Footsteps came from the side, and a person poked their head out of the side. Finlay caught them snooping around, and their eyes met. In the next second, the other person went on his knees and pleaded at Finlay’s feet. “Akhe! I didn’t mean to bring you so much trouble! I should have been more relentless to that guy!” “Erm, you already brought me trouble for doing unnecessary things. It’s best for you to just leave Bastet and Anubis to deal with him.” Finlay didn’t stop Gendry from hugging his leg and begging like a worm. “You work closely with their group, right? Just help them out and don’t do strange things.” “Really? You’re not angry at me?” Gendry looked up and wore an ugly begging face. It’s just that Finlay didn’t shake his head. Finlay only sighed. “To be honest, he got what he deserved. It’s just that he’s

There was only a nod that came after. David looked like he was only hiding his distraught self. After all, his wife died more than two decades ago. Today, the supposed unknown killer resurfaced again. He even seemed to intervene in this case the Red Core was investigating. “…Mr. Colton senior, how much do you know about your wife?” The detective, who was supposed to shut up, struck when his former mentor was the least expecting him to talk. Romeo glared at the stupid man, but David only frowned at him. David responded, “Why are you asking me that question right now?” Brian didn’t even feel a bit scared. “Theodore Bailey didn’t have a good track record. He had been doing underhanded tricks against all his competitors until lately. His name came up as a mastermind to an arson case against one of Finlay Baker’s mark

Without another word, she left to find other members to arrange for everything else that she needed. Whether she died along the way, she just hoped Wolfram would spare her kids. Even if Wolfram had become her safest space, reality had its way of breaking things apart for her. As for Wolfram, he only asked the agent to report to him when the results were ready. The commander of the Red Core walked out of the lab, followed by the captain who didn’t know how to pacify things. Avalon could only imagine what would happen to Wolfram if Delta’s brother was the one behind his very own mother’s murder. “Oh, Commander, have you seen—?” Hepu just got out of the primary lab with a big smile. He saw Wolfram walking and was about to ask for Delta when he was grabbed by the collar. His back made a loud thud against the wall, but he still kept his mouth shut and hands raised

Bait? Yes, that was what Yuri said before. Someone used him as bait to lure their mom and kill her. That was why Zenon blamed him for their mother’s death. If only he knew how to keep himself safe, April Colton wouldn’t have to die a terrible death. Wolfram’s head then looked up and frowned at his eldest brother. “Yuri…?” “That detective is quite a person. Keep him around if you can.” Yuri chuckled before turning to the door. An agent pushed in a trolley and served them some food. After all, none of them had slept for the night just yet. Wolfram even took a sip as soon as the coffee was on the table.  “As I was saying, his concerns are worth looking into.” Yuri moved his hand to send files to Wolfram’s comms device. “It seemed that Mom was not as simple as we all thought she was. Do you ever wonder why you a

Loud gunfire echoed in the metal hallway, and the rain of bullets competed with the pace of Delta’s heartbeat. She was hiding behind a metal crate, with Shezmu the only other person exchanging fire with ten more operatives. The House of Ra had to spread out to cover all grounds, and most of them were too far to respond in time. “Last round, Boss. Are you doing well?” Shezmu asked, but he could see how labored her breathing had become. Delta might have an antidote for everything, but she couldn’t antidote her way out of a gunshot wound. She was still bleeding despite the patches. “It’s getting cold, but I can’t perish here… not without a report of Carolus being spotted…” Delta chuckled. She checked her watch and saw that the minute hand was still a centimeter away from the marker. “The Red Core wouldn’t be here for another ten minutes. They would need to look
