Though he tried hard to hide it, it was clear that Gray Hat was getting anxious.
After all, no matter how skilled he was at tailing someone, there was nothing he could do when his target simply got into a car and drove off.
And Taylor, on the other end of the communicator, was probably even more anxious than he was.
There was no way he could accept watching the Notebook get carried away right before his eyes.
In fact, Fu Qian really had brought the Abyss Notebook with him.
From Fu Qian's perspective, its contents were jumbled, but some of them were interesting enough to keep him entertained during the trip.
Besides, although Yuan Shan had confirmed that the Notebook could identify the "truth," Fu Qian wasn't in a hurry to write anything in it.
Gulad's people had possessed the Notebook for over a thousand years. There was no way to be sure they hadn't left some kind of safeguard behind.
Taylor's reaction hadn't given any indication of that, but it wasn't as if he necessarily knew everything.
If Fu Qian wrote down any personal information, there was no telling when it might be exposed.
Fu Qian silently enjoyed Gray Hat's reaction. It wasn't until the train was about to depart that the man finally made a move.
He hurried forward and squeezed through the half-closed train doors.
Taylor had clearly given him strict orders not to let Fu Qian out of his sight, no matter what.
Fu Qian shook his head, sensing just how determined Taylor was.
Once aboard, Gray Hat quickly regained his composure and returned to his earlier nonchalance.
Fu Qian didn't particularly care that he'd picked up a tail.
The man might be capable, but getting rid of him would still be a simple matter.
