Chapter 1338


    Billy looked at Falcon, who was determined to defend Bonnie, and felt speechless. "Falcon, I know you trust Barrett deeply and even consider him like a brother. But this trust needs to be situational.


    "The chip is crucial for us; it determines our future. Aren''t you afraid that after all our efforts, Barrett might betray us?"


    "Mr. Billy, how can you say that!" Falcon''s emotions ran high, and his voice rose to the extreme. "I trust Barrett''s characterpletely!"


    Billy was momentarily at a loss for words. He stared at the agitated Falcon before speaking resignedly. "Forget it. I don''t want to argue with you. Barrett is already out. Talking more won''t change anything. Let''s just wait for him."


    "That''s true," Falcon agreed, but he emphasized again, "But I still trust Barrettpletely! He wouldn''t betray us."


    "It''s too early to say such things," Billy thought. Until Barrett returned, he wouldn''t make any rash judgments.


    "Mr. Billy—" Falcon frowned, wanting to defend Bonnie further, but Billy raised his hand to stop him.


    "Enough, no more talking. Just wait quietly."


    Although Falcon wanted to speak for Bonnie, Billy''s firm stance left him no choice but toply. "Understood, Mr. Billy."


    Meanwhile, Bonnie and Mark were wandering near Billy''s organization. Bonnie deliberately led Mark to a more distant and concealed area. At first, Mark didn''t notice anything amiss, but the further they went, the more uneasy he felt. \


    Finally, he called out to Bonnie. "Mr. Barrett, it''s too dangerous ahead. We can''t go further."


    Bonnie''s eyes flickered. She turned back, raised an eyebrow, and looked at Mark leisurely. "Oh? Dangerous? What''s dangerous ahead? Exin it to me."


    "That area is uncharted by our organization and may have wild animals. It''s better not to proceed, Mr. Barrett," Mark exined formally.

    She disregarded Mark''s warning and


    quickened her pace forward. "I think the scenery ahead looks great. There can''t be any danger, right? I''ll just walk a bit further, and then we can head back."


    Mark wanted to stop her, but hearing that she would return after enjoying the scenery, he swallowed his words and adopted a different approach. "Alright, but Mr. Barrett, please be cautious. This is the wilderness, and it can be quite dangerous."


    "Got it, got it. I wouldn''t joke about my safety," Bonnie said, continuing forward.


    Upon reaching a sloped area, she scanned the surroundings discreetly, smiled, and pretended to panic. She screamed, "Ahhhh!"


    Mark rushed forward and anxiously asked, "Mr. Barrett, what''s wrong?"


    "A snake, there''s a snake!" Bonnie pointed down the slope. Her face was pale, showing genuine fear.
