The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 871

Atlas was caught off guard when he spotted Nick in the living room, but he quickly approached Grady. "Grady, the security team headed to the Northside branch. They've asked to see you."

Grady's fingers paused on the wooden beads wrapped around his wrist. He looked at Atlas, squinting slightly, "The security team wants to butt in too?"

"Looks like it. According to our guys, the authorities brought a bunch of people, and they're all armed," Atlas reported quickly, his voice calm and steady.

Grady rolled his neck and stood up from his chair. "Alright, let's go meet them."

Atlas nodded and stepped aside.

Nick overheard their conversation and pondered for a moment before asking, "Should I come along?"

Grady raised his hand. "No need. You shouldn't show your face with the authorities around."

Nick thought about his position at the research institute and understood Grady's concern for his safety. He stayed quiet and didn't press the issue.

Soon, Grady and Atlas were on their way to the Northside branch.

When they arrived, they were met by a ring of stern, armed personnel, each with a gun at the ready, creating a tense atmosphere.

Atlas drove up to the gate, the dark muzzles of guns aimed directly at the car.

Atlas smirked slightly, showing no signs of being fazed, as if he was used to such scenes. Without getting out of the car, he rolled down the window and spoke to the guards outside.

Of course, the extent of these dealings depended on the country's control. As long as it didn't involve highly dangerous or special weapons, authorities often turned a blind eye.

No one wanted to cross the Bureau of Arms.

Andrew, with his square-jawed face and official demeanor, smirked slightly. "Mr. James, there's no need to bring the Bureau of Arms into this. I'm just doing my job. Whether you're involved in illegal sales needs to be clarified. Don't you think it's best to clear your name?"

James set down his coffee cup, still relaxed, not responding to Andrew's statement.

Seeing this, Andrew's eyes narrowed slightly, and he continued, "Do you think having Sam on your side means you can do whatever you want?"

At this, James finally lifted his head to look at Andrew, his dark eyes deep and cold. "Are you looking for trouble?"
