Chapter 545 Leaving the Storm Behind

In the end, it was Shane who spoke. “Apply for a transfer.”

It was the fastest way to escape the turmoil.

But Jade was unwilling. He had clawed his way to his current position with years of effort. If he transferred out now, all his planning would be wasted.

“If you don’t transfer, then who are you planning to back?”

Shane’s tone was mocking. Before Jade could reply, he added, “You’ve shown your leanings before. If you leave now, you can still choose your own post. But when the dust settles, the choice won’t be yours anymore.”

Jade’s brows furrowed. “And how do you know that person will be the final victor?”

Shane didn’t bother to argue. He stood and said, “Don’t believe me? Then gamble on it.”

That night, the study of the Goodman family remained lit until dawn. The following morning, Jade submitted his transfer request.

Just as Shane had said – leaving now meant he could still pick his place, and the transfer was considered lateral. Later on, who could say?

While Jade prepared to leave, Shane chose to stay.

“You’re staying? Are you insane?”

“I’m a nobody. I don’t affect the big picture.”

Jade knew that was true, but it didn’t ease his mind. “Don’t go stirring up trouble.”

–

never listening, always Shane was the one who gave him the biggest headaches unpredictable. Sometimes not even Jade himself knew what was going on in Shane’s mind. Especially when it came to Jonathan: once, Shane had wanted nothing more than to kill him, yet later he could work alongside him.

But Shane never listened. He turned and walked away.

Two days later, Shane and Jonathan met. No one would have believed the two of them would actually sit down together.

Jonathan had already heard the news of Jade’s transfer. He glanced at Shane. “You’re not leaving?”

“Why should I leave? You and I still haven’t settled who’s stronger. Once this business is over, I want to see which of us comes out on top.”

Jonathan’s lips curled faintly. “I’ll be leaving in a few days.”

“What?” Shane was taken aback. He had expected others to leave, but not Jonathan.

“Sierra’s pregnant. It’s too cold here.”

Jonathan knew how to draw resentment with a single sentence.

He and Sierra had decided to leave for a while – partly because of the cold weather, partly because of the unstable situation.

Jonathan had no wish to let the Wynn family be dragged into the conflict. His clash with Victor had been out of necessity. Now that Victor was gone, there was no reason to stand directly against that figure in the capital. He would step away and return once the storm had passed.

Before leaving, Jonathan went to see,White.

With Victor gone, few still paid him any attention. But internationally, his name was still controversial. Many coveted the technology he held. That was the only reason he was still alive.

Jonathan knew he must already have heard of Victor’s fate, but he told him anyway. As expected, White showed no surprise.

“Get me out, and I’ll tell you everything I know,” White said.

He only had one chip to bargain with, but Jonathan had no need for it. If he truly wanted that knowledge, he could have obtained it elsewhere. The ones behind its development weren’t all dead.

“You stay put.” Jonathan’s tone was indifferent. Letting White die too easily would be far too merciful. He had harmed too many people. He deserved to spend his

life paying for it.

If he wanted to live, he would have to keep his secrets interrogations, a cycle with no escape.
