    Hugo nced at Scarlett. “Scarlett, did anything happen just now?”

    Scarlett noticed Hugo’s reaction and sensed something was off. She shook her head first, then asked, “What’s wrong? Did

    something happen?”

    When Hugo looked up again, the figure had already vanished.

    He frowned deeply, a sense of unease spreading in his heart.

    “Hugo!” Scarlett called out to him again.

    Hugo snapped back to reality.

    “What exactly is going on?” Scarlett asked.

    Hugo thought for a moment. The person was either after him or Scarlett. There were no other possibilities.

    But until he figured things out, Hugo didn’t want Scarlett to worry.

    Heposed himself and said, “It’s nothing, just saw someone I know.”

    Scarlett squinted. “The person who just passed by?”

    Scarlett was sharper than he expected. He thought she hadn’t noticed, but she had caught on clearly.

    “Did you notice?”

    Scarlett nodded, “I just had a brief encounter, so it left a strong impression!”

    “A brief encounter?” Hugo picked up on the key part of her statement.

    Scarlett spoke casually, “I bumped into him at the bathroom entrance. My phone fell, and he insisted onpensating ollime. He even left his number!” Though her tone was light, her gaze at Hugo was filled with curiosity. /li/ol

    Upon hearing this, Hugo’s expression changed instantly.

    At that moment, he was almost certain that the man was targeting Scarlett.

    But how did he find Scarlett so quickly?

    Or had they already discovered her identity?

    And since they managed to follow her here, getting Scarlett’s number shouldn’t be difficult. iYet/i, ithey /istaged an encounter

    just to get her number…

    It seemed a bit off.

    So what exactly was that man up to?

    Thinking about this, Hugo looked at her, “Scarlett, your phone should have anti–tracking measures, right?” Hugo asked.

    Scarlett nodded, “Yeah!”

    “How likely is it for an average hacker to break into your phone?” Hugo asked.

    “The likelihood… depends on if I let them!”

    Hugo immediately understood–meaning, it wasn’t going to happen!

    With that thought, he felt a bit more at ease and advised her, “Scarlett, listen to me. If that guy shows up again, don’t

    engage with him at all. No contact, no conversation. Just walk away and call me.”

    “Why?” Scarlett asked.

    “That guy’s no good. He wants your number for a reason, and I don’t want him bothering you!” Hugo exined.

    What an excuse.

    Pretty flimsy…

    But Scarlett still asked, “Is it really that simple?”

    “Yeah!” Hugo nodded. “Don’t underestimate your charm. You’ve got what it takes!”

    Scarlett was speechless.

    Even though she knew Hugo’s reasoning was just an excuse, she didn’t call him out on it.

    Since he didn’t want to talk about it, Scarlett decided not to ask.

    He had taken her number, so he would definitely call.

    With that in mind, she figured she could just wait.

    Looking at Hugo, Scarlett gave a gentle smile, “Finished eating? If you are, let’s head out!”

    Meanwhile, on the other side.

    After leaving the restaurant, a man got into a ck business car.

    The car was parked in such a way that he could see Hugo and Scarlett inside the restaurant.

    His gaze was fixed on Scarlett, his yellow eyes filled with an unusual intensity.

    Just thenb, /bsomeone handed him an iPad from behind, “Boss, here is the information on that man!”

    The man known as Boss took it and nced at the screen.

    “Hugo Hodges??”

    “Please, look further down!”

    “J? He’s J?” Boss eximed in surprise.

    “Yes!” the person behind him replied, clearly showing some fear.

    Boss was momentarily istunned/i.

    The name J had been renowned internationally for a decade, back when he was still Red Mark.

    The organization had once heard of him–a man who single–handedly wiped out two groups and then founded the DX organization, making quite a name for himself. But mysteriously, at the height of his power, he vanished without a trace.

    No one expected him to show up today.

    “This world is really small, isn’t it?” the boss mused softly.

    “There were rumors that something happened to him, but it turns out he just left the business world. Even so, his influence is still formidable,” someone behind the boss remarked.

    The boss narrowed his eyes. “This situation is getting more and more interesting.”

    “Boss, it’s best not to provoke him while we’re here,” the person advised.

    The boss raised an eyebrow. “What, are you scared?”

    “It’s not fear. This is his territory. Opposing him would do us ino /igood,” the person exined. If he were just an ordinary

    businessman, they wouldn’t be concerned. But this man was J!

    The boss understood, but there was a burning fire inside him, eager to test the waters.

    It was one thing when he didn’t know the man’s identity, but now that he did, the desire ito /ichallenge him only grew

    stronger.

    “Do you think a wolf who has left the pack still has the same courage?” the boss wondered aloud.

    The person behind him could only specte. “Maybe. I’ve heard his business ventures are thriving, and he’s the btop /bdog

    here. No one dares to cross him!”

    “Maybe no one dares to touch him because DX is backing him!” the Boss said.

    The people behind him had nothing ito /irefute.

    At that moment, the Boss nced at Hugo Hodges in the restaurant, his eyes narrowing slightly. “I really want to meet

    him

    “Boss!

    “I know what you’re going to bsay/b!” the Boss breplied /bcoldly, squinting his eyes as he pondered for a moment. “Don’t worry, I

    won’t act impulsively!”

    “What about that woman?”

    Looking at Scarlett Adler, the Boss narrowed his eyes. “Terry Adler, Scarlett Adler… Didn’t expect Terry Adler’s genes to be

    quite good!

    The people behind him looked puzzled.

    “That she’s suspicious?”

    “Understood!”

    At that moment, as the Boss looked at Scarlett Adler, a thought began to form in his mind.

    If things were truly as he imagined, perhaps there might be another version of this story.
