Chapter 926: Why Won't This General Leave Their Home?

Jennie almost burst out laughing. Covering her mouth, she signaled to Hugo with a glance, urging him to speak truthfully about everything, while she headed to the kitchen to prepare dinner. She decided to share this rare spectacle with Tina. At that moment, Tina was on her way back from another location. This time, she had discovered another female corpse-once again, the heart had been removed. All the victims were young women. When she received Jennie's message, the corner of her mouth twitched. She turned to Hayden in the driver's seat and said, "Forget heading to the Pace family. Take us to the Reed family instead."

Hayden immediately turned the car around, his compliance almost cheerful. "Got it! Perfect timing-I've been craving Jennie's cooking. That last body we moved was ridiculously heavy..." Qin Feng, sitting in the backseat, remained silent.

Something about these two seemed... suspicious.

Jared, seated beside Tina, wrapped an arm around her waist and asked softly, "What's going on?"

Tina found herself at a loss for words to describe the bizarre scene she had just witnessed. So, she simply handed her phone to Jared.

After scanning the screen, Jared's brow furrowed, and he blurted out, "What a sight to behold." Then, with a faint smirk, he added, "Looks like your father's getting desperate." Tina knew exactly why Ruud had gone to the Reed family, and it left her exasperated. "I just hope he doesn't scare Hugo and Jennie. Especially Hugo-he's easily spooked."

An hour later.

Hugo sat across from Ruud, staring at the man's notebook, which was filled with densely packed notes. Ruud hadn't even spared the offhand remarks Hugo had made to Tina in the past. At this point, Hugo couldn't help but believe the man's intentions were genuine.

This guy was really here to learn!

But General Praevion's enthusiasm was overwhelming, leaving Hugo utterly exhausted.

Now, he felt nothing but the urge to call for help.

Tina! Yes, only Tina could make this man leave.

Just as Hugo reached for his phone to text Tina, Ruud's low voice interrupted him again.

"Mr. Reed, earlier you mentioned that Tina doesn't like being hugged. Could you clarify-what kind of hug are we talking about?"

Hugo was speechless.

When Jennie walked in from the kitchen, she saw Hugo throwing her a desperate look, practically begging for rescue.
