Chapter 1320

In North America, lan’s influence was constrained, and the flow of information had trickled to a slow drip. The

circumstances surrounding Fitch’s death still gnawed at him, feeling off–kilter in a way he couldn’t pin down

But calling Fitch was out of the question

Back home. Bernard was still unconscious, and if any connection between Fitch and lan now a fugitive, was

unearthed, even if Fitch was breathing he wouldn’t be able to escape the inevitable thal that would follow

Logic dictated that lan should stay put and wait for news, but if Fitch really was dead, implicated because of him,

how could lan possibly stay calm?

Splashing cold water on his face in the bathroom, lan tried to wash away his disquiet When he emerged, Nydia was

waiting with news

“Patric’s ready to sing she declared

Patric had an innate aversion to Eric, resenting the constant praise of Eric’s achievements that shone brightly in

their community The irritation was clear on his face twisted with a remnant of brutality as he was led out of the

room As he spotted lan, Patric lunged forward, an angry fist cocked, but the cuffs on his wrists and the shackles on

his ankles allowed him only a short advance before being restrained.

His eyes bore into tan’s, and after a moment’s pause, Patric scoffed. “You want intel on the research facility? I’ll

need a moment to ponder. After all, I’ve only received scraps of knowledge in that area

Then bring out Eric He knows that

“Your brother was head over heels for Maja, clinging to a promise they made in the confines of that facility lan, you

just lucked out, slipping into his life while he was away

“Luck is a part of strength, lan retorted, his tone colder than before

In the past, any mention of Eric and Maja would have triggered a much more visceral reaction from lan. But now

knowing who his enemies were, he refused to war of words with Patric

Patric either let Eric come forward or make an effort to assimilate those memories.”

lan, seeing his willingness to cooperate, nodded at Nydia to take charge.

“Nydia, have someone shadow him. He may have acquired some of Eric’s pharmaceutical abilities Don’t let him

Eric was a pharmaceutical prodigy, and in his hands, even the simplest of objects could become lethal

“Rest easy Nydia assured him

Grabbing his blazer from a nearby chair, lan made to leave the room, but Nydia stepped forward, stopping him

Her words struck a chord with lan

He had always relied on what he had at his disposal to solve problems, somehow forgetting that Maja, too was
