Chapter 208: Under Surveillance Chapter 208: Under Surveillance Somto nodded, stepping inside the room with his usual calm demeanor.

He wasn’t angry at Carl for being here, nor was he particularly surprised.

He had expected Nnenna to need someone to talk to.

And since he hadn’t been available while making his own preparations, he was actually grateful that Carl had been.

As he walked in, his eyes immediately went to Nnenna, observing her carefully.

“How are you doing?” Somto asked, his voice steady as always.

“Fine,” Nnenna answered with a single word, her tone unreadable.

Then she let out a small sigh, glancing between the two of them.

“Well, now that the cat’s out of the bag, I guess you guys must be really happy,” she added with absolute certainty.

A frown flickered across Somto’s face.

“You’re not going to participate in the hunt?” he asked, his tone sharper than before.

“I am,” she replied.

“I was just about to leave when you came over, actually.” Silence settled between them, thick and awkward.

None of them seemed to know what to say next.

Somto’s gaze wandered around the room, his years of training making unconscious security checks a habit.

Then, his eyes landed on something.

Something that shouldn’t be there.

A small piece of sleek black metal peeked out from under Nnenna’s duvet, not entirely covered.

His mind processed it instantly, was that…a phone?

His jaw tightened.

Without warning, he stepped forward and pulled the duvet away.

There it was.
