Chapter 145


    Chapter 145 Radley’s Wish


    Freya thought Radley would rest at home for at least a while after he was discharged from the hospital.


    But, she received a phone call from him just a few dayster.


    “Let’s have a meeting at the Joint Department in West Geft tomorrow since it’s a weekend


    Freya answered with hesitation. “But, your injury hasn’t healedpletely just yet


    Tll be fine. It’s just a short meeting anyway, Radley reassured.


    Freya was worried, but she didn’t say anything further.


    On the weekend….


    Freya arrived early at the Joint Department in West Geft.


    However, it was still early, and Radley hadn’t arrived yet. So, she went to Brandon Lane’s office to look


    around.


    The pavilion built from the tenon-mortise technique had beenpleted recently, and it was waterproof


    and insect-proof.


    Freya asked Brandon to stay after putting it into consideration as he had the building technique that


    they might need in the future.


    Besides, he didn’t have much work to do outside of that. All he had to do was to check in at the Joint


    Department in West Geft every day.


    Brandon was fond of Freya’s request now that Mrs. Lane’s health had improved, and he dly


    epted the job.


    He was seen ying around with little toys in the office at first. But, what he was actually doing was


    experimenting with toys that resembled the tenon-mortise technique in order to get inspiration.


    He immediately smiled upon seeing Freya. “I haven’t seen you for a long time, Frey,”


    Freya also replied with a smile. “I’ve been busytely.”


    Brandon shook his head. “Radley hasn’t shown up these days either. This is strange because he used


    toe here every evening.”


    “Is that so?” Freya was surprised to hear that from him.


    “Yeah, Brandon answered casually. Then, he looked at Freya with a mysterious smile. “I wonder who


    he’s waiting for every evening because there’s not much work that requires his attention here.”


    However, Freya intentionally changed the subject. “How’s Mrs. Lane’stely? I’ve been busy and


    haven’t got the chance to visit her.”


    “She’s recovering well, and she’s much better than before. Other than that, she talks about you a lot.”


    Radley arrived after their conversation went on for a while


    Then, Freya said goodbye to Brandon, and she went to attend the meeting with Radley


    Freya and Radley hadn’t been to the Joint Department in West Geft in the past two weeks


    As a result, they had to listen to quite a few progress reports, and they had questions to ask as well.


    The meetingsted for two hours before it ended.


    Freya looked at Radley following that, and she found out that he still appeared pale and looked sick


    You should be resting at home. Why did you insist on a meeting! Freya scolded inside


    Radley looked at Freya and said after he got up, I thought you promised to see me in the hospital after


    1 woke up?”


    Freya replied with hesitation, I promised to check on your examination results, not you.”


    Radley frowned slightly, but Freya’s phone at the side rang just as he was about to speak.


    She picked it up and saw that it was from Chris.


    Freya asked Chris to help out Isabe in Vroriast time out, but she had been brought back by


    Braxton now, and Chris had been out of touch since then.


    So, Freya answered the phone with a sense of guilt, “How are you doingtely, Chris?”


    Chris’s sounded furious on the other end of the phone call. “What do you think? I’ve been stuck in my


    house in Vroria all this time because of you. Plus, Old Mr. Hond even made me kneel in the living


    room a few times!”


    The Honds emphasized quite heavily on tradition, and there were still punishments and family rules


    here and there.


    Freya knew Chris had been through a lot from how angry he sounded. Then, she smirked and replied.


    “You’ve been through a lot, Chris. Let me treat you to something nice when youe back to Caltun!”


    “No… There’s no need. I’m already back in Caltun.” Then, Chris continued, “Don’t you forget that you


    still owe me a favor.”


    Freya onlyughed. “Fine, I know.”


    Chris ended the phone call after he made his points. At that moment, Radley asked, “Do you owe Chris


    a favor?”


    Freya nodded. “Yes. I asked for his help before.”


    Then, she paused and hesitated for a while before saying, “You’ve helped me a lot as well, Radley. Let


    me know if you need anything in the future.”


    “Anything? Radley’s eyes instantly flickered.


    “I will do my best to help you with anything as long as it’s not illegal or against moral ethics.” Freya


    made it


    clear.


    “Are you sure? Because I have a wish right now? He smiled as he asked.


    “What is it?” she asked.


    “I want to take you to a few ces,” he answered as he stood up.


    Freya couldn’t refuse as she had just promised him a moment ago.


    But, where did Radley want to take her?


    It was still afternoon after the meeting had ended. “Are you sure you won’t regret this?” Radley asked


    with a grin as he got up.


    “Of course not!” Freya continued, “But, don’t you think you’re taking this too lightly since what you did


    was literally saving my life? Are you going to use up my favor just like this?”


    “I didn’t do it for a reward anyway,” he replied indifferently.


    He saved Freya because he wanted to.


    “Alright, let’s be on our way.” She was prepared for anything when she spoke.


    Radley took Freya to the entrance of the Joint Department after they left the meeting room.


    He drove a ck G-ss Mercedes-Benz today. It appeared ordinary from the outside, but Freya felt


    the weight of the door was much heavier than that of a regr car door when she opened the door.


    Then, she lightly tapped the car’s body and said, “It seems like we have a modified car here, eh?”


    Radley nodded. He had been worried about Freya’s safety since the recent attack, and he had


    modified all the cars in his house to be explosion-proof.


    “It’s time for lunch. Let’s get your stomach filled first,” he said.


    She agreed, and they went to Chris’s newly opened restaurant.


    Radley and Freya talked about the attack during the meal. “I told you that you were wanted on The


    Green mation forum on the dark web with a reward of 30 million. The recent attack is probably due


    to that reward, and someone has already taken it. I have Connor to investigate it, but it may not be


    easy to find the person behind it,” Radley said.


    Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.


    Freya’s eyes flickered as she replied. “The IP addresses on the dark web change very often. Connor


    will be finding a needle in a haystack if you want him to continue at this rate.”


    Radley paused while cutting his steak. “I didn’t know you have knowledge about IP addresses and


    things like that.”


    Freya smiled lightly. “My brother has told me a few things. I need to have some knowledge as someone


    who works in apany. Otherwise, how can I manage thepany’s Network Security Department?”


    Radley believed in what she said. “You can leave this matter to me.”


    However, Freya shook her head. “This is my own business, and I don’t want to get you involved


    Radley drove off with Freya after finishing lunch, and they were not in a hurry to be anywhere in Caloun


    Freya furrowed her brows slightly. Where is he taking me? They first stopped at spice shops on South


    Forest Road. Then, they went to a garden before finally arriving at a residential area


    She couldn’t help but ask. “Where are you taking me, Radley? Are you lost!”
