Chapter 1395

“Understood.”

Carl went back to the main control room after patrolling around for an hour. He then picked his phone up and gave Nicole a call.

“Carl, are you slacking off in the midst of a busy schedule?” Nicole asked jokingly How’d you know? Are you a mind reader of sorts?” Carl asked in astonishment.

“Considering that you’re able to give me a call, you must not be having anything urgent on your hands.

Anyway, how’s everything there? Are you okay?” Nicole asked with concern.

“I’m holding up just fine. I’ve just had another confrontation with The Raven about a week ago and fortunately, our men who’ve been injured were able to put the Beacons that you’ve given us to good use. Their recoveries were fast, and they were able to get back into action soon after,” Carl said, praising Nicole for her foresight.

‘Wow, I didn’t expect the Beacons to be of use that soon. The Raven seems to be quite conscientious…’

“Are you okay?” Nicole asked worriedly.

“You know how I am. How are those thugs supposed to hurt me anyway?” Carl said confidently.

“Don’t get too cocky now. The Raven is pretty ruthless. I wouldn’t advise being careless whenever you encounter them,” Nicole said with a hint of concern in her voice.

“Don’t worry. I know how to take care of myself.” Carl rolled his eyes. ‘She’s thousands of miles away and yet she’s keeping tabs on me.’

“I heard that you’ve just used the Beacon. Do you think there are any features that need to be improved upon?” Nicole asked.

“I haven’t discovered any problems with it yet,” Carl recalled.

“That’s good. If you happen to find any defects in the future, let me know as soon as possible. It’s best that others do not use them if they are,” Nicole told Carl.

“Yeah, I know. So, how’s life back there?” Carl asked as he became concerned about Nicole’s life.

“When have you started caring about my life?” Nicole asked, finding herself caught off guard by the question.

“I’ve been doing that for a while now. It’s just that you’ve been too busy to pay attention,” Carl explained proudly.

“Really? I don’t believe you.”

“Alright, don’t overthink it, and just answer me. How are you doing?” Carl asked her again.

“I’m doing pretty well. There’s nothing you need to worry about. It’s not as dangerous here as it is over at your place. The sun is shining, and life is beautiful.” Nicole said, describing her current condition.

“Wow, you know, I find that enviable! It would be great if I could live a life like yours.” Carl closed his eyes and imagined the beautiful life that Nicole had described.

But once she had heard Carl’s statement, she fell silent.

“Carl, after this mission is over, try and request for a transfer from Zane so that you can come over and protect me.”

“Protect you? Why would you require my protection? Aren’t you a tough woman?” Carl asked with a look of surprise on his face, puzzled as he could not figure out why.

Creases appeared on Nicole’s forehead. ‘It seems that he didn’t understand where I was coming from.

Carl is still a young man, and yet, he has never gotten to enjoy a life of peace and beauty. After all, he has constantly been training and doing missions all over the world. It would be nice for him to just stop and take a break to explore the world in a different sort of way.
