Bring Your A Game, Mr

Chapter 496 Who’s That?

Tina laughed upon hearing that. “Your self-introduction was quite special.”

“Yeah? I thought so too.” Elise giggled.

“You helped me, so let’s exchange numbers. I’ll treat you to a meal some time after this.” Tina took out her phone with the intention to get Elise’s number.

“There’s no need. Let’s talk about it in person tomorrow.”

As Elise had things in both her hands, she was unable to take out her phone, so she rejected Tina’s offer. Then, the former turned around and strode off in the direction where she had come from.

When she returned to her room, she turned on the computer to contact Joseph while she ate.

Joseph, whose body was still weak, was not in any condition to take a plane, so he didn’t come along. Instead, he remained in Athesea to monitor the internal communication of the SK Group.

However, that wasn’t the reason why Elise looked for him at that moment. In fact, it was due to the poster of the stall owner.

When she was at the food street earlier, she took note of all the details on the poster. The stall owner’s son was a physics graduate student from a research institute in Dukethorn, who had gained the lecturers’ special attention due to his outstanding academic performance. He had mysteriously gone missing six months ago and nobody knew whether he was currently dead or alive.

Researchers usually had dull and boring lifestyles and they rarely made enemies. Therefore, it was apparent that this person’s disappearance was more or less related to the suicide case of the physicist from Athesea.

Joseph soon went online, but he used the new identity that Elise had given him and a separate communication channel.

‘Did everything go well with your trip to Dukethorn?’ he texted, to which she replied, ‘Everything’s good. I need you to analyze a set of data right away. Please tabulate the total number of physicists that we have in our country in the past two years.’

Joseph then typed, ‘Ten minutes.’

The national database was relatively vast, so it would take time to analyze the data.
