Chapter 428


    The corner of Kingsley''s mouth twitched. "That''s because I''ve been calling you by that name since


    childhood. Besides, Miss Albright is a few months older than me. So, it doesn''t feel appropriate to


    call her by a pet name…"


    ine understood Courtney well, so she knew that Courtney was just teasing Kingsley. Thus, she


    covered her mouth andughed coquettishly before finally saying to him, "Okay, that''s enough. I''ll


    just take the loss. You can call me ''ine'', Kingsley."


    "What! ine, are you thinking about bing my sister-inw?"


    "That''s so annoying! Court, what nonsense are you spewing? I won''t be your friend anymore!"


    "Hahaha…"


    The three of them joked around for a while. Afterward, Courtney invited Kingsley to dinner so that


    they could spend more time together. "Kingsley, do you want to join us for dinner tonight?"


    "No." Kingsley shook his head. "I want to go back and start reading Professor Albright''s book."


    She raised an eyebrow at him. "Why are you suddenly showing interest in Professor Albright''s


    research on information and intelligence?"


    "I… I''m just curious." He grinned and lied, "It''s just curiosity!"


    "Is that so?" She stared at him intently with her almond-shaped eyes. "Don''t tell me… Do you have


    a different purpose foring to Sris University and looking for Professor Albright?"


    He couldn''t help shivering in fear when he caught sight of her eyes that seemed to pierce deep into


    his very soul, exposing his secrets to the light!All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "Uh… You should go ahead with your ns. I''m heading back to the hotel to read!" He held up the


    book and bid them goodbye. Then, he turned and fled as though he were escaping a dangerous


    situation.


    He knew that he could not continue talking with Courtney any longer! Otherwise, his identity and


    purpose would all be exposed! If she learned the truth, then so would Reene and Victoria! Following


    that, except for Jessica, whose whereabouts were unknown, even Alice, Serena, and Yulia would


    know all about his secrets!


    If that were to happen… When he led his soldiers to the Empire of the Setting Sun to capture the


    spies and track down the true culprit behind his parents'' deaths… He would have six beautiful


    sisters beside him! They would nag him about his safety and urge him toe home… He did not


    dare to even imagine such a scenario!


    Besides, it would be too dangerous for his sisters to be involved in these matters! If he were to


    encounter any danger, they would fearlessly throw themselves in front of trouble just to protect him!


    Even if they lost their lives in the process!


    The previous incident where Reene took a bullet for him had been a rude wake-up call! He could


    never allow simr things to happen again! Therefore, no matter what, he could never expose his


    identity to his sisters!


    While he mulled over these thoughts, he unknowingly arrived at the gates of Sris University. His


    stamina was excellent, so hisplexion remained almost unchanged even though he had been


    running for so long. In fact, he was only slightly out of breath.


    He did not waste any time as he immediately returned to the hotel on themercial street and


    began reading the book that Vincent had written. In the beginning, the contents of the book were


    very mundane. It was simr to the dissertations written by other professors. However, his


    eyebrows furrowed deeper and deeper as he continued reading!


    Vincent had mentioned something in his book. It was an incident that urred seventeen years ago


    when the inte was just bing popr in the Empire of Qustia. He once used his hacking


    skills to obtain information on an intelligence organization known as ''The Nightingale Intelligence


    Agency''. The NIA Agency was centered around an intelligence broker, and their influence radiated


    across the entire Great Xia Empire!


    Vincent was only in his early thirties at the time, so he was young but short of money. Hence, he


    sold the information on the intelligence broker to the ck market. However, he never imagined the


    consequences of his actions! It didn''t take long before the entire family of the intelligence broker


    was brutally murdered! The husband and wife, as well as their son, who had only just turned five


    years old, were tragically killed in a sea of fire!


    Thanks to this incident, Vincent suffered heavy emotional damage. He had been on the verge of a


    mental and emotional breakdown! He believed that he caused the tragic deaths of that family of


    three! If he had not sold the information for money, then the originally happy family would never


    have been reduced to ashes!
