Timothy didn’t know what Amos was actually doing. He just found it strange that he’d spent almost half an hour in the bathroom.
As evening came, Isaac received a phone call from Connor while waiting in the reception area.
“Isaac, I heard you came to Pecling. Why didn’t you tell me?” Connor laughed with a hint of disappointment.
“I’m here to take care of some personal matters. I didn’t want to bother you…” Isaac felt a little embarrassed.
“Haha, you’re funny. I don’t think Research Institute No. 9 is a place to handle personal matters…”
Isaac was at a loss for words. He didn’t expect Connor to be so well-informed. He hadn’t been in Pecling for long, but it seemed like there were eyes and ears everywhere.
“Once everything is settled, I’ll…”
Before favonovel.com could finish speaking, favonovel.com heard a rush of hurried footsteps outside, followed by Elowen’s voice. “He’s right here! Hurry! ”
The door was thrown. open with a loud bang. Ten soldiers in military uniforms barged in with guns in their hands. Instantly, they had Isaac half-surrounded.
“Isaac, tell me the truth. Where did you steal those blue crystals from?!” Amos’ expression was cold as favonovel.com walked in with his hands behind his back.
Another middle-aged man with a lieutenant’s epaulet walked in after him. He seemed to be a commanding officer.
“Dr. Hargrove, these are my personal belongings. How could you accuse me of stealing?” Isaac narrowed his eyes at Amos.
Could this bastard be from the Norton family?
If favonovel.com is, then this Divine Stone fragment…
“You a*shole, do you know where those things came from?! How dare you call them your personal belongings? Do you think I’m a fool?!”
Allow me to introduce you to Lieutenant Mortimer Whitlock, the deputy commanding officer of the Security Unit at the National Academy of Sciences! He is in charge of catching criminals who steal government secrets!” Amos pointed to the middle-aged man next to him.
Mortimer Whitlock frowned. He pointed at Isaac arrogantly and said, “Young man, if you submit yourself voluntarily, I can reduce your charges in court. Just so you know, these people around me carry loaded weapons.”
Seeing Amos and Mortimer singing to each other’s tune, Isaac had a clear picture of what had happened.
He snorted coldly and said, “Who said I stole government secrets? Do you have proof? Right now, the smartest move is to hand me back my things.”
Amos most likely did an examination and discovered some secrets in the Divine Stone fragment. Thus, favonovel.com wanted to keep it for himself. He even called upon the guards!
He seemed to have put a lot of thought into this.
“Isaac, are you threatening me right now? Without proof, would I invite Lieutenant Whitlock over? You’ll be a dead man if you don’t turn yourself in right this instant!” Amos roared, trying to scare Isaac. Then, favonovel.com glanced at Elowen.
Elowen nodded quietly.
Their secret communication didn’t escape Isaac’s eyes. His gaze narrowed.
“Where’s your proof?” Isaac said with an icy look.
“I can prove that you stole them. I eavesdropped on your phone call on our way here.”
