Chapter 323 Capturing Venom
Chapter 323 Capturing Venom
"You've gone crazy! You've only known him for less than half a day, and you've already fallen for him? We haven't even figured out his identity yet!" Jane's eyes widened as she stared directly at her best friend.
Jane and Darcy had been friends since high school, all the way through college. Jane was well aware of Darcy's personality, despite her seemingly flirtatious exterior resembling a social butterfly.
In reality, Darcy had never been in a decent relationship despite being quite popular among the opposite sex at school, and she would often reject suitors with an attitude that implied, "Other guys are just like little kids, creatures thinking with the lower half of their bodies. It's more reliable to rely on myself to find a boyfriend."
The last time Jane went through a breakup, Darcy mocked her relentlessly, even going so far as to vow that she would never fall into the trap of a man easily. Yet now... she surrendered willingly so quickly?
However, if it was Mr. Carl, it was somewhat understandable— after all, no matter how critical the gaze, he was the perfect urban elite that did not exist in reality.
"His identity is that of the head of a company, right? And he is someone guaranteed by your professional mentor. Could he be a fraud?" Darcy retorted immediately, her eyes revealing a hazy spring-like affection.
Jane had wanted to persuade her a bit more, but seeing Darcy's determined look, she could only helplessly shrug and say, "I know, no matter what I say now, you won't listen. But I still have to remind you, that Mr. Carl is not someone a girl like you can handle."
"If I don't try, how will I know?" Darcy bit her lip, grabbed Jane's arm, and stubbornly said, "Jane, I have come all the way to this godforsaken place with you. You need to help me with this."
"What's your plan?" Jane sighed and asked.
"You have alcohol in your car, right? We can..." Darcy began to say, her face flushing with two bright spots, and her suggestive words shocked Jane.
Jane decisively refused, "Your approach is a self-destructive method, absolutely not. And do you think Professor and Thor are non-existent?"
"What should we do then..." Darcy looked at Jane with pleading eyes. Jane, feeling a bit soft-hearted, began to teach her limited dating techniques.
So, the two recent college graduates, hiding in a corner of the wilderness, secretly discussed the mysteries of life.
By the campfire at the campsite.
Kyle looked up and casually glanced at Jane and Darcy twenty meters away before quickly withdrawing his gaze and proceeding to finish the golden-brown chicken wings he had grilled.
It wasn't that he wanted to eavesdrop intentionally, but the distance of more than twenty meters, with his extraordinarily keen hearing, was almost equivalent to a whispered conversation right next to his ear.
Sometimes having good hearing wasn't such a good thing!
Kyle silently tusked as he listened with a bit of boredom as the two girls planned and schemed about how to capture him.
"Uh, Kyle... Mr. Carl," Erik respectfully lowered his voice and inquired of Kyle, "About today's SHIELD matter..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Kyle understood his meaning and said in a calm tone, "It's fine. They won't trouble you guys anymore, and after tomorrow, the equipment they
"Alright. Bring them back to the Empire Tower for a practical test, and handle the specific arrangements yourself. I will probably need to stay in Mexico for about another day. Understand the situation here, and I'll return as soon as possible," Kyle didn't overthink it and immediately issued orders.
"Yes, Boss."
Raina originally wanted to mention Lorna's situation, but considering Lorna's pride and the severe consequences of angering the Boss, she chose to conceal it.
