Otherwise, with the strength of the Qustia military, they would discover something fishy about Stork's disguise the first time around.
Therefore, upon hearing Xaria's words, Cedric immediately fell silent, tightly closing his lips and not speaking again.
For a moment, the three of them sat silently facing each other in the café.
It wasn't until they heard Victoria and Xaria enter the adjacent Alpha room that Cedric wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and dryly laughed, saying, "Oh, Mr. Nicholson. I suddenly remembered that we still have some work to finish today, so I'm afraid we can't talk to you much longer."
Kingsley also felt it was inappropriate to stay here longer, so he stood up and said, "Then let's call it a day. Mr. Field, I will transfer the money to your account and arrange for someone to pick up the goods when I'm free."
"Okay."
Cedric gave Emmett a signal with a glance, and the two of them hurriedly left.
Kingsley returned to his car and vaguely felt that Cedric and Emmett were acting strange. However, he couldn't pinpoint where the problem was.
It was because he thought Stork's leader would be a strong man like Karl and Cedric.
So, he never thought that the person who could serve as the critical leader of the spy team would turn out to be a slender and beautiful woman.
He furrowed his brows and pondered for a while but still couldn't figure out what was wrong with Cedric and Emmett.
Fortunately, Kingsley was not the type who would obsess over something.
Unable to figure it out, he turned his thoughts to Jonah.
He narrowed his eyes and murmured, "Lawson Family and Jonah Lawson. Since you think you're hiding deep enough, you'd better hide well!"
I am in the open, while Jonah is in the dark. However, if I pretend not to know the truth about the cemetery explosion case, our relationship will completely change! Jonah will then be in the open while I am in the dark! Moreover, when one thinks they are hiding well, one will likely become complacent and forget themselves! Presumably, one will inadvertently reveal more information.
Thinking of this, Kingsley took out his phone and called Peter.
At this moment, Peter was lying on a hotel bed with a woman in his arms, leisurely smoking.
When he saw Kingsley's name on his phone, he pushed the woman away abruptly, sat up straight, and answered the call.
"Hello, Boss Nicholson?"
He remembered the last time Kingsley had him and Mickey live broadcast eating feces. The thought of it still made him nauseous.
"It's been a while, Young Master Lawson. How's business lately?"
"B-Boss Nicholson, it-it'll be wrong of me to make you worry about my insignificant business." Peter swallowed hard. "As you know, the construction of the Nicholson Family Cemetery was canceled, and I lost a lot of money because of this—"
"Did Mr. Lawson not teach you a lesson for losing so much money?" Kingsley asked indifferently.
"You mean my dad?" Peter was stunned. "Now that you've mentioned it, it was strange. I had to pay a large compensation, and then I lost the Nicholson Family Cemetery project after all that. Yet, he didn't blame me at all. He even transferred some money to me to continue developing Codrington Construction..."
Hearing Peter's words, Kingsley sneered. Jonah himself caused the tragic incident at the Nicholson Family Cemetery! So, how could he blame Peter for not doing a good job?!
At this point, he was even more confident that Jonah was the culprit that purchased the explosives to destroy the cemetery.
With a cautious tone, Peter asked, "Boss, is there something you need from me?
