Chapter 824: Stick to the plan

"I'm revealing this to you and only you because I want to give you reassurance. I can help you."

Help.

All this time, Stephen had thought he wouldn't get any help. After all, those people had ambushed him right in front of the police station, erasing all hope for him from the get-go. With how things went down, Stephen believed he was up against a very powerful force.

And if he didn't listen, his entire world would come crashing down.

They cornered him at his most desperate moment, and taking advantage of this desperation, they extinguished any sight of hope. It was as though Stephen had fallen into a hypnotic trance, unable to see a way out anymore.

But hearing that word, "Help," made him wonder if it was possible.

"Slater..." Stephen hurriedly scooted to the corner of the couch, closing the distance between them. He pointed at Slater's pocket with a trembling finger. "That-that ID... is it... is it real? It says Homeland Security Special Division-are you really not pranking me?"

"Even if I'm as foolish as you think I am, do you think I'd joke about something like this?"

Stephen gulped. "Are you sure you can help me? I mean, how did you even get in there? You're a celebrity. How come no one knows about this? No, your father probably knows, huh? Or maybe Atlas-Hugo! He must know, right?"

"Correction, I am an artist, not a celebrity. Even if I'm going to fall into that category, the right term is superstar," Slater corrected. "Second, no, they don't know. Surprisingly, you're the only one who knows. I didn't expect it either, but I've already revealed it to you."

"..." Stephen studied Slater with shaky eyes, unsure whether he should fully believe him now. But then again, this was no joking matter.
