Chapter 1011
Bonnie shrugged. “Of course, I’ve thought it through. I wouldn’t have suggested it otherwise.”
Then she pated Ivor’s shoulder and added, “Don’t worry. Since I said I’d take you along, I can ensure your safety. Just follow me and be confident.”
Ivor found her casual demeanor amusing and exasperating. “It’ll be too late if something goes wrong.”
His hesitance made Bonnie’s patience wear thin. She said, “Just tell me whether or not you’re coming. If you don’t want to go, I’ll go in alone, and you can stay here.” Ads by PubFuture
She found his cautiousness annoying, especially for a grown man.
Ivor glanced at the interior before looking back at Bonnie. “Since you’re unafraid, I don’t have a reason to hesitate. Let’s explore and find out where Falcon’s hiding.”
His decision to accompany Bonnie stemmed from his desire to maintain a good relationship with her. Then, he could extend the time needed to research the chip.
Initially, he only planned to stay around the perimeter, but since Bonnie would venture inside, he could not stand idly by.

Bonnie said lightly, “All right, let’s head in.”
Ivor followed closely behind while continuously checking their rear to avoid surprise attacks. When they entered the villa, a damp and decaying stench hit them.
Bonnie almost gagged but managed to suppress it due to her well-trained endurance. After all, she had survived similar environments during her training. Although it had not bothered her then, years without such exposure had dimmed her endurance.
Ivor struggled, too, as his severe cleanliness habits made the environment particularly unbearable. Bonnie shined her flashlight at him and noticed his discomfort. She asked, “Hey, are you good?”
He suppressed his nausea and shook his head. “I’m fine.”
“You can head back out if you can’t handle it. Don’t push yourself,” Bonnie said, reconsidering her earlier decision to let him tag along. It seemed she had underestimated the severity of the conditions and began to worry about Ivor.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
“I can handle it. Let’s keep going.” Ivor pushed on, determined not to lose his ego. After all, he was also a leader of an organization, and he felt he had to endure it if Bonnie could. Turning back now would be humiliating and unacceptable.
Bonnie furrowed her brow and shone the flashlight at him again. Noticing his persistence, she nagged, You know your limits. If you can’t take it, say so instead of acting tough. I won’t laugh at you, so why are you so concerned about your pride?”
