Mr. Zachariah eyed Ethan suspiciously.

They had been rivals for years, and he knew Ethan wasn't the kind of guy to
make reckless moves. If he was mobilizing this many people, he had to be onto something.
"Ethan, did you guys find a lead?"
Ethan glanced at him coolly. "What's it to you?"
"Come on, why are you being so stingy? This isn't just your problem-it's a matter of life and death."
Simon gave a cold snort. "That's not what you were saying earlier. If you don't trust us, then why bother tagging along?"
"Ethan, this concerns the safety of a high-ranking councilman. Let's not waste time arguing. If you really do have something, let's go together," Mr. Zachariah said, swallowing his pride.
No matter what, the mission came first.
Ethan nodded.
"Fine. We'll bring you this time. Just don't look down on others so easily next time."
It really rubbed people the wrong way.
Mr. Zachariah glanced at the girl beside Ethan.
Now that he looked again, she was actually kind of likable.
"Kid, I'm a rough guy. If I said anything out of line earlier, I hope you don't take it personally. When this is all over, let me treat you to a meal," Mr. Zachariah said with a sheepish grin.
Ethan was exasperated.
Mr. Zachariah was always like this-arrogant on the surface, but serious when it came to work.
"No need to be polite."
Tessa didn't respond to him directly.
Simon personally escorted Tessa to the front gate, then apologized, a bit
embarrassed. "Tessa, sorry. I should've taken you all the way home, but we've
got
a mission coming up, so I can't."
Tessa knew they were rushing to save someone-how could she expect him to take her home?
"No need to apologize. Go on."
By the time Tessa took a cab back to Wisteria Apartment, it was already 10 p.m.
As soon as she punched in the code and opened the door, Ysabel came running from the couch.

"Tessa, where on earth were you? Do you know how worried I was?" Ysabel looked like she'd been about to
cry.
"I just had to take care of something. I told you before I left."
Seeing that Tessa wasn't hurt, Ysabel finally relaxed. "But we couldn't reach you
at all! You weren't answering your phone and you weren't coming home-of course we were going to worry!"
They had been worried sick!
"Alright, I'm fine now, aren't I?"
Tessa glanced at Landon, who was off to the side radiating a cold, oppressive aura. She gently pushed Ysabel aside.
Not good-Landon looked seriously pissed...
Tessa stepped forward, hugged him, and tried to explain. "Landon, don't worry, I
just went out to take care of something. I had to turn off my phone for it, so I couldn't answer your calls."
Landon was speechless.

They'd been worried for hours, and she was just "taking care of something"? "You didn't even call?!

Tessa rubbed her cheek against
Landon's neck apologetically. "It slipped my mind in the moment. I'm
sorry! promise I won't make you
guys worry like that again." She hadn't meant for it to happen this
way. The content is on

But the place Ethan had taken her really wasn't something she could explain to
others.

In the sea of consciousness, Emma
flicked her fluffy white wolf tail and nudged Flex's obsidian-colored wolf head with her nose. Ripples of silver-blue light shimmered through
the mental domain. "Don't worry. We ancient wolves aren't so easy to put in danger. Next time I'll remind Tessa to keep you all updated and safe." The content is on Novelxo.org! Read the latest chapter there!
She had used quite a bit of psychic energy helping Tessa track down the high- ranking councilman. She'd forgotten to remind Tessa-and Landon-to call...
