Chapter 2735
"It's okay. We can still trace them as long as we have some clues to work with," Nicole comforted Patricia.
Patricia had provided her with some very useful information. In fact, it was an essential discovery. The next step
would be to determine the direction of the investigation.
"I'll do it," Patricia said decisively.
However, Nicole shook her head. "There's no rush. Just go home and get some rest. Well decide after meeting up
with Max and Charlie."
"Well, I'll take a nap in the office," Patricia replied.
She could rendezvous with Max and Charlie right after work if she stayed here. If she went home right now, she
might have to wait until the next day, and she hardly had the patience forthat.
Nicole shook her head as she watched Patricia leave. She then called her secretary to make the necessary

After ending the call, she leaned back against her chair with a darkened gaze. 'Based on Patricia's analysis, I
wonder where those men from.'
It was almost the end of the workday when Nicole left Riddle Corporation and headed to Johnston Group with
Patricia.
"You're early," Jared remarked, surprised to see her.
"Patricia made a discovery," Nicole went straight to the point as soon as she entered his office. ’Have Max and
Charlie come over."
Jared called them over, and Patricia went on to explain the encounter with her assailants earlier.
"So they really made a move." Charlie's eyes darkened.
Then, Max frowned and asked, "Are you sure that's how they fought?"
"Yes. I had already pulled Ellar out of the danger zone at that time, so I saw it very clearly," Patricia confirmed.
"If that's the case, I know about an organization." Max continued through gritted teeth. "Do any of you remember
the Eastern Falcon?"
"Do you mean..." Patricia’s eyes widened in shock. "But they haven't shown any signs of activity for a long time
now."
Max nodded. "That's what I find strange too. According to Patricia's description of their combat techniques, there's
only one particular group with a style that resembles theirs, and that's the Eastern Falcon."
However, as Patricia had stated, the Eastern Falcon had been inactive for many years.
"Why haven't they been active?" Nicole asked in confusion as she had not heard of this organization before.
"It's said that a mission failure had caused major issues within their organization, forcing them to retreat and lick
their wounds,” Patricia explained.
"Is it possible that their recovery period is almost over?" Nicole asked.
If that was the case, the organization should have recovered to full strength by now. Still, both Patricia and Max
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwere shocked upon learning that they could very well be the ones responsible for the encounter earlier.
"The problem is, they've declared that they would never set foot in the world of mercenary syndicates ever again.
They've also retreated to a place where no one would find them. That's how they managed to recover from the
fallout of their last mission." Max continued.
"That's why I find it strange that they've appeared. Even if they're tired of remaining in the shadows, they wouldn't
go after Nicole unless they have a good reason to," Max finished.
Nicole understood the general idea and looked at Jared, who gave her a light nod, confirming that Max and Patricia
were indeed telling the truth.
"If that's the case, there's only one possibility. There must be a solid reason for them to emerge, regardless of
whether it's internal or external," Nicole said as an icy glint crossed her eyes.
The only question that remained was, why had they decided to target her, of all people?
"I understand. I'll get someone to investigate," Patricia immediately responded.
Nicole's allies could first investigate their internal ongoings, and if the reason for their reemergence was not tied to
issues within the organization, then it would not be a stretch to conclude that they were motivated by external
factors. Though it seemed as though there could be countless possibilities, investigating the Eastern Falcon would
not be a difficult task at all.
