Chapter 398


    Despite Ava’s many efforts, no information about the antidote was found. Now, they could only hope in


    Thomas.


    He thought maybe Ben would know about the Phoenix Collective, so he went to find Ben.


    Upon mentioning Harrison, Ben narrowed his eyes and smirked contemptuously. “It seems we were too


    lenient with Harrison before. I didn’t realize he was involved with such a secretive organization. I’ve


    heard of the Phoenix Collective but didn’t pay much attention to it. It looks like I underestimated them.”


    This isn’t the Phoenix Collective. It’s more like hell,” Eason said, raising an eyebrow.


    “We’ll have to start with Harrison then. I want to see just how capable the Phoenix Collective really is,”


    Ben said confidently.


    As they were discussing their n of action, Thomas suddenly said, “I’ve figured out the form for the


    poison. I finally know what the unknown ingredient is.”


    Everyone rushed to Thomas’s side. “Now that we know the form, we can develop the antidote. We


    should have results within a week.”


    After saying that, everyone was extremely excited. Ben looked at Susan and smiled. Susan also smiled


    at Ben.


    Theresa ran over and hugged Thomas, saying. You’re amazing. Then she kissed Thomas.


    Thomas was taken aback and a bit confused. After a moment, Thomas said to Theresa, “Do that again,


    I didn’t quite feel it.” Blushing. Theresa replied. “Feel what? Just go and make the antidote. Hurry up


    and develop it.”


    “Alright, alright, I’m on it,” Thomas said, giving Theresa a quick kiss before leaving.


    A mix of


    Theresa watched him go, helplessness and happiness on her face.


    Holding Judith’s hand, Susan said, “Look, the antidote will be ready soon. Your father will be fine.”


    “Yes, thank goodness for all of you,” Judith said, looking around the room with a relieved smile.


    The more Ben investigated the Phoenix Collective, the more shocked he became. As Eason had said,


    it was like hell.


    The Phoenix Collective was developing a toxic gas with devastating effects,parable to a nuclear


    bomb, a threat to all–countries.


    In addition, they also had a drug development center, smuggling, and drug trading, which were not


    good things.


    They also owned several legitimatepanies, dominating various industries.


    What shocked Ben even more was discovering Timothy, presumed dead, was actually with Harrison.

    Chapter 398


    Using the name King, Ben shared the Phoenix Collective’s actions with world leaders. They needed


    global unity tobat it.


    Soon, Tonico received invitations from various world leaders to discuss eliminating the Phoenix


    Collective. After a meeting, countries began to take action.


    Before long, severalrge enterprises quietly went bankrupt, and the drug and toxic gas factories were


    raided.


    Realizing his enterprise was inexplicably targeted by the government, Harrison knew it was over. “You


    can go. You’re not one of us and you can still escape.” But before he could finish, the police arrived and


    arrested everyone.


    Timothy didn’t try to defend himself, as he had nothing left to hold onto.


    In the hospital, Thomas excitedly ran to the ward, announcing, “The antidote has been developed. I’ll


    administer it to Mr. Nichs first.”


    Everyone stared fixedly at Thomas.


    “Done. It was hard to focus with all of you staring at me like that, Thomas said, half–jokingly.


    Seeing Eason about to speak, Thomas quickly said, “He won’t wake up immediately. He’s too weak. It’ll


    take some time.”


    Ben, feeling relieved that things were settling down, suddenly remembered Timothy. Though he didn’t


    want to bring him up, he thought it might affect Susan to know he died in front of her.


    “Timothy didn’t die, but he got involved in some activities of the Phoenix Collective because of


    Harrison. So, he’s been arrested,” Ben said.


    “It doesn’t matter to me whether he’s dead or alive. His life is his own,” Susan said, though deep down,


    she felt a sense of closure, remembering how he had fallen in front of her,


    A few dayster, Alexander had fully recovered.


    With his mission aplished, Thomas decided to leave with Theresa.


    “We’ve been here for quite a while, and Mr. Nichs is fine now. Theresa and I n to explore Tonico a


    bit, so we won’t disturb your family reunion. Thomas said.


    “It’s not a disturbance at all. But since it’s your first time in Tonico, let me arrange some sightseeing for


    you. Eason offered hospitably.


    “No need, we prefer exploring on our own, Theresa quickly replied.


    “Yeah, don’t interrupt our alone time,” Thomas cheekily said.


    Theresa red at him with a red face.


    “Alright, alright, we won’t be third wheels,” Susan said, grateful for their help but knowing that thanks


    were not enough to express her gratitude.

    After they left, the family returned to the pce.


    “I want to include you in our family registry. Would that be okay?” Alexander asked Susan cautiously.


    Eason and Judith also looked at Susan expectantly.


    Seeing their hopeful eyes, Susan couldn’t refuse and agreed. “But let’s skip any ceremony. I still n to


    return to Cornd. After all, that’s where my home is.”Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.


    Finishing her statement, Susan looked at Ben, who gazed back at her affectionately, touched that she


    referred to Cornd as her home.
