    Winnie then grabbed a nket and covered Mason with it as shemented, “He was really excited


    when he headed out. I’ve known him for so long, and yet, that was the first time I’ve seen him look so


    happy. Who would’ve thought he’d end up like this…”Josiah let out a sigh. “There simply is no telling


    what could happen next in life. Harold truly is pure evil! He will pay dearly for what he did!”“Yeah! He


    will!” Winnie muttered through clenched teeth.“Should we go look for Greta now?” Josiah asked.Xavier


    slowed the car down and nced at them in the rear-view mirror as he replied, “Let’s hand Mason over


    to the police.”“Okay. But I don’t have a way to contact Greta, so we’ll have to go through Officer rk,”


    Winnie said as she sat up straight in her seat.“All right, then. We’ll go see Officer rk.”With that,


    Xavier drove to the Special Task Force office where they met Greta the other day.After exining their


    reasons for dropping by, they received a call from James and were told to wait in a conference


    room.About twenty minutester, Greta finally arrived.She furrowed her brows when she entered the


    conference room and saw the blood on Winnie’s and Josiah’s clothes.“Captain rk told me you guys


    ran into some trouble. What happened to you two? Why are you both injured? How severe are your


    wounds?” she asked worriedly.Realizing that Greta had gotten the wrong idea, Winnie exined,


    “We’re not injured, Greta. This isn’t our blood. It’s Mason’s. Something really bad happened to him


    —”“Is he still alive?” Greta demanded anxiously before Winnie could finish.“I’m sorry. We tried our


    best,” Winnie replied with a solemn expression.Greta froze even though she kind of saw it


    coming.They’d be in a hospital if Mason were still alive. The fact that they’re here suggests that he’s


    most likely dead…“Where is he now?” she asked with a frown.“We’ve handed him over to the police,”


    Winnie replied.Having confirmed her suspicions, Greta rushed over to the mortuary while Winnie and


    the others followed closely behind.James, too, came rushing over as quickly as he could.He called out


    to Greta the moment he saw her.Greta paused in her tracks and said with a grim expression, “Mason is


    dead, Captain rk. My instincts are telling me that Harold had something to do with his death.”James


    nodded. “Let’s continue ahead and have a look at him. We can discuss thister.”Mason’s body had


    already been processed by the time they arrived at the mortuary.It was at that moment Greta lost all


    courage to pull away the white cloth.For three years, I’ve been working undercover in that horrible


    ce disguised as a mercenary named Greta. Throughout those three years, I spent almost every


    single day around Mason. I couldn’t exactly call that love, but we did go through countless life-and-


    death situations together.Greta felt extremely ufortable when she saw the wounds on Mason’s


    body.However, she felt a lot better when she lifted the white sheet and saw his serene expression.After


    stepping out of the mortuary, Greta asked James, “Captain rk, may I have a few words with Ms.


    Gand in private? It’ll only take about five minutes.”James nodded. “Go ahead. We’ll head over to the


    conference room together afterward.”“Yes, sir!”Greta then led Winnie to an area without surveince


    cameras.Winnie handed Greta the bloodied photo and told her everything that had happened. Greta


    tightened her grip on the photo and frowned deeply as she mumbled, “I may have disappointed Mason


    when it came to love, but I will be sure to capture Harold myself. I can’t believe he used my name to


    lure Mason out. He’s a lot more cunning than we thought. We can’t let a dangerous man like him walk


    free. Harold must be stopped!”“He’s after me this time, so you have my full cooperation,” Winnie said


    with a slight frown.Although Mason wasn’t Chanaean, they still needed to investigate his death


    because he was murdered in Chanaea.When discussing his death with James, Greta requested for


    permission to be part of the case.To her surprise, James turned her request down immediately. “No,


    you’re too impulsive. I won’t let you get involved in this case, regardless of the reason.”“I’m not acting


    impulsively, Captain rk. I promise I won’t do anything impulsive during the investigation either,”


    Greta said with a frown.“You are being impulsive now, Margareta! You are aware that our higher-ups


    have another mission for you, and yet, you’re asking to be a part of Harold’s case on such short notice?


    If this isn’t impulsive behavior, I don’t know what is!”Not wanting to reveal too much information in front


    of outsiders like Winnie and the others, James took a deep breath and continued, “Go wait in my office.


    I’ll head over as soon as I’m done here.”After Greta left, James reminded Winnie and the others to be


    extra careful at all times.As a safety precaution, he also gave them the contact number of the person in


    charge of this case.It was already eleven at night by the time Winnie and the others left the police


    station.She was about to get in the driver’s seat when Xavier grabbed her hand and said, “I’ll drive. You


    can get some rest in the back.”Winnie let out a huge sigh when she recalled that the back seat wasContent from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    covered in Mason’s blood. “No, I can handle it.”Xavier nodded and made his way over to the passenger


    seat.As Winnie was driving really fast, Josiah asked, “Ms. Gand, would you mind slowing down a


    little?”“What’s the matter, Dr. Houghton? Are you scared?” Winnie asked with a smirk.“Why would I be


    scared? I’ll have you know that I am an expert in kart racing! This is nothing!” Josiah protested.Winnie


    gazed at him through the rear-view mirror and let out a chuckle. “Heh… Putting on a tough front, I


    see.”She then turned the steering wheel really aggressively all of a sudden, causing Josiah to fall to the


    side.Not wanting to m his head into the car window a second time, Josiah had no choice but to give


    up. “Okay, I’m sorry! I’m sorry!”Xavier ced a hand on Winnie’sp and said, “Pull over by the gas


    station in front.”Winnie simply shot him a nce before doing as told.Xavier then went inside to buy


    some beer before making his way back to the car and tapping on the driver’s window.Winnie rolled the


    window down and asked, “What is it?”“Let’s switch ces. I’ll take you somewhere,” Xavier replied.“For


    a drink?” Winnie asked with an eyebrow arched when she saw what he had in his hand.“Yeah. It’ll help


    you rx.”After exchanging ces with her, Xavier drove them to the beach and parked the car.Josiah


    recognized the ce instantly. “Hey, Xavier! Isn’t this your super-secret hideout? I thought you said you


    were going to keep this ce for yourself after buying it?”“You two are an exception.” Xavier leaned


    over to unbuckle Winnie’s seat belt and gave her a quick peck on the cheek. “All right, we’re here.”
