Griffon, someone named Z is calling you. Who is this? Why do they have a code name?"
Griffon expressionlessly reached out to take the call, then let go of Taya's hand and walked out of the study.
Seeing him take the call and avoid them, Preston felt suspicious and quickly poked Taya's clothes with a pen.
"Aren't you curious about who this Zis?"
Taya, who knew it was Zack calling, shook her head.
"You're too trusting…
Preston, who didn't know Griffon's other identity, pointed to the man standing outside the study, frowning as he answered the phone.
"Look at him, he's good-looking and has a great figure. He's bound to attract attention when he goes out."
"That Z looks like a seductive and charming young girl. You need to be careful!"
The seductive and charming young girl, with his head tied up in a bandage, was having a video call with Griffon.
"Alpha…"
When Griffon saw Zack in the video, his dark and deep pupils slightly dilated…
"What's wrong with you?"
"Don't even mention it."
Zack touched his swollen face and cried out:
"I didn't change my identity just to get close to Johnny's sister. I only applied to be her bodyguard."
"Who knew she was stronger than the bodyguards and insisted on exercising with me every morning."
"She hit my face and head…"
I suspect she knows that I approached her for a purpose…"
"Waaah… and also…"
"Get to the point.".
Griffon interrupted Zack's long complaint with four cold words.
Seeing theGriffon wasn't in the mood to listen to his troubles, Zack had to stop.
"Sir, do you remember Mr. Ben?"
"Hmm."
Mr. Ben was one of his subordinates, so he of course remembered him.
"I recently tried to contact him to investigate Johnny, but couldn't reach him."
"Other members said that he disappeared after dealing with Tara."
veryone thought he received a mission from headquarters and went on a solo mission, so he didn't report to me."
Their tasks in S were sometimes done in teams, and sometimes individually. This was a common occurrence, but the key was…
"I couldn't get in touch with him, so I sent someone to inquire. The news I received was that Mr. Ben had betrayed S and joined Erebus."
Griffon's expression darkened. Members of S have always been loyal and wouldn't join Erebus for no reason.
"Did you say that Mr. Ben disappeared after dealing with Tara?"
"Yes."
"Didn't I ask you to handle Tara personally? Why did you give it to Mr. Ben?"
Zack felt guilty when he heard this.
"I'm sorry, sir. You asked me to investigate the truth about the your big brother's death, and I was in a hurry to investigate, so I gave it to Mr. Ben."
"Did Mr. Ben really handle Tara at that time?"
"He sent me a message saying he did, but I didn't see it with my own eyes…
In other words, it's unknown whether Tara was dealt with properly.
And Mr. Ben joined Erebus "after dealing with Tara"…
Recently, Zack said that Elder Thorin was also rescued by Erebus.
Could it be that Tara didn't die and was taken to a secret place by Mr. Ben, so that Erebus' people came to rescue Elder?
But…
When he went to see Tara for the last time, he Tara knew his true identity, so she would definitely bring Erebus' people to retaliate against him, but she didn't.
Moreover, Erebus' people have not yet announced that Griffon is the leader behind S.
Also… why didn't Mr. Ben handle Tara? Did they make some kind of deal?
Assuming Tara is not dead, there are still many things that don't make sense.
Assuming Tara is dead, it still doesn't make sense why Erebus' people would save Elder.
When his thoughts were in disarray, Zack spoke up again:
"Sir, the person who was guarding Tara before was Ben. They spent some time together. Could it be that Ben developed feelings for her?"
Zack meant that the reason why Ben not dealt with Tara and even betrayed S to join Erebus was because Ben had feelings for her.
However, even Griffon was informed by Master Davies and had to witness it with his own eyes to know about Erebus' existence. How did Ben know about the secret operation?
Griffon couldn't figure it out. Now, the only thing he was worried about was that Ben and Tara knew his
uty, and
to him.
was
he biggest threat
"Zack, have Joe quickly investigate whether Tara is really dead, and make sure to capture Ben and bring him to me!"
He wanted to ask Ben why he betrayed S?!
"Okay, I'll do it right away."
"Also, find out if Joe has figured out why Johnny was looking for Rosalie."
"Sir, I have only
een Gigi Brook from the Brook pack so far. Johnny hasn't even shown his face. I'll try to find a way to sneak into the hospital and ask the old lady."
The young man's mouth was too tight. Zack tried to inquire several times, but was beaten up by Johnny's sister Gigi.
Griffon hung up the video call after saying "quickly."
When he turned to look at Taya again, his chaotic
thoughts slowly became clear.
Although there were still many doubts, one thing was certain…
Tara, Elder, Johnny, Herb, Sumasa, Ashley, Master Davies, including Erebus, are all key figures surrounding Taya's identity…
Taya in the study is rolling her eyes at Preston.
"What are you talking about? Griffon would never cheat."
"Then tell me, who is this person named Z?"
"He's just a friend of his."
"Is Za guy or a girl?"
"Of course he's a guy!"
"Uh oh, Griffon' S**ual orientation has changed."
She rolls her eyes at Preston again, but accidentally catches a glimpse of the man standing outside the
study
Seeing him finish his call and still standing by the French window, looking at her thoughtfully through the gla*s, she furrows her brows slightly.
She stands up, walks out of the study, and comes to Griffon. "Honey, what's wrong? Did something happen for Zack to call you at this time?"
After shaking his head lightly, he reaches out and hugs her. "Dear, I will arrange many bodyguards to protect you and Grace next. Don't find it annoying."
Hearing that he was going to arrange bodyguards to protect her again, A guessed that something had happened to S. She nodded considerately, "Okay, I'll' listen to you. After all, you are my husband."
He is her husband, the one who will be with her for the rest of her life, protecting her and loving her. This is what she wants to do for her mother, to live a good life for the two of them.
He raised his hand and touched her hair. He didn't know what kind of danger they would face next, but
he only hoped to live well. Only by living well can he protect and love her.
When the two of them embrace tightly, Preston's loud voice came from inside, "Taya, your phone is ringing. Oh, it's an international call. Come and answer it quickly…"
