Chapter 225

Blue veins popped up on Karlo’s forehead.

He then glanced back to acknowledge Jared.

“See you, Mr. Palmer.”

Karlo then looked at Nicole with a look of regret for missing such a talent.

“Please tell me if you change your mind,” he said.

Nicole looked at him but did not respond.

But the look in her eyes showed she had started to like this commander.

Karlo was a good fighter.

She could take on him so confidently because she had been trained to fight against the close – quarters
combat techniques of the military.

He might be holding the post of a commander, but he did not coerce her to do anything, nor did he get
angry after he lost.

In a sense, he was a real fighter.

Karlo was not angry when he did not get a response from Nicole.

Instead, he waved his hand at her before getting into the car.

The low-key Volkswagen Phaeton quickly drove out of the airport parking lot toward the city center of
San Joto.



In the car, Karlo looked at Zeke with a devilish smile.

“You talked tough just now, eh?” he said.

“What are you going to do? You promised Nicole.” Zeke looked at him warily.

“She isn’t here now.

Answer my questions, or I’ll let you know that running away from home isn’t as fun as you think,” Karlo
said with a sneer.

Zeke had no choice but to grin and bear it, nodding involuntarily when he saw his father’s grim face.

Karlo then eased up his clenched fist and looked at Zeke.

“That lady just now is Nicole?”

Zeke nodded.

He could not help but talk back again.

“Didn’t I just call her name several times? Are you so old that you’ve become deaf?”

Seeing the anger in Karlo’s eyes, Zeke subtly moved back a couple of inches and swallowed hard.

“You said you would only ask questions and not hit me.”

Karlo took a deep breath, still looking at Zeke as he continued asking.

“How did you know her?

Zeke thought for a second and said with a straight face, “We got to know each other online.”



Karlo looked at Zeke suspiciously.

And Zeke looked back at him fearlessly.

He was not lying, as he and Nicole indeed met online.

As Zeke seemed to be telling the truth, Karlo then moved his suspicious eyes away from him.

His son was pretty good at computers and had high regard for himself – so much so that he even looked
down upon the professors of the Academy of Sciences.

He was surprised that Zeke

met such a high-caliber person on the Internet.

Thinking of this, Karlo scratched his stubbled jaw and smiled at Zeke.

“Son, I won’t stop you from playing with computers,”

If Zeke could work harder and find a few more people of Nicole’s caliber for his use, the special forces
would become stronger,

Zeke looked at his father with disdain and said unceremoniously, “Save it! Do you know who Nicole is?
Even the prosecutor of Nottingbrook State has great respect for her.

She isn’t going to be interested in your offer.”

‘What?’ Karlo’s eyes darkened upon hearing what Zeke said, Karlo did not rise to his current position for
nothing.

It was only because he had an extraordinary ability and judgment.



So he quickly smelled something extraordinary.
