Chapter 616
After thinking about it for a long time, Carter finally realized the root of the issue.
‘She’s been ignoring me all this while, so why would she suddenly care about what to eat? ...And why
would she suddenly want to eat chestnuts now?’
"I want Nathaniel to deshell them personally."
Carter’s eyes widened in an instant. The corners of Hesper’s lips twitched as she gave off a half-smile.
"I want to see ten pounds tomorrow. Otherwise, I’ll suspect Nathaniel Tucker’s sincerity."
If not for the fact that it was Big T who was going to be tormented, Carter would have given Hesper a
thumbs up.
"But what if Big T were to ask someone else to deshell them for you? You wouldn’t know that, would
you?" Carter scratched his head, looking a little puzzled, but there was not even a hint of hrity in
Hesper’s eyes.
"Do you think he''ll have someone else help him?"
Carter hesitated for a bit. "I don’t think so."
‘Big T has doted on Hesper to a degree so outrageous that he’s pissing everyone else off... In order to
make Hesper happy, Big T would definitely agree to this unreasonable request.’
"Then please convey this request to Mr. Tucker."
Through the wrought iron gate, Hesper turned her head. "And do bring another message to him for me.
Tell him that since he, Nathaniel Tucker, has the ability to lock me up here, why doesn’t he have the
courage toe see me? I’ll wait here and see how much longer he can keep me at this ce."
"...Okay."
Carter could not help but be speechless as he thought about how he was going to convey Hesper’s
words urately after returning to the headquarters.
Back at the base, Nathaniel listened quietly to what Carter had to say. He did not get angry. Instead,
the corners of his lips curled up at the end of the conversation. "Did she really say that?"
‘Dude, how would I dare to make things up between you two f*ckers...?’ Carter thought to himself and
curled his lips. "Ms. Rivera requested it. I’m only conveying the message here. I haven’t left out
anything, not even a word."
"Okay then, you should go and buy some chestnuts."
"Got it."
Carter had guessed that Nathaniel would agree to the request, so he had asked someone to buy some
chestnuts in advance. When he heard Nathaniel’s words, he immediately asked his men to bring the
chestnuts in as if he was ready for a show.
"...Don’t be so ridiculous."
Seeing that Nathaniel’s behavior was bing more and more absurd, 013 stepped forward and
kicked over the basket containing all the chestnuts. "Nathaniel Tucker, I can seal the deal on your
behalf if you can’t do it yourself. Do you know that Rickard Duval and Matthew Lane have already

tracked us to Fredonia? Matthew Lane knows Hesper’s true identity, so he definitely won''t let it go."
"So what?" Nathaniel set the basket back up. "When Matthew arrives in Fredonia, I’ll catch them all.
None of them will escape me."
013 frowned. What Nathaniel said did not seem like a lie, but his hands were still deshelling the thorny
chestnuts non-stop.
"How can you be so sure? Even if Fredonia is Daybreak’s territory, the power of the Lanes and the
Duvals should not be underestimated." 013 grabbed Nathaniel’s arm, forcing him to lift his head and
stop looking at the darn basket of chestnuts.
Nathaniel casually withdrew his arm.
"We’re currently holding onto their biggest weakness, so how difficult will it be for us to get Matthew
and Rickard under control?"
Both Carter and 013 became silent.
013 hesitated for a moment. "Are you really willing to put Hesper out there as bait?"
Nathaniel lowered his head and carefully deshelled the chestnuts. Because he did not know what to do,
he almost pricked his hand. He raised his head after a long while, and his gaze looked a little more
dazed than usual.
"If I let her go, how would I be able to face my parents?"
