Chapter 1539
At this moment, he could not help but to beat himself up for it. If he had not ran home just because he was unable
to withstand the pressure, he might very well be the person standing beside Nicole today.
"We... are indeed, not even friends."
Berating himself, Lloyd lifted his glass and took a swig.
Seeing this, Nicole could only issue a sigh. 'Why is Lloyd so obsessed with our relationship?'
"Lloyd, you should know the organization's rules. Whether it's the Interpol or Zane's Organization, the rules are all
the same. We have never met before, and now, we're meeting for the first time."
Nicole's words were clear and concise.
However, it was then that a gleam appeared in Lloyd's eyes. "That means, we can start over again, right?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFrustrated with him, she thought, 'Do I need to spell everything out for him just so he would get it?
Taking a deep breath, Nicole proffered her hand. "Greetings, I'm Nicole Riddle."
Lloyd looked at Nicole's outstretched hand and was delighted.
He had not think that Nicole had meant this when she had rejected him time and time again back then.
Tm such a fool, to think that I called her S before everyone...'
Finally understanding Nicole's intentions, Lloyd stretched his hand out." Hello, I'm Lloyd Holder."
The two tacitly knew that they were starting over again. Everything that had happened prior, was nothing but a
dream in a life long gone.
"Hello, Mr. Holder. I've come to you with a business proposal."
Even though they were partners before this, Nicole was still intent on drawing that line, and though she needed his
help, she did not want to owe him a favor.
"A business proposal? Just tell me what you need done," Lloyd said, not liking Nicole's rather distant and formal
tone.
She sighed. "It is a business proposal. If you do not agree to it, there's no reason for me to tell you."
"You!" Lloyd panicked a little before letting out a sigh. "I get it, I get it. I'll agree to that. But... I'll have to ask, what
sort of business are we doing?"
"Sure." Nicole agreed, knowing that she could do whatever Lloyd wanted her to do. "In that case, I'll cut to the
chase."
She did not want to draw attention to herself, so she thought of getting this done as quickly as possible.
Noticing how serious Nicole was, Lloyd responded in kind. "Okay."
'Zane's Organization had lost a group of Braves at Lanningbourg. The ship carrying them went missing after it had
entered the high seas. I need someone from the black market and the dark web to look for clues of its

Lloyd was stunned. Only a few in San Joto knew about the Holder family's relationship with the black market and the
dark web.
'How long has Nicole been in San Joto?' 'How did she know of our relationship with the black market?' he thought.
Noting Lloyd keeping silent, Nicole raised her eyebrow. "Are there any difficulties?"
'This should be easy enough for the Holder family.'
As expected, Lloyd shook his head. "It won't be difficult, but I'm just curious, how did you learn of my family's
connection with the members of the dark web?"
Nicole shot him a glance and replied, "The Holder family is well-known among the Hunters."
Lloyd was taken aback. "You're... a Hunter?"
'The Hunters, were something of a guild for hackers!' he thought. 'Only professionals could crack the URL to enter
the website and create an account! Nicole's a Hunter?'
"I'm Lucifer." Nicole swirled her glass of wine, her eyes wild.
Lloyd suddenly trembled as his eyes began darting. "You're... Lucifer?!"
