Chapter 943
943 The Special Unit
“That’s weird.” The old man moved his fingers, seemingly counting something. His frown deepened ,
It was just like before! Whenever Wynter was the target in question, he would not be able to read her fortune. If she had some connections with Kaspar, he would have at least been able to foresee it.
If he was successful, that would mean that she was nothing more than an apprentice.
But he couldn’t foresee anything. So, who was the force behind her? And what did she have to hide that even he was not able to foresee ?
Even the fall of the Lowes family felt ominous.
The other party’s method had been so subtle that they were barely noticeable.
Not to mention, the Lowe family should have some connections within their family. They should at least have a small guarantee of safety.
However, the Lowe family had crumbled within one night. There wasn’t even anything left to salvage.
Hence, the old man couldn’t help but think of the task force he had interacted with before–the Special
Unit.
The Special Unit wasn’t under any government’s control. Yet, they were always able to find and destroy a spy’s hideout and their place of gathering.
However, they mainly focused on tasks from overseas.
Their tasks were often similar to destroying groups just like what had happened to the Lowe family. No one knew who did it, and perhaps there was evidence left.
But if someone really spent the effort to investigate the matter, anyone who had any evidence would
seem to experience something akin to memory loss.
Back then, someone had spent a lot of money to investigate their task force,
But the only thing they were able to find was that the Special Unit may be somehow related to the army.
As for where they came from, who they were, and how old they were–these questions remained
unanswered.
If someone really planned on infiltrating Cascadia, they would have to find that task force first.
The old man had not cared about such things before. He was a Cascadian himself. His only goal was to gain immortality. That was the only reason why he was learning ascending skills.
Hence, a task force like the Special Unit would not have anything to do with him. But things were different
now.
The old man let go of his bracelet and said, “You have interacted with someone from the Special Unit before. Do you think Ms. Quinnell is somewhat related to the Special Unit?”
943 the spec al Unit
Tyler’s expression immediately changed when he heard the old man mention the Special Unit. A lot of the people he had nurtured all failed because of the Special Unit.
However, that task force did not belong to any division within the government. They come and go as if they were shadows in the dark, and they only specialized in dealing with special tasks.
All of their tasks were always completed flawlessly. Hence, no one had been able to gain the upper hand
over them.
That was why Tyler always kept his identity a secret and chose to work as Declan’s butler.
On one hand, it made gaining information about the Quinnells easier for him. But more importantly, it was because the secretive Special Unit was too sharp.
But did that young woman from the Quinnell family have something to do with the Special Unit?
Tyler was confident as he said, “That’s impossible. She managed to keep some secrets about herself, like the fact that she’s smart and has the skills of a doctor and knowledge on design.
“But someone in the Special Unit would not maintain such a high profile in public. Each and every one of them has hidden their identities well.
“For example, there isn’t any information about L, the hacker, in the alliance. He rarely shows himself. But
when he does…”
Tyler suddenly frowned as he said, “It seems like the Reeds‘ fall from grace has something to do with L.” After hearing the old man’s suggestions, Tyler’s thoughts became much clearer. “But why does he want the public to criticize the Lowe family? That isn’t something he would do.”
“It might not be what he would do, but it doesn’t mean that someone in the Special Unit would not want
that.”
The old man narrowed his eyes and made his way toward him. When he inched closer, Tyler could detect the unconcealable smell of blood and medicine on the old man.
“It seems that it’s about time I meet Ms. Quinnell myself. I want to see how much she is truly hiding. After all, she has been in my way for quite some time now.”
