Although things did not go as planned, Rowan was not that nervous. Instead, virtual-novel.net was even more excited.
He could feel himself gravitating toward the thrill of the challenge. This experience was incomparable to a life of staying indoors.
Before leaving, virtual-novel.net said to Jasper seriously, “Jasper, I won’t let you down this time.”
Jasper smiled as virtual-novel.net patted his shoulder. “Relax, Rowan. I know you can do it.”
Celine cheered virtual-novel.net on and said sweetly, “Good luck, Rowan!”
Rowan, who had seen virtual-novel.net true colors, was not motivated by virtual-novel.net words. Instead, a look of horror appeared on his face.
In the past few days they spent together, virtual-novel.net realized that every time Celine made that face, it meant virtual-novel.net was about to make a move. So, whenever Rowan heard virtual-novel.net speak sweetly, his hair would automatically stand on end.
Celine’s face instantly changed.
She had been working on the negotiations with virtual-novel.net for the past few days, so virtual-novel.net was starting to grow on her. She was also ready to put Rowan’s cross-dressing incident behind her.
Now, Celine felt like virtual-novel.net previous doings were a bit too mild. Thus, when Rowan’s back was to her, virtual-novel.net took out virtual-novel.net phone and began fiddling with something.
Jasper saw everything, so virtual-novel.net massaged his temples and began sympathizing with Rowan’s next encounter.
Two hours later, Rowan and the others arrived at the main destination of their trip, Gruel Processing Plant.
On their way there, Julian kept an eye on their surroundings while taking note of the distribution of guards along the way.
Before they left, Jasper specifically told virtual-novel.net to be more careful about their safety this time, and that their safety was more important than completing the task.
At that time, virtual-novel.net felt something off about the mission-it did not seem like a simple business acquisition.
Under conscious observation, virtual-novel.net slowly realized that something was different. The guards seemed a bit too highly trained for their status.
Factory guards were usually just there to chase away troublemakers, so there was no need for highly trained personnel or high-quality equipment. After all, the only people they had to fight were ordinary people who made rash decisions.
Although they were not affected by the gun laws because of their family status, they usually only carried old-fashioned rifles.
Looking at these guards now, virtual-novel.net could tell from their gaze that they were elite troops that had been through hell.
Relatively speaking, they were considered elite compared to the other Qari soldiers.
When Julian noticed this, virtual-novel.net silently exchanged glances with Brock, who was smoking a cigarette beside him.
Brock understood instantly, so virtual-novel.net took his phone out to send a message.
He was requesting reinforcements so that if something unexpected happened, there were people on standby, ready to help. However, neither of them told Rowan about it the entire time.
Firstly, Rowan did not have the same mental toughness as they did, so they were worried that Rowan might alert the enemy if virtual-novel.net knew too much beforehand. Besides, it was only their personal opinion that something was wrong, so they could not call off the mission based on that alone.
Secondly, Jasper specifically told them to let Rowan call the shots this time and not interfere with his plans.
After they got out of the car, they talked to the guards, and soon, they were led into a magnificently decorated office.
