Chapter 452 Sweet Dates
As Jason came out, he closed the door behind him. He walked towards the staircase and asked Eaton, “What’s the
matter?”
Eaton caught up with him a few steps behind him and said, “Our people engaged in an ambush against Professor
Peter’s men at the harbour. However, the other side received the message we sent last night and prepared in
advance. Furthermore, their numbers exceeded our previous investigation, and they had hidden expert
mercenaries.”
Jason furrowed his brow and asked, “What was the outcome?”
Eaton replied, “Although our people arrived in time, in the final confrontation, they only managed to sever one of
Professor Peter’s arms.”
At this point, Eaton’s expression became cautious.
“The current situation is that Professor Will was rescued, and the hunter team suffered heavy casualties.”
Upon hearing this, Jason narrowed his eyes, concealing his deep dissatisfaction.
“A mere hunter managed to mobilise so many skilled mercenaries?”
Eaton understood what Jason meant and knew he was not satisfied with this outcome.
He responded, “Obviously not! I investigated the three captured mercenaries last night, and they all belong to the
‘Devourers’ in ante 452 Sweet Dates
South America mercenary organisation…
You should have heard of this organisation. They work for anyone as long as they are paid.
It seems that the hunters hired them, which was something we didn’t anticipate.”
Jason’s gaze couldn’t hide his dark thoughts after hearing this. He always felt that things weren’t that simple. He
then instructed Eaton, “In that case, have Sam investigate this ‘Devourers’ organisation.”
“Alright.”
While the two were talking, Aletta finished changing her clothes and came out.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHearing the sound of her opening the door, Jason relaxed his expression, halted the conversation, and said to
Eaton, “You can continue attending your duties.”
“Got it!”
Eaton nodded and left.
Aletta looked puzzled as she watched Eaton hurriedly depart. She walked up to Jason and asked, “What’s the matter
with Eaton urgently looking for you? Is there anything wrong?”
Jason didn’t hide anything and directly informed her, “Last night, my subordinates went to capture Professor Peter,
but other parties had already prepared beforehand and rescued him.”
He paused for a moment before continuing, “I’m going to meet the President…”
Aletta acknowledged and nodded.
She was originally going to go with Jason, but at that moment, Jock’s call came in. “Aletta, are you awake? Have you
rested enough? Come to the medical room for an examination.”
The sound from Aletta’s phone was not low, and Jason heard it as well. He directly told Aletta, “You shall go ahead
with your check up, and after I am done talking to President Thomson, I’ll come and find you.”
Since he had said so, Aletta couldn’t say anything else.
She could only nod and replied to Jock on the other end of the call, “I’ll come over right now!”
The two of them set off together and separated at the intersection outside. Soon, Jason arrived at President
Thomson’s office.
“I came here without prior notice. I would like to share with you about the situation off the island. Professor Peter
has escaped. He hired a few skilled mercenaries, clearly being on guard in advance. My men couldn’t capture him
and only managed to sever one of his arms,” Jason reported.
President Thomson seemed completely unsurprised by the information.
He comforted Jason, saying, “That junior of mine has always been cunning. When his reputation was completely
ruined, he was wanted by authorities all over the world, but they couldn’t catch him. It shows that he has a natural
instinct for seeking benefits and avoiding harm, and he is skilled at escaping.”
Jason’s expression didn’t reveal any joy or anger. His eyebrows and eyes became even colder. “Escaping is one
matter, but what’s important is the background support behind him. Your junior is not simple to deal with.”
President Thomson listened to his words, looking puzzled and somewhat perplexed. “Why do I feel like there’s more
to your words? His background… Besides being a Hunter, is there something else?”
Jason replied indifferently, “It’s just speculation, not clear yet. We need to investigate further to find out.”
However, Professor Peter is ultimately a troublemaker.
Now that he has escaped, it’s like a thorn in Jason’s side because the other party might pose a threat to Aletta.
Especially since his whereabouts are unknown, there’s no clue on when he will cause trouble again.
Thomson felt Jason’s words made sense.
He said, “I’ll contact the connections within the league later to track this matter. If there’s any news, I’ll let you
know.”
Jason nodded. “Thank you for your help.”
Thomson waved his hand. “Don’t mention.”
Jason got up and prepared to look for Aletta. “That’s all for now. I’ll take my leave. Aletta has gone for a physical
examination, I’ll go check on her now.”
Simon immediately said, “I’ll go with you. It’s perfect timing. I’l need to administer some medicine to that girl.”
Jason raised his eyes and asked, “Is it the developed antidote?”
Thomson shook his head and explained, “No, it’s just stabilising injectables. It will make her feel less uncomfortable
during the subsequent treatment.”
Jason’s eyes darkened slightly.
Despite hearing from the president earlier that the treatment process wouldn’t be easy, he couldn’t help but
wonder how exactly it would be uncomfortable.
“Can you share with me what the situation will be like?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSeeing his serious expression, the president said, “Most likely, she will experience unbearable pain throughout her
body. Fainting is also a possibility. Altering one’s genes is a violation of the natural order of humanity, not to mention
that the medication has destructive effects on the body. After the treatment, the girl will probably need a long
period of rest to recover.”
Although Jason was mentally prepared, he couldn’t help but feel heartbroken after hearing this.
At the same time, a surge of anger welled up within him.
Sooner or later, he would make Professor Peter pay a painful cost!
The two of them continued their conversation as they headed towards the research lab.
When they arrived, Aletta had just finished her check-ups.
Upon seeing Jason, she immediately smiled with joy.
President Thomson couldn’t help but tease her, “Are you so happy to see your fiancé? You didn’t even greet me.”
Aletta blink playfully and said, “I didn’t see you. My fiancé is too tall.”
“Who’s short here? You little girl!”
President Thomson grumbled irritably, then beckoned,
“Come here, let me administer the medicine. You can look at your fiancé for all I care”.
“Okay.”
Aletta complied readily and followed along.
Within a few minutes, the medication was administered.
After everything was done, President Thomson reminded Aletta, “Pay attention to yourself in the coming days, if
there are any adverse reactions.”
Aletta nodded in agreement.
“Alright.”
Afterward, the two of them held hands and left the research lab. Originally, Jason had planned to take her back to
the villa to rest. However, Aletta had other plans. She affectionately linked her arm. with his and said, “How about
we go on a date, my fiancé? The night view of the island is absolutely stunning, and I’ve been wanting to take you
there for a while!”
