CHAPTER 785
Ashley swallowed hard. She lowered her head slowly. "Yes, sir."Later that evening, the heavy silence in Clara’s apartment was broken by the sharp ringing of her phone. She looked at the screen; it was Henry. She walked out onto the small, quiet balcony to answer the call."What happened, Clara?!" Henry shouted out of frustration. "We had a solid deal! You were supposed to locate the assassin woman and bring her to me so the department could secure the lead. What the hell is up with this kid you took instead?"Clara let out a long sigh, resting her forehead against the cool metal railing of the balcony. "I couldn't do that, Henry. Everything changed because of Valthera. And besides, the assassin woman is dead. The little kid was the actual one who saw the King's face, not his sister. She was trying to protect him.""What?!" Henry gasped, completely stunned."Yes," Clara continued, her voice dropping into a serious whisper. "And that is exactly why the King wants him dead. He sent Butc
CHAPTER 784
Grace was currently facing the large living room window, sitting quietly in a comfortable wheelchair. She was staring out at the city view."Hey, Grace," Clara said gently, walking up beside her.Grace turned around slowly in her wheelchair. The moment her eyes landed on Clara, a faint, sweet smile broke across her weathered face. "Clara..." she muttered softly, her voice weak but full of warmth. "How are you, dear?""I'm doing fine," Clara whispered, leaning down to give her a deep, loving hug.When they pulled apart, Grace’s eyes immediately drifted down to Brian, who was still standing by the doorway, looking terrified. Grace looked at him, desperately trying to remember if this little boy was someone she had forgotten. "Who is this?" Grace asked softly."This is Brian," Clara explained, gently touching the boy's shoulder to pull him closer. "He is the son of a very dear friend of mine. She... she is no more, Grace. She asked me to take care of him and keep him safe."Grace’s eye
CHAPTER 783
"I had to protect the identity and information of my high-level informant, sir," Henry replied, his voice remaining completely steady and cold. "If I brought the entire police force rushing in, the informant would have been exposed and killed."The Commander let out a bitter, mocking laugh. "Oh, really?! You tell me the exact name of your informant right now, Henry!"Do you have any idea what a massive political mess this is?! If you don't give me a name immediately, I will fire you so fast you won't even know what hit you!"Henry didn't flinch. He slowly leaned back in his office chair, crossing his arms as he stared directly into his superior's angry eyes."You know what? Go ahead and do it," Henry said, his voice dropping into a dangerously cold, calm whisper. "Fire me right now. But if you do, you will be permanently losing your most valuable informant on the biggest case in the country."Let me see how you explain to the Minister of Defense how you had a perfect chance to solve t
CHAPTER 782
"He can handle it," Valthera insisted coldly, her face showing no emotion whatsoever. "We don't have time for patience. The Syndicate is hunting us."But Thomas stepped forward, placing a firm, heavy hand on the table. His expression was incredibly stern as he glared at Valthera. "There are some lines we do not cross, Valthera. We are not going to drug an innocent seven-year-old child."Valthera let out a long, frustrated sigh, leaning back against the couch. "Fine. But he is the only solid lead we have to find the King. If we can't get any information from him yet, I guess I have no choice. I will have to set up a high-stakes meeting with the leader of the Outcast Gang." She paused, looking around at her team. "Even if the boy eventually talks, we are going to need a literal army if we are going to go up against the King's entire empire."She stood up, her voice turning into a strict command. "For now, everyone keep a very low profile. Don't draw any unnecessary attention to yoursel
CHAPTER 781
The surviving soldiers of the Obsidian Syndicate retreated in total humiliation, speeding away from the burning cathedral into their hidden underground base. Several men were badly injured, their clothes scorched and their skin covered in painful burns from Valthera’s massive fire. Medics rushed out with stretchers and medical kits, dragging the groaning soldiers toward the clinic area to treat their wounds.Inside the main hall of the base, Butcher was absolutely furious. His face was twisted in an ugly rage as he slammed his massive fist onto a metal table. For someone to have arrived at the church before them, and to have possessed the top-secret intelligence before the Syndicate could even move, was supposed to be completely impossible."Does anyone have any damn idea who did this?!" Butcher barked, his voice echoing like thunder against the concrete walls.The elite soldiers all lowered their heads in deep shame. No one dared to look him in the eye, and absolute silence follow
CHAPTER 780
Inside, Clara heard Henry’s panicked voice echoing in her ear. She cleared her throat quickly, trying to remain calm in front of her mother. "We need to leave right now. They are outside."They moved rapidly out of the back room, guiding Stella and little Brian toward the main sanctuary. But just as they were about to step out into the wide open church, the giant front wooden doors burst open with a deafening crash.The Syndicate soldiers surged inside, their flashlights cutting through the dusty darkness. Brian, terrified by the sudden noise, accidentally ran ahead of the group, stepping right into the center aisle of the main hall. He was a completely clear, open target.A shadow guard raised his rifle, aiming directly at the child’s chest. They were about to shoot."Noo! Brian!!!!" Stella screamed at the top of her lungs.With a desperate burst of speed, Stella lunged forward, throwing her entire body in front of the little boy to shield him from the incoming blast.RAT-TAT-TAT-TA
