    Chapter 633 Revenge


    Two kilograms of TNT?


    When Jonathan turned to look at Seamus, he saw that thetter had turned pale while staring daggers


    at Geoffrey.


    “Geoffrey, not only have I groomed you for three years, but I also rescued you from the grasp of your


    mortal enemy. So, how could you do this to me?”


    Seamus was utterly devastated by Geoffrey’s betrayal.


    The former had started his career as a peddler of information.


    People like him had built awork where he lived and was naturally on good terms with everyone.


    Even though he made a decent living, he didn’t derive any satisfaction from his job, which required him


    to behave in an obsequious manner to everyone.


    Three years ago, when Asura’s Office was established, Hades was rapidly expanding its intelligence


    network throughout the country.


    Since he was in dire need of talent, someone of Seamus’ skills was naturally an invaluable resource,


    especially when thetter was capable of establishing himself in a ce like Terrandya.


    On top of that, reality had also validated the decision to recruit Seamus back then.


    After joining Asura’s Office, Seamus used all the resources at his disposal to develop the intelligence


    network and was soon in control of Sparaville.


    In Seamus’ own words, as long as he was around, nothing in the city would get past his attention.


    It was during that time that a bloodless war ignited between the chiefs of the intelligenceworks


    within Terrandya’s eighteen cities.


    This was part of Asura’s Office’s n for recruitment, for they were short-handed on ount of being


    new.


    If they were to rely on selecting chiefs through appointments, there wouldn’t be enough candidates for


    the role.


    Therefore, by using cities as foundational building blocks, they would appoint a state chief from


    amongst the group of city chiefs, and that person would be chosen from the internal strife that had


    been nned.


    Not only could Asura’s Office pick out the most capable intelligence officer, but the chosen one would


    also gain the respect of all the other members of the organization.


    Consequently, Seamus was picked from amongst all the other city chiefs of Terrandya.


    After the strife, only five city chiefs, including Seamus, remained out of eighteen. The other thirteen had


    died under a variety of mysterious circumstances.


    The result inadvertently cemented Seamus’ position as the true leader of Terrandya’s intelligence


    network.


    Just by looking at Seamus’ rise over thest three years, one couldn’t help but feel impressed. In


    addition, many saw his actions as that worthy of a hero.


    As for Seamus, he didn’t rest on hisurels upon taking on his new role. Instead, he leveraged his


    intelligencework to gather information on all the government and corporate secrets within


    Terrandya. Thereafter, he made a killing by using the information for ckmail.Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    As the inherent nature of an intelligence officer’s job was building rtionships, Asura’s Office turned a


    blind eye to Seamus’ actions despite being aware of them.


    Given Seamus’ ruthless methods in securing his position, it became a habit for him to exercise extreme


    caution in whatever he did. Also, he found it difficult to trust anyone, and Geoffrey was the only


    exception.


    One year ago, Seamus saved him from being beaten to death by a bunch of gangsters due to a


    gambling debt thetter owed.


    Even since then, Geoffrey worked for Seamus.


    Despite making a few mistakes along the way, he was forgiven by Seamus every time.


    Having made countless enemies in recent years, Seamus knew that for true stability to be achieved, he


    needed to appoint a sessor to maintain his authority after he stepped down.


    Initially, he nned to groom Geoffrey for the role. That was the reason why he kept thetter by his


    side all the time.


    Although Geoffrey was known as the assistant, everyone was cognizant that it was Seamus’ attempt at


    familiarizing the former with the work process.


    But now, Seamus realized that he had been under Geoffrey’s surveince all this while, which was a


    revtion he couldn’t ept.


    “Geoffrey, how could you have done this to me? You’re the only person I trust!”


    As the many in the pool of blood, his deep voice was filled with hysteria and despair.


    “Why can’t I do this to you?”


    Geoffrey turned around to face Seamus.


    “Seamus, even if Mr. Goldstein didn’te, you would still have died within the next few days. Your


    mistake was to have trusted me. All I needed to do was to spike your coffee, and you would just die in


    your sleep. Obviously, you should still thank Mr. Goldstein. If he hadn’t appeared, it would be


    impossible for me to kill you in such a humane manner.”


    After a brief pause, he continued, “Based on my n, I was going to sever your limbs, dig your eyes


    out of their sockets, and cut your tongue before exiling you to one of the southern cities. You might still


    live on for many years, but it would be a fate worse than death.”


    The bitterness of Geoffrey’s words shocked Jonathan, let alone Seamus.


    What sort of hatred is he harboring to drive him to such cruel lengths?


    “Why?” Seamus gave Geoffrey a deathly stare. “I groomed you and even treated you like my own son.


    Give me a reason.”


    “Your son?”


    Geoffrey gradually strode up to Seamus.


    “Did you really think that you saved me back then? Those men were in cahoots with me, and it was all


    a charade to trick you, you fool.”


    The revtion dumbfounded Seamus.


    “A charade… Your body was covered by countless cuts left by a sword. You would have died if I hadn’t


    rescued you back then. How can you still call it a charade?”


    “Only with real wounds can I truly gain your trust,” Geoffrey sneered.


    “My father was When Lowe, intelligence chief of Avenport. Two years ago, you massacred him and


    all his rtives in a power struggle. After the fact, you pretended to be surprised. I sure you haven’t


    forgotten about it?”


    “When Lowe…” Seamus’ eyes opened wide in shock as the face conjured up in his memory


    superimposed on the young man in front of him. “You’re When’s son? How is that possible? I do not


    doubt that I killed his son.”


    “That was my elder brother,” Geoffrey replied through his gritted teeth.


    “My father once abused hispany position to obtain a fortune through corrupted means. In order to


    avoid detection, he tampered with my mother’s pregnancy report. Back then, my mother was carrying


    two babies, but only one was recorded to be born. As for me, I was raised in a different family.”


    “Twins? But you don’t look like the other person—”


    Jonathan interjected before Seamus could finish, “It’s normal for fraternal twins not to resemble each


    other.”


    Turning his attention to Geoffrey, Jonathan pointed at the safe deposit box behind thetter.


    “Just now, I used my spiritual sense to probe its contents and found two brick-like objects underneath


    the memory chip. If you hadn’t told me about them, I would have assumed they were the concrete


    shelves within the safe deposit box and fallen into the trap. Therefore, I must admit I owe you a debt of


    gratitude. To repay you, I’ll give you an opportunity to make a wish. I’ll definitely fulfill it if it’s within my


    capabilities to do so.”
