Chapter 607
Elijah flipped through the album faster, and the more he went, the clearer it became. This was a harmless photo album of a life documented from the beginning, from the wedding to the children being born and growing up. Ordinary family moments were preserved page after page, with nothing suspicious about any of it.He was starting to believe he was wrong until something slipped out while he was rushing to the end of the album.An envelope.He looked down at it and would have ignored it if it hadn't had an address in Alder City on it.This made Elijah quickly pick it up and rip open the seal. He was greeted by fresh pictures scattering out of it and landing all over the floor in front of him.He gasped, his eyes widening, and picked one up, looking closely. It was a picture of him and little Mia.Not just any picture, but one taken when he had gone to Blackwood Estate to save her for the second time.It was quite dark, but he could still make out his own face.Looking around now, he did
Chapter 606
Elijah Langston arrived at the gates of the DiLaurentis Estate that morning at a speed that came with heavy winds and blurry images that couldn't keep up with his pace.He was panting heavily, his body soaked from head to toe, while trying to remain standing.He had just covered the distance from the Langston mansion to this Estate because he couldn't get a taxi this early, having to move at the expense of his spiritual energy, which easily came close to exhaustion from things like this.Still, it was the least of his concerns as he staggered through the gate into the compound.The entire Estate was quiet that morning, and not even the slightest sound could be heard.He made his way around the main building and soon got to the door of the apartment behind it.It was locked, but a slight shove from him broke the internal lock mechanism and gave him access.“Wife!” he called out, staggering into the living room. “Serena!”His tone was filled with seriousness as he spoke, the complete op

Elijah's face twitched slightly, but he still asked, “This was how many years ago?” “Twenty. Perhaps twenty-one. Roughly two decades. The investigation was eventually closed because all means of finding the source proved futile, and nearly ten years of the intelligence agency's budget had been spent on the case alone.” “Didn't you arrest the distributors?” Elijah asked. Charles Adelson let out a long sigh. “It's complicated, Good Doctor. I have never seen anything like it before. It was as though they were under some kind of spell. Nothing could break them into confessing the source, even when the court of justice approved the use of torture during interrogation. And then...” He hesitated for a few seconds before pressing forward. “The day they were being transported to the court for their first hearing, the transport was attacked by a group with firepower that equaled that of the military, far beyond anything the intelligence agency could counter.” “The source?” Elijah asked. “

The next day, Elijah was woken very early by the buzzing of his device on the bed beside him.He groaned sleepily as his hand found it and pulled it to his face. His eyes blinked against the darkness of the room, trying to make out the caller ID.They widened instantly like an awakened dragon the moment he saw the name.Charles Adelson.He pulled himself into a sitting position and brought the phone to his ear.“Good Doctor, I'm very sorry for waking you this early, but I just couldn't wait.” Charles Adelson's voice came through, filled with urgency and nervousness.Elijah rose to his feet and walked out of the room to shake off the remaining sleep. “Go on, Charles. What do you have?”“Good Doctor, you might have just broken the biggest case of financial terrorism that has gone cold for over two decades!”“What are you talking about?” Elijah stopped walking.“You don't know what you just handed over to me. This is something incredibly big. Bigger than me or any criminal case in Sorevi
Chapter 603
As Elijah walked to his room, he pulled out his phone and opened his Langston family private account.The Ainsworths had taken control of it after the killing of his family, distributing the balance among the five great families. Eleanor had taken five hundred billion for the Ainsworths alone, and each of the remaining four families had received one hundred billion, making a total withdrawal of nine hundred billion.A considerable fortune. But it didn't move him really.What they didn’t know, and would never know, was that this account had been one of hundreds of private accounts belonging to the Langston family. Not only that, it had been the account with the lowest balance, the one known to the public.Against the full breadth of Langston wealth, what had been stolen from this account was a drop in the ocean.Several years ago, Charles Adelson had helped him file a petition at the highest national bank of Sorevia to recover ownership of the account. The Ainsworths likely hadn’t no
Chapter 602
Elijah arrived at the old Langston Family mansion late into the night. Walking through the gate, he was welcomed by a new sight.Four armoured trucks were parked inside the compound, none of which had been there when he left earlier that day.Tessa couldn't have possibly brought her team here, so their presence put him on the lookout as he continued walking, taking in the full picture.Only when he got closer did he notice that these weren't military armoured trucks. They were the kind used for the secure transportation of large amounts of cash and valuables, heavy-bodied vehicles with reinforced panels and thick door frames. Even from outside, he could see a stack of papers sitting on the porch leading to the front door.Once he was certain there was no one hiding in the dark, he moved to the first armoured van and pulled the double doors open.The warm gleam of gold reached him before anything else, and with it came the distinct scent of freshly printed currency notes. Stacked neat
