Chapter 173: The Puzzle
It was Sunday.
Almost everyone, when they pa.s.sed by the security room, would take a few glances.
There was a hint of nervousness and excitement in the girls’ eyes.
Jack was used to it. He was leisurely browsing the hot spots in the security room, reading novels. He was relaxed and casual.
At this time, a Mercedes-Benz with license plate B16688 was speeding down the road, and sitting in the driver’s seat was Brady.
“Aisha, why did you suddenly think of going to the Blue Sunset Coast to do your homework today?”
“I just want to. If you ask me again, I’ll get out of the car,” Aisha threatened him.
“Good, good, my little princess. I promised your mother that I would take you there.”
Aisha rolled her beautiful eyes. “Annoying.”
Soon, just as they were about to reach the Blue Sunset Coast, Aisha said, “Park the car here. I’ll walk there myself.”
Brady looked puzzled, but he still pressed the brake lightly. “Okay, you finish your homework. I’ll come and pick you up.”
The car came to a stop. Aisha jumped out of the car and said, “There’s no need for you to pick me up. I’ll take a taxi back myself.”
Watching Aisha turn back three times with each step, Brady felt that this little girl had been acting strange all morning. He couldn’t help but think of what Jennifer said. Recently, Aisha had been learning how to cook.
He didn’t know who she was cooking for, but he felt that the guy must be extremely unlucky.
“She’s so mysterious. Could it be that this girl has fallen in love?” Brady watched as Aisha walked into the residential area and also secretly got off the car.
He really wanted to see who had the ability to capture their little princess.
At this moment, Jack was reading a novel.
Knock knock!
Aisha knocked on the door and entered.
Looking at her pure and charming smile, Jack was not surprised at all.
It was the weekend, so he was somehow expecting that she would come.
But he still pretended to be surprised and said, “Why are you here?”
“Hehe! You didn’t expect it, right? I came to accompany you. Otherwise, you would be bored.” Aisha put down her bag.
Jack nodded and pointed. “Then you can sit there and do your homework!”
“Yes, yes.” Aisha nodded obediently.
But at this moment, Jack felt someone was watching him.
He turned around and immediately met Brady’s gaze.
Brady smiled slightly and gestured with a cigarette in his hand. Then, he turned around and walked to the locust tree.
“You do your homework first. I’ll go out for a while,” Jack said to Aisha as he walked out of the security room.
“Have a cigarette.” Brady took out two cigarettes and handed them to Jack respectfully.
He was amazed by Jack’s skills. He had fought with Jack before, but he was beaten to a pulp.
Since then, Brady had regarded Jack as his idol.
Jack took the cigarette, and Brady lit it for him with both hands.
Last time, Jennifer said to hire a bodyguard for her daughter. This time, Brady suddenly appeared and hid, as if he was avoiding Aisha.
Then, the relationship between the three of them was very clear.
Jack exhaled a puff of smoke and said, “Aisha is Jennifer’s daughter. Your relationship with her doesn’t seem to be ordinary. It should be a sibling relationship.”
Brady widened his eyes and gave a random thumbs up. “Wow, you can even guess that. As expected of a security guard. He is able to see through people and things.”
“All right, you can go back. Aisha is safe here.” Jack glanced at Aisha, who was doing her homework in the security room.
“Of course, I will go back now. The little girl is a little willful. Sorry to trouble you.”
After Brady finished speaking, he bowed slightly and left.
When he got into the car, he found that Jack was still looking at him from behind. He immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
That sharp gaze was like a laser, seeing through him completely.
Hiss!
Brady shivered, started the car, and left. At the same time, he dialed Jennifer’s number.
“Guess who Aisha went to meet at the Blue Sunset Coast?”
“How would I know? Don’t beat around the bush.”
“The security guard I fought before. Jack? He’s now a security guard there.”
“How did they meet? But it’s really interesting. We hired him as a bodyguard, but he and Aisha already knew each other. If that’s the case, I’m not at ease. Although Jack is a little cold and arrogant, he’s still a very upright person.”
“Yeah, I think so too. Or you can move there. Isn’t that more convenient?”
“It’s more convenient for that girl Aisha, right? That’s fine too. When you have time, go find a housekeeper and tidy up the room over there.”
Brady’s car soon disappeared into the traffic. Jack casually threw the cigarette b.u.t.t into the ashtray and returned to the security room.
He didn’t know if it was because of Aisha’s existence, but Jack felt that the day pa.s.sed very quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was already nighttime.
At around seven o’clock, Harry arrived. When he saw Aisha writing, his eyes suddenly widened. He had never seen such a beautiful little girl.
His mouth began to drift again.
“Oh my, whose little girl is this? She’s so beautiful. She must be a little fairy from the sky!”
Harry immediately began to praise her.
However, Aisha’s entire attention was on Jack, and she treated Harry like air.
Harry’s mouth was so tired that it slipped, but Aisha still looked as if she didn’t see it. Her face fell, and her state of mind collapsed.
This scene made his worldview collapse. He realized that there were still women in this world who didn’t like to be praised.
At this moment, Jack said, “Aisha, it’s getting late. You should go back.”
“You haven’t eaten dinner yet. Why don’t we go to the barbecue shop next door? I know there’s one not far from here. I’ll treat you.” Aisha raised her delicate little face, her big eyes full of antic.i.p.ation.
“I’ll treat you.” Jack agreed and asked Harry beside him, “What do you want to eat? I’ll bring you some food later.”
“Brother Jie, there’s no need. You guys should hurry up. There’ll be more people soon.” Harry waved his hand.
So, Jack took Aisha and left.
In fact, during the day, Jack saw some information about the G.o.d Slayer’s a.s.sociation on the Forum. It was basically the same as what Richard had said. It was just a bunch of punks eating, drinking, and having fun.
However, every organization had a leader. This a.s.sociation was well-hidden except for the investors.
However, since they were here for him, he should show them something.
This game was only fun if there were exchanges.
However, Jack didn’t plan to do it himself. He liked the game of cat and mouse.
Now that both the cat and mouse were online, he only needed to throw a fuse and he could reap the benefits.
Meanwhile, at the NYPD…
Ross had suddenly received a mysterious e-mail.
It was sent by the Death Inquisitor.
After a busy night, with dark circles under everyone’s eyes, Ross was about to tell everyone to take a break when an e-mail completely shattered the plan.
Judy opened the e-mail after she confirmed it was safe.
Everyone gathered around to see what the Deat Inquisitor was up to.
There was a small line on the subject line.
Judy read it out loud.
—
h.e.l.lo, Zero Major Crimes Unit. I am the Death Inquisitor.
I know you want to catch me. You want to capture me so much that you think about it even in your dreams.
But you have to be able to compete with me first. There is a small game below. You have thirty minutes to clear all the levels. I hope you can surpa.s.s me.
After clearing the level, you will get a clue from me. At that time, we may be able to meet.
This is a rare opportunity, so take it.

As Judy read it out loud, she moved her mouse cursor over to the little game below the e-mail. It was similar to a regular web-game puzzle.
