386: How about we join Hafk?

"To be honest, there is a reason."

"If possible, I would like to know, you..."

"Which organization do you belong to?"

"After all, Hafke mobilized our global database, and we still couldn't find any information about you."

Liu Yan's expression shifted slightly.

In an instant, he sorted out his thoughts.

He also understood why Jacob had gone to such great lengths.

The strength brought by his golden finger, combined with the fact that he arrived through time travel and had no prior records.

It led the other party to mistake him for belonging to some mysterious organization.

It was precisely this organization, which he knew absolutely nothing about, that made him wary.

After all, if he really belonged to some organization.

There would be many people, and if just one of them could achieve such a level.

Then how exaggerated would the others in this organization be?

People tend to fill in the blanks themselves when facing the unknown.

And that imagination will inevitably go overboard.

Thinking of this, Liu Yan glanced unobtrusively at Jacob and the blue eagle helicopter following in the air outside the car window.

If Jacob knew right now that there was no organization behind him...

Would he still be able to just let the previous incident in Amiya Town slide?

Just as Liu Yan was considering how to respond, Jacob's calm voice came again.

"It seems there is no mysterious organization behind you as I had guessed."

As soon as these words were spoken, both Liu Yan and Roy, who was listening to their conversation from the side, were stunned.

In a brief moment, Liu Yan thought quickly.

And the result of his thinking made Liu Yan's pupils dilate involuntarily once again.

Jacob was bluffing him.

With the lie detector present, he couldn't answer this question.

If he said there was a mysterious organization behind him, the lie detector would definitely go off.

By then, it would mean that there really was no mysterious organization behind him.

And if he didn't answer, the result would be self-evident.

"Wait, he hasn't even said anything yet?"

Roy couldn't help but speak up.

Jacob did not answer Roy's question but instead observed Liu Yan's reaction.

Then, he nodded with a smile.

"It seems I guessed right; there really isn't one."

"As expected, it is better for people to be honest with each other."

After speaking, Jacob took out the lie detector from earlier from his pocket.

At this moment, the lie detector wasn't even turned on.

Seeing this, in that instant, Liu Yan felt like he had been played.

"There is indeed no organization behind me."

Liu Yan simply laid his cards on the table, while his whole body became vigilant.

If there was any sign of trouble next.

Liu Yan would kill Jacob at the first opportunity and escape with Roy.

Feeling the tense atmosphere inside the car, the driver, who had been driving attentively, couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.

A moment later, Jacob suddenly laughed.

"Hahaha, no need to be so nervous."

"I was just curious."

"Even if you don't have an organization behind you, I won't do anything to you."

"Now you can tell me where you want to get off."

"Or how about this, I saw you didn't get to eat your late-night snack, and I haven't eaten either. If you're hungry, we can have a meal together."

Liu Yan decisively shook his head and refused.

"No thanks."

Rumble————

At the same time, Roy's stomach let out an uncooperative growl from the side.

For a moment, the atmosphere became a bit awkward.

Jacob spoke first, breaking the awkward atmosphere.

"Bee Doctor's stomach is very honest."

Liu Yan didn't respond, instead raising his finger to point at an open space outside the window.

"Just drop us off here."

For some reason, even though Jacob was currently acting very easy to get along with.

Liu Yan, from the bottom of his heart, couldn't muster even a shred of affection for him, or even the name itself.

It's like some people; they haven't done anything, but you just don't like the look of them.

Jacob didn't hesitate at all, nor did he try to dissuade him; he just raised his hand to signal the driver to stop.

The other party was so decisive, not even trying to keep them, which left Liu Yan feeling a bit confused.

If one had to describe how Liu Yan felt right now.

It would be that Liu Yan felt like the heroine in a Galgame.

And Jacob was trying to romance him.

This kind of tug-of-war really wasn't very comfortable.

Click—

After the car stopped, Liu Yan opened the door, pulled Roy out with him, and then closed the door.

Just as Jacob was about to leave, the black car window slowly rolled down.

"Before I leave, I have one more thing to say."

"Everything that happened before was caused by a misunderstanding."

"Hafke will never become your enemy."

"I hope that in your heart, you will not regard Hafke as an enemy either."

"If we have the chance to meet again next time, perhaps we can find a suitable place to have a good chat."

After Jacob finished speaking, he smiled and waved at Liu Yan.

As the window rolled up, the hum of the car engine began.

Under the gaze of Liu Yan and Roy, the car gradually disappeared into the night.

Inside the car, with only the driver and Jacob left, the driver finally couldn't help but ask the question in his heart.

"Mr. Jacob, you seem to value him highly."

"But this subordinate doesn't understand why."

Facing the driver's question, Jacob adjusted his seat back, reclined slightly, and shook his head with a smile.

"They say a driver should know their boss's mind inside and out."

"From that perspective, you are clearly not very qualified."

"You saw that video, didn't you? What he was equipped with seemed to be an improved version of the power propulsion device."

"Just think, the number of people who can use the power propulsion device is already extremely rare."

"Not to mention one with double the speed and no need to wait for recharging."

"This kind of continuous high-speed propulsion places high demands on the human body and requires high physical fitness."

"What Hafke has always lacked is not the speed of technological research and development."

"But rather, the usage."

"For example, our current level is enough to build a fighter jet that transcends the era."

"But is there anyone who can fly it?"

The driver shook his head.

"That's right. Whether it's equipment, weapons, or vehicles."

"Building them isn't difficult."

"But being able to build them and have them be successfully used is the most limiting key point."

"I really hope in my heart that he can join Hafke."

"What a great talent..."

Jacob sighed helplessly.

"I hope there will be this opportunity later."

On the open ground.

Countless helicopters and weapons swept over the heads and past the sides of the two men, Liu Yan and Roy.

Gradually, under the pitch-black night, only the two of them were left on the entire open ground.

After all the vehicles had moved further and further away, Roy squatted on the ground, clutching his head in a breakdown.

Liu Yan held his forehead speechlessly.

"It's just missing one meal, isn't it?"

"You don't have to be like this..."

Roy waved his hand.

"It's not about the food."

"I've been expelled from GTI now, and I don't even know how to explain it to my wife and daughter."

Once these words were spoken, Liu Yan suddenly remembered.

Just now, because he stood up for him.

Roy...

Had already been fired by GTI.

In an instant, guilt surged in Liu Yan's heart like a tide.

Is this what time travel is...

Liu Yan looked at Roy, who was squatting on the ground in a breakdown.

He thought about the time from when he traveled here until now.

It seems that people who get close to him.

All end up getting into trouble.

If it weren't for him...

Perhaps the course of all this wouldn't be like this.

In the heart of Roy's daughter...

Her dad should be a really amazing secret agent, or special forces soldier, or something like that.

Putting himself in Roy's shoes, the current situation is indeed a bit hard to explain.

Just when Liu Yan didn't know how to comfort him, Roy stood up abruptly.

"Liu Yan, if there's really no other way, why don't you talk to Jacob, and let's join Hafke?"

"They pay more over there!"

Liu Yan: ???
