There was no fear. Skylar didn't feel threatened at all. The gun's muzzle pressed against the back of his head, ready to fire a bullet that would pierce his skull and kill him instantly. Yet that didn’t worry him in the least. He was certain that it was not his time to die.The man behind him gripped his arm tightly and dragged him into one of the rooms down the hallway. The sound of the door slamming shut echoed through the room. Only then could Skylar see who had ambushed him.A man. Tall, with broad, muscular shoulders. He wore tight-fitting all-black clothing over a bulletproof vest. The man was also wearing a black balaclava to cover his face.His eyes. They were identical to those Skylar recognized. The same eyes as Aslan’s. He didn’t need to guess who this man was—he already knew.“Allen Kennedy.”Allen immediately pulled back the balaclava he was wearing, exposing his face to Skylar. Several bruises covered his jaw, turning blue."Of course it's you. What’s wrong with your fac

For some time now, the informant and his men have been diligently gathering all available information about Kennedy and Kanoichi. They collected every piece of data, even the most trivial details, as a precaution.The informant discovered one suspicious activity among all the information successfully obtained regarding Kennedy and Kanoichi’s movements. This activity occurred after the last meeting between Aaron and Hinata at Rosat headquarters that night.The informant tried several times to hack into Kennedy’s private server. However, the server’s security was so robust that it was difficult to break through. Skylar wouldn’t have continued working with him if he had given up after failing. The informant persisted and managed to obtain some shipping data. Two giant container ships were set to arrive at the dock around midnight. The ships were listed as carrying Kennedy’s furniture, but they were actually carrying illegal weapons and bombs.The two ships were escorted by about forty of

The idea that Allen Kennedy was in the basement of the Rosat headquarters was impossible. Why? Why would he be there? Haruki wasn’t allowed to go there while staying at Rosat, but he knew it wasn’t a place for Allen. So why was he there?“Why?” Haruki asked.William remained silent, but his eyes darted about unnaturally. He was clearly on edge."Tell me, why was Allen there? Do you have prisoners in the basement? A captured Phantom member, perhaps? Was Allen conducting an interrogation?”The questions poured out of Haruki’s mouth. William didn’t need to answer them all because Haruki knew that Allen shouldn’t have been doing that himself. He had plenty of competent subordinates. Why would he bother handling a prisoner and interrogating him himself?“Are you mute now?”William blinked. “Huh?”"Oh, you can still talk. Answer my question, damn it!"William remained silent, wearing down Haruki’s patience even further. Was it that hard to answer his question? He was only asking why Allen w

Begging. Aslan had never done that in his entire life, at least not for anyone else. He couldn’t even remember the last time he’d begged for himself. Was it a while back, when his father finally returned and turned him into a prisoner forced to undergo torturous treatment? Or perhaps years ago, when his father first declared that Aslan was a broken child who needed to be fixed to become a true alpha?Aslan had never really cared about anyone else. The only thing that mattered in this world was himself. Besides, why should he care about others when they’d never cared about him either? He just wanted to live for himself.But now, he was begging? Begging for Allen not to be killed?Sure, his older brother had always shown concern for him, or at least that’s what Allen often said. That he cared about Aslan. That he was looking out for Aslan. But was that real? Well, Aslan didn’t know, and he didn’t really care anyway.It’s just that Aslan never really took all the attention Allen gave him

"Aslan, what's wrong? Are you in pain?”Aslan remained silent. He was crying, but there were no sobs. His expression was simply blank. The only indication that he was crying was the tears streaming down his face.Seeing Aslan like that clearly made Skylar very worried."You're okay, Aslan. I promise you're okay. Please don’t cry.”Skylar tightened his embrace, pulling the young man’s body completely into his arms. He could feel Aslan’s tears streaming down his chest, which was still bare.“You’re safe now. I’ll make sure of it.”Unfortunately, Aslan still didn’t say a word, which made Skylar anxious. He wanted to call Dr. Brandon Kim immediately to have Aslan examined, but he also didn’t want to leave Aslan’s side.In his embrace, Skylar felt Aslan’s body tremble slightly. For some reason, Aslan felt so fragile that if Skylar didn’t treat him gently and take care of him, he would surely fall apart.After holding Aslan for a while, Skylar loosened his embrace slightly. He looked down a

Aslan’s rescue mission was clearly not over just because Skylar had managed to get him out of the facility. Previously, Skylar’s informant had arranged a safe house for them after they successfully got Aslan out. It wasn’t just Aslan who was rescued; the doctors working for Aaron Kennedy were also saved.For the time being, the doctors were asked to remain vigilant and keep a low profile. Several Phantom members were also guarding them until the situation was completely safe.Meanwhile, Dr. Brandon Kim joined Skylar and Aslan to stay temporarily at the safe house. If Aaron Kennedy wanted to kill the doctors involved in the project at that facility, Dr. Brandon Kim would undoubtedly be the first target. So, of course, Dr. Brandon Kim couldn’t return to his family at this time.The safe house was located in a remote area, far from the city and also far from residential areas. The informant himself had prepared the place so that Skylar and Aslan could hide safely.For some unexplained re

It was really scary. By the time Angie and Rai got to the hospital, it was heavily guarded by the police. Rai immediately showed his detective badge to be let in, but Angie was immediately detained. Unauthorized people were not allowed in."Wait, she's with me." Rai interrupted.The guard frowned in surprise. "But, Mr. Kelleher. Isn't she a journalist?"Rai smiled. "No problem. She won't be recording anything. The deceased was a close friend of hers, so she came to see him. Besides, she was also involved in the riot at the club the night before."Hearing Rai's explanation, the policemen on duty inevitably allowed Angie to come in and see Arok's body, which was being handled by the forensics team.Rai soon met up with his detective partner. They discussed something. As for Angie, she saw Arok's body still lying on his bed, in a very bad condition.Angie's breath caught. Her chest felt tight. She was used to seeing death in an unnatural way. Her journey as an eccentric and controversial

The next day, Angie woke up with a terrible headache. Some of the bruises on her body were starting to hurt. She quickly searched for her phone. She had not sent Rai a message last night. Her best friend must be worried.Just as Angie was reaching for her phone, she suddenly remembered something. The clock on her phone read seven minutes past five. It was still quite early."Where's Maxime?"Angie got up from Maxime's bed and went out of the room to look for him. But there was no sign of Maxime."Huh? Where's Maxime? Did he leave?"Angie looked in the kitchen and even the bathroom, but Maxime was nowhere to be found."Max? Are you out there?"Angie tried to call, but there was no answer. That meant it was true, Maxime was not home.Angie snorted quietly. "How could he leave without telling me?"Angie went into the kitchen to get some water and found a bowl of tomato soup and some slices of bread on the dining room table. A small piece of handwritten paper was tucked under the bowl of

Angie looked at Maxime. They sat facing each other. Honestly, Angie had been waiting for this for a long time. She needed information. It had been a long time since she had followed Maxime to get information about the Wolf Gang, but instead of information she had gotten dangerous incidents."Max, you said we should work together, but so far I haven't felt the cooperation you meant?"Angie looked at Maxime. She was staying at his house for now. Maxime said that once Angie was involved with the Wolf Gang men, she would be hunted forever."I'm thinking of canceling our deal," he said.Angie's eyes widened. "What? What do you mean, don't decide so unilaterally!"Maxime looked at Angie. The woman's face was full of anger. Just a short time ago, she almost died because she was trapped together with the Wolf Gang men, and now Angie still wanted to find information about the organization?"I am not. I'm just thinking about your safety."Angie chuckled. "No need. I can take care of myself!""O

Angie looked up, and as the Wolf Gang man's body collapsed, she saw Maxime and Rai running toward her.Rai immediately hugged Angie. "Oh my God, what are you doing Angie? Are you hurt? Did they hurt you?"Rai's questions were too much, but Angie did not seem to have the energy to answer them. Angie's gaze shifted to Maxime, who was standing near the body of the Wolf Gang man. Maxime's expression did not change at all. As if shooting someone was no problem at all.Maxime looked at Angie and their eyes met. Neither spoke to the other. Angie had no idea what he was thinking. The look in Maxime's eyes was always mysterious. Ah, everything about this man was always mysterious. Angie just realized that she knew nothing about him."Angie, hey!"Angie blinked. Rai's hands cupped her cheeks. Her best friend's face was worried. Angie felt guilty."Are you really not hurt?" asked Rai.Angie shook her head. "I'm fine."Rai breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank God. I thought something had happened to

"You have to come with us."Angie backed away. One of the Wolf Gang members grabbed Petal's hair, who was cowering in fear, and wrapped her arms around Angie."Aaaaaah...!" Petal screamed. She was forced to walk with her hair violently pulled. The Wolf Gang man casually kicked Petal in the back until she bounced off and hit the wall of the nightclub."What are you doing, asshole!"Angie growled angrily as she saw Petal's forehead bleeding from the impact. Unfortunately, Angie's anger was no match for him. Instead, the Wolf Gang man burst out laughing as if he was very pleased to see Angie angry."I'll say it again, come with us."Angie shook her head and spat in front of the man. "I'm not going with you.""Don't be so arrogant. You're just a lowly journalist. The Wolf Gang can kill you at any time."Angie grinned. She knew that the threat was no joke, especially coming from a member of the Wolf Gang. There had been many mysterious deaths over the years, suspected to be the crimes of W

Angie swallowed her own saliva. No, it was nothing. A lot of people knew about her and it meant nothing. She's a journalist, it's only natural that other people know about her.Angie smiled, trying to erase the nervousness inside her. "Oh, so you know about me? How come?"The man grinned. "How could I not know. Your name is at the top of the list as someone who needs to be eliminated immediately."Angie widened her eyes. "W-What? What are you saying?"Angie's hand was suddenly gripped tightly. She tried to pull her hand out of the man's grip, but to no avail."What are you doing, damn it! Let go of me."The man's grin widened. "Why? Are you afraid?""Y-You..."Angie turned her head and looked at Arok, who was in an equally bad position. He was pinned down on the sofa. One of the Wolf Gang members had a choke hold on his neck."Shit! I was trapped."Angie quietly reached for the pen she always kept in her shirt pocket, then quickly jabbed it into the back of the man's hand."Argh! Fuck
