Eder noticed panic in her eyes and became suspicious. Doubts emerged within him.

Eder’s expression darkened, and he stood up to retrieve her phone. “Then I’ll answer it for you.”

“Alright, let’s talk business.”

Nick smirked, then turned serious. “Tonight, before 11 p.m., come to the abandoned chemical factory in S City’s eastern suburbs. You can bring bodyguards, but remember, only you can enter Room 302 on the fifth floor!”
