Chapter 725
After hearing that, Holden nodded repeatedly.
“Right. Bailey is Anonymous, and Anonymous is a disciple of Dark Healer, Maerlus, who has spent his
entire life researching this poison. She probably knows something. I''ll call Bailey immediately and have
here to Tarragon Headquarters.”
After that, Holden took out his phone from his pocket, found Bailey''s number, and prepared to make the
call.
Artemis reached out his hand and stopped Holden, “Let''s not tell her for now. The trial for Shannon''s
case is about to begin at Prudent Hall. Let''s deal with that first.”
“But...” Holden tried to protest.
Artemis did not give Holden a chance to speak and turned to walk outside. Holden watched Artemis''
upright back and sighed softly.
If news spread that the leader of Tarragon had been afflicted with The Enigma, there would be
bloodshed again.
The culprit had big ambitions. They seemed to be targeting Tarragon, so they poisoned the
organization''s leader swiftly and ruthlessly.
“Dr. Lynch, how much longer can he survive in this condition?” Holden asked.
Henley answered, “In the best case, he''ll live for a month, and in the worst case, he''llst for only half a
month. Once the toxin spreads to his internal organs, death is inevitable. This is the real reason why
this poison is deadly. It won''t kill you instantly, but rather, it forces you to watch helplessly as it slowly
eats away at your body and makes you ept the impending death.”
Holden was at loss for words. At Prudent Hall, Yvette''s bloodied bodyy on the floor weakly. Her fierce
gaze swept across a group of high-ranking members in the room.
“You ungrateful people! If it weren''t for my father''s assistance, none of you would be as sessful as
you are today. Now when someone covets my status and position, you didn''t stand up for me and even
betrayed me. One day, my father and I will return as vengeful spirits to get your lives!”
The high-ranking members exchanged nces.
Then, Prudent Hall''s hall leader stepped forward and said coldly, “The previous leader set Tarragon''s
rules. As Mr. Sullivan''s only child, you failed to follow the inheritedw andmitted many
wrongdoings for your selfish desires. How can we maintain the organization''s rules and regtions if
we don''t punish you severely?”
After speaking, he abruptly waved his hand, signaling Shannon to present all the evidence and witness
testimonies. Shannon brought arge stack of documents into Prudent Hall and handed them to the
hall leader.

The hall leader announced, “All right. So many high-ranking members are here today, and Leader will
be arriving soon, so if you have been wronged, we will-”
Before the hall leader could finish speaking, Shannon turned around and walked straight toward Yvette,
disregarding the hall leader.
The hall leader coughed awkwardly and called for the other high-ranking members to examine the
witness'' testimony and physical evidence.
Once Shannon reached Yvette, she slowly crouched down and grabbed Yvette''s chin.
Shannon uttered, “We were here six years ago too. You schemed against me and forced the man I
loved the most to agree to cut off my arm. You made me experience extreme pain, and I fell into the
abyss, never able to rise again. Today and right here, you''ll repay everything you owe me with interest.”
Yvette began tough crazily. She pointed at Shannon and red fiercely and vengefully.
“What can you reim from me? An arm? A child? The pain you received from your lover? Or perhaps
the womb that you personally removed? Shannon, the torment I inflicted upon you willst, but you
can''t torment me. It''s just death for me, but you suffered worse than I ever will. Hahaha!”
Shannon lowered her head slightly. That was indeed true. She was taking revenge on Yvette for all the
pain she had once experienced.
However, Shannon was tormented and suffered for many years, so she still had more lossespared
to Yvette. Death was easy. It only took a brief moment, and all pain would vanish. Living a life worse
than death was harder.
“Greetings, Leader.”
“Hi, Leader.” Greetings resounded one after another outside.
The high-ranking member inside the room hurriedly put down their tasks and rushed toward the
entrance. Artemis walked in while surrounded by arge crowd of people. His cold, eagle-like gaze
swept over Shannon and Yvette before he headed straight to the main seat and sat down.
“Have you investigated everything?” Artemis asked.
Prudent Hall''s hall leader hurriedly nodded and said, “Leader, we have thoroughly investigated the
matter. The evidence provided by Ms. Shannon is indeed valid. We wrongly used her six years ago.
After everything is settled, I will resign from being Prudent Hall''s hall leader to give the Lewitt family
justice. Please deliver your verdict for Her Royal—Ms. Sullivan.”
Artemis gently tapped on the table, and his gazended on Shannon.
“Shannon the warrioress, you are the biggest victim in this conspiracy. You can decide what to do with
Yvette. She''ll live, die, or live a life worse than death ording to your will. I will support your decision,
so think carefully.”
A cold light burst forth in Shannon''s eyes with the intent to kill swirling between her brows. However,
she quickly suppressed it once more.
Shannon said, “Then I want her to live a life worse than death. Leader, please hand her over to me. I
will be the one to decide her life and death in the future.”
“All right, as you wish.”
As he spoke, Artemis'' gaze swept across the hall, and he said, “Many of you were promoted by Mr.
Sullivan. I wonder if any of you have objections to how I deal with his daughter.”
Every new sovereign would bring his own courtiers. Tarragon was now led by another person, so none
of these high-ranking members dared to voice objections. Having a different opinion was equivalent to
challenging the new leader''s authority.
Someone said, “Leader''s decision is the best. Every grievance has its source, and every debt has its
debtor. Since it''s their personal grudge, it''s best to let them resolve it themselves.”
Another voice agreed, “I agree.”
Yvette gradually stoppedughing. She knew she would be subjected to inhuman torment and that
death might be a form of relief if Shannon took over. With that thought, Yvette abruptly opened her
mouth wide to bite her tongue and end her own life.
A figure swiftly moved, appearing in front of her like a ghost, and reached out to cover her mouth.
“If you want to die, you should get our approval first.”
The person who took action and spoke was Micah. He should have had a happy andplete family
with a loving wife and children.
However, it was all destroyed by that vicious woman. Yvette was forced to keep her mouth open and
unable to bite down.
The misty tears in her eyes formed beads and rolled down her cheeks.
She cried, “Father has always treated you well. He raised, educated, and nurtured you as if you were
his biological son. Is this how you repay him? Micah, if you have any conscience left, you should give
me a quick death.”
Shannon casually grabbed a few pieces of paper from the table, crumpled them into a ball, and stuffed
them into Yvette''s mouth.
Then, Shannon sneered, “Even if he wants to give you a quick end, I won''t allow it to happen. Yvette,
don''t even think about dying before I''ve had enough fun with you.”
Then, Shannon suddenly leaned closer to Yvette and whispered, “I heard that the Bone-shredding
Hormones developed by the Tarragon are quite potent. Would you like to give it a try?” Yvette''s pupils
contracted sharply.
“Mmph... Mmph! Mmph!”
