The pain Johnathan was enduring would’ve been unbearable for most. Yet he didn’t make a sound. Not only did he remain silent–he kept thinking.

The more his body ached, the sharper his mind became.

Suddenly, a thought struck him. He spoke through clenched teeth.

“Mateo, look into what White’s been doing the past few days.”

Mateo didn’t know why Johnathan would suddenly be interested in some foreigner’s whereabouts, especially now. But he didn’t question it and immediately got to work.

Tracking White was easy. In no time, Mateo summarized what he found:

“Nothing out of the ordinary. That day when North Salem University got locked down, he was investigated like everyone else. Since then, he’s been with Pei Shaomin. No unusual movements.”

“You think he’s suspicious?” Mateo asked.

“Give me his number,” Johnathan said.

For Mateo, pulling a phone number was child’s play. A few clicks and he sent it over.

Johnathan called White. It rang for a while before the other end picked up.

“Hello? Who is this?“.

“This is Johnathan,” he said. “Wanna make a deal?”

The voice on the other end hesitated. He clearly hadn’t expected a call like this from Johnathan.

“A deal? With you? No thanks. You’re just like Sierra.”
