Chapter 391 - The Mole

"By the way, honey, you already knew that Leo is with me last night. I didn't expect that Dad will send him to accompany me. And I noticed that Novus Rex particularly Alex Ogden is quite familiar with him?" Jacob asked J. Last night, he noticed the surprised and peculiar look that the men inside the private room that Alex Ogden rented out last night gave to Leo. And Alex Ogden even addressed him as Liam. He was sure that they were all acquainted with Leo.

J looked at Jacob. She definitely knew why would her father send Leo instead of another person. It is because if there is a person that knew Alex Ogden and the Novus Rex very well, that would be Leo himself. And her father was wise to send Leo to accompany Jacob last night.

"Hmm…Leo used to be a member of Novus Rex." J said nonchalantly.

"What?!"

Everyone raised their head and looked at her with the same surprised reaction.

J looked at their surprised reaction and realized what she just said. "Oh…I mean, years ago he was sent by the Society as a mole inside Novus Rex."

Then the five men nodded in understanding.

"All insider information that the Society knows about Novus Rex was from Leo. Even until now, we were still able to get information from them thru the bug and moles he planted inside. Up until now, Novus Rex is not aware that Leo was a mole."

"Novus Rex didn't find out or even suspected him?" Felix asked in amazement.

"No. He is an expert in espionage. When it comes to it, he is probably on top of the food chain." J replied and saw the glint of admiration from Felix's eyes whose forte lies on espionage as well.

"I wonder how did Leo manage not to get caught?" Stefan asked while sipping his coffee.

"He changed his name to Liam. He became one of the most trusted persons of Alex Ogden. He even managed to become Alex's assistant for a year before he left the group." Leo is a one-man team. He doesn't work with a team or partner. He always finishes his mission alone.

"Why would the Society plant a mole inside Novus Rex?" Jacob asked with suspicion.

J shrugged her shoulders. "It was my grandfather's order. He wanted to watch over Novus Rex. They've been doing that for a decade now."

"Why?" Jacob suddenly wonders. Does it have to do with what Alex Ogden said last night about what Elder Do promised Jack Ogden? This is something that he hasn't told J yet. He wanted to confirm what is that promise is. He plans to ask his father-in-law but he doubts if he knows anything about it. But at least it was worth a try. Actually, his grandfather must've known about it, but he wasn't making an appearance yet.

J shrugged her shoulders as she drinks her coffee. "No one knows. He just said that it is better to be prepared. He knew that Novus Rex is a very ambitious organization." Deep inside her, J has suspicions that it is not just because of that. Because, why would he send his best spy as a mole and waste a couple of years just to watch over an organization that doesn't even pose a threat back then? She knew that something is going on but she cannot pinpoint it that time.

And now that Novus Rex suddenly appeared and said that they want to take over Robin Hood Society by marrying Alex Ogden to her? And what's with that reclaiming that Alex Ogden is saying?
