Chapter 652 A Traitor
“He was in Exelter when I last contacted him, so I think he must have disappeared there,” Janet
replied. Nicholas frowned at this. “What about his tracker? I recall how everyone in the team used to
have a GPS tracker on them,” he said.
“I can’t detect it. It seems like it had been deactivated,” Janet said while shaking her head. “I think we
should take action right now, Nicholas. I suspect that Exelter might be where our opponent’s hideout
is,” she said worriedly. He thought about this for a moment before nodding in agreement. Then, he
contacted some of Cole’s men and agreed to gather at the highway that led them out of the city. They
were planning to take a night drive to Exelter.
After all of this was arranged, Nicholas prepared to leave. “You should go home and get some rest. Let
me know if you get any new information,” he told Janet before leaving. She nodded before reminding
him to take care of himself again.

the night, a victorious and sly smile spread across Janet’s face. She returned to the villa and ordered
Kaiden to go to her room. Her eyes were twinkling as she gave him orders. “I want you to find men who
can cause some troubles along Nicholas’ journey to save Cole. I want to ensure that the whole process
isn’t smooth for him.”
“Isn’t that a little too risky? What if he realizes something?” Kaiden sounded somewhat worried.
Janet’s gaze turned icy as she replied in a hostile tone. “Well, make sure it’s secretive then! Don’t let
them realize anything!” she hissed. However, Kaiden knew that he wouldn’t be able to change her
mind, so he had no choice but to go along with her orders.
A few hours later, Nicholas’ car arrived at Exelter, where he bumped into Cole’s assistant, Tony Rush.
Tony was an extremely buff man and looked especially stern and firm in his black outfit. “Chief Sawyer.”
Tony referred to Nicholas by the name that he had called him during their earlier days.
Nicholas nodded, his lips curling up slightly as he spoke. “What information do you guys have now?”
“We’ve found the spot where Cole had disappeared, and we can confirm that this was a kidnapping.
Someone had lured Cole into the suburban area, where the routes and streets are intertwined. I got
someone to scout that area, and the geography of that place is really complicated—there are cliffs
around where people can sneak in from to attack Cole,” Tony said.
“Show me the map,” Nicholas ordered. Tony immediately handed the map over before pointing at an
opening. “This is where Cole disappeared,” Tony said. Nicholas narrowed his eyes when he saw the
spot that Tony was pointing at. It only took Nicholas a few moments to thoroughly memorize the whole
map. “There are four routes to get to the top of the mountain. Let’s split up into four teams to hunt for
clues in the different areas. We’ll have to remain in contact. The rest of the people will stay here to
prepare any emergency treatment or support needed,” he said.
That said, Tony hastily followed Nicholas’s orders and set their men up to the mountains. Meanwhile,
Nicholas returned to the hotel in the town, where he waited for Tony’s update. His expression was
blank and cold as he sat on the couch and contemplated Cole’s sudden disappearance. Typically
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmspeaking, only the team members would know his whereabouts. Could there be a traitor among us?
Nicholas’ expression turned pale when he realized how this could be true.
If that were the case, Cole would be severely punished, especially if he returned with a failed mission.
Nicholas’ lowered his gaze as he thought about this. Cole gave me a lot of help in the past. I wouldn’t
meddle with this if I didn’t know about it, but I can’t just sit around without doing anything since I know
what’s going on.
“Guys!” Nicholas called for his staff. “I want you guys to do some research. Check if anyone around
Cole has been acting oddly lately,” he ordered.
“This guy is an official, Boss. Would it be appropriate for us to research him?” Nicholas’ staff seemed
somewhat hesitant, and Nicholas began to question himself as well. It was true that he was no longer
part of the team and that it’d be inappropriate for him to search up on this. He was about to call Tony to
tell him about this when another one of his men knocked on the door and entered.
“Boss. Miss Brenner’s assistant, Kaiden, is asking to meet you.”
