Captivation: Want Nothing But You

Chapter 522: Make A Choice (Part Seven)

The guy in black examined the phone after seizing it.Before placing it in his pocket, he inspected it multiple times.Then, he turned around, proceeded to the car’s rear door.

unlocked it, and stared at Davis.Davis moistened his lips and, after some hesitation, entered the vehicle.

The car’s heat welcomed him as soon as he climbed in.He was instantly warmed.

"Have we not already agreed that we shouldn’t meet?"

Davis scowled and fixed his gaze on the guy in the seat across from him.

After glancing at Davis, the guy turned his head and peered at the man sitting in the passenger seat of the car.The subordinate comprehended and tossed the prepared object towards Davis.

"Here you go." Davis grabbed it. It wasn’t very large.

The thing was square in shape.He studied it in the dull yellow light of the automobile.

It was a little block, yet there was a minor bulge at the block’s edge.

A USB connector sprang out as he squeezed the bulge.

"U disk?" Davis stared at the guy again, perplexed.

"Include its contents in your investigational materials.Don’t worry, I’m here to help.I won’t harm you.I can help you save time and go home early instead," the man said.

As Davis heard this, he got back his bearings.

"Is it connected to Victor?"

The guy responded with silence.

Davis decided to put it in his pocket rather than keep asking and getting no answers.

"You’re free to go now," the guy remarked.

Davis was shocked.

The man’s statements made him a bit irate.It seemed like the guy was giving him orders, despite the fact that they were collaborating.

"Odin, with regard to my appraisal of the professional title next month…" Davis gazed at him.

"Not to worry.You’ll be the one to gain the honor.My plan is to allow you to occupy a position that you never think possible when this problem is resolved."

Odin’s mysterious and deadly demeanor was enhanced by his cocked head.

Through his profound eyes, nobody could discern what he was thinking.His glare scared Davis.He gulped and said, "It’s nice to see how good your memory is.Before this is resolved, you should not meet with me.The worst-case scenario is that someone sees us."

When the guy in the passenger seat heard it, he pulled a long face and scowled.

"MI.Sullivan has come to assist you in resolving this situation as quickly as possible.Make sure you’re not ungrateful."

"What…"

"You still don’t appear to know your identity." Odin smirked. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

"We are not in a cooperative partnership."

In a matter of seconds, Davis’ expression altered.

"My motives are purely selfless," Odin said.

"You were not resigned to working under Kent.Coincidently, the project of the Sullivan Group had a problem, but you had no idea what to do about it.I saw your plight and felt compassion for you, so I offered to assist you."

What Odin stated entirely dissociated him from any collaboration.If everything went according to plan, there would be no worries.

Davis, on the other hand, would bear all the blame if anything went wrong and the subject was made public, which had nothing to do with Odin.

Davis opened his lips with the intent to contradict.

Odin spoke before he could respond.

"Talents are abundant in Apliaria.I’ve heard a number of people have just joined your bureau.Everyone wants to try it for himself."

Davis couldn’t say anything.

"According to my sources, all of them have exceptional abilities."

Odin curved his lips.

"Didn’t you and Kent both join the bureau at the same time? Well, he’s been promoted to second in charge.After this problem is resolved, I suppose he will become the bureau’s next director."

"Don’t waste time with tangents."

Davis wasn’t a dunce.He could see what Odin was trying to say, but he was too stubborn to let go of his pride.

"All I have is pure intentions.I’m just trying to help you out," Odin said slowly.

"The individual I’m assisting today may be you or someone else.Almost each of us desires to be successful and renowned, so you’re not alone.Furthermore, it’s possible that those folks aren’t all that bad.It’s possible that they’ll surprise me more than you might."

"What are you talking about?"

Odin extended his hand and assisted Davis in adjusting his collar.

"This means you need to be aware of your place.It’s my decision whether or not to meet you, not yours."

After saying so, Odin used some force to yank Davis’ collar.

Davis’ collar was tight around his neck.

The slight discomfort made him understand that Odin was a horrible guy and that working with him was like asking a tiger for its skin.

For a split second, he was overcome with fear.

"Of course, if you are still unsatisfied, we may act as if we have never met.I’ll choose someone else for this task."

Odin undid Davis’ collar, retrieved a moist tissue, and cleaned his hands.

Davis opened his mouth and stiffened his jaw.He attempted to say something, but was unable to do so.

Odin cocked his head and regarded him.

"What? Surely you don’t want to miss out on this chance, right?"

"I… I…"

Davis didn’t want to concede that Odin was correct, but he didn’t want to let it go either.

Things had finally reached this point.If he gave up now, his efforts would be in vain.He was forty years old and had been confined to a cramped office for a decade.He shared the office with the newcomers.He had witnessed the younger staff get promoted over the last decade.

In the event of a promotion, he eagerly awaited his name to be mentioned.His career did not advance, though.

Seeing some of his colleagues promoted was too much for Davis to handle.He was envious of everyone, no matter how old they were or how close they were to him.

Kent was the man he envied the most.He acted as if he didn’t care, but he was well aware that whenever they were together everyone’s attention would always be drawn to Kent.He was jealous.
