Chapter 418: Chapter 418

"What do you want from me?" Landon Lawson slightly furrowed his handsome eyebrows, looking at the man in front of him with a scrutinizing gaze.

During these turbulent times, suddenly someone comes out claiming to know the mysterious person, how could he not be suspicious? Who knows what this person’s true purpose is?

Caleb Shawcross smiled broadly as he spoke to Landon Lawson, "I know you’ve been looking for that mysterious figure behind everything, and I happen to know all about him."

"Shouldn’t you take off your mask while talking to me?"

Landon’s gaze remained fixed on his black mask; till now he has only seen this man’s eyes and has no idea what he looks like. With such secrecy, on what grounds are they discussing the matters of the mysterious person? The most update n0vels are published on NoveI-Fire.ɴet

Caleb was startled at first, then quickly took off the mask from his face. It was a very young face, smiling as he extended his hand to Landon Lawson, "Hello, my name is Caleb Shawcross."

Landon Lawson squinted to scrutinize the man in front of him but couldn’t quite understand the reason for his visit today.

But his icy voice slowly sounded out as he reached out to shake Caleb’s hand, squinting as he continued to assess the man in front of him. Though Caleb was revealing his knowledge of the mysterious person, until Landon knew his true purpose and whether he was trustworthy, he wouldn’t divulge any information from his side.

Why would someone coincidentally come to him when he needed help the most?

Everything felt so strange.

Caleb Shawcross, seeing Landon Lawson’s serious demeanor, scratched his head a bit awkwardly and said somewhat nervously, "I know coming to you so suddenly might make you think I’m a bad guy, but I hope you understand we are on the same side. We have a common enemy, so I hope we can cooperate."

Caleb’s gaze gradually turned sincere...

Now, it seemed only Landon Lawson could help save him and the old man...

Now that he knew Donovan Shawcross’s side was constantly sending people after him, the situation with the old man was still under wraps, but one day it will unquestionably come to light.

"What do you have to offer to cooperate with me?" The man’s mouth curved into a mocking smile.

Many people wanted to collaborate with him, but few truly caught his eye...

Caleb Shawcross tightly pressed his lips together and suddenly said, "Don’t you want to know about Donovan Shawcross’s whereabouts?"

The man was visibly taken aback, clearly hearing the name for the first time.

"He’s what you call the mysterious person."

Landon Lawson was slightly stunned... So that person was called Donovan Shawcross...

"He is the second young master of our Shawcross Family, an old family that has lived peacefully for so many years... but the second young master has been ambitious, always thinking about how to make the family stronger, which eventually led him to do many wrong things. Now, your business... It’s what he set his eyes on ten years ago, but our family’s old man never agreed, so he gradually started to eat away the old man’s power... Finally, he found a private doctor, with the intent to frame the old man..."

Caleb Shawcross relayed all the information he knew to Landon Lawson.

Landon listened intently, but his eyes grew ever deeper.

The private doctor Caleb spoke of was, of course, Miles Grant, forced by Donovan Shawcross’s threats to commit those heinous acts, ultimately leading to his own destruction. Every time Landon thought about it, he felt a twinge of heartache...

If he had known Caleb Shawcross’s situation earlier, would the ensuing events have been different?

Ultimately, it was his own failure to be a good friend that led to this situation.

All these matters have developed to this point because he couldn’t protect his friend, nor could he safeguard his wife and children.

He truly was a failure as a man.

After Caleb finished recounting everything, Landon stared at the man in front of him, expressionless. The cold gaze made Caleb shiver, not knowing what the person in front of him was thinking.

"I have now told you everything."

Caleb looked at him nervously, fearing that this man would refuse his request.

"I hope you will seriously consider it. I can truly be of great help to you, I know all of Donovan Shawcross’s affairs and can even help you gradually dismantle those inside the family."

Caleb spoke earnestly.

A faint smile suddenly appeared at the corner of Landon Lawson’s mouth, with a thick layer of mockery in his upturned gaze, "Do you want to collaborate with me that badly? It seems your current situation isn’t very good, huh?" Landon Lawson saw through the precarious situation of Caleb Shawcross in an instant.

Caleb’s mouth twitched slightly as he looked at Landon Lawson, his expression gradually turning strange. He finally realized why the external evaluations of him were so accurate... After encountering Landon Lawson, he found this man difficult to deal with.

Since Landon saw through all his secrets, he could only smile bitterly and shake his head, "I’m in a difficult position right now, Donovan Shawcross’s side has been searching for me, and today, even meeting with you was a significant risk. They’ve probably already tracked my movements."

Caleb was seeking to collaborate with Landon Lawson just to ensure the safety of himself and the old man.

At the same time, he wanted to help the old man reclaim the family...

Seeing the embarrassment on Caleb Shawcross’s face, Landon’s lips curved up into a smile. He suddenly stood up and walked towards the outside without saying a word.

Caleb anxiously watched the man’s departing back, feeling a faint sense of loss in his eyes.

Then suddenly, Landon Lawson’s steps paused. He turned his head and said to the man behind him, "What are you waiting for? Aren’t you coming along?"

Caleb was momentarily stunned, then he laughed, quickly following Landon with small steps, remembering to put his mask back on before leaving.

Trailing behind Landon Lawson, Caleb whispered, "So is this your way of saying you’ve decided to work with us?"

"Since you’re already following along, what do you think my answer is?"

Landon Lawson’s expression remained cold, but Caleb could clearly see a hint of softness in his eyes.
