Chapter 830 - 539: Mechanism City [09] Clement Winter Has Been Kidnapped (2)

Nora Scott also thought of this point, "Perhaps."

By this logic, "Silver Master" might be linked to Mechanism City (Loulan Plan). However, she was sure she hadn’t come into contact with any Loulan Plan, but if she inferred based on her inheritance of Antonio Easton’s mechanical techniques, then it was highly likely that Antonio Easton was connected to the Loulan Plan...

Clarence was one of the engineers of the Loulan Plan.

Antonio Easton also worked as an engineer, so, could it be that...

Nora Scott narrowed her eyes.

Pedro Langley quickly made connections, his expression growing more serious.

If Antonio Easton... the blueprints mentioned in the video... then the "dowry of Nora Scott" that Antonio Easton gave him...

Pedro Langley glanced at Nora Scott, his gaze deepening.

"..."

Even though they said nothing, Benjamin Durant felt excluded, his mood was extremely subtle.

The police arrived late in the afternoon, and after understanding the situation, they took them away rather perfunctorily. It wasn’t until Nora Scott made another call and submitted photographs taken by Oliver Scott to the police as evidence that they began to take the matter seriously.

The three followed to the police station.

Afterward, they headed straight to the hospital.

Clarence had suffered a lot, with multiple fractures all over his body, but at least he survived. When Nora Scott arrived, he was lying half-dead on the bed recovering, groaning as he directed Oliver Scott to feed him porridge.

As Nora Scott entered the room, Clarence felt a chill and shivered instinctively.

Looking at Oliver Scott holding a bowl of porridge, Nora Scott frowned and asked, "Not catching your flight?"

"I missed it," Oliver Scott explained, "I’ve taken leave from school."

Nora Scott acknowledged with a simple "Hmm."

Marcus Shaw stood by the side, called her "sis," then reverted to his indifferent demeanor.

Benjamin Durant and Pedro Langley entered next; Benjamin was relegated to guard duty at the door, while Pedro casually closed it behind them.

The atmosphere in the hospital room suddenly transformed, becoming tense and stern, even suffocating.

"Do you want to save your life, or keep secrets?" Nora Scott stood by the bed, looking down with cold eyes at Clarence.

Clarence: "..." Felt like he just escaped the wolf’s den, into the tiger’s mouth.

A law-abiding, moral girl wouldn’t normally confront a severely injured old man with such a difficult question instead of offering comfort!

After a few seconds, Nora Scott grew a bit impatient, furrowing her brows, and stated directly, "We are all good citizens and won’t harm you, and can ensure your safety. But with those people from the morning, that might not be the case."

Clarence hesitated and stuttered, "What do you want to know?"

Pedro Langley brought over a chair, placing it behind Nora Scott.

Nora Scott sat down casually, crossed her legs, rested her elbow on the chair back, lazily looking up, "I’m not interested in you, just want to know, what are they after from you?"

"..."

Clarence felt this was the same question, sensing she wanted more information, but given her intimidating demeanor, he was too frightened to refute.

Having survived a brush with death, Clarence viewed many things differently now. He pondered for a while and ultimately sighed heavily.

He said, "They want to find Mechanism City."

"Reason."

Nora Scott asked concisely.

"Don’t know," Clarence replied, "It’s a confidential project. We’re only responsible for building Mechanism City, and my team and I know only a small part of it."

This was common knowledge, and Nora Scott didn’t think he was lying.

The core details would be in the hands of one person.

In some secret projects, even participants may not know what they’re truly working on from start to finish.

Clarence continued, "The address they asked about, I don’t know. We only know it’s near the Loulan ruins. The camp location is some distance from the actual place."

"As for those people from this morning..." Clarence paused, "I don’t know where they came from."

Nora Scott sneered, "They almost killed you, and you don’t know anything?"

Licking his dry lips, Clarence explained, "I know someone is looking for us, especially the chief designer of the blueprints from back then, intending to find the location of Mechanism City and restart it."

"What’s inside Mechanism City?"

"Unknown."

"..."

Nora Scott was boiling with frustration.

He knew nothing at all.

Expected him to be a key figure, but he couldn’t be counted as even a go-between.

Pedro Langley lowered his eyes to look at Nora Scott, sensing her rising anger, he raised a hand to her shoulder indicating her to stay calm and then lowered his thin eyelids, coldly watching Clarence.

"..."

Clarence was startled by their subdued aura once more.

"How do you know someone is looking for you?" Pedro Langley asked calmly.
