Chapter 1139: Chapter 1144

Chapter 1144 Zack applied to be Jonny’s sister’s bodyguard “James, someone named Z is calling you. Who is this? Why do they have a code name?”

James expressionlessly reached out to take the call, then let go of Amelia’s hand and walked out of the study.

Seeing him take the call and avoid them, Paul felt suspicious and quickly poked Amelia’s clothes with a pen.

“Aren’t you curious about who this Z is?”

Amelia, who knew it was Zack calling, shook her head.

“You’re too trusting…”

Paul, who didn’t know James’s other identity, pointed to the man standing outside the study, frowning as he answered the phone.

“Look at him, he’s good-looking and has a great figure. He’s bound to attract attention when he goes out.”

“That Z looks like a seductive and charming young girl. You need to be careful!”

The seductive and charming young girl, with his head tied up in a bandage, was having a video call with James.

“Sir…”

When James saw Zack in the video, his dark and deep pupils slightly dilated…

“What’s wrong with you?”

“Don’t even mention it.”

Zack touched his swollen face and cried out:

“I didn’t change my identity just to get close to Jonny’s sister. I only applied to be her bodyguard.”

“Who knew she was stronger than the bodyguards and insisted on exercising with me every morning.”

“She hit my face and head…”

“I suspect she knows that I approached her for a purpose…”

“Waaah… and also…”

“Get to the point.”

James interrupted Zack’s long complaint with three cold words.

Chapter 1144 Zack applied to be Jonny’s sist… 3/5 Seeing that James wasn’t in the mood to listen to his troubles, Zack had to stop.

“Sir, do you remember Mr. Ben?”

“Hmm.”

Mr. Ben was one of his subordinates, so he of course remembered him.

“I recently tried to contact him to investigate Jonny, but couldn’t reach him.”

“Other members said that he disappeared after dealing with Emily.”

“Everyone thought he received a mission from headquarters and went on a solo mission, so he didn’t report to me.”

Their tasks in S were sometimes done in teams, and sometimes individually. This was a common occurrence, but the key was…

“I couldn’t get in touch with him, so I sent someone to inquire. The news I received was that Mr. Ben had betrayed S and joined Erebus.”

James’s expression darkened. Members of S have always been loyal and wouldn’t join Erebus for no reason.

“Did you say that Mr. Ben disappeared after dealing with Emily?”

ack applied to be Jonny’s sist…

“Yes.”

“Didn’t I ask you to handle Emily personally? Why did you give it to Mr. Ben?”

Zack felt guilty when he heard this.

“I’m sorry, sir. You asked me to investigate the truth about the your big brother’s death, and I was in a hurry to investigate, so I gave it to Mr. Ben.”

“Did Mr. Ben really handle Emily at that time?”

“He sent me a message saying he did, but I didn’t see it with my own eyes…”

In other words, it’s unknown whether Emily was dealt with properly.

And Mr. Ben joined Erebus “after dealing with Emily”…

Recently, Zack said that Brandon Moore was also rescued by Erebus.

Could it be that Emily didn’t die and was taken to a secret place by Mr. Ben, so that Erebus’ people came to rescue Brandon?

But…

Emily knew his true identity, so she would definitely bring Erebus’ people to retaliate against him, but she didn’t.

Moreover, Erebus’ people have not yet announced that James is the leader behind S.

Also… why didn’t Mr. Ben handle Emily? Did they make some kind of deal?
