    As the evening approached, Karl arrived. Joyce and Luther were waiting for him in the reception


    room of the manor. Stepping into the room, Joyce was taken aback by Karl''s dusty appearance, still


    in his inspector uniform as if he hadn''t had time to change.


    "Karl, what''s this? Just finished an assignment and swung by on your way here? You''re not nning


    to attend the wedding dressed like this, are you? I don''t think many people would dare to speak in


    front of you," Joyce teased. "Wearing the highest inspector uniform to a wedding. Those who don''t


    know might think you''ve been sent down to carry out an inspection task."


    Karl chuckled. "How could that be? I did juste straight from the assignment in the neighboring


    city. It was a tight schedule, couldn''t change clothes in time. Rest assured, Juanita had my clothes


    all ready for me. My luggage has been sent to my room. I definitely won''t be attending your wedding


    dressed like this."


    "Good to see you." Luther greeted.


    Karl nodded lightly. "Mr. Warner, you look radiant with the addition of a son. Congrattions."


    "Please, have a seat." Joyce pointed to the sofa next to them.


    Karl dusted off the dirt on his clothes and sat down on the sofa. "Beforeing, Juanita had been


    in a bad mood for several days because I didn''t allow her toe along."


    Joyce chuckled, covering her lips. "She''s close to delivery, indeed she shouldn''t take it lightly. Look,


    I also delivered early. One can''t predict when Juanita will deliver."


    "Yes. My mother has been keeping herpany these days." Karl looked around. "Why choose


    South Ind for the wedding? Especially the yacht ride there. The surveince equipment was all


    over, tight security. Quite unusual."


    "Nothing escapes your eyes," Luther crossed his legs in a rxed posture.


    "Can you tell me about it? I''m not an outsider." Karl furrowed his brows slightly, realizing that


    something had definitely gone wrong.


    "It''s nothing major, just him being cautious." Joyce pointed to Luther.


    "Not just caution. The unusual arrangements here, theyered defense. There''s definitely a purpose


    behind it." Karl didn''t believe Joyce''s exnation. "I know you''re afraid I''d worry, especially with


    Juanita about to give birth. You don''t want me to get involved. But don''t forget, I''m a professional."


    "Heh, well said, you''re a professional." Luther''s eyes gleamed. "It''s okay, I''ll tell you the whole story."


    Joyce poured Karl a cup of tea, and Luther began with the story of a stranger they had recovered


    from the yacht they were on, outlining the recent events, including the antidote being administered


    for the poison Luther had been exposed to, Joyce''s premature delivery, and how she almost got


    taken away by Grayson. Also, the possibility of Rohomes'' spies being inside the house, passing


    information to Rohomes'' side.


    Karl remained silent for a long time after hearing the story.


    Finally, he spoke. "I didn''t expect you to have gone through so much. And I wasn''t able to help. This


    time, I only brought two subordinates and didn''t bring any professional equipment. If I had known..."


    "Karl, you''ve already helped us a lot. You don''t have to worry about it anymore. Kane has arrived;


    he will monitor the surveince and the control room. Luther has prepared enough manpower. Add


    to that the natural geographical advantage of South Ind. Nothing will happen." Joyce reassured


    him. "Take care of Juanita, don''t let her be distracted. Don''t worry too much about me. Look, so


    many things happened before. Although there were surprises, there was no danger. Everything was


    eventually resolved satisfactorily."


    "Since you''re on official duty, the wedding will be over tomorrow. You definitely have to return to the


    Capital. Don''t dy your business." Luther looked at his watch. "Let''s chat a bit more. Felix and


    Vicki will be here soon. Felix already messaged me. Remember, don''t mention this matter in front of


    them."


    Karl nodded. "Got it."


    He thought for a moment. "For your wedding, Juanita and I have prepared some ordinary gifts. After


    all, we couldn''t figure out what you might becking."


    "Your presence alone is the greatest gift." Joyce smiled. "It''s too much to prepare gifts; you''re being


    overly formal."


    Karl took out a pen from his suit pocket. "But there''s something I specially prepared for you."


    He ced the pen on the coffee table. It was an all-ck pen, looking very ordinary with no


    apparent special features.


    Joyce was surprised. It was Luther who spoke first. "Is this a pen gun? St. Denis made, for internal


    use in intelligence departments."


    Karlughed. "Mr. Warner has quite the keen eye. Are you also knowledgeable about guns?"


    Luther picked up the pen and weighed it in his hand. "Of course, I''ve done a lot of research for


    Joyce."


    Joyce nced at Luther. "Explosives too, he''s practically an expert by now."


    After all, it was Luther who finally disarmed the tiny bomb on Iris. It was extremely difficult.


    "Haha." Karl rarely let out a heartyugh. "Even just by looking at the defenseyout on South


    Ind, I can tell Mr. Warner''s professionalism. You''d be more than capable as the Inspectorate


    Director here. You''re just underutilized."


    Luther twirled the pen in his hand. "It''s well hidden. Only someone with your special status could


    obtain something like this."


    To be honest, these were items exclusive to spy agencies. Warlords couldn''t get their hands on


    them.


    Joyce took the pen from Luther, removing the pen cap. Surprisingly, there was a pen tip inside. At


    first nce, it was indistinguishable. But she reached in and pulled out the pen tip, revealing a


    miniature handgun. It was incredibly clever, invisible to the untrained eye. With her knowledge of


    firearms, she could easily identify the safety, bullet chamber, and how to fire the gun. Truly a lethal


    weapon in disguise.


    "The bullets are small, only a hit to the aorta would be fatal. Only you could pull it off, Joyce," Karl


    pointed at the pen gun.


    "Thank you, I really like this gift." Joyce reassembled the pen, putting the cap back on. Kane had


    given her a pinmunicator in the shape of a gun, and now Karl had given her a pen gun.


    They both knew her preferences well.


    She felt like all her gear had been upgraded.


    Luther''s handsome face showed a hint of displeasure, because he hadn''t expected it. Whether it


    was Kane or Karl, they knew Joyce well, catering to her likes. It left him feeling a bit jealous.


    Karl noticed Luther''s minor jealousy but didn''t say anything. Instead, he got up. "I''ll go change my


    clothes in my room. When Felix and Vicki arrive, I''d like to meet them too."


    "Sure." Joyce nodded. Karl and Felix had met before, but their interaction wasn''t deep. This was a


    good opportunity for everyone to get to know each other and look out for each other in the future.
