The people around them were still amazed by Ryan's dazzling fishing technique. The man left them with a satisfied face. As for Valerie, she felt her heart flutter continuously and her face continued to blush. Ryan's satisfied smile and the warmth of his hug were still tightly lingering in her mind. Biting her lip, she decided to go after the man.

When Ryan left the fishing area, he was a little disappointed. His actions had been cool earlier and he left right away without saying a word to the girl. Why hadn't that girl chased him yet? Was the charm still lacking? If it was true that the girl didn't chase him, would it seem strange that he would come back and ask for her cellphone number?

That girl was such a rare beauty to his eyes especially when she had big breasts. Finally he decided that if the girl didn't chase him, he would come back and ask for her cell number. To hell with his pride!

At that very moment, there was a shout from behind his back, "Wait!"

'Yes! It seems that my charm hasn't faded!'

Putting on a serious face, Ryan turned and saw Valerie who was trying to approach him. Valerie seemed to be running after Ryan. Her big chest was moving up and down constantly and made Ryan gulp. His eyes did not change direction even for a second.

Maybe his wife was no less big but he felt that the girl was bigger and more beautiful.

"I haven't thanked you for your kindness earlier ... My name is Valerie, nice to meet you." With a gasping breath, Valerie immediately thanked Ryan. Her face blushed again when she saw this man's figure.

"My name is Ryan." Ryan then took his handkerchief and wiped the sweat on Valerie's face.

Oh my god how soft her skin was! Not to mention her soft cheeks and tiny lips, he wanted to taste them.

Valerie's face was getting redder because of Ryan's actions.

After finishing wiping her sweat, Ryan grabbed Valerie's hand and said with a flat face, "It's okay, I just don't like it when people humiliate a girl in public."

Valerie replied while blushing, "I still want to thank you for your actions. Nobody stood up for me before."

After that Valerie pulled Ryan closer to her and whispered, "Hey, give me your number so we can text every day." Ryan immediately smiled, this Valerie was also aggressive that he didn't have to bother asking for her number first.

After Valerie gave her cellphone's number she said, "If you are free and bored, you can call me anytime!"

After saying that, Valerie's face became very red. How could she say something ambiguous like that. Ryan was also stunned when he heard that. Wasn't this like saying 'Come over to my house anytime, I'm ready to play with you any time!'

Valerie felt that her words were completely ambiguous. She wanted to clarify it but in the end she decided to run away.

Ryan saw Valerie left while thinking that her nature was quite pleasant. An innocent girl who was confused between love and lust was adorable. This was very different from his wife Irina.

After she fled from Ryan with a pounding heart, Valerie realized that she only gave her number and didn't ask for Ryan's number. If this was the case, she was afraid that the man would not contact her and forgot about her. She then thought to herself, 'Will that man forget me?'

As soon as she thought that, her cell phone vibrated. It turned out that there was a message from an unknown number.

"Hey, it's me Ryan, you didn't write down my number earlier. Next time if you're free, I want to invite you to dinner together."

Seeing this message made Valerie smile widely.

...… ..

When he returned home, it was already 4 PM. The old maid Susan was not seen at home, so she must be shopping for dinner.

Taking advantage of the quiet situation, Ryan went straight to his room and turned on his computer. He immediately contacted Yasmin. The scantily clad Yasmin immediately appeared on her computer screen.

"How are things there?" Ryan wasn't in the mood for small talk.

When she heard that, Yasmin's body trembled slightly, "Sir, there's no need to worry, our new base has begun to be rebuilt. The location of the base is only known to me and my people so no one else knows of this location."

Ryan nodded in satisfaction. The construction of this headquarters also played an important role. Without the X potion, it was extremely difficult for him to endure his mysterious power. Even with Christa's help, it only lasted 10 days provided she couldn't use her inner strength too much. If the people who were hiding in the darkness came out, he could not fight back.

"Good then, if there is anything please let me know."

"If you don't need to worry. I'll concoct your X potion in a month." Yasmin said with a serious face, "I also sent some of my own to investigate the Eclipse and the Tiger. But I still haven't heard from them."

"It's hard for you to find their headquarters and where they are." Said Ryan. "You don't have to bother with those two, leave them to me!"

When he said this, Ryan's killing aura leaked out a little. Even though there was a possibility that the Eclipse he killed was fake, and if the real one came out or the real mastermind came out too, he wouldn't be frightened by all of them. Nobody could hide under Nergal's gaze!

After finishing his conversation with Yasmin, Ryan started to think again about his problems. There was no doubt that something had encouraged the Eclipse and Tiger to betray him but what troubled him the most was how could they find him so fast?

Only a few days after he arrived in the City of Avalerion, Igor Suhov managed to find him. Did Eclipse and Tiger take advantage of the Italian mafia? Ryan didn't believe that. How could members of the 12 Aesirs be tracked down so easily by a bunch of skippers? If they only relied on the mafia, it'd be hard to believe.

After thinking about this, Ryan took his cellphone and summoned Golge.

"Nergal the God of War!"

"Good evening sir!" Golge replied.

"How about your investigation?"

"My subordinates have confirmed that the Eclipse has died."

Died?

Ryan's face wrinkled when he heard this.

"Sir, your laboratory has been destroyed by Igor Suhov, the Eclipse and the Tiger." Golge calmly explained, "I knew that the Eclipse was in America and I chased it all the way to Europe, but when I was in France I lost track of it. Then I found out that he was in Crimea."

Ryan's face shrank even more hearing that. So the Eclipse that he killed turned out to be real?

"Golge, do you know that I killed the Eclipse that day?" Ryan said hesitantly.

"If master said that, surely the Eclipse has died." Golge said, "My intelligence report did not mention the existence and news of the Eclipse for a long time."

This time, Ryan was confused. Was the person he killed earlier the real Eclipse? Why did he feel that that person was a fake? This doubt was not without unfounded reasons. It was an instinct, an instinct he'd been honing over the years that had earned him the name Nergal.

But Ryan believed in Golge's abilities. Golge's intelligence reports never gave the wrong information. If she said that his opponent died, that person must be dead. Nergal's success in surviving to this day was also thanks to the information gathered by Golge.

It could be said that Golge was his eyes and ears all over the world!

"Keep an eye on this problem and don't be careless." Ryan said.

"Yes sir!"

After closing their conversation, Ryan was still confused. So his guess was wrong all this time? Impossible! So far, his instincts had never deceived him. The person he killed that night was definitely not Eclipse.

So where did the key to this problem lie?
