Of course!

His real target was not the mummy but to use it to divert people’s attention.

At the same time, he would use the mummy as a cover to bring the RA-3 virus back to the country.

At Lundi Airport.

Bruce and the others got off the plane.

“Mr. Everett, the cars have been arranged. Let’s go back to Izaberg villa.”

“Got it,” Bruce responded with some unease.

Izaberg villa was his residence in Lundi.

He had residences in first-tier cities around the world. He rarely stayed in hotels but in Izaberg villa when he came to Lundi on a business trip every time.

When they had just walked out of the VIP passage, a clear and familiar female voice sounded.

“Bruce… Here, here…” Aria was already waiting at the exit and waving at him.

“Aria, why are you here?” asked Bruce, stunned.

Aria was in another city. Bruce didn’t expect her to come here specifically to pick him up.

Aria smiled sweetly at him and said gently, “I know you’ll be here today, so I came to pick you up!”

Bruce subconsciously frowned when he heard Aria’s words.

“You don’t have to pick me up,” said Bruce. “I know Lundi like the back of my hand. It’s a couple of hours’ drive from Eighcaster. It’s too much trouble for you.”

“It’s not troublesome. It’s better for me to pick you up personally. I just have a few more things to talk to you about.”

“Then let’s go!” Bruce braced himself and replied.

“Yes!” Aria replied weakly and followed him to the parking lot.

Darcy looked even more depressed and unhappy when he saw Aria.

He had a good impression of Joanna. He sincerely hoped that Bruce and Joanna would be happily together.

In particular, Bruce and Joanna had given birth to four children. Anyone who saw them would hope that they could live happily ever after.

However, Aria’s appearance broke the harmony.

Darcy was annoyed by this kind of woman who knew what was good for her and deliberately destroyed other people’s feelings.

Hence, Darcy had a dark expression the entire time and could not stand her!

However, he did not dare to say anything. He could only watch silently as Aria followed behind Bruce.

In the parking lot.

There were already a few luxury cars parked here. The drivers were all waiting by the car doors.

“Get in the car, please!”

“Thank you.”

Bruce was still uneasy with a grim face after getting into the car.

Aria peeked at him from time to time.

“Bruce, are you nervous?” asked Aria.

Bruce shook his head sadly and said, “No…”

Aria paused for a few seconds and couldn’t help but ask carefully, “Well… how are you and your wife? Are you guys back together?

“I saw on the news that you transferred many assets into her name. I heard that the girls in the country are more realistic. She definitely won’t be angry with you anymore.”

In other words, most girls in the country valued money, and Joanna was no exception.

Now that Bruce had given Joanna so much money, how could she still be mad?

Bruce was speechless. His expression became even gloomier, and he did not answer Aria’s question.

Bruce would not have to worry so much if he could solve it with money.

However, the problem was that Joanna was not such a materialistic person. Bruce would be much less worried if she were.

But then again.

If Joanna were a greedy woman who valued his money, he probably wouldn’t love her either!

They arrived at Izaberg villa an hour later.

“Mr. Everett, we’re here.”

“Let’s get out of the car.”

Bruce opened the car door for Aria like a gentleman.

It was a traditional castle built in the last century.

It covered a large area, and there was a manor inside. It did not give a sense of antiquity and was very luxurious even though it was built many years ago.

Walking in it was like walking into a dream castle.

There were also the butler and the servants in it.

In the past, Bruce would come here two or three times a year. But he hadn’t been back here in more than a year since the accident.

“Welcome home, Mr. Everett.” The Antlenish butler greeted them very gentlemanly in Antlenish.

A row of servants also bowed in greeting.

Bruce nodded slightly and walked into the castle.

Aria followed him.

As they walked…

Aria suddenly staggered and fell forward unsteadily.

Bruce was quick to react and held her up. “Aria, what’s wrong?”

“I’m fine. My head is a little dizzy…” Aria weakly fell into his arms. Her face was pale.

“I’ll send you to the hospital right now. You can’t delay any longer In your current situation,” Bruce said.

“No. I can still hold on.

“I’ve said I can only treat my illness peacefully until the mission is completed.

“I’m okay. You don’t have to worry…” Aria struggled to stand firm as she spoke.

However, she was weak and powerless. Instead, she slipped and fell to the ground.

Seeing her like that, Bruce hesitated for a few seconds before carrying her up. “I’ll send you to the hospital first.”

“Bruce, you can’t… Listen to me. I really can’t go to the hospital now. If the organization finds out about my illness, it will surely make me leave. I must wait until I have completed the mission before going to the hospital.”

Bruce didn’t know how to persuade her.

“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely get the virus back to the country as soon as possible,” said Bruce.

Aria smiled gently at him and said, “Yes. I believe in your ability.”

“By the way, what did you say on the phone the organization wants us to do?” asked Bruce.

Aria’s cheeks burned when she heard Bruce. She looked at him uneasily and said, “Bruce… The organization said…”

“Said what?”

“The organization said that they hope we can be the husband and wife partners because my current identity is quite unique and will attract the attention of the relevant authorities.

“If you contact me, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of outsiders.

“Only by pretending to be the lovers or husband and wife will our contact be legitimate. It will also dispel the suspicion of

others.”

“What?” Bruce asked, looking even more surprised at Aria.

Seeing his solemn expression, Aria hurriedly added, “Of course, it is the organization’s suggestion. It didn’t force us to do

so.”

Bruce’s eyes darkened, and he looked depressed. “It is not necessary.”

“Bruce, it is just a suggestion of the organization!

“It’s also better to hide your identity and not mix in other factors. Even if we appear as husband and wife, it’s only to complete the mission.

“It is just a show for outsiders and not real.”

“No, absolutely not. Not even if it’s fake.” Bruce refused without hesitation.

If Bruce and Aria pretended to be husband and wife,

Joanna would probably believe it if she knew about it.

By the time Bruce settled everything, it would be impossible for him to reconcile with Joanna.

Moreover, Joanna had never trusted Bruce. Even if Bruce told her that he and Aria were pretending to be a couple, Joanna would absolutely not believe him.

It was better not to cause such trouble.

“Bruce, are you afraid that your wife won’t agree and will misunderstand you?

“You can explain it to him. It’s a fake.

“Your wife will understand you!”

Bruce’s expression was gloomy and said, “Don’t say another word. Absolutely not.”

Aria still tried her best to persuade Bruce. “Bruce, the organization is doing this for your safety.

“I’m also doing this for your safety. Don’t worry. I’ll personally explain everything to your wife later.

“I’m not gonna ruin your relationship with your wife.”

Bruce was even more upset when he heard that. “There’s no need for that.

“I’ll bring the virus back to the country. I don’t need anyone’s help.”

“Bruce… Can you not be so stubborn? Don’t underestimate the surveillance cameras of the World Bureau of Special Affairs!

“You must know that you’re in the most dangerous industry now! Any hint of it will bring about a huge disaster.

“I’m now an academician of Antlen’s top research institute. If we connect in private, it will definitely arouse suspicion.

‘We can only do better by pretending to be a couple. Of course! It’s only temporary.

“After the virus is shipped back to the country and the mission is completed, we can pretend to break up.”

Bruce still refused. “I said no!

“All you need to do now is provide me with information about the RA-3 virus and the source of the goods. You don’t have to worry about the others.”

“Bruce, things are not as simple as you think.

“The virus has to be brought out from the gene bank first. It has to be sealed and dry-frozen. And it’s not so easy to carry. You might have to stay for a month or two. For such a long time, if there’s no suitable name, I’m afraid…
