Chapter 410 Sincerity
“The one who was at Hatte Hotel in the morning. He has the last name ‘Duncan.”
Hearing this, Reynolds had a cold expression. He was still in the same position and remained silent for a long
time.
The subordinate who had opened the door earlier saw Reynolds in this state and asked, “Why did he ask to see Mr. Lawson?”
The subordinate who had just entered the room looked at him and shook his head. “That person didn’t say anything. He only said he would wait for Mr. Lawson at the cafe beside Hatte Hotel.”
At that time, that subordinate was sitting in a car outside the bed and breakfast junction, keeping watch. Since that night, Black Wolf had gotten injured and had been hiding in an abandoned cave in the wilderness. He was lucky enough to escape being killed. Before dawn this morning, Black Wolf secretly entered the town and contacted Reynolds’ men After that, he stayed in the bed and breakfast.
The owner of the bed and breakfast was friends with Reynolds, so he turned a blind eye to that.
The police did not make a huge scene like they did the previous day, as they were afraid of startling the residents and tourists in the town. Hence, they decided to continue their investigation in a relatively low-key
manner.
That was why it was risky for Black Wolf to seek Reynolds’ help at this time.
Nobody knew how Wesley managed to find this bed and breakfast. He casually walked over, like an after-dinner stroll, to the car that the subordinate was in. Wesley knocked on the car window. At that time,
subordinate was a little dumbfounded. He lowered the window subconsciously and heard Wesley say, “Go back and tell Mr. Lawson that I want to meet him. I’ll wait for him at the cafe next to Hatte Hotel.”
After saying that, he left.
The subordinate was stunned for a while before quickly getting off the car. He hurried back to the bed and breakfast and reported that to Reynolds.
The two subordinates looked at each other without saying anything else.
After a momentary silence, Reynolds chuckled. “In that case, I’ll go and meet him,” he said.
Wesley booked a private room. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
However, the conditions in the town were limited. Even the private room was not really luxurious. One could even hear the sounds of people playing poker in the next room.
Wesley sat on the couch and took a sip of the earl grey tea that had been placed beside him.
It had cubed sugar in it, so it tasted a little sweet.
In the past, Wesley did not really like to eat sweet food. However, in recent years, Yuliana had given him a few candies. Every time she coaxed Rowan, she would also pass him a few.
In the very beginning. Wesley did not like those candies, but he still took the candies that Yuliana passed him. and kept them in his pocket.
Wesley took those candies home. He bought a glass jar to store them.
Once, Wesley had to go on a business trip and leave for more than two weeks. When he left, he took several candies with him.
When Wesley was on the plane, he suddenly missed Yuliana, so he took out a piece of candy and put it into his mouth.
It was sour and sweet, and it tasted like plums.
It tasted very different from cubed sugar.
Previously, Alec said Yuliana had gotten her boarding pass and entered the waiting room. Her flight was scheduled for 8.30 p.m., but it was not even 8 p.m. yet, so Wesley did not think Yuliana had already boarded the flight.
While Wesley was still deep in thought, the door of the private room was opened.
Wesley snapped back to his senses and looked at the door.
Reynolds came in with a smile and greeted Wesley enthusiastically, “Mr. Duncan!”
Tm sorry to keep you waiting. Mr. Duncan,” Reynolds added.
Wesley got up and said, “No, Mr. Lawson. I was the one who suddenly invited you to meet me. I hope you won’t take offense.” He stretched his arm out with an open palm in a gesture of invitation and asked, “Mr. Lawson, what would you like to drink?”
Reynolds glanced at the earl grey tea before Wesley and replied, “Mr. Duncan, I’ll have the same as you.” Wesley called the waiter in and ordered another cup of earl grey tea.
Soon, the waiter came in with the tea and said politely, “Tll leave you to enjoy your drinks.” With that, he turned around and went out.
Reynolds picked up his cup of tea and blew on it gently. He put it to his dark lips and took a small sip. The tea was still a little hot. His dark brows furrowed slightly. Following that, he lifted his gaze and looked at Wesley. “I don’t think you wanted to meet me just to have tea, right, Mr. Duncan?” Reynolds asked.
Wesley smiled. “Of course not.”
He paused for a moment and said, “I want to talk to you about collaboration.”
“Collaboration?” Reynolds raised his eyebrows slightly. “Well, Mr. Duncan… What kind of collaboration do you want to talk about?”
Wesley stared at him for two seconds. “I want the same collaboration as what you and Black Wolf have. However, Black Wolf wants Christopher to die, and I want Christopher to live.”
Reynolds met Wesley’s eyes, and the muscles of his face twitched slightly. He put down his transparent cup of earl grey tea.
The cup was too full, and some of the tea splashed out. The hot tea splashed on the back of Reynolds’ hand, but he did not care at all.
Reynolds merely chuckled coldly. “Mr. Duncan, how arrogant of you.”
In response, Wesley only smiled. He did not speak at all, and he had a composed look on his face.
The two looked at each other for a moment. There was a cold expression on Reynolds’ face. Reynolds asked, “Mr. Duncan, why do you think you are qualified to talk to me about the same collaboration that Black Wolf talked to me about?”
Wesley smiled and replied, “Of course, I’m not qualified to talk to you about this, but someone else is.” Reynolds understood the meaning behind Wesley’s words.
He looked down and picked up the teacup again. Reynolds blew on the tea and took a sip.
He did not respond to Wesley’s words.
Wesley knew that Reynolds was thinking about it, so he did not disturb the latter. Wesley only looked out of the window and waited quietly for Reynolds to come to a decision.
Reynolds finally said, “Mr. Duncan, have you ever thought about the fact that if I don’t agree to your proposal, you and he won’t be able to leave Druobridge alive?”
Wesley took the initiative to look for Reynolds, which meant he had accidentally exposed Christopher’s whereabouts.
Initially, Reynolds was only slightly suspicious, but now he could be sure.
Christopher was still in Lofbury.
Wesley said, “I’ve heard a lot about you. You are someone with morals, but Black Wolf is different from you. He’s narrow-minded and ungrateful… But I guess this is something that you already know, right? Even if he made some promise to you, can you be certain that he will keep his promise in the end?”
Reynolds naturally knew that Wesley was telling the truth.
Black Wolf had asked him to deal with Christopher because the latter had threatened Black Wolf’s interests. Even if he helped Black Wolf get rid of Christopher, Black Wolf would not agree to be the go- between for him. Reynolds knew that he would be the next Christopher.
Reynolds pondered for a moment and then looked at Wesley. “How do I know he is not the same person as
Black Wolf?”
Wesley smiled, took out a black package from the corner, and unzipped it. “This is a token of our sincerity. As long as he can leave Druobridge safely, there will be another gift for you.”
Reynolds glanced at the thing in that black package, and his eyes lit up instantly. Following that, he chuckled and said, “I like your sincerity. It’s really to my taste.”
Wesley asked, “So, you have agreed?”
Reynolds smiled and said, “The reason why I work so hard is because of this!”
“This is obviously much better than Black Wolf’s empty promises,” he mused.
Reynolds asked, “When are you intending to leave?”
Wesley answered, “Tomorrow.”
Reynolds thought for a while and said, “I have some connections in Lofbury. I’ll go over and notify them about. this tomorrow. Both of you should have no problems leaving. After arriving at Druobridge, you can also contact me if you need anything.”
As he spoke, he took out a business card and handed it to Wesley.
Wesley took it. He threw a glance at it before putting it away.
Reynolds looked at Wesley hesitatingly as if he had something to say.
Wesley asked, “What?”
Reynolds smiled. “Nothing.”
Wesley stood up and said, “In that case, thank you for your help.”
After exchanging a few words of pleasantries, Wesley left the cafe.
Meanwhile, Christopher was sitting in the car. He looked out the window casually.
Christopher’s body began to heat up again. He was sweating profusely. Even his clothes were soaked with sweat. Christopher felt cold when a gentle gust of cold wind blew past him.
He tilted his head and watched Wesley approach him.
