All Her Secrets

Catherine set down her utensils and casually remarked, "There's no need for you to do that if you merely want to give us space." Drake was stunned for a while. Zobber beside him rudely kicked his chair. " Kid, stay put. Next time, if you want to make an excuse, make it believable." Drake sat down slowly with a faint smirk playing on his lips. He was clearly in good spirits.

Though he tried to control it, his ears betrayed him by turning red.

He genuinely didn't smoke. He thought Catherine wanted to discuss something privately with Zobber, so he found an excuse to leave.

For a professional esports player like him, smoking could be detrimental because it could lead to a range of health issues, with the most severe potentially affecting reaction time.

Therefore, smoking and drinking were prohibited for professional esports players.

Since Catherine let Drake stay, Zobber knew Catherine's intention. As such, she reported the situation to Catherine without hesitation before Drake.

She said, "Catherine, we have cracked the files and handed them to the higher authorities. Moreover, we have uncovered two Rexinheim's contact stations in Loxton, all of which have been shut down." The reason Zobber and Withal took so long on this mission was primarily because they took on another task right after accepting one, which caused a delay in their progress.

Though their organization wasn't tied to any specific nation, its members were all Eskana citizens. Whenever Eskana needed help, they'd offer resources without hesitation.

When Catherine instructed them to proceed, Zobber and Withal were made aware that the mission cwith risks and no reward. However, they accepted it without conditions.

Even Drake stumbled upon this task online and volunteered after knowing they needed help.

Certain things could lead to a diplomatic incident if Eskana were to intervene directly.

However, if it were them, any issues would be attributed to a personal mission by a mysterious organization and would create a lesser impact.
