The Author's POV

Chapter 603

"Did you get the files?"

"Yes, I've got them."

Hemlock smiled back at Brian as he flashed a card in his direction. The card was in fact a small USB stick in disguise.

"Excellent."

As he looked around, he expressed his heartfelt praise. Observing the surroundings, his eyes were filled with vigilance and alertness.

"It would be a bit troublesome if the others caught us…not that it would be any problem for me, but I don't necessarily want the others to know of me yet..."

He murmured in a low voice.

Catching his whisper, Smallsnake asked.

"Did you say something?"

"No."

Hemlock shook his head while he continued to look around.

As of now, they were in a nice lobby filled with a lot of people who were walking around, each of whom was wearing a nice suit with hair that was neatly combed. In order to blend with them, Brian and Hemlock were also wearing similar attires, but Hemlock's looks were too much of a problem as they attracted everyone's attention wherever he went.

"Let's leave for now."

Hemlock rose from the sofa and headed toward the elevator, much to Brian's confusion.

"Why are we leaving right now? Don't we have to hand this USB stick?"

"Not yet."

Hemlock pressed the elevator button and a small circular yellow light flashed around the button.

Turning around, he looked at Brian.

"Brian, don't say anything for now. Let's find a quieter spot so I can talk to you."

"…Okay?"

Though confused, Brian nodded his head.

Though the situation looked sketchy, he trusted Hemlock and followed his instructions. It showed how much he trusted him.

"I knew you would understand…"

Hemlock quietly murmured with a smile.

Ding—!

With a low chime, the elevator door slowly opened and he took a step in. Brian followed him from behind.

After that, the elevator doors slowly began to close.

"So, what did you want to say to me?"

Taking Hemlock's gaze, Brian looked down at his glass cup filled with whiskey and ice before lowering it.

As Hemlock sipped his drink, which was the same as Brian's, he slowly put it on the wooden counter before him.

A tranquil atmosphere permeated the area they were in as dim light covered the area they were in.

"Brian.."

He muttered in a low tone while shaking the glass in his hand.

"Yes?"

Tilting his head a little, Brian was taken aback by his behavior.

'Is there something wrong with him?'

His current state…

How could Brian explain it? He seemed different from the usual person he knew.

"Did something happen, Hemlock?"

He asked, his voice tinged with a little worry.
