Chapter 1684 The Mystery Surrounding the Case
Olivian didn't dare utter unnecessary words any longer. However, as he tried to recall even the smallest detail about his mysterious friend, his mind was blank. He only remembered there was someone like that, but he found it impossible to recall this friend of his.
"He... I remember he had this really old, frail voice... And... And..." He found himself unable to remember any other details about him. Olivian was starting to get anxious. "Why can't I remember how he looks? We've met a few times!"
The people around him exchanged incredulous glances. Everyone was on edge, and they were all questioning how such a story could even be believable.
"Mr. Hollis, at this point, there's no need to hide anything. Please, just tell us the truth. We're begging you."
The directors were all pale. They thought that the worst possible outcome would affect only them. However, if they were to be treated as Cascadia's enemies and sentenced-it would be an irreversible ruin for their families as well. Treason wasn't just any crime!
Olivian's hands trembled as he removed his glasses. He clenched his fists and put them on his head as he exclaimed in distress, "I'm not hiding anything... I really don't remember! Do you think I don't want to get out of this situation? It's so strange..."ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
He suddenly stood up. "My secretary! My secretary has seen him, too! Mitchel! Mitchel, come in!"
"M-Mr. Hollis, I'm here." Mitchel Ruiz rushed in.
Olivian grabbed onto this small shred of hope, his voice urgent. "Mitchel, do you remember the man who invited us for dinner? The crab feast! What did he look like?"
"I remember. He's..." Mitchel suddenly froze, and his tone became unsure. "He's a guy... and he's quite old. I remember his voice, but..."
There was no follow-up to the testimony. Logically, such a scenario was impossible to believe. Whether it was Olivian or Mitchel, it was impossible for them to not remember the person's appearance at all.
The person could try to hide, like wearing glasses or a hat every time they met, which might influence their visual judgment. But if that were the case, they would have naturally mentioned how the person appeared each time they met, explaining why they couldn't fully see their face.
Since they didn't mention this situation, and given that they both came from the education system, they should know exactly how to describe someone they interacted with regularly. Their behavior was just too strange.
While ordinary people would have difficulty understanding this, Wynter, however, had picked up on something. Her gaze deepened as she murmured, "It seems we've encountered
a professional."
"Huh?" No one present quite understood what she meant.
Wynter didn't linger on the issue. Instead, she glanced over her shoulder and said, "Lucas, may I have a word with you?"
Lucas nodded. Compared to the others in the meeting, Lucas was actually more shocked by Wynter's identity as 001.
From the information he had heard, most of the cases that 001 handled were unconventional and not disclosed to the public.
It might sound mystical, but recent events had shown a shift in how things were being handled given that every country had its own unique fortune.
At the recent international conference, where fortune tellers from Mt. Dragon participated, they had discussed the Arcane Way.
It was rumored that ten years ago, due to various special cases, the Arcane Division was established.
Some of these individuals had mental abilities on par with software for calculations, while others had sensory abilities that could detect things that ordinary people couldn't.
Of course, there was also a group of individuals in Mt. Dragon itself, undergoing training in secret. This matter was confidential.
But whether Wynter was aware of all this was a question that lingered in Lucas' mind.
