Chapter 44 Tracking
It was already the end of the workday.
John told the other applicants to come back tomorrow.
Then he packed up his things and said to Chloe, who was beside him. "Chloe, why don't you come to my place? No one is home, and I can explain the follow-up details of the application to you."
Chloe was taken aback. "To your place?"
Seeing her astonished expression, John immediately changed his tone and said, "My place is closer and more convenient. If you don't want to, we can go to the office, to my office."
John was the manager of the HR department at the Ella Group, responsible for recruitment, and he had an office.
His office had a sofa, which could serve as a bed.
He had already made up his mind to use both threats and inducements to get Chloe, this beautiful woman.
She had been voted the most beautiful woman in Sunset City by the media.
Just thinking about her hot body and beautiful face made him excited.
Hearing that they were going to the office, Chloe sighed in relief and quickly said, "Mr. Wilson, thank you."
"No need to thank me, just call me John," he said, reaching out to take Chloe's hand.
Chloe skillfully dodged.
John generously said, "Sorry, I lost my composure. I see you as a sister. There are a lot of people outside, and I wanted to hold your hand to prevent anyone from harassing you."
Chloe gently brushed her hair and smiled. "It's okay."
John made a gesture. "Let's go."
Chloe walked out first but didn't see Larry. She couldn't help but wonder and took out her phone to call him.
The call went through, but no one answered.
She frowned and muttered, "Where did he go?"
John said, "Chloe, let's go."
Chloe nodded. "Okay."
Larry had left, and Chloe didn't think much of it, assuming he was too lazy to wait and had left first. So she sent him a voice message.
Chloe said,"Larry, I'm going to the Ella Group to discuss the follow-up on the application. You go home first."
After sending the message, she noticed John looking at her with a greedy expression.
Seeing John's gaze, she couldn't help but frown.
John quickly reacted, smiled, and said, "Chloe, I'm sorry, you're just too beautiful. When I see you, I can't help but think about what kind of clothes would look best on you."
He was indeed thinking, but he was fantasizing about what kind of lingerie would look sexy on Chloe.
His words completely piqued Chloe's interest.
It seemed that John also had a deep understanding of fashion design and could appreciate beauty.
She said, "It's okay. It looks like you have a deep knowledge of fashion design and clothing coordination. I should learn from you."
Hearing this, John felt very proud.
He was just an HR manager and didn't know much about these things.
However, he proudly said, "Of course, I know a lot about these things. Let's go to the office and have a deep discussion. This way, please. I'll drive us there. As a manager at the Ella Group, my salary isn't high, only about ten thousand dollars, but the year-end bonus is quite substantial, and I bought a luxury car worth a hundred thousand dollars."
He intentionally boasted.
Chloe smiled and said, "John, you're amazing. So young and already at the peak of your career. Please look after me in the future."
"We'll talk about that later." John laughed heartily, feeling very pleased with himself.
Chloe went to the Ella Group with him.
While waiting for Chloe outside, Larry sensed a murderous intent and then spotted a familiar figure in the crowd.
He quickly put his phone on silent and followed secretly.
He followed the person out of the job market and into a nearby mall.
Larry continued to follow the person through the mall and out the back door to the underground parking lot.
He was following a woman.
The woman looked to be about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, dressed in black leather armor and black leather pants, with long hair. She was extremely beautiful and had a great figure.
She arrived at the underground parking lot and stood in a corner, looking around as if searching for something.
She quietly reached behind her waist and pulled out a delicate handgun.
At that moment, she suddenly turned around, pointing the small, exquisite handgun at Larry.
When she saw him, her expression showed a hint of panic. She quickly put away the gun and said nervously, "Why is it you?"
Larry walked over, leaned against a pillar, and scrutinized the woman in tight leather armor, who looked both pure and beautiful.
He said calmly, "Why are you in Sunset City instead of at the Southwild Border?"
Larry had seen this woman before.
She was a key member of a theft team at the Southwild Border, who had once stolen antiques and been caught by him.
However, since they had stolen from an enemy country, he hadn't made things difficult for the team. After demanding a large ransom, he had let them go. But he thought, 'This team has always been at the border. Why is she now in Sunset City?'
Facing Larry, Black Rose was a bit nervous, with fine beads of sweat appearing on her delicate face.
She thought, 'This is Black Dragon, the commander of the Southwild's million-strong Black Dragon Army. Whyis he here instead of guarding the border?'
She said, "I followed someone to Sunset City."
Larry looked at Black Rose.
Followed someone?
Earlier, he had sensed a murderous intent. But that intent definitely hadn't come from Black Rose.
Although she had some skills, she couldn't possibly have such a terrifying killing intent. That required killing many people to acquire.
She didn't dare to hide anything. "Black Dragon, it's like this. Recently, we entered an ancient tomb and obtained a treasure, but we were ambushed. All my team members were killed, and I was the only one who escaped. I followed the mastermind to Sunset City but lost track of him." Larry didn't want to get involved in these matters.
He glanced at Black Rose and said calmly, "This is Sunset City, not the enemy border. Here, you have to follow the laws. Don't cause trouble."
Leaving those words, Larry turned and walked away.
"Black Dragon..." Black Rose panicked and quickly stepped forward, grabbing Larry's hand.
Larry's face darkened. He grabbed her by the neck and lifted her off the ground, coldly questioning, "What do you want?"
Black Rose's face turned red as she struggled to speak, "Black Dragon... I, I offended you. Please forgive me. I didn't mean anything else. Please listen to me!"
Larry casually threw her aside like tossing away trash.
Black Rose quickly knelt on the ground, her forehead touching the floor. "Please, Black Dragon, take me in."
Larry said calmly, "What do you mean?"
Black Rose said, "For this treasure, all my companions died. The key to the treasure is with me. The enemy could easily wipe out our team, so they must be very powerful. Please, Black Dragon, protect me. I'm willing to offer the key to the treasure."
In the past, Larry would have dismissed this. But now, he was interested.
He waved his hand slightly. "Get up and talk."
"Yes, sir." Black Rose stood up.
Larry asked, "Where did you steal from this time, and what treasure did you get?"
"Victor Veil's Tomb. We got an ancient box. It's said that the box contains a priceless treasure. With this treasure, we can unlock the secrets hidden in the centuries-old treasure map, Artwork of Moonlit."
Hearing this, Larry was surprised.
He thought, 'Artwork of Moonlit?
'Who is Victor Veil? How could the treasure from Victor Veil's Tomb be related to my family's heirloom map?'
