Chapter 0679

At that moment, Paul was attending an academic conference. Night had fully fallen, and it was nearing 7: 00 pm. The conference was reaching its conclusion, and when the host called his name, Paul stepped up to the podium to deliver the closing remarks.

During his speech, his phone vibrated twice, but he couldn’t answer. He suddenly felt a gnawing sense of unease. It was a flutter of nerves that wouldn’t let up.

Paul gave a concise summary of the main points discussed during the conference. His remarks were insightful and to the point while the audience listened intently, nodding in agreement. But those who knew him well noticed something was different about his presentation that day.
