Upon hearing this, Vera Williams's eyes showed a trace of confusion. She knew the nature of a special agent's work at the X Bureau.
That's why she was puzzled about what her connection to the X Bureau might be.
But it didn't seem to matter much to her, and she addressed the group of guards, "Uncle Sam, you go get your wound treated first. Everyone else, please leave."
"Yes, Miss."
The crowd complied and left.
At that moment, the three X Bureau agents looked at Leonard Churchill, who still remained in the room, and the team leader in black repeated, "This one..."
Vera Williams promptly said, "He's a trusted friend of mine. You don't need to avoid any issues on my account, no matter what you ask."
Leonard Churchill wasn't thick-skinned enough to stay just to eavesdrop on any business secrets; instead, his intuition told him that these X Bureau folks had information he was interested in.
