Chapter 224 - The other friend

"Or will she ever get involve with them." President Martin's voice was firm.

"But I know someone who might have known them." President Martin continued then suddenly paused and looked at Jacob with a grim expression.

After hearing that, Jacob cocked his head and looked at him with curiosity.

"Years ago, even before the Robin Hood Society was founded by my father, he has a close friend. One of them is your grandfather, Benjamin Parker and the other one is Jack Ogden." Jacob raised his eyebrows upon hearing an unfamiliar name.

"Jack Ogden wanted to start an organization with your grandfather and my father but they refused to join him knowing how he has been involved with illegal businesses.

"They even persuade Jack Ogden to stop his illegal business. He is such a great mind when it comes to business so it was such a waste that he used it in illegal dealings. Later on, Jack Ogden founded Novus Rex on his own. It was followed by the Robin Hood Society founded by my father, then The Twelve Army founded by your grandfather. Since then, he never showed up to your grandfather and my father and I don't know if they ever crossed each other all these years."

"I'm not even sure if he is still alive, but I am pretty sure that the organization is still active until now. They've even expanded in the near country." President Martin continues.

"Why would you think that Novus Rex might have something to do with my daughter's threats?" after a couple of seconds of silence, President Martin asked.

Jacob glanced at the dark forest. "I found the person who sends the threat and is in the Twelve Army's custody. He is a member of Novus Rex."

President Martin's expression turned grim. "Is that so?" his voice was filled with worry for his daughter.

"I'll make sure to get to the bottom of this. They'll never get their hands on my wife as long as I live." Jacob said with a clenched jaw. There was an evil intent in his eyes.

"I know." President Martin was full of confidence towards his son-in-law.

"I'll have someone watch over Novus Rex activity. It is a must that every member of the Society could tell who is a member of Novus Rex, but they should not know about us. So, it was easier to watch over them."

After their private talk, they returned inside the log house. They chatted for a while then Jacob decided that it was time for them to leave. J didn't want to leave yet but President Martin and Madam Victoria insisted that they should leave and have to come back again some other time.

Leo escorted them out of the log house while Peter stayed with President Martin and Madam Victoria.

Before they could get inside Jacob's SUV, they heard Leo ask. "How's Diana?" Although he didn't mention it, it is clear that the question is directed towards Jacob.

"She's quite impressive with espionage. But I might have to pull her out soon." Jacob replied making Leo feel relieved.

"Did something happen?" J asked.

"Nothing. It's just that, the possibility of Food Corp.'s involvement in this is getting smaller." Jacob thought that they must focus more of their attention at Novus Rex. His instinct tells him that they have something to do with J's threat thou they haven't find any evidence yet.
