Chapter 235 - The culprit (1/2)

Then she heard Jacob speak on the mic. ”You may start now.” Arthur heard him over an ear piece.

J heard Arthur speak. ”Tell me your name, age and where you from.”

The man was calm when he replied. As expected from a group leader of Novus Rex. ”Oliver Garcia, 38, from Crocus.”

Arthur's face was stern. ”Where do you work.”

”At Crocus.” Oliver's answer was short and straight to the point.

”This guy is cautious.” Stefan commented on the back. To avoid making mistakes, Oliver Garcia only answer what is asked of him and never said any unnecessary extra words.

But Arthur didn't show any sulkiness. ”What company and what kind of job.”

”South Crocus Steel Company. Warehouse man.”

Lance moved closer to J and asked, ”Miss J, have you ever seen this man before?”

”No.” J replied nonchalantly. She paused then she turns to look at Lance suspiciously. ”Did you... somehow offended them before?”

Lance was taken aback. ”What? I was very vigilant. There is no way I could've offended them.” J continued looking at him with narrowed eyes which made Lance doubt his words. Did I become inattentive lately that I might have somehow offended them? Lance thought to himself but shake his head to dismiss the idea. There is no way I could've done that.

”Why are you looking at me like that? I am definitely certain that I didn't offended them. I never crossed path with them.” Lance was indignant.

Later on, they've heard every basic information about Oliver Garcia, now Arthur became more daring when questioning him. He put out two pieces of paper in front of Oliver. ”Recognize this?”

Oliver stared blankly at Arthur before he lowered his head and looked at the pieces of papers that lay in front of him. The first one is a crumpled small piece of paper. The other one looked like a business card. He read the notes on the papers then a smirk appears on the corner of his lips which didn't go unnoticed to Arthur.

Oliver leaned his back then crossed his arms on his chest before saying, ”So, you detained me here because of that?” He said curling his lips.
