"Go on," Tobias said, his eyes narrowing slightly.
"Well, just now..." Devin recounted the event earlier in detail.
"So, you're saying that this guy, Frank, used the Overlord Blow? The same move that Joel is famous for?" Tobias asked.
Devin nodded emphatically. "Honestly, I've studied martial arts for years, and I've never seen anyone execute Joel's Overlord Blow with such precision. He said he might have a natural talent for it, and I guess that's possible, but something about it just doesn't sit right with me."
"What exactly are you suspicious of?" Tobias had already sensed there was something off about Frank.
Devin frowned, looking troubled. "I think he might have something to do with Joel."
"Honestly, I thought you were about to say he might be Joel pretending to be someone else," Tobias said.
"Boss, seriously, when I saw Frank pull off the Overlord Blow, for a split second, I really thought he was Joel. But then I snapped out of it. There's no way. Joel is Dr. Bennett's number one bodyguard. He wouldn't just show up here."
Tobias nodded. "You're right about your analysis, but this Frank guy... there's just something off about him."
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Really dig into his background. Be thorough."
"That's exactly what I was thinking," Devin replied.
"Keep it under the radar. Make sure no one notices," Tobias reminded him.
"No problem, boss. You can count on me," Devin said confidently.
In the next room, Kaia and Joel stood facing each other.
"You used the Overlord Blow in front of Devin?" Kaia asked, her brow furrowing slightly.
Joel nodded. "It was an emergency. I just acted on instinct."
"From what I know, Devin is your die-hard fan. Didn't he get suspicious?" Kaia asked.
"He did, but I played it off. Told him I just have a knack for it, like I was born to pull off the Overlord Blow," Joel replied.
"And he believed you?" Kaia asked.
Joel frowned. "Pretty sure he did."
Kaia rubbed her chin. "Don't let Devin's carefree vibe fool you. Anyone who sticks close to Tobias isn't some dummy. Plus, Devin is Tobias's trusted guy."
"So you mean, even if he didn't say anything, he's still got his doubts about me?" Joel asked.
"Definitely," Kaia replied, sounding sure. "Odds are, Devin already told Tobias about it. And knowing Tobias, he'll have Devin look into you on the sly. By the way, how'd you set up this Frank persona? Is it airtight, or can they dig up your real info?"
"Don't worry. I had someone set up my new identity. It's airtight. No way anyone's tracing it back to me," Joel said, patting his chest with confidence.
"If it were anyone else, I wouldn't be concerned. But Tobias..." Kaia's eyes drifted to the wall connecting to the next room, and that sharp, clever look of his flashed through her mind.
"He's not just smart. He's got real skills," she added.
"So you think Tobias could sniff something out?" Joel asked.
"Yeah," Kaia said, turning to Joel. "But leave it to me. I'll get someone to clean this up and make sure nothing gets out."
Joel was curious. "Who are you planning to reach out to? Who could have the skills to keep Tobias in the dark?"
"The SR Alliance," Kaia replied.
Joel's eyes widened. "You know someone high up in the SR Alliance?"
The SR Alliance was the most elite task organization in the world, bringing together top talent from every country. Their success rate was off the charts.
There was no job they couldn't handle, as long as the money was right.
"I don't really know the higher-ups at SR Alliance, but I'm actually on good terms with the boss—the one at the very top," Kaia said, her tone casual.
"Well, just now..." Devin recounted the event earlier in detail.
