Chapter 1295
When the two arrived in Catellon, it was still noon.The hotel had been prepared for them in advance.What surprised Eric was that he and Ruth only had one room!Once they entered the suite, Ruth promptly occupied the master bedroom, saying, "I'm a woman, so you have to accommodate me. You can sleep on the sofa, or if you're not afraid of explaining to your wife, you can sleep in my room."Oh, by the way, this hotel was fully booked days in advance, so there shouldn't be any other rooms available. If you want to call someone over, I can temporarily vacate the room. I promise not to say anything when we return home!"With that, she entered the room, seemingly intent on resting. Eric wasn't buying it. He picked up the landline and dialed the front desk, but what he heard left him stunned.The hotel indeed had no other vacant rooms. He had no choice but to make do for now. However, he couldn't focus on anything else. The night before they came to Catellon, Sylvia had exhausted him

Eric absolutely did it on purpose!Even after Ruth said she didn't have a boyfriend, Eric still had the nerve to ask about her boyfriend?! If that wasn't intentional, then what was it?Ruth was nearly going crazy. "I'm telling you, Eric, are you trying to get yourself killed? Believe me, tomorrow I'll call Sylvia and tell her you harassed me!"Hmph! Then when she kicks you out of the house, it'll save me some trouble!"Eric was petrified!He knew Ruth would probably do something like that. This woman was just insatiable.Eric shook his head. "It looks like I won't be sleeping tonight, to avoid being defiled." Ruth gritted her teeth in fury.Unfortunately, there was nothing she could do."I'll lock the door later." Ruth glared at Eric, "You better get some rest too. We have work to do tomorrow."She actually wanted to focus on work, so she wouldn't think about all this mess.-A night passed without words.The next morning, two people arrived at the hotel.They were both

Ruth continued. "Now we have ample evidence. Our purpose in Catellon is twofold. Firstly, to hold Genome Inc. accountable.""So many people in Dortmund City have died, so many families shattered. Among them, many were the backbone of their families. With the pillar gone, they can't even sustain themselves."The Combat Department has compiled statistics on such families. There are quite a few. We provide them with assistance and offer job opportunities. But now that we've found the instigators, we must make the prime culprit pay first! It's the biggest trouble for those families."The second objective is to bring the CEO of this company, as well as some of the top executives, to justice! Let them face trial in our country!"Eric nodded.When they came, he already understood the mission.Both tasks were daunting, but they had to be completed.Eric looked at Ruth. "Have you made a plan?"Ruth shook her head. "My mentor said you would decide when we reached Catellon."Eric fell si

Late into the night, Kurt arrived in Catellon.Upon reaching the hotel and spotting Eric, he finally breathed a sigh of relief."Mr. Johnson!" But he was still shaken. "I almost died on the way here!"Kurt trembled. He knew coming here meant risking his life, but staying away was no guarantee of safety either. In such a dilemma, he had to seize whatever chance he had."There were gunshots fired at me when I got off the plane, blatantly open! And my phone, it's filled with death threats!" Kurt exclaimed.Eric chuckled. "Is that supposed to scare you? You've barely even arrived. But I'm curious, you fear for your life in Catellon, yet in our territory, you seemed fearless?"He was questioning Kurt's integrity. Catellon was just a small country, even as an affiliate of Faustaria, could it compare to the other superpowers?Taking a deep breath, Kurt replied, "Mr. Johnson, haven't you always been accommodating?"Eric sneered. "What kind of logic is that? Being accommodating means in

Clothes still lay in disarray when Eric hurriedly left."Hmph!" Ruth coldly snorted. "Talking about not being tempted? We haven't even begun, and you're already flustered? Ha, men!"With a resounding slam, Eric shut the door.But Ruth couldn't help but admire Eric. In terms of beauty, she could hold her own, and her figure was top-notch. Yet, despite all this, Eric could resist her charms. It was unbelievable! She even began to wonder whether Eric was incapable. How else could he resist a beauty like her?For Eric, it felt like playing with fire. He decided to keep his distance from Ruth."How did you manage to get a room?" Eric asked curiously.When he called the front desk earlier, they claimed there were no vacancies. But now, Kurt and his entourage managed to check in smoothly."We have arrangements in major hotels around the world," Kurt explained. "This time, we managed to secure rooms at this hotel at the last minute. That's how we ended up next door to you and the lady

In the early morning, Eric rose from his slumber, feeling refreshed and invigorated.He and Ruth disguised themselves, now as members of the GHO.Ruth voiced her concerns. "Eric, we're in a foreign land. Unlike back home, where a single call could summon plenty of help, we're on our own here. What if Kurt decides to sell us out?"Her worries weren't unfounded. Kurt feared Genome Inc. and selling them out for self-preservation wasn't beyond reason.Eric adjusted his tie confidently. "Sell us out? I trust Kurt isn't that foolish. If he dares betray us, I'll take care of him first, then we'll find our way back.""Find our way back?" Ruth chuckled. "That's intriguing. We'd become fugitives in Catellon."Eric glanced at his shoes, devoid of any dust, and remarked, "A puny little country like that wants to label me a fugitive? They're not capable."Ruth fell silent, noticing Eric's newfound arrogance, reminiscent of their first encounter in Salt City!-At the hotel entrance, Kurt's

"Yes, our laboratory does have some viruses, but it's all for research, to prevent spreading. We've invested a fortune."Our company's research is all in the service of human health. How could we possibly let viruses spread, especially in such large cities?" Kurt nodded subtly, maintaining his composure. He was merely trying to deceive Chuck, to see if he could extract anything useful.However, Chuck was a sly old fox, destined to reveal nothing of significance. -The day's inspection quickly concluded, with Kurt finding nothing of note. Returning to the hotel, he said, "Mr. Johnson, we've taken every precaution. It's difficult to investigate!" Eric pondered. He could see through what Kurt was saying, realizing there was no breakthrough insight.Suddenly, an idea struck him. "Today, while in their laboratory, I noticed some tightly sealed doors. Tomorrow, let's focus on investigating those."In addition, although they seem well-prepared, I believe some crucial data must be h

Chuck couldn't wrap his head around it. As for yesterday's assassination attempt, he had merely intended to give Kurt a warning, thinking Kurt would take the money and handle things. He never expected such an outcome. A male Catellonian approached Chuck. "Sir, should we send someone..." He made a throat-slitting gesture, and Chuck immediately understood. "No," Chuck said. "If someone dies in Catellon, suspicion will fall on us. Though it's not a big deal, it's troublesome."Our preparations are all set, right? Let them investigate first. If they find anything, we can act later!" He remained calm under pressure. After all, he had seen storms before, and this was nothing. Moreover, Chuck believed that even if Kurt found something, he could handle it. Assassination? That was a last resort. Unless absolutely necessary, it was best avoided. -Meanwhile, Ruth knew there hadn't been much progress today. It was mainly because Kurt hadn't found any leads on Genome Inc.Coming
