The Legendary Man

Chapter 640 Big Explosion

“You don’t have to,” Jonathan said impassively when he saw that Geoffrey was about to turn around to leave. Geoffrey lowered his head. “I’m sorry, Mr. Goldstein. I messed up the first task you assigned me.”

“It has nothing to do with you.” Jonathan chuckled. “It’s pointless to check the records for the month before the last. Those guys would have already been sent to every part of the country in a month. We have no way of knowing their itinerary even if the ones who crossed our borders are foreign intelligence officers.

Also, I’ve worked with Karl for three years, so I know him well. Doveston’s current military arrangement wouldn’t have been so messy if he had it planned out. They have resources from three states, yet their major forces are concentrated in Horbah.

No doubt they are giving away the administration of Terrandya and Baridoki on a silver platter. It merely facilitates infiltration into those two states, and that is a huge taboo in military strategy.”

Jonathan’s brows furrowed when he recalled the happenings of the past few days. He continued, “Going forward from the point of time of the incident in Mysonna, I think it didn’t take more than two weeks when Karl decided to betray us. Even if Jetroina and the other nations had started preparing to invade Doveston after they received news about Karl’s betrayal, it would at most be within that timeline. Hence, you investigating for a month is more than enough. I’m certain Terrandya and Baridoki have been infiltrated, but we have no idea what method they used to erase their tracks.”

Here, Jonathan lifted his head and glanced at Geoffrey. “Oh right, the intelligence network in Doveston and Asura’s Office have lost all lines of communication. Did you manage to contact anyone in Baridoki?”

“I can contact Camden Lamont, the chief in Baridoki, directly,” Geoffrey said casually.

Jonathan was stunned when he heard that. “You can even reach Camden? Both of you are in different regions. How did you get in touch with him?”

“Um…”

Geoffrey hesitated but decided to tell Jonathan the truth.

“Seamus had plans to take over the entire intelligence network in Doveston early on but didn’t get a chance, so he planted his men beside Camden, Knox, and the rest to find their weaknesses. Camden may seem loyal to Seamus, but he doesn’t intend to work for Seamus forever, so he planted a spy next to Seamus too.”

Jonathan looked at Geoffrey speechlessly.
