Chapter 227 Meeting That Stranger When Tiffany saw the text message, she was instantly wide awake and sat up in bed with a loud thud.
Leon, in the room next door, naturally heard the noise.
He stared at the wall in confusion, wondering what Tiffany was doing at this hour.
Tiffany quickly replied to the message, confirming the tand place for the meeting. Suddenly, there was a knock on Leon's door.
He thought he was imagining it, but the knock cagain, followed by Tiffany's voice. "Leon, are you awake?" Tiffany asked softly, not wanting to disturb him.
When the door didn't open right away, Tiffany turned to go back to her room.
The next second, Leon opened the door and leaned against the frame, asking, "What are you doing up in the middle of the night?" "That person messaged me. They want to meet." Tiffany showed Leon the message, and he couldn't hide the flash of excitement in his eyes.
"I'll go meet them tomorrow." "I'm coming with you." Leon knew that person had many secrets, and he needed to ask them face-to-face.
And there was the matter of "Leon"-maybe they knew something about that too.
"But I'm worried if you leave, Global Nexus Corporation..." "Nothing will happen," Leon said firmly, staring straight at Tiffany.
Seeing how determined Leon was, Tiffany knew she couldn't change his mind.
"Alright, get srest." "Goodnight," Leon quickly said, closing the door.
Tiffany stood there, touching her ear, wondering if she had heard correctly. Leon said cccdnight" kry? She turned and went back to her room, and surprisingly, she slept well.

Tiffany and Leon left together and arrived at the agreed location. After getting out of the car, they realized the place was quite secluded.
There were hardly any people around, and few cars passed by.
Leon frowned, locked the car, and walked over to Tiffany, saying with displeasure, "He asked you to chere. Isn't that suspicious?" Leon even thought about what would happen if he hadn't cwith Tiffany. What if something happened to her? "No, I think he genuinely wants to help us." Tiffany trusted the person and spoke with certainty.
Leon was a bit annoyed but said nothing.
They waited in an abandoned building, the meeting tset for nine o'clock.
Tiffany glanced at her phone.
"Two more minutes." She looked at Leon, feeling a bit nervous.
She didn't know what would happen after they met the person and learned what they wanted to know...
Two minutes passed quickly.
Tiffany looked around but saw no one.
This was strange.
Was the person playing her? Leon looked impatient, his tone cold.
"He set the time, so where is he? Are you still going to work with someone so unreliable?" Leon clearly had a strong opinion about the person and didn't want to wait any longer. Seeing Leon about to leave, Tiffany grabbed his arm and apologized.

His actions made it clear to Tiffany that once the twas up, he would leave immediately.
A while later, the two minutes were up, and they still hadn't seen anyone.
Leon's eyes darkened, his gaze cold.
"It seems he never intended to meet us. He's just messing with us. Let's go. Don't waste any more there." Tiffany opened her mouth to say something, but Leon pulled her away.
As they reached the car and were about to leave, they heard footsteps behind them.
They turned around simultaneously to see a person standing opposite them, their long hair covering their face, making it hard to see their features.
The person wore inexpensive clothes, with a long cloak reaching their ankles.
It seemed like they had no sense of security, wrapping themselves up in their clothes and hair, not wanting to be exposed.
Tiffany walked closer, asking hesitantly, "Hi, did you ask to meet me?" The person nodded, their dark eyes glancing at Leon.
"Let's talk over there." The person pointed to the abandoned building.
Tiffany and Leon then followed the person to a secluded corner of the building.
The person kept looking around, afraid of being seen.
Leon grew more impatient, grabbing the person's hand and coldly demanding, "What are you up to with all this secrecy?" "I can't be seen by Global Nexus Corporation. If they find me, they'll kill me..." The person spoke with a trembling voice, shaking off Leon's hand.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOnce they were sure no one else was around, they sighed in relief.
They looked at Tiffany and began to speak.
"Tiffany, it's not that I didn't want to see you in Harmony City. It's just that if I showed up, Global Nexus Corporation would know. I've Been Would hiding for so long to make them think I'm dead. But you and Leon coming here has already alerted Global Nexus Corporation. If I don't show up now, I'm afraid something will happen to you, and then no one will be able to helpget revenge."
Just a heads up: is the only place to read the complete version of this book for free. Don't miss out on the Kfree next chapter-visit us now and continue your journey! Tiffany listened but still felt confused.
Why was this person so sure that Global Nexus Corporation wanted to kill them? Was there more to their conflict? But that didn't make sense.
It wasn't to the point of losing their life.
"So who are you really?" Tiffany narrowed her eyes, asking seriously.
The person didn't try to hide anymore, pushing their hair back to reveal clear eyes.
Seeing his face again, Tiffany was shocked.
His face was disfigured.
A long scar ran across their face, like a centipede crawling.
"I know I look terrible now, but the one responsible for this is Global Nexus Corporation..." Whenever he mentioned Global Nexus Corporation, his fists clenched, eyes filled with hatred. Tiffany could tell there was a deep connection between them and Global Nexus Corporation. "But I traced your IP address. It was in Harmony City... Why are you abroad?" "To be honest, I just arrived today." He smiled bitterly, looking down, eyes full of resentment.
"I hesitated for a long time, but I knew I couldn't keep running. I have to stop Global
Nexus Corporation's plans. Tiffany, I'll tell you everything kknow. Please, you have to help me." He spoke sincerely, eyes bright with determination.
Tiffany nodded.
Leon stepped forward, standing protectively in front of Tiffany, his gaze skeptical.
"How do I know you're not making all this up?"
