Chapter 1239
“Yes,” Falcon took a deep breath, recalling his conversation with Barrett. The more he thought about it, the more similarities he found. “I hope I’m just overthinking this…”
Billy pondered momentarily before concluding, “You’re definitely overthinking it!” Ads by PubFuture
Billy’s certainty took aback Falcon. “Why do you say that, Mr. Billy? I know you trust Barrett and value his abilities, but not to this extent, surely?”Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Indeed, I’ve tested Barrett extensively and trust him more than most. But my trust isn’t blind-it’s based on judgment,” Billy explained. “Think about it: the leader of the Nidhogg Organization commands one of the top international organizations. Someone like that would be extremely cautious. Do you think he’d risk coming here himself?
“Besides, before Barrett’s battle with you, I laced his food with hallucinogens and had a hypnotist question him. His responses were consistent with what he told me while fully conscious. So your theory doesn’t hold water.”
“I understand, but they do seem so alike…” Falcon rubbed his temples, struggling to articulate his feelings. “Don’t worry about it, Mr. Billy. I’ll keep observing. If I find anything, you’ll be the first to know.” Billy had to remind him, “Probe all you want, but be careful not to upset Barrett. He’s young and prone to impulsiveness. Where will I find another talent like him if you drive him away?” Ads by PubFuture
Falcon nodded and gave Billy a reassuring look. “Don’t worry, Mr. Billy. I know how to handle this.” “Good. Just make sure you don’t scare Barrett off!” Billy genuinely valued Barrett. If it were anyone else, he wouldn’t have repeated himself so much. But Barrett’s skills were extraordinary, making Billy alter his usual principles.
“Understood, Mr. Billy,” Falcon replied, his emotions a swirl of complexity.
Even though Billy was confident Bonnie wouldn’t come here personally, Barrett’s resemblance to Bonnie was too uncanny to ignore.
‘Perhaps Barrett was indeed my leader in disguise? Although their faces differed, maybe my leader had used a master of disguise. But when I had closely observed Barrett before, there was no trace of any disguise…’
Falcon’s mind was crowded with conflicting thoughts, but he knew speculation alone wouldn’t yield answers. He needed concrete evidence and more behavioral similarities to confirm his suspicions.
Billy patted his shoulder reassuringly upon seeing Falcon deep in thought, “Personally, I believe it’s impossible for the Nidhogg Organization’s leader to be here. Focus on the chip. Work with Barrett to unlock its secrets. Only then can we achieve our goal of uniting the major international organizations!” Falcon remained silent, and his brow furrowed. After a long pause, he finally spoke, “Mr. Billy, I know my thoughts are far-fetched, but… what if?”
After another struggle, Falcon continued, “Are you going to have Barrett work on the chip now? What if something unexpected happens…”
