Samuel was stunned.
Morty knew about the Golden Bug?
"Don't mess with me!"
Anger was revealed in Samuel's voice. Even though Morty had a high social status and the two of them
had been through a lot together, Samuel felt the irresistible wrath in his heart.
Morty was not an idiot. Of course he could sense Samuel's anger. However, he smiled and said,
"What? You want to come to the Capital City to kill me?"
"Yeah, I can do that. You know, nothing can get in my way. I can go anywhere as I please."
Samuel was telling the truth.
Samuel used to be a confined beast, but now he was a wild horse without the reins. There was really
nothing he was afraid of in the world.
Morty turned serious and said in a low voice, "I want to look into one guy. I can't let anyone know about
it, so I need to use your man. We've known each other for so many years. Just do me a favor, will
you?"
"Beg me."
Samuel suddenly got a good mood.
Morty would not easily beg anyone.
Others may not know him, but Samuel knew him very well.
Morty had always got his pride. Even if facing a close friend, he had never put aside his pride. After all,
his identity was indeed noble. This would be the first time he begged for help.
Samuel was expecting Morty to hang up the phone out of anger, but instead, Morty replied very
straightforwardly, "OK, I beg you. Could you please lend me your man?"
At this moment, Samuel was completely dumbfounded.
This was so not Morty.
Maybe the person he wanted to look into meant something to him.
Samuel knew Morty well. For so many years, Morty had never been close to anyone. He even
remained distant with people who had been through life-and-death adversity with him.
He had his pride.
Also, in his position, he could obtain information about anyone.
As long as he made a phone call, there would be plenty of talented people offering to work for him.
Samuel really wondered who would be the guy that Morty was trying to find. He set aside his identity
and played it so low-key.
"A woman?"
"A man."
Samuel thought that Morty played it low-key because of a woman, but Morty's answer really surprised
him.
"You are into men?"
"Damn you! I'm not a rabbit!"
Eventually, Morty failed to maintain his demeanor in the face of Samuel's weird thoughts.
Samuel chuckled, and the atmosphere was not intense anymore.
"Well, I am really curious. Who has the magic to make Mr. Morty so concerned and try to keep it from
others?"
Samuel teased him. He meant it as a casual joke, but when Morty kept silent for a while, Samuel got
confused.
"Mr. Morty?"
"I can tell you, but you have to keep this between you and me."
Morty sounded solemn.
Samuel also turned serious.
"You don't have to tell me. I'll call the man you want, but I'm not sure when he will contact you."
Samuel was just teasing Morty, but he didn't really want to know anything. He knew better than anyone
that the man Morty wanted to find out wouldn't be ordinary.
Knowing too much wouldn't do him any good. Let alone getting involved in stuff of the Capital City.
Samuel was not that stupid.
He trusted Morty, so he would ask Silver Fox to help him.
He would not get Lucas involved in it.
That child was too young. Getting involved in these stuff would be harmful to him.
Morty had no idea what Samuel was thinking. When he heard what Samuel said, he suddenly heaved
a sigh of relief and then wore a smile on his face. He said, "I've changed my mind. You have to know
about this."
"Mr. Morty, this joke isn't funny at all."
Samuel was shocked at Morty's quick change of mind.
Morty was always so willful.
Then Morty said nonchalantly, "It's about Nicole. Are you sure you don't want to hear it?"
Nicole was Samuel's weak spot. It really sounded tempting.
Seeing Nicole's puzzled face, Samuel covered the phone with his hand and then said to Nicole, "Why
don't you go get me a cup of coffee? I'm a little thirsty."
Nicole knew that Samuel was trying to get her out of there.
She was okay with it. She didn't care at all if Samuel didn't want her to know something. She believed
he could handle everything well.
"Alright. Just hurry up. The coffee won't taste good when it gets cold."
Nicole gave him a smile before turning around.
After Nicole entered the café, Samuel whispered, "Why does it have anything to do with my wife?"
Morty heard the conversation between the couple clearly and now he smiled, "Why don't you let your
wife listen? Maybe she's interested too."
"Mr. Morty, my patience is limited. If you go way out of line, I might not lend you my man."
"Samuel, you're ruthless."
Morty stopped joking with him and directly said, "I wanted to look into William Don."
The name surprised Samuel.
"Who?"
"William Don, your wife's second uncle."
Samuel got completely frozen.
"Why do you want to look into him?"
Morty took a deep breath and said, "It's none of your business."
Samuel had no idea why Morty wanted to look into William. He said, "Mr. Morty, I hate to break it to
you. But William may be already dead."
"No, he's still alive, although he is as good as dead."
Morty's answer made Samuel's heart skip a beat.
"How do you know?"
"I got my way. All you need to do is to let your man find out his whereabouts. As for the rest, it's no
good for you to know too much."
Morty had a tight mouth.
Samuel felt a little worried.
"Has William been involved in anything about the upper class?"
He had to know about that.
If that was the case, even if he had to risk his life for offending Morty, he would not help him. After all,
that was Nicole's second uncle, her family.
Morty knew what Samuel was worried about. He sighed and said, "William has nothing to do with the
upper class. It's personal issue between me and him."
"When William was in trouble, you have just been born. Mr. Morty, how is it possible that you two have
personal issues? You were just a baby. What? You knew him from your last life?"
Morty was choked by Samuel's questions.
"Samuel, have you read too many novels lately? What are you thinking?"
"Then tell me why you try to find William. Although you're Morty, the heir to the Hill family, William is my
wife's family. If I don't know what this is all about, I won't help you. I might even turn against you."
Hearing Samuel's threat, Morty was speechless.
"You took side so quickly. Your lady is more important than your buddy, right? Have you forgotten who
helped you before?"
"That's different. I know you have helped me and I will pay you back. However, these are two different
things."
Samuel took a firm stand.
Morty then resigned and said, "How did I become friends with people like you?"
"There's nothing you can do. You need a buddy like me to help build your kingdom."
"Piss off!"
Morty had never known that Samuel, who had always looked indifferent, would be so shameless.
Today, he knew him better.
When it came to anything about Nicole, Samuel wouldn't show you any mercy.
Morty pondered for a moment and whispered, "I can tell you, but it's the Hill family's scandal. It must be
kept from the world. I'll tell you only. But if anyone else knows about it, you know what will happen to
you."
"Threatening me again? Is it fun?"
Samuel knew how Morty was. Although he still held the airs, he had never really meant it.
Morty felt speechless at Samuel's reaction.
"Samuel, that's not cute of you."
"Cute can't be used to describe a man. Sorry, compliment rejected."
Samuel was now better at attacking others.
Morty checked the time and found that the two of them had been chatting for quite some time, so he
whispered, "It's because of my aunt."
"Your aunt? You have an aunt?"
Samuel was a little surprised.
After all, the Hills had always been the focus of attention. If Morty had an aunt, he should have known
about it.
Morty then kept a low voice. "I told you it's a scandal. So, few people know about it. This has been
blocked by my father. We are not allowed to bring up my aunt again. But my aunt was nice to me, so I
have to find her."
"Is it related to William?"
"Yes, my aunt liked William. You know, we Hills had been through a hard time and had almost fallen
from the pedestal. At that time, the Hills wanted to set up a marriage between the Hill family and the
Don family. You know the Don family's power in the army. As long as my aunt marries any son from the
Don family, we Hills will have enough strength to overcome the difficulties. That was an informal blind
date. And the man from the Don family was William."
Samuel did not know about this, and perhaps Nicole did not know either. If Morty didn't bring it up, no
one would have thought that the Don family would have such great luck back then.
However, Samuel knew that William liked Sally, so he wouldn't marry Morty's aunt. However, the Dons
then would not have the nerve to reject it. After all, even if the Hill family was in trouble, it still got great
power.
Samuel pondered for a moment and asked, "William agreed to it?"
"Kind of, but just as the marriage was settled, William went abroad and claimed that he was doing
some research, but everyone knew that he was trying to escape from the marriage. At that time, my
aunt was really angry. We Hills wanted to ask for an explanation. However, my aunt liked William. She
said that she would not rush him to marry her. She would give him time to think about it. At that time, it
was undoubtedly worse for us. Because my aunt can wait, but the Hill family can't. So we did a very
despicable thing."
