Chapter 1051 The Situation Is Dangerous

Chloe felt a strange sensation inside her as she read the message. Since when was Vince so disrespectful? She was only acquainted with Vince because of Joseph. She and Vince had never met up on their own, but now he was asking her to look for him at Imperium? She did not reply to the text and decided to inform Joseph about this. After listening to what she said, Joseph frowned. "That's not Vince. Someone used his phone to message you." In other words, Vince was in danger. Chloe was taken aback. She was relieved that she had not rushed to meet him. Suddenly, Joseph's phone vibrated. It was a call from the person who had been tasked with looking into Bethany's recent activities. Feeling something was wrong, Joseph narrowed his eyes. "I have to take this call. I'll call you back later. Don't go anywhere and stay at the office. No matter who comes to you and persuades you to go with them for any reason, don't listen to them. Just wait for me there,” he instructed. Chloe realized the gravity of the situation. "What happened?" she asked. "Someone has infiltrated Imperium." Chloe's face turned pale. She stared at the message from Vince, then sent a reply. [Okay. I'll be there in a bit.] * Joseph's speculation was correct. "Sir, Bethany has been hanging around with Xavia since she was dismissed from Imperium. I'm currently hiding outside headquarters, and I see that Duskfall has surrounded the place. Even Vince has been caught,” the person whispered into the phone. Joseph's face sank. "What about those who were at the off-site training? Have they returned?" "Not yet. According to the schedule, they should be back soon. If they run into Duskfall..." There would be bloodshed. The training spanned three days and two nights, during which the participants were restricted from contacting the outside world. "Intercept them and tell them not to return to Imperium," Joseph ordered. "But Duskfall has taken over our home, sir." "Safety comes first. There's no need to risk your life. The greatest victory is you guys staying safe." After hanging up the call, Joseph immediately went to find Chloe, who was anxiously waiting for him at the entrance of her office. Soon, Joseph pulled up. Chloe's heart dropped to her stomach, and she threw herself into his arms. Joseph held her tightly. "Don't be scared." Chloe looked up at him and said, "I replied to the text and told him I was on my way. That should buy us some time." "You smart little ass," Joseph said as he affectionately tapped her nose. After a brief pause, his expression turned serious as he said, "I ordered three people to come and protect you. They'll stay with you until I return." The situation was dangerous, and he did not want her to take unnecessary risks. "No, I'm going with you. We'll face this together," Chloe said, staring at him determinately. She took his hand and continued, "We’ll go to Imperium together. Worse comes to worst, I’ll step in and distract Duskfall. They’ll think I haven’t noticed anything, and you can take advantage of the situation to make your move." Chloe was right. If they could lower Duskfall's defenses, it would be easier for them to enter Imperium’s inner sanctum and reach their weapons. After all, the members had not brought any weapons out with them. Joseph frowned at Chloe.
