This was a domain Jared, even in his role within the X Bureau, could not access.
Jared didn't press further on who Romer really was. He'd find out eventually.
He smiled, his expression shifting in a blink, "When are you returning to your post? I've left a gift for you in your
office."
Christopher chuckled, "What could you, a cheeky kid, possibly leave for me?"
"At least I'm the chairman of Farrell Group," Jared laughed, continuing their casual conversation.
The last tthey had chatted so unguardedly and naturally was when Jared had just enlisted.
After a long conversation, the two finally wrapped up. Christopher, leaning on his cane, stood up, "Alright, I'm
heading back to work today. Retirement will have to wait a few more years." "Congratulations," Jared escorted
Christopher to the door.
Resignedly, Christopher shook his head, halting Jared at the door with his cane, and looked deep into his eyes,

Jared nodded solemnly, recalling Christopher's words when he had joined the team-'From now on, we fight
together, no matter the hardship, | am here."
The days of fighting side by side were no more.
Christopher patted Jared's shoulder, "When you have time, go see Mr. Pace. He was the one who promoted you
back in the day. Now that you're parting ways, it's tto visit him." "Understood."
Jared respected Christopher's decision and did not leave. Instead, he stood in the office, watching Christopher
descend in the elevator until the doors closed. He then shut the office door, sat down in his chair, and after a few
seconds, he pulled out his phone to call Tina.
"Hello, Uncle..." Tina's sleepy voice cthrough the phone.
"Still asleep?"
"Mm, still a bit sleepy, but if you're treatingto a beef hotpot, I'll wake up right away."
Jared laughed heartily. "A meal of beef, a meal of lamb, but before that, | think you'll be more interested in what |
have to say."
Tina paused, then a rustling sound cfrom the phone. "What is it?"
Jared's eyes sparkled. "The Pace family!"
Tina sat up abruptly. The Pace family! Warren Pace! She knew that the nWarren Pace was just a fabrication
by her mother on a whim. Her previous names were chosen randomly to facilitate her travels in the underworld.
However, her mother Natalie never chose surnames from prominent families in Ashbury to avoid complications
that could arise from bearing the ssurnas influential figures.

But this time, she had casually mentioned Warren Pace. Everyone knew about the uniqueness of the Pace
surnin Ashbury. The Pace family was not like the Farrell family involved in commerce, nor like the Brookes
family, which was either publicly known or secretly influential. The Pace family was an ancient military lineage,
becoming more discreet over generations to the point that they were not even recalled when the four major
families of Ashbury were listed. Yet, the presence of a Pace family member always attracted attention. Nobody
knew what the Pace family was really up to, but the respect they commanded was unmatched. Natalie, being

them casually meant the Pace family was no ordinary matter to her!
"Do you know someone from the Pace family?" Tina asked as she changed her clothes.
Jared responded, "Mr. Pace is a person | deeply respect, the former director of the X Bureau."
Tina paused, recalling Natalie had mentioned a beloved elder by that nwhen she was younger, now retired
and not easily accessible. Could Natalie have mentioned this nbecause of that elder? But with the Pace
family's vast influence, wouldn't Natalie find it troublesome?
"I'm on my way!" Tina zipped up her jacket. For sreason, she felt an immense curiosity about the Pace
family.
Jared nodded. "Good, I'll cto pick you up."
Soon, Tina was in Jared's car, looking at the driver and couldn't help but smile. "Uncle, have you descended from
heaven? You've been driving more often."
Jared glanced at Tina, who was teasing him. "Nathan is busy."
Nathan was now the chief of the squad. Aside from acting as an assistant to the chairman of the Farrell Group as
a cover, he had many other responsibilities. With the situation within the X Bureau growing more urgent, he no
longer had tto drive.
Before long, Jared turned into a secluded estate, guarded by two uniformed men at the gate.
"Hello, please show your identification," one of them said coldly to Jared.
