Harlan could tell that I didnât believe him, so he helplessly reminded me about the task at hand.
âDebra, Gale entrusted us with this mission.
Whatever happens, the mission comes first.
â
However, his words sounded more like a reminder to himself than to me.
âI know, I know.
â
I held my hands up and stopped teasing him.
We were here to work, and we couldnât afford to gossip.
âIâm free to talk now, and thereâs something I need to tell you.
â
Harlanâs expression immediately became serious.
âHave you found anything?â
âYes.
Thereâs a secret chamber in Adamâs study.
And I found a way to enter it.
If my guess is right, thereâs bound to be evidence of him wanting to sell the town in that room.
â
âThen we have to find a way in.
â
âAdam is extremely cautious.
He doesnât Let anyone enter his study, not even his wife.
I was able to enter the secret room today, but just for a brief moment.
He nearly caught me.
â
Speaking of this, my tone grew very serious.
âMoreover, heâs become suspicious that heâs being investigated.
He might be able to pin us down if weâre not careful enough.
Once weâre discovered, everything weâve done up until this point will be in vain.
How will we be able to save the town then?â
Harlan fell into deep thought.
After a while, he exhaled loudly through his nose and asked, âThen what should we do? We canât just wait, can we?â
âWe have to wait for the right time.
â
I looked at him gravely.
âWe have to stay calm.
We canât afford to act rashly.
Weâll make a move when the time is right.
âBut who knows how long itâll take?â Harlan was a Little frustrated.
âIf we wait around for too long, it might be too late.
â
âNo, it wonât.
â I comforted him.
âIâve been spending time with Adamâs wife these days, and I know that sheâs a genuinely nice person.
Maybe sheâll be help us change the fate of the town.

his, but to my surprise, I found him nodding in agreement.
âYeah, I hope thatâll be the case.
â
âYouâre actually agreeing with me?â My eyebrows shot up in surprise
âI want to avoid violence as much as possible,â Harlan explained.
But his explanation only confused me even more
He had only been in Roz Town for a few days.
How could he have changed so much? Previously, he had insisted on taking Adam back to Gale for a ruthless interrogation
Recalling how he and Zoe looked at each other just now, I guessed that the change in Harlan had something to do with her.
