In the office of the leader of Operation Team Nine.
Ennis Hawkins held his communication tool, listening to Dean McKenzie's words.
He was stunned at that moment!
He did throw Dean into South Hill Base, but it was just to place him somewhere safe. He had no intention of getting Dean involved in any missions.
In his view, Dean was merely an outsider accidentally pulled into the situation.
If Dean was deeply entangled and couldn't get out, he would understand.
But Dean was just an Ordinary Template, basically worthless to that gang.
He had no reason, nor could he involve Dean in such dangerous affairs.
Even if giving up Dean as a clue made his task extremely challenging, he would not involve Dean.
That was his principle.
Unexpectedly, even though he didn't get Dean involved, Dean stumbled into it on his own.
He was so taken aback by what Dean said that it stunned him for a while.
