Her calm deanor made Zed Moore feel on edge, even though he was usually composed, he found it difficult to maintain his cool at this mont.
While the people from the Kingsleys Family hadn’t arrived yet, he covered his lips with a fist and lowered his voice, whispering: "Ms. Quinlan, are you here at the Kingsleys Family to find soone?"
Nathalie Quinlan had ntioned at the coffee shop that she would be coming to the Kingsleys Family but hadn’t told him why.
Zed Moore was risking his own life to accompany the fair lady, not even reporting to Amadeus Yancey, just taking the plunge and coming along with Nathalie Quinlan.
He was well aware of Nathalie Quinlan’s status in his boss’s heart, and if anything happened to Ms. Quinlan, even ten lives wouldn’t be enough to pay for it!
So Zed Moore had prepared for both scenarios.
Before coming, he had texted Vincent Moore, telling him about their visit to the Kingsleys Family. He also instructed Vincent to bring Amadeus and others to rescue them if they hadn’t walked out within two hours.
Zed Moore had a backup plan, which made him feel more confident.
But he was also curious about what Nathalie Quinlan was planning at the Kingsleys Family.
"Do you know soone from the Kingsleys Family?" Zed Moore asked tentatively.
Nathalie Quinlan simply placed the tea cup down, adjusted her Duckbill Cap an inch lower, and relaxed in her seat, showing a hint of crankiness from lack of sleep.
However, she intentionally curbed the cold radiance all around her in front of Zed Moore, lazily responding: "No, I’m just here to get sothing."
"Uh..." Zed Moore hadn’t expected this answer, and looked at her with confusion: "Does the Kingsleys Family have sothing of yours?"
He knew Nathalie Quinlan was an uncrowned king among hackers.
The Red Alliance’s sun.
But Ms. Quinlan was skilled with the computer, whereas the Kingsleys Family dealt with gunpowder. What could Ms. Quinlan possibly be retrieving from them?
Zed Moore couldn’t figure it out yet.
Soon.
People arrived in the living room.
Zed Moore suppressed his curiosity and imdiately beca highly alert.
He saw seven or eight people entering the living room.
Besides the Clan Chief of the Kingsleys Family whom he recognized, there were the six elders from the Punishnt Hall, Hansel Kingsley, and several young faces.
Lynn Kingsley, who had previously contended with Nathalie Quinlan for a spot at The First Research Institute, was conspicuously present.
As a younger individual, not of direct-line descent from the Kingsleys Family, Lynn Kingsley carried little influence, thus mostly walking at the back.
Upon entering and seeing the girl sitting boldly in the living room, his face changed abruptly, sinking into a sudden gloom.
Unfortunately, at this mont, no one gave attention to his emotional shifts, as all eyes were focused on the girl sitting in the living room.
Even pivotal figures like Hansel Kingsley and Lynn Kingsley from the Kingsleys Family were watching the girl’s every move closely.
From the mont Hansel Kingsley saw Nathalie Quinlan, his face turned frighteningly grim, and when passing by, he casually snorted, expressing his discontent, before throwing himself onto a seat, his tiger’s eyes fiercely fixed on the girl, as if eyeing a prey that walked right in.
The sudden visit by Nathalie Quinlan prompted everyone to think she had finally figured it out.
Enough of the cat-and-mouse gas.
She wanted to acknowledge her roots!
At least, so of those in the know from the Kingsleys Family had this thought in their hearts.
Lynn Kingsley saw Nathalie Quinlan for the first ti, and after taking a deep look at the girl before him, he calmly asked: "I heard you’re here to retrieve sothing, what do you want to take?"
Jas Lawrence was full of expectations, eagerly awaiting Nathalie Quinlan to state she was reclaiming her identity.
Only Hansel Kingsley’s old face showed no warmth, his eyes icy and piercing, speaking with an eerie tone: "We gave you an opportunity back then, but you didn’t take it! Now you co knocking on our door. What do you think the Kingsleys Family is, a place for kids to play house?"
