter to him whether it was lost or stolen! Returning to the villa, he saw that nobody was in the main hall, but he soon figured out where everyone was.
Since Alex was immobile for the time being, Jewel was very guilty, so she accompanied him with her wounded body whenever she could. Although it took a lot of strength just to talk, she still wanted to stay by his side.
