Christopher frowned.He could not expose the details of the mission to Winnie, but looking at how the
circumstances had evolved, he had no choice but to speak up.“This is a twist of fate. Initially, I was
supposed to lead my team here to back up my soldier, but he was sacrificed in an ident. However,
he had stayed here and worked hard for three years, so we could not easily give up the achievements
he had exchanged with his life. As a result, I carried out an order given to me to remain here
temporarily despite the danger. I’ve rarely revealed myself when I participated in the local raids in
recent years and have never been targeted by any drug cartels. Still, I cannot entirely exclude the
possibility that Zyon may recognize my appearance, so he’s a massive liability to me. My death is
insignificant if he exposes me, but the bigger concern will be the interruption of the trail of clues my
soldier had acquired with much difficulty. We’ll need to restart our operation from scratch again if that
happens. That means more sacrifices to be made and more blood to be spilled. Every year, many
narcotics officers suffer horrible deaths at the hands of drug dealers, which is something none of us
wish to happen.”“I understand.” Winnie suddenly began regarding Christopher with much more respect
after knowing he decided to remain in his position despite being aware of how much danger he was
putting himself in. “Then, what do you n to do now?”He furrowed his brows while cleaning the
bloodstained gun around his waist before cing it on the table. “Under such circumstances, my only
option is to eliminate Zyon first.”She nodded. “He deserves to die. When he escaped from Avenport, he
blew up a huge cargo ship, causing three people to die in the explosion and nine to be gravely injured.
One of the people who died was a policeman. After all the crimes hemitted, the only punishment
that awaits him upon his capture will be execution by shooting.”“Yes.” He pursed his lips. “Everyone
here is involved in at least one murder case, perhaps even more. All of them escape to this ce
because theymitted heinous crimes in their respective countries. All the people here are ruthless
and despicable. You shouldn’t havee here.”“I know, but there’s something I must do.” Winnie
gazed at Christopher and knitted her brows. “There’s something else I need to ask you.”“Go ahead.”“I
assume you know that Yulissa is not dead? Did you turn her into your informant?”He nced at her
and hesitated briefly before answering, “I cannot tell you that.”She opened her mouth to retort but was
able to put herself in his shoes on second thought. “Okay. Let me put my question in a different way.
Will she betray you?”Christopher understood Winnie had realized the fact that Yulissa was still alive.He
pinched between his brows and uttered with uncertainty, “I can only tell you I know what I’m
doing.”“Okay.” Winnie nodded. “I understand. It’s fine as long as you know what you’re doing. Although
you cannot voluntarily divulge information about her to me, I have some details to share with you. This
thing I’m about to do is rted to Yulissa, and if my n is somehow conflicting with yours, I hope you’ll
tell me what to do because I don’t want to ruin the n you’re risking your lives to execute.”He started
to sense the severity of that matter. “Winnie, what are you trying to do?”“You should know that before
Yulissa faked her death, she injected Xavier with arge amount of venom, and this venom is a tricky
business. All the local and abroad specialists have failed to find a cure for it. The only solution now is to
find the person who created the venom. We suspect the creator to be Yulissa’s grandfather, Professor
White. She mentioned her grandfather was captured and brought here many years ago. If we can
locate him, perhaps we can ask him toe up with the antidote. Of course, it’ll be even better if we
can rescue him as well.” “Winnie, I must tell you this. It isn’t difficult if you want to save your granny, but
if you’re looking for Professor White, that’ll be an arduous task. I can share with you some details
rted to Professor White because even if I don’t tell you, you’ll be able to sound these things out
anyway since all the drug dealers in Lightspring know about this. Harold is one of the three most
powerful drug lords in this region, and two major factors contribute to his rapid sess. The first
reason is his control over vast amounts of firearms, and the other is the drug formtion he possesses.
While the other two drug lords were still nting poppy nts to extract the opium, Harold had already
built factories to facilitate his manufacturing process. Professor White is the source of Harold’s drug
formtion. However, the factory’s location is very secluded and is top secret. When I took over my
colleague’s position and showed up in front of Harold, I risked my life for him and shielded him from
bullets, all to acquire his trust. Yet, I haven’t found out the location of his factory until now, not even the
slightest hint! Besides, the police from Chanaea aren’t the only ones looking for Professor White. The
other two drug lords are searching for him too. They want to seize that drug formtion for themselves
because it will be their cash cow. In light of such a dire and precarious situation, Harold has to put forth
his best effort to conceal Professor White. You’ve only arrived at Lightspring for one or two days. Do
you think you have the capability to rescue Professor White?”Winnie had some sense of self-
awareness. “I don’t. Unless I’m so lucky as to stumble into the factory’s entrance.”“I’m d that you
understand my point. Therefore, you should hurry up and leave as soon as you rescue your granny.
Regarding Xavier’s antidote, you can try to look for the help of other specialists. If doctors do not have
a solution, then look for chemists. Since a chemist created this venom, perhaps others among their
community cane up with an antidote.”Letting out a long sigh, Winnie answered, “I’m afraid that’s
not feasible. I must find Yulissa to get back something that belongs to me.”“What is that thing?”
Christopher was genuinely concerned about Winnie’s safety. “Tell me. I’ll help you get it back from
her.”She responded solemnly, “Thank you for your kind offer, but I’m afraid that’s not a good idea.
Yulissa hates my guts and yearns to see me die. If she knows you’re helping me, you can imagine the
consequences. If she’s infuriated and exposes you, you and your n will be doomed. In that case, I’ll
feel guilty about that for the rest of my life. Besides, I’m here because I have another crucial thing that I
must aplish.”He ruffled his hair in frustration. “All the things you want to do are no different from
courting death. What other matters do you have that you must aplish?”“You mentioned Professor
White when you talked about the drug formtion earlier, and you also said the two other drug lords
are vying for the formtion. Is Professor White the only person who can produce the drugs
here?”“He’s certainly not the only person who can do that, but Professor White has the newest
formtion. Do you know the significance of this newest formtion? That means these drug lords will
be able to produce drugs with the highest purity using the least cost. This is a matter rted to
maximizing their profit yield.”“Newest formtion…” Winnie nodded. “I got it. What I’m trying to ask is
that you’ve been here for a long time, and based on the information and intelligence you have, do you
know about someone who had just escaped here from Erihal not long ago and may also possess a
kind of new formtion?”“Erihal? Are you saying he has Adrunian facial features? There aren’t many
people with Adruniuan facial features here because most of them are from Southeast Aploth.”She
shook her head. “I’m not sure. I don’t know what that person looks like, nor do I know that person’sText ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.
gender. I only know that they have a new formtion, and I must locate them.”Taking in Winnie’s
adamant demeanor, Christopher could not help but allow a curious expression to form on his face.
“Winnie, who exactly are you?”
