Chapter 434 - Cobra

"20 seconds," Arthur said out of the blue.

Felix and Daniel looked at him with a confused look.

"What?" Felix asked.

Arthur looked at them and said, "20 seconds. It only took 20 seconds to rescue 60 street vagrants and take 2 of their guards." He said with a serious expression.

From then, Daniel already guessed what he meant while Felix took a couple of seconds before his eyes widened into realization.

"Damn! You are one of them! You are among the team that robs the Novus Rex with millions of dollars?!" Felix exclaimed. He sounds either confirming or questioning. Yes, Arthur was one of them. In fact, he was the one with an alias of Cobra. Every member of the Robin Hood Society has to pick an alias but those aliases will be used only during a mission. And Arthur chose the alias Cobra.

"So, that's why you take a two-days off. Does Miss J know about this?" Daniel asked.

"We never told her. But I guess she already had an idea."

"We?" Felix became more confused.

Arthur looked at Felix. "Dr. Jacob. He told me to personally supervise that mission. He wants at least one of us to be part of every mission that concerns the Novus Rex."

"So, this is just one of the many missions against Novus Rex?" Daniel said and Arthur nodded his head.

"Wow. The negotiation hasn't started yet but Boss is being dominant, relentless and unforgiving already. He is madly in love with Miss J I must say." Felix commented looking at J's direction.

The three of them watched J's shooting lesson. Felix's eyes narrowed when he noticed Stefan smiled at J, his smile is something that he would do when he is flirting. "Damn it! Is he flirting with Miss J?"

"Who's flirting?" Jacob said from behind. Felix stood frozen. Damn! Why do I always blurting out words that would put me into my grave?

Jacob walked towards them and watched J and Stefan. "Is he flirting with my wife?"

"No! Ha-ha! Of course not. Why would he? It's beyond his principles. Stefan is just being friendly." Felix said with a tight smile. He was just over analyzing things.

Jacob stood on their side with his hands in his pocket.

"Congratulations on your mission," Jacob said with a smile to Arthur.

"Thank you," Arthur replied.

Then Jacob looked at Daniel. "You will be supervising the next mission regarding Novus Rex. Until then, focus on your mission with Jenny's necklace."

"Mm…" Daniel replied with a nod.

Then Jacob took out his phone from his pocket and called James. "Reserve a table for us in the cafeteria." The Twelve Army headquarters has a cafeteria the serves good dishes that could match up those being served in a restaurant. The chefs there cook dishes that are specifically high in protein and low in sodium and sugar.

After an hour, Jacob and J were now sitting in a table inside the cafeteria with Arthur's team. Jacob is enjoying his steak with skillet tomatoes and spicy sautéed green beans when J raised her head and asked. "Were you trying to overthrow the Novus Rex?"

Jacob looked at his wife. He was not surprised at all with her question. He knew that one of these days she would ask this question but he does not expect it to be this soon. "Honey, are you making assumptions?"

J raised her brow and replied, "No," nonchalantly. Then she pierced a piece of potato from her pesto pasta with a fork. J is not the type of person to make assumptions. She has already analyzed the events that took place this couple of days and she was sure that whatever that is happening in Novus Rex, Jacob is the one to blame.
