Here, he came into contact with the foreman of the aether surveillance network on this day, though it was only a mere brush of the shoulder.
He had also stopped by for a while beside the person who gave out orders.
As for me… He had once helped me deliver beauty elixirs to my lover Suzanne!”
Bang!
Andrew slammed his palms on the table with a grave look on his face.
Staring intensely at the messily drawn diagram of lines, he gritted at his teeth.
“Of course! It wasn't done by him in person, but by the couriers of the Sandra Clan.
However as a member of the Sandra Clan, Jerome could’ve substituted in on the sly!”
There's something wrong with those elixirs!
Andrew had a hunch he had been under the influence of those elixirs, which resulted in his previous actions being controlled and manipulated!
Jerome was the mole!
“So, what does he have in mind for me with his current visit?”
Andrew looked toward the door of his study, almost as if he could see the waiting Jerome behind the door.
Andrew could vaguely imagine how Jerome had thought himself to be the hunter and Andrew to be the prey before he came.
At this point, Jerome must have been delighted thinking his superior was being toyed with in the palm of his hand.
Only, things were different now.
The role of the hunter and prey had now been reversed.
However, Andrew didn’t intend to immediately expose Jerome and bring him to justice.
He still lacked substantial evidence to prove Jerome’s wrongdoings, and doing so would give the game away.
Surely there was someone hidden pulling the strings behind Jerome.
For now, Andrew needed to beat Jerome at his own game.
He knew the bookstore owner's behavioral logic.
As long as he could become a patron of the bookstore, he would be able to earn the favor of the bookstore owner…
Indeed, Andrew now wanted to seek the help of the bookstore owner!
——
After waiting in the hall for 20 minutes, Jerome finally saw the long overdue Andrew.
Andrew extended a hand and chuckled, “My apologies for having kept you waiting.
I was held up by some matters.”
“It’s fine.
It's my honor to await your arrival in your hall.” Jerome stood up and shook Andrew’s hand while flattering him in a not-so-subtle way.
He also took the chance to take measure of Andrew who hadn't been in the public eye for quite some time.
After this period of setbacks, the vice-president of the Truth Union no longer had that assured air of self-confidence.
He seemed to have aged another 10 years, though this was technically more accurate appearance-wise.
But… it would be better this way.
This novel is _hosted_ by hosted novel.
With this, people would be more inclined to believe Andrew couldn’t withstand his own failures and opted the easy way by killing himself.
Jerome smiled respectfully to express his reverence for Vice-chairman Andrew as well as to show slight understanding for the plight of the vice-chairman.
But in truth, he was secretly releasing his elixir.
The two were still locked in a handshake.
It is done, thought Jerome to himself.
Akin to a devil’s whisper, he then proceeded to continuously inject underlying hints into the conversation.
“Why don’t you go and prove yourself?
“This bookstore owner actually doesn’t have much power.
After summoning the spirit of Candela and crossing paths with the Waning Crescent Apostle, he hasn't actually done anything else.
In fact, he had never personally dealt with any situation.
This only further proves that it is just a fluke!
“His whole existence is just a wild card and a threat to the entire Norzin and the Truth Union.
The bookstore ought to be eradicated!
“You should be shining under the spotlight of the Truth Union, not suspended and misunderstood like you are now.
If only you can kill off that evil bookstore owner, you’ll definitely be able to regain all that you've lost…”
Andrew closed his eyes and muttered, “You’re right, I should visit the bookstore.”
