Chapter 755: Chapter 477: So You’re the Mastermind Behind the Scenes (Part 1)

"Not at the moment. The only person in Lanel who knew the contact person in each city died before being captured. This guy named Paulo Vaughn is too mysterious, but the police will definitely continue to investigate."

"Hmm."

Nora Scott frowned, inquired about the specific details from Rosie, and then let Rosie go back to rest.

This is the last city. With this group of people caught, the CR2 incident comes to an end. As for those who escaped... Biel Hall can help if possible, but it mainly depends on the police.

On the other end, Rosie, about to hang up, suddenly remembered something and asked, "Hall Master, when are you going to the company tomorrow?"

"In the afternoon."

Rosie responded, "Alright. I should be there in the afternoon."

The plan for the afternoon was because Nora decided to sleep in. By the time she gets up, freshens up, eats, and gets ready, it would likely be noon. However, Nora didn’t expect that less than an hour after lying down, Julian Linfield’s video call would be like a haunting spirit, not letting her sleep in.

"If it weren’t for the fact that you’re getting on in years, I would—"

Nora, with her hair a mess and annoyance written all over her face, threatened as soon as she connected the video call.

Halfway through, she saw Julian sitting in the morning light, leisurely saying, "Can you even hit me?"

Taking a breath, Nora continued, "I’ll announce to my sixty million followers that I’m your apprentice, along with a live performance video of ’Destructive Demoness.’"

Julian: "..." Damn, do young people play this hard nowadays!

Nora raised her eyebrows smugly, "Scared your reputation will be ruined, huh?"

Julian shrugged, "Go ahead, we’ll lose face together. If you have the guts, do it! If you don’t, you’re not human!" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"..."

This time, Nora was at a loss for words.

Scratching her head, Nora sighed, "What’s the matter?"

It was always Nora who wanted to practice the bamboo flute and would proactively send Julian a video invitation. Julian generally didn’t use his phone, at most just sending her a picture or chatting, never initiating a video with her.

Julian said, "Isn’t it a holiday? Let me hear your noise."

"... Ha?"

What kind of quirk is this?

"I’ll give you ten minutes!"

Julian waved his hand and ended the video call.

???

Nora felt utterly baffled.

Having been ready to sleep in, Nora even declined Pedro Langley’s temptation to sleep next door. But now, being disturbed by Julian so early, she was wide awake, sat irritably for two minutes, and finally tossed off the covers, got up, quickly washed and dressed, and went to the small study.

Setting up the phone, grabbing the bamboo flute, she called Julian again via video.

Julian was under the eaves, brewing tea, living a carefree, idyllic life. As soon as he answered the video, he gestured to her "cut to the chase."

Nora ground her teeth.

Fine, let’s get started.

One song.

Julian leisurely sipped his tea. After listening, he mercilessly critiqued, "How did you manage not to practice for a month and let two months’ worth of progress revert to square one?"

Nora: "..." She really didn’t want to talk to him anymore.

But she still spoke, "My film wraps up next month."

Julian found it unbelievable, "Do you think filming has held back your progress?"

"Are you listening to my practice, or just bored and looking for someone to argue with?"

Julian stroked his beard, "Both, I guess."

Nora: "..."

Truly in the mood to film this no matter what.

We’re in this together.

After a few moments of banter, Julian suddenly leaned closer and asked, "Do you remember you owe me a favor?"

"Hmm. What about it?"

"Oh. In a month or two, someone might call you, asking you to join some project in Yangel. Just agree to it."

???

Nora tried to recall her skills related to the so-called "project involvement," but couldn’t figure out when she had ever developed such a skill.

But when she pursued the question, Julian wouldn’t elaborate, saying only that she’d know when the time came.

Keeping it all mysterious.

...

Thanks to Julian, Nora had breakfast on time, sent Marcus Shaw and Oliver Scott to school, and then went to Virtue Retreat to discuss last night’s events with Humphrey Jennings.

Paulo Vaughn.

Marcelo Vaughn.

The names always made Nora involuntarily associate them together.

And both had certain connections with the northwest and Fenton City, their ways of doing things were exceptionally meticulous.

One was linked to the person who orchestrated an attack on Henry Chapman five years ago and the one who targeted the golden cup five years later, while the other was connected to the group secretly searching for Master Sliver...

"Has he revealed why he’s forging your work?" Humphrey Jennings asked.
