Teddy stared at the monitor that had just been turned off. The gunfire had stopped. The room was filled with thin smoke and the smell of gunpowder. Elite troops were busy cleaning up the location, while Tony had been carried away in a paralyzed and silent state.However, amidst the smoke and the newly won victory, there was one thing that made Teddy narrow his eyes suspiciously. He slowly approached Damian, gazing at the man intently.“Damian,” he said softly. “Explain one thing to me. I hope you won’t lie to me, sir,” Teddy stared at Damian with unwavering determination, now surrounded by the elite soldiers working to secure the area.Damian turned his head, his expression unchanged. “Is there something I can help you with?” he asked casually, already certain that Teddy was curious about what he had actually done.Teddy furrowed his brow. “This is about the human doll earlier.

When he arrived at the server room, he found a technician already shot in the corner of the room. But what made his blood run cold was: someone was accessing the system.A tall, slender woman with neatly tied hair and a black uniform without any insignia. As she turned around, Damian was startled.It was Lieutenant Megan.Megan, the secret agent from Garden Nation. They had once been on the same team during a joint mission, but she had gone missing during an operation at the border.“Megan?” Damian’s voice was barely audible as he looked at the woman he knew.The woman stared at him, smiling faintly. “I hope you’re not too surprised.”“So this was all your doing?”“Not me. I’m just following orders. But you might have been used as a pawn, Damian. Tony was taken down because he was too reckless and brutal. Remiel took over because he has a clean slate. But in reality, they all sold themselves to Garden.”“Garden itself controls this network?” Damian asked coldly.“Not all of it. But en
