Chapter 1790: Threatened

"We heard that you can get the evidence from Theodore Griffith regarding the Vice President."

"!!!" Ronald widened his eyes in shock, realizing what they were talking about. That night, he indeed heard Theo promise him the information if he were ever stuck.

However, he didn't count on it since he had to try his best first before relying on him. Theo had done so much for them after all.

And it seemed that the government wanted that information.

Taking him with them was enough for him to know they were trying to force him to be their agent. As soon as they received the evidence, they wouldn't hesitate to discard him.

But there was one more thing that scared him. The thought of what the government could do to his family flashed in his mind.

On the one hand, he didn't care much about what happened to him personally since he was in this line of work. On the other hand, he had two children and one wife in his house. If he didn't give them what they wanted, those three would be harmed.

So, Ronald had no choice but to give what they wanted.

"I" Ronald tried to talk, but the guy stated, "You don't need to waste your breath. As long as you're able to get it, we'll leave your family alone."

'As if,' Ronald cursed. There were two possibilities for his family. The government might silence him and his family, or the government might threaten him and keep him under supervision.

Both of them wouldn't work well for him. After all, he had to betray Theo's trust without being able to speak up for it.

The guy gritted his teeth and stated with a coarse tone. "Don't harm my family."

After he said those words, the woman tapped the driver's shoulder, signaling him to change their destination.

They went straight to Theo's territory. Although they didn't know the exact position of Theo's place, there was a huge area without any monsters around. They believed Theo's location was near it since Theo should have gotten rid of all the monsters in his territory.

As long as they could drive this guy to Theo, their mission should be completed.

"Remember, we're going to drive you there, but before reaching the exact location, you're going on your own. If you betray us, no one will know what happens to your family."

"If you try to ask his help, we have many agents monitoring you. Unless he can defeat all of us at once, it will be useless. We'll inform the team in front of your house to immediately INVITE your family."

Ronald gritted his teeth. He didn't want to do this but had no choice.

"Don't harm my family. If you harm my family, I'm not going to do it." Ronald stated with an angry tone. "Before doing it, I have to call my family."

"Just do your"

Before the guy finished his words, Ronald shouted, "If I don't know the condition of my family before going there, I will consider you have harmed them and will snitch your activity on Sir Theo."

"" The two agents exchanged looks as if discussing whether they should give him a chance or not.

Roland's mental state seemed to be stronger than they thought. He knew that there was a possibility that his family had been silenced while he was doing it, so he had to make sure they were safe first.

It was a desperate attempt, but this was the only thing he could do for his family.

Ultimately, both of them nodded. "Alright. But if you say something weird, we're going to cut the call immediately and give the signal to our team there."

"I know." Ronald snarled. Of course, it wouldn't be easy to break his heart, considering he was the bravest reporter that dared to approach Theo first.

It took a few hours before they approached Theo's territory. As soon as they arrived at their destination, there was another car prepared for him.

"Hurry up!" They pushed the guy outside and signaled him he could call his family.

Since they were suspicious of him, they gave him another Skylink and forced him to call his family with this one.

"" Ronald bit his lips and inputted his wife's number.

"Hello?" His wife's voice soon resounded in his ears.

Ronald wanted to break down because he had endangered them. But he had to keep his calm since he didn't want his wife and children to panic and worry.

He took a deep breath and said, "Honey."

"Ah?" His wife instantly recognized his voice, but before she spoke, Ronald said, "I'm calling you from my friend's Skylink since I left mine in the office. We're having a party right now and I might go home a bit late today."

"Is that so? Do you want me to make you some food?"

"No. I'll eat here."

"Okay."

"Take care of the children, OK? Do you want me to buy you something on the way?"

"No, it's fine. I'll just bring the children to bed and sleep first."

"Sure, thanks."

"Have fun out there. Come back as soon as possible."

"Yeah. Love you."

"Uhm. Love you."

It was a brief conversation, but he didn't find any change with his wife, so it meant they hadn't met any contact. He felt relieved, knowing his family was alright.

After that, he gave the Skylink back while glaring at these two people. He was unwilling to take this role, but he was forced to sit in the car and drive it until he found Theo.

"I don't know where his place is." Ronald glared at them.

"Just drive around and someone from his group will find you sooner or later."

Ronald realized they also didn't know about Theo's base. But Ronald could do nothing but obey them.

He drove around, waiting for his car to be spotted.

The city looked abandoned, but he knew there were many agents placed in the building, observing his every movement.

Whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, he saw fog ahead. That was the weirdest occurrence he had ever seen, so he knew he might have gone to the right place.

A bit hesitant, he entered the fog.
