Chapter 8

Auteur: NJ Boss
My gaze landed on Xander, and my tense expression eased slightly.

"Other than you and Captain Hardy, I don't trust anyone right now."

Xander dipped his head in acknowledgment, eyeing me with a complex expression. "Understood. The medical team is waiting next door. They insist on performing one last full-body checkup."

After a thorough examination, the medical team arrived at the same conclusion as before. My wounds were mostly superficial with a minor risk of infection; beyond that, I was exp

    My revenge was only just beginning, yet this war had already reached international levels.Noting the icy glint in my eyes, Xander urged in a low voice, "Don't lose sight of our original mission."I paused briefly in surprise but didn't answer.Perhaps the Henry Jenner who believed everyone was inherently kind had died the moment he heard them discussing the price of his organs while he lay on that surgical table.…As the rain pounded against the bulletproof glass, I sat before the console in the command center of Interpol's Alluria branch, studying the asset freeze order for one of the many implicated companies. A stream of data nearby showed that law enforcement from 17 countries had already taken similar action.Occasionally, some would attempt to claim innocence, only for new evidence to quickly disprove them.At that moment, Xander entered with a newly decrypted intelligence document."Sonnet Hospital's cross-border capital chain has been thoroughly severed. A bank accoun

    My gaze landed on Xander, and my tense expression eased slightly."Other than you and Captain Hardy, I don't trust anyone right now."Xander dipped his head in acknowledgment, eyeing me with a complex expression. "Understood. The medical team is waiting next door. They insist on performing one last full-body checkup."After a thorough examination, the medical team arrived at the same conclusion as before. My wounds were mostly superficial with a minor risk of infection; beyond that, I was experiencing extreme physical fatigue.However, my psychological analysis indicated that I was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, which would require professional intervention.The doctors prescribed antibiotics and sedatives, stressing that I needed adequate rest.I agreed, but the moment they left, I headed straight for the temporary command center.Xander and I stood before a massive display screen as he informed me of the new arrangements for the press conference."This is the

    My low curse wasn't aimed at Nicholas, but at my own past wishful thinking.Back then, I had clearly realized there was something seriously wrong with the medical data, yet I hadn't probed further when Samantha breezily claimed that was simply "how the industry worked". Looking back, I understood she hadn't been adhering to any industry rules; she had already been deep in the thick of a criminal enterprise. Xander showed me another encrypted file. It was a report on the funds transfer between Sonnet Hospital and several overseas shell companies. The red warning highlights were particularly jarring against the white background.On the surface, it appeared Sonnet Hospital was collaborating with these medical firms. In truth, this was simply Nicholas' way of establishing a channel for the organ trafficking organization to launder money. Not only were there no legal profits, but there were also massive unexplained debts.The ironic thing was that Samantha believed she was finally ga

    Xander held me steady, his body warmth seeping through his uniform to chase away the bone-chilling cold of the surgical table.I had been undercover for five years, pretending to be a normal employee by Samantha's side while I discreetly investigated things. However, what I received in return wasn't the truth, but a ruthless betrayal.I looked up at the screen showing Samantha's face—now twisted in utter despair—and spoke slowly. "Samantha Sonnet, the divorce agreement will be delivered to your office tomorrow. You'll be leaving with nothing but the clothes on your back!"The bulletproof metal of the black armored car did an excellent job of cutting off the scent of blood emanating from the factory. Nonetheless, I could still feel the bone-deep chill of the surgical table and the restraints tying me down. I could still remember the despair I felt while the rabid dogs barked and snarled around me. Most of all, I could never forget the icy cold that spread through my body when I w

    My head snapped up as I looked toward the door.Standing against the backlight was Xander Lindt's tall, broad figure. Smoke was still trailing from the muzzle of the gun in his hands.He was the head of the Special Operations Division, my grandfather's most trusted aide, and my cousin. I honestly hadn't expected him to appear here."C-Captain Lindt?" Samantha's voice shook with fear and disbelief. "W-What are you…"Xander ignored her completely. His gaze swept over me, taking in how I was barely presentable due to the blood and dust clinging to my body, before shifting to the dead dogs surrounding me. Flames of fury ignited in his eyes.He strode forward briskly, easily stepping over the fallen metal door without hesitating to tread on the filthy floor. He took off his jacket and offered it to me. "Everything's okay now, Henry."I stared at his outstretched hand and the clean jacket, then looked down at my filthy body. Drool from the rabid dogs still clung to me in places.Seein

    Nicholas' voice came over the speakers, tinged with a hint of exaggerated fear, though there was no hiding the excitement in his tone."Samantha, don't you think that's a little too much? After all, Henry—"Scoffing, Samantha raised a hand and interrupted him. "He certainly didn't think it was too much when he edited your diagnostic plan and ruined your future, nor did he care when your family was in dire straits. Release them!"Her last two words were barked straight into the microphone as an order.Immediately, a rusted metal door at the side of the operating room was opened electronically, the gears screeching with friction. Not one, but many dark blurs shot out of the darkness, growling and barking madly.The dogs' eyes were completely bloodshot, and viscous drool hung from their jaws. They seemed entirely out of their minds as they charged at the only target in the room—me!The live stream chat went into an uproar."Oh fuck! Those are dogs!""There's something off about th
