Chapter 699

Penulis: Warm Cocoa
After a moment of consideration, Stellar admitted Percy might still be of some use.

In the end, she allowed him into the car.

They sped toward Westport, the atmosphere inside the vehicle cold and silent.

“Stellar, no matter what it takes, I’ll help you get that tech back,” Percy said, his voice firm beside her.

But she remained unmoved.

It wasn’t the first time he made grand promises.

She pressed harder on the accelerator, determined to close the distance, when heavy rain suddenly began to fall.

The downpour grew stronger by the minute.

Stellar’s expression darkened.

She glanced down at the tablet and frowned at the coordinates Joe had just sent.

“The signal is coming from a container at Dock No. 1.”

Something about it felt off.

Given how much time had passed, May could’ve easily fled the country by now.

Why arrange a transaction at the docks?

It didn’t add up—but there was no time to think it through.

They arrived at the port, rain pounding relentlessly against the windshield.

    “Percy, wake up! Are you okay?” Her voice trembled with urgency.Percy’s face was ashen, lips pale, but he slowly opened his eyes and reached a bloodied hand toward her. “Stellar… if I die this time, would you… would you forgive me?”“No.” Her answer was firm. “So don’t you dare die. It’s just a shoulder wound—I’m taking you to the hospital now.”Percy gave a bitter smile. “At a time like this, you won’t even lie to make me feel better?”“I hate lying. You want the truth? Then stay alive and earn it.”Trained in martial arts, Stellar managed to hoist him up with effort, half-carrying, half-dragging him through the rain toward the car.The chill of danger that had loomed moments earlier was gone.Whoever had fired the shot had vanished into the shadows.After securing Percy in the passenger seat, she floored the accelerator.Barely twenty minutes later, they arrived at the hospital.Stellar jumped out, yelling for help. Within moments, staff rushed out with a stretcher and wheeled P

    May pressed her lips tightly together. This time, no matter what was said, she refused to speak.“Enough. Let’s bring her back first,” Stellar said firmly.“Alright.” Percy nodded without hesitation.Each of them grabbed one of May’s arms, lifting her by the shoulders and escorting her out of the container.Outside, the downpour hadn’t let up. Rain battered the dock, but their waterproof gear offered enough protection for them to move forward.As they made their way toward the car, a sudden chill ran down Stellar’s spine. A murderous intent, sharp and cold, closed in from behind.“Watch out!”The moment she sensed danger, she instinctively yanked May to the side.A bullet struck the exact spot where May had been standing just a second ago.Had she reacted even a breath later, May would be dead.“Well, looks like someone’s here to silence you.” Stellar narrowed her eyes and let out a cold laugh, turning to May with a look of pity. “You went to all that trouble to protect your maste

    All that effort was gone. May had gone through so much to get her hands on this technology, so close to success, only to lose everything in the final moment.But the truth was, Stellar had never intended to recover the data.Her real goal from the start had been to destroy it.After all, the technology was stored in her mind. As long as she lived, it could be recreated at any time.May’s fury quickly gave way to cold composure.She suddenly let out a low, mocking laugh. “And you think you’ll live long enough to recreate it?”A chill crept through Stellar’s spine. Her worst fear was confirmed. “You’re going to kill me? If you’re just a corporate spy, why go this far? Who sent you? What did they offer you?”“You don’t need to know that.” May sneered. “You’re just unlucky. Take your questions to the grave.”She tightened her grip on the gun, finger slowly squeezing the trigger.At such close range, there was no room to dodge.Heart pounding, cold sweat beading on her forehead, Stellar

    "Alright."Ending the call, Stellar walked back over to Percy, pulling out her phone. "Send me May Sung’s personal details, photos, and the projects she was responsible for immediately."Percy nodded without delay and made a call to pass down the instructions.Ten minutes later, he forwarded the information to Stellar. She immediately sent it on to Joe."Let’s check the surveillance room. See if anything else was left behind..."With that, the group headed toward the security control center.They combed through the footage several times.The more Stellar watched, the more intrigued she became.May had always come across as plain—quiet, unremarkable. But what the footage revealed was something entirely different.Her movements were quick and precise, with the fluidity of someone professionally trained. Every action was deliberate.Even when stealing the research materials, she moved without making a sound.This wasn’t the behavior of an average assistant."Mr. Moore, I’m genuinely c

    It was Autumn who stepped in to explain. “Per your instructions, we installed surveillance cameras throughout the lab. “The footage shows that the one who broke in and stole the technical documents was Mr. Moore’s assistant.”Stellar’s eyes widened.That assistant—the one who had seemed completely unremarkable?She had noticed something odd about the way the woman looked at her before but hadn’t thought much of it. She’d let her guard down, and now they were paying the price.“Mr. Moore, if I remember correctly, wasn’t Miss May Sung your girlfriend?” Stellar’s lips curled into a faint smile, but there was no warmth in her expression.“N-No, she’s not…” Percy looked miserable. With things as they were, he had no choice but to admit the truth. “That was just a cover I used to get closer to you. There was never anything between us. I didn’t think she’d do something like this. She helped me so much. I really didn’t see it coming…”Was his judgment really this poor?Every person he tru
