Chapter 712 A Fifth of Xenos Solutions

"Mrs. Xenos, the situation is particularly complicated. It's not just Nicholas; it's also what occurred nine years ago. One of our men has found information on Owen Walton and Marcelo Harrell. They are currently in Motrana and have met Mr. Xenos before. They used to be Mr. Xenos' personal bodyguards nine years ago."

The assistant, Waylen, knew these two names but didn't know much about what had happened nine years earlier.

"This time, it's clear that the major families are targeting the top few. Rudy Adams has lost power, so he can safely stay in Bryxton."

"They want to change the world order."

Yes, Daniel was an ambitious man.

But, Nicholas… I guess he was seeking revenge for Zack.

However, he didn't expect that Zack was still alive.

So now Nicholas was the only one who knew the solution to this problem!

He could definitely tell me some information that I didn't know.

"The breakthrough now lies with Nicholas."

Gary hesitated and asked, "Are you thinking of getting in touch with him, Ms. Felix?"

It would be wiser to get in touch with him than Daniel.

"Yes, he's the only one we can count on."

I took out my phone and found Nicholas's number.

I closed my eyes, trying to calm down the anger, anxiety, and irritability in my heart before dialing the number. A few seconds later, Nicholas answered the call.

Without further ado, I questioned, "Where is Shawn?"

When I asked this question, Nicholas could tell that I knew he had done something.

He remained silent for a moment before answering, "I don't know. A while ago, an old man approached me. He needed the help of the Forgers' technology to seek revenge against Mr. Xenos and those people from nine years ago. Do you know anything about those from nine years ago, Ree?"

The fact that the old man was upfront about his motives suggested that he knew the dynamics of the friendship between Nicholas and Zack. He took advantage of Nicholas' desire for revenge.

"Yes, I know about it," I said.

Nicholas suddenly admitted, "Since you know, I won't go into too much detail. I gave him the Forgers' tools so he could deal with Shawn. Although I'm unaware of the specifics, I'm certain that he'll be in great danger. Due to our past, I debated whether or not to do this, but Shawn's hatred made me—I promised myself that I would only do this once to seek revenge for Zack. So, whether Shawn lives or dies, I will no longer seek vengeance on him. But I didn't think Zack would be still alive. I'm sorry. That's all I know."

I felt helpless as I heard him say these things.

When will this cycle of vengeance end?

But…

"Nicholas, even though you and I go way back, I'll never forgive you if Shawn is harmed in any way."

Nicholas didn't respond to my words. To my surprise, he admitted, "Ezekiel is the mastermind behind this."

"It's definitely not him," I insisted.

It was definitely not the Ezekiel I know.

Nicholas was shocked and questioned, "Why are you so sure that he won't do that, Ree?

I firmly asserted, "In this world, I have only two people who I completely trust: Shawn and Ezekiel. Even if they both give me different answers to the same question, I still have complete faith in them. It's not Ezekiel because he promised me he'd never do anything to Shawn and would never lie to me."

Nicholas surprisingly added, "I didn't know you regard Mike as highly as Shawn. Where do I rank then?"

I took a deep breath and stated, "You are the ex-husband."

He was nothing more than an ex-husband.

We used to be friends, but that was in the past.

When he chose to hurt Shawn, I knew I would never consider him a friend in this lifetime. He was just my ex-husband.

"Renee Felix, you sure know how to get under my skin!"

According to Nicholas, Ezekiel was the mastermind.

I didn't believe him, but he should have known where Ezekiel was.

I changed the subject and asked, "Where is Ezekiel?"

"Daniel would know," Nicholas said before hanging up.

Why would he be upset with me when he was obviously at fault?

After I hung up the phone, Waylen asked, "Mrs. Xenos, what's your plan? We need to find out Mr. Hastings' whereabouts now."

Feeling hopeful, I replied, "Will everything become clear once we find out everything about him? Do you think he's the key to solving this problem, Waylen?"

"I believe you should speak with Mr. Hastings about this, Mrs. Xenos."

So I had no choice but to call Daniel, and I dialed his number in front of them.

Daniel answered the call and teased, "I thought Ms. Felix would be as steady as a rock, but it seems like you're anxious."

"Do you know where Shawn is?"

He quickly responded, "I have no idea." Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

I couldn't judge whether he was telling the truth or not because I'm not as skilled as Ezekiel.

Seemingly understanding what I was thinking, he explained, "I have no reason to hide anything from you, Ms. Felix. I really don't know anything about this matter."

I indifferently continued, "So what can you offer me in exchange or as blackmail? The Xenos Family can provide you with the wealth and power you seek, Daniel."

"Are you negotiating with me, Ms. Felix?"

I frowned and said, "Let's hear your conditions."

"I want a fifth of Xenos Solutions."
