Nicole also heard this music and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
She was familiar with Samuel's ring tone, but this was obvious not it.
"Is something wrong? Or is there something wrong with Fill?"
Nicole subconsciously asked.
However, Samuel smiled and said, "It's fine. I've arranged everything. However, it's from Fill. I'll go
answer it. You stay here."
"Alright."
Hearing that it was Fill, Nicole did not have any desire to ask more because she knew Fill was loyal to
Samuel.
Samuel took the phone and walked out.
Only then did Nicole completely relax.
The hot spring here was really good, making her whole body feel relaxed and comfortable.
Unknowingly, Nicole leaned against the rim of the hot spring and fell asleep.
After Samuel came out, he directly pressed the answer button.
"What is it?"
Samuel was not very pleasant.
Fill knew that he had brought his children and wife here to travel, but he still called him. That could only
mean that there was something important.
Hearing Samuel's cold voice, Fill could not tell whether Samuel was angry or not. He quickly said,
"Someone has come to look for traces of you nearby."
Samuel suddenly paused, then sneered and said, "They are persistent. Who is it?"
"Chief Zack. I don't know who ordered him to look for you like you're a fugitive. This reminds me of the
moment when I was expelled and put on the wanted list many years ago."
Fill said sarcastically.
Samuel's eyes lit up slightly and he whispered, "I see. Arrange it. Since they want to find me, let them.
They probably won't be able to come to the Nine Dragons Pool."
"That's right. They all thought that you ran away. No one expected that you would have the mood to
take your wife and children on a trip. But just in case, you should watch your back. After all, he is not a
rookie. He has made some achievements in the past few years."
Fill's tone was filled with worries.
"I see. I know what to do."
After hanging up the phone, Samuel looked at the mountains and river outside, and couldn't help but
sneer.
Why on earth were those people chasing him? He wasn't very sure.
Could it be because Morgan was from the Harper Town? And they became furious because he had
contact with her.
After all, he was a famous person, and even an influential figure. What was the purpose of looking for
him with a great fanfare and even making him look like a fugitive?
And what about the situation of Edwin and the Dons who stayed behind?
Thinking of this, Samuel was somewhat worried and called Fill again.
"How is Edwin now?"
"He is trapped, and we can't reach him. He seems to be under house arrest."
Fill's words caused Samuel's eyes to suddenly turn cold.
In his memory of the Harper Town, he somewhat hated Edwin. This hatred did not come from himself
but was influenced by the Memory Bugs.
However, Edwin was Nicole's grandfather. Moreover, no one could tell what had caused the extinction
of the Harper Town back then. Even Edwin was under house arrest. Samuel did not believe it was
something that a Chief of Staff could do.
"What about the Don family?"
"Mark is not in the country, so there is no news about him. Jason has been staying in his house
recently. However, there are some people wandering around the Don's, like surveillance."
Fill's words made Samuel's lips curl into a mocking smile.
"They are really capable. Are they planning to turn the world upside down?"
"Who knows?"
Fill said mockingly.
Samuel whispered, "Send someone to protect the Don's secretly."
"I see. Jacob has arranged it."
Samuel nodded, then hung up the phone. He seemed to realize something. He lit a cigarette, smoked
one, picked up the phone again, and made a call.
A man's leisure voice came.
"Samuel, you finally call me."
The corners of Samuel's mouth twitched.
"Morty, you are in a good mood."
"Why did you say that I'm in a good mood? I'm worried about you. Where are you now?"
Morty's words came through the phone line, but it made Samuel's lips curl up a little.
"I tell you my whereabouts, and then you can bring someone to arrest me, right?"
"Why would I arrest you? What have you done?"
Morty was still talking in riddles with Samuel.
Samuel no longer wasted time and directly asked, "What's the situation now? I am at least a major
general. It is your family's intention to make me like a fugitive?"
"No. Don't accuse us for that. To be frank, this matter has nothing to do with us. It's purely your
southeast war zone's own business. They want to solve this matter by themselves, so we just pretend
that we don't know about it."
Samuel's expression turned a little ugly after hearing the words of Morty.
"You just watch this happen?"
Morty could hear the anger in Samuel's words, so he hurriedly said, "How dare us! We're afraid you'll
blow up our house with a drone. Don't worry. He knows what to do. However, this matter will depend on
how you guys want to settle it. That's why you must make a sacrifice for the time being to cooperate
with us. We all know that you will not be trapped by this small trouble, right?"
"You are so calm about it. How much do you know about what happened in the Harper Town more than
20 years ago?"
Morty shook his head, then he realized that they were talking on the phone instead of on video. He
leisurely said, "I know nothing. We didn't know about that matter. So, I said that this matter is an
internal matter of your war zone. Now, because of you, he is especially attentive about it. Naturally, he
has found out some clues after some digging. But as you know, the more powerful a person is, the
shrewder he is. They seem to sense some of our thoughts so that they are making a move now. You
happen to be a key person in this matter, so I didn't tell you in advance."
Samuel completely understood now.
The matter of the Harper Town was a secret operation of their war zone, but this operation did not
reach the top and was covered up by someone.
Now that the retaliation of the descendants of the Harper Town had exposed this matter, those people
wanted to remedy and cover it up again. So, Samuel became the key person because he had a lot of
contacts with the people of the Harper Town.
Samuel sneered and said, "He is really calm. Aren't you afraid that things go wrong, and I would be
screwed?"
"How is it possible? Isn't Fill still by your side?"
Morty's words instantly shocked Samuel.
Morty knew Fill!
Before Samuel recovered from the shock, Morty continued, "Besides, Fill is now the second-in-
command of Sky Group. As the first-in-command, what are you afraid of? Also, Silver Fox, the most
outstanding hacker in the 158 organization and one of the top three hackers on the world, is helping
you. What are you afraid of?"
The more Morty said, the uglier Samuel's expression became.
He thought that these things were all confidential, and no one knew about Fill and his identity, but he
didn't expect that Morty would know.
Samuel was nervous.
Although he had always had a good relationship with Morty, it was as if there was a sword hanging
over his head at this moment, causing him to feel danger at anytime and anywhere.
"What do you mean, Morty?"
"Don't be nervous. Samuel, you know, back then, Whitney's death was unexpected. He has been
feeling guilty of this since then. As you know, Whitney was his most proud student, but she died so
miserably. However, for the sake of the mission and the safety of other people, he had no choice but to
make such an order. However, Fill's temper was too fierce, and his feelings for Whitney were too deep.
Only then did he embark on such a path."
When Morty said this, he felt uncomfortable in his heart.
He, Fill, and Samuel, were at the same grade, and their relationship was relatively good. So, he felt
sorry about what happened to Fill.
However, Samuel did not put down his guard.
"So? What does he mean?"
Morty heard Samuel's straightforward question. He smiled and said, "Samuel, this is just typical of you.
For your friends, you become fearless. Let's put it this way. He can make the four veeps under you and
Fill his men. Do you understand what I mean?"
Samuel was stunned.
"He wants to take over Sky Group?"
"Don't put it that way. It's more like a cooperation, OK? Your family used to serve us, didn't it? But this
is really a collaboration. I admire you. You've made Sky Group so powerful that we have no choice but
to look up to you. Sky Group has a reputation in the world. We can't do many things by normal means
because we are bound by many rules. However, with the help of Sky Group, a grey area organization,
it would be much easier. Don't worry. He means that we will pay regular price for every transaction, but
we need to ensure the accuracy of the information and the completion of the task. I don't think it's going
to be a problem to Sky Group."
Morty's words made Samuel slightly stunned, but he whispered, "This is not up to me. I need to discuss
it with the other veeps before I can give you an answer."
"Of course. However, Samuel, this is a good opportunity. With his help, your subordinates will be very
safe."
"I know. That's why I must go back and discuss it with them. But if I refuse, will he let those bastards kill
me and destroy Sky Group?"
Samuel didn't want to say that, but his current stand and situation forced him to face this problem
directly, even if Morty was his best friend.
