CH138 Promise to Usurp

"Secret organisation?" Earl Drake raised an eyebrow.
With a dismissive wave of his hand, the oppressive pressure bearing down on Alex and Udara vanished.
"Huh? You didn't know?" Alex feigned surprise, tone light.
He calmly placed both the secret communication scroll and the Rune Phone on the nearby table.
"Joselin used the scroll to communicate with the Holt family—of that, I have no doubt. But if that were all, why would she need this phone? Her regular phone or the scroll would've sufficed."
He gestured at the device.
"This leads me to believe the Rune Phone was used to communicate with someone else."
"I checked the call log. She only ever used this device to contact one number. And I strongly suspect it won't lead back to the Holts."
Drake's eyes narrowed.
"How were you able to access the call log?" he asked, tone even—but probing.
Alex didn't blink. "She didn't set a password or biometric lock. For whatever reason, it was open."
