“Why isn’t this person arriving yet? Sierra’s backer is way too cunning.”
Ivan stood next to Robert, frowning.
“From morning to now, this person has been working to lead everyone from the countryside to the
busiest mall in the city, and even now isn’t showing their face. We don’t know if they’ll switch locations
again.”
“So long as we confirm whoever it is, it’s fine if we don’t catch them today.”
Robert smiled, his mood relaxed.
Having someone spy on him in the dark was like having a knife at his back.
So Robert really wanted to know exactly who it was supporting Sierra from behind.
Sure, he wanted to take them all down today, of course, but if this person escaped because they were
just too cunning, that was fine too. So long as they showed their face and allowed him to be sure who it
was in the shadows.
“Good point. It’s hard to relax with someone skulking in the shadows around you.”
The brothers waited in the secluded compartment, while inside the café, Sierra and Randy had been
waiting a while, and opposite them, David was losing his patience.
“I’ve checked my watch. It’s going to be ten minutes soon. Are you going to trade or not? I’m telling
you, I might be rich, but I’m not begging you to sell the stuff. I’ve got more investment opportunities,
and don’t think I need to grovel!”
At that, David stood up in a rage, and Sierra hurriedly apologized.
“Sorry, Mr. David, he’s here already and he’ll arrive soon.”
Since the two were in constant communication-
Jayson had heard David’s impatience as well and had Sierra promise David that he was coming in right
away.
“Fine, I’ll give you two minutes. Two minutes should be enough to walk in from outside. If your man still
isn’t here by then, I don’t think this deal is necessary.”
David returned to his seat and sat down. The café’s atmosphere suddenly turned stiff, and everyone
started showing nervous expressions.
But they kept a good expression. Naturally, David was listening to Brenton’s directions all along.
Only, he had a high-tech earpiece and other people couldn’t even tell he was still receiving directions
from someone else. Jayson’s people didn’t find anything unusual with David at all.
Having observed for long enough, Jayson walked out from the café.
But he didn’t walk in front and had his body double walk up instead. He was disguised as the
bodyguard behind him, wearing a wig and having put makeup on to somewhat hide his original
features. People who didn’t know him well definitely wouldn’t have recognized him as Jayson Willis.
Jayson’s body double walked over and shook David’s hand.
“Mr. David, sorry for the wait.”
“All right, since everyone’s here, I won’t linger over the delay back then. The key is to finish this deal
quickly. Get it all out. We’ll check each other.”
David took out his own card.
“You can check the money in there. I’ll check your documentation. With no problems, we’ll start signing
for it.”
Jayson stood behind his body double and had the body double sit between Sierra and Randy.
David, opposite them, started leafing through the documents and examining them in detail. As for
Jayson, he kept a close eye on the surroundings. All was quiet, and there was nothing strange going
on.
As for Robert, his people had started surrounding the café.
What struck Robert as strange was, he felt as if another force was closing in as well.
“This doesn’t seem like Jayson’s people.”
Robert frowned at Ivan, while on Brenton’s end, others were also reporting to him.
“Sir, we have another group surrounding the café. They’ve noticed our presence but haven’t acted yet.
Jayson isn’t showing any signs of activity, either. It might not be his people. We can’t be sure who they
belong to for now.”
Brenton showed a confused expression and turned to Sarah.
“Are they on Jayson’s tracks like us? Is this an enemy or an ally?”
Both sides were hung up on who this new player was, but they restrained themselves from moving.
As for inside the café, Jayson started to relax slowly.
Nothing out of the ordinary after coming in for this long. Seemed the deal today would go smoothly.
As for Randy, his miniature camera was keeping a live feed on the scene.
Robert started at the screen for a long while and finally spoke.
“I don’t know who the person sitting there is, but I’ve seen the person behind him; even though he’s
disguised himself.”
“Who is it?”
Ivan leant close to the monitor and looked it over seriously as Robert explained.
“I was kept confined in a place before. This person appeared before me and had people inject me with
drugs. Probably an underworld boss. So he’s in league with Sierra, then. That place seems like a
hidden drug research lab. There was an explosion and I escaped. Then Sierra saved me while I was
covered with wounds.”
Ivan still hadn’t heard what Robert had been through in the past year in detail.
Hearing all that, Ivan had a lot of questions, but his gaze suddenly shifted.
“Robert, I’ve seen this man before. His name is Jayson Mathis. He used to be the son-in-law of the Ellis
family, but in the past year, the head of the family, Brenton Ellis, returned and had Jayson exiled. He
even chased this person all across the world. Word is he killed Brenton’s son, which is how he lost his
son-in-law status. So you were abducted by him last year. No wonder he’s targeting you. He must be
after your property. After all, he almost inherited the entire property from the Ellis family. He must not be
happy being just a regular person.”
On Robert’s side, they confirmed the man’s identity.
Inside the café, both parties were still inspecting the documents and waiting to trade, while on
Brenton’s side, they’d recognized Jayson from the video.
Sarah spoke up excitedly.
“Uncle Brenton, shouldn’t we move now? This man is too cunning. We have to catch him this time and
send him off to prison.”
“Of course we could move now, but I’m worried about that unknown force. Would it affect our plan
today? But they don’t seem like Jayson’s people. We don’t know if now’s a good time to move.”
As for Robert’s end, Ivan had spoken up too.
“Since we’re sure that that person is Jayson, and that he’s moved against you multiple times, we have
to take him down now. Do we have confirmation on the identity of the other party surrounding the café
today?”
The team outside apologized to Robert.
“Sorry, sir, they’re cautious. They haven’t moved against us but they haven’t exposed who they’re
working for, either. They also don’t know who we’re working for, though. I feel like they’re going to move
on the interior now. What should we do?”
Sarah spoke up excitedly.

As for Robert's end, lvan had spoken up too.
“Since we're sure that that person is Jayson, and that he’s moved against you multiple times, we have
to take him down now. Do we have confirmation on the identity of the other party surrounding the cafe

The team outside apologized to Robert.
