CHAPTER 289: CHAPTER 289 UNLESS KALEB YOU BETRAY ME...

After speaking, he took out his phone and made a call.

When the call connected, he spoke coldly: "Kaleb, come here."

"Alright, I’ll come right up." Hearing Kaleb’s response, Virgil Davies hung up the phone.

Two minutes later, the office door was knocked on, and Kaleb walked in.

Virgil Davies turned around to look at Kaleb, "Kaleb, come, I have something to tell you."

Kaleb stepped forward and stood not far from Virgil Davies, "Boss, tell me whatever you need."

"Good!" Virgil Davies praised, patting Kaleb’s shoulder, "Here’s the thing, I need to go out for a while. During this time, keep an eye on the weapons depot."

"Boss, rest assured, as long as I’m here, the weapons depot will be absolutely secure." Kaleb assured Virgil Davies.

"Hmm, I trust you." Virgil Davies said confidently, "After all, besides me, you’re the only one who knows about the weapons depot."

Kaleb, "Thank you for your trust, Boss!"

Virgil Davies’s eyes were cold and piercing as he stared at Kaleb, "During my absence, keep a close watch on any movements from all sides, and don’t let them discover any information about the weapons depot!"

After speaking, he added, "But it won’t be easy for them to find out, unless you betray me, Kaleb!"

Kaleb looked directly at Virgil Davies with a frank gaze, "Boss, if you don’t trust me, you might as well kill me now!"

"Why would I not trust you? If I didn’t, you wouldn’t be alive now, would you?" As he said this, Virgil Davies radiated an unrestrained aura of murderous intent.

After speaking, he looked at Kaleb and said with authority, "During my absence, make sure to keep a close watch on the weapons depot. If there’s the slightest disturbance, contact me immediately!"

...

The trust of Virgil Davies has never truly existed.

He never granted Kaleb any real power, nor did he give him any access to the weapons depot.

He guarded against everyone in this world.

Even when sleeping, he kept his eyes half-open.

When he called Kaleb over before leaving, it was less about giving instructions than about warning, threatening.

After all, he made it very clear that apart from him, Kaleb was the only one who knew about the weapons depot.

If anything happened to the weapons depot, it would mean Kaleb had betrayed him.

However, no matter how much Virgil Davies threatened, Kaleb wouldn’t easily let go of such a good opportunity.

As soon as Virgil Davies left, Kaleb immediately went to the weapons depot.

Kaleb drove through winding mountain roads, entering a forest dense with poisonous insects and vipers.

He parked the car at the forest entrance, took a pill from his pocket, and swallowed it.

The pill was newly developed by his colleagues in the research team, tailored for the local conditions.

Though this was its first use, Kaleb had absolute confidence that he could safely navigate through the eerie and terrifying dense forest with this pill.

Kaleb walked confidently into the dense forest.

The surrounding poisonous snakes and insects indeed ignored him.

This was already Kaleb’s third time coming to the weapons depot.

He skillfully navigated through the dense forest, entering into the narrow, pitch-dark cave.

Though there were many forks along the path, Kaleb’s exceptional memory ensured he never took a wrong turn.

As for the thick miasma within the cave, and the deadly poison that occasionally spewed forth, thanks to the pill, they were no threat to Kaleb.

Kaleb safely reached the end of the cave.

Following Virgil Davies’s method, he approached the rocks, lightly pressing a seemingly inconspicuous spot.

However, strangely, the rock blocking his way did not move, still standing there unmoved.

After careful inspection, Kaleb found: In addition to the hardly noticeable mechanism, there was another hidden lock to open the stone door.

That was the need to scan a person’s retina!

Kaleb didn’t need to guess to know that the retina would surely belong to Virgil Davies.

Kaleb was infuriated!

He desperately wanted to report to his superiors, to act directly, and eliminate the weapons depot once and for all.

However, the base of the weapons depot was positioned in a strategically advantageous location, surrounded by mountains and difficult to conquer.

Without opening the mechanism to enter the depot’s interior, relying solely on external attacks, it would be very difficult to thoroughly destroy the weapons depot!

And Virgil Davies was incredibly cunning and treacherous; without complete assurance, they absolutely couldn’t alert him!

...

In recent days, Adrian Davies was quite cheerful and exuberant.

His grandmother’s health improved significantly under the doctor’s meticulous care, and Melody Parker and the children accepted him.

Every day, besides going to the company, he spent his time with Melody Parker and the children.

During the day he was the king of River City, calmly commanding the business world, decisively shaping his kingdom.

At night, he was the children’s loving father, Melody’s man, nestled in their small but cozy home, living a happy, fulfilling life that others envied.

Because Adrian Davies was in a good mood, even his eternally icy face showed signs of thawing.

Employees of the Davies Group all marveled at the miraculous change in the CEO.

Their typically aloof and unapproachable CEO, who seemed to dwell on the pinnacle of the heavens, surprisingly began to act more down-to-earth — zoning out during meetings, gently smiling at his phone, doing things suspiciously like sending a text — they speculated and discussed.

They speculated boldly, wondering who might have induced such a change in the CEO, imagining them as someone stunning and unmatched in beauty.

After all, many people were aware of Melody Parker, but only a few in the company knew Adrian Davies changed because of her.

However, they had their suspicions, knowing that only one person had been close enough to the CEO over these years!

One day, Adrian Davies was in the office as usual, dealing with company affairs.

As he was reviewing a document, his phone rang.

Thinking it was a call from Melody Parker, Adrian Davies smiled and answered directly.

But the next second, upon hearing the content, his face instantly darkened, "What did you say?"

The call was from the head of a private hospital in Europe.

Facing Adrian Davies’s icy question, they shivered.

But the matter was urgent; no matter how frightened, they had to muster the courage to speak!

"CEO, the old lady suddenly fell ill, and this time the illness struck rapidly. You should hurry back to check on her!" The hospital head spoke sincerely.

Adrian Davies coldly replied, "Use any means necessary to treat her. If my grandmother suffers any mishap, I will not let you off lightly!"
