Chapter 1986


    "Sorry to bother you," Raiden said coolly, before he spun on his heel and led his team away from the


    mansion.


    Huff was waiting outside for him. "Did you pick up any leads from Alvis, Mr. Raiden?"

    Raiden''s face was a mask of frustration. "Do you really believe, Mr. Huff, that Alvis came to Zion for the


    so-called new energy project?"


    Huff''s expression remained unreadable. "Not sure, it''s hard to say!"


    With a piercing gaze, Raiden challenged him, "Where were you, Mr. Huff, when the 49th floor went up


    in mes?"


    "I sent people as soon as the rm went off," Huff replied evenly. "The security breach was


    unfortunate, and I will have to exin it to the Dragon Sphere."


    Before Raiden could respond, his phone rang. The moment he nced at the caller ID, his expression


    darkened, and he answered, "Boss!"


    Triceratops''s voice wasced with shock and anger. "I just heard the news. The 49th floor was


    bombed?"


    Raiden shot Huff a meaningful look and confirmed grimly, "It was."


    Knowing that all the research was destroyed in an instant, Triceratops''s anger bubbled over, and his


    voice was strained with fury. "Did you catch whoever did it?"


    "No," Raiden replied, with his brow furrowed.


    "With all the years of effort and manpower we invested into thatb, it was all blown up and you didn''t


    catch a single culprit!" Triceratops exploded. "Raiden, you''re getting more ipetent by the day!"


    They were on the cusp of achieving a breakthrough with their virus research, which would haveted


    them a fortune. Now, all that effort had gone to waste.


    "I''ll get to the bottom of this," Raiden said with a menacing edge to his voice.


    "You''d better!" Triceratops barked. "It was supposed to spread to Country C. Start by vetting every


    person from there in Zion; no one is above suspicion!"


    Raiden''s voice was icy. "Rest assured, I won''t let anyone off the hook."


    After ending the call, Raiden strode out. "What about that Re? Any updates?"


    Huff nodded. "We''ve checked it. Lambert imed she was with him all night."


    "Who was the first to enter theb?"


    Huff hesitated, andd then said, "Winston!"


    Ten minutester


    Winston stood shivering in Raiden''s office, with panic written all over his face. "It wasn''t me, I swear,


    Mr. Raiden! You have to believe me; I would never betray you!"


    Raiden leaned back in his chair, with his eyes half-closed, as if he was pondering deeply.


    Winston blurted out, "They said there were two people who blew up theb, and one of them was a


    woman. Could it be that Re, the one who hung around Lambert?"


    Raiden opened his eyes, a cold light flickering within them. "Lambert''s covering for her, and without


    evidence, we can''t touch her."


    "How did she get to the 49th floor? Don''t tell me the elevator cameras didn''t catch her?" Winston asked


    desperately.


    "No," Raiden affirmed. "Someone saw her enter through a window on the 49th floor!"


    Winston''s eyes bulged. "Impossible! How could she climb that high?"


    "All the cameras showed nothing," Raiden continued.


    "This is too strange!" Winston frowned.


    The 49th floor was essible only by Raiden''s and Winston''s fingerprints.


    A chill ran down Winston''s spine, and his face drained of color. "I don''t know. It wasn''t me!" New

    Raiden sneered. "I know it wasn''t you. You won’t have the guts to kill 116 of my men."


    Winston''s face reddened, caught between anger, shame, and the relief that Raiden didn''t suspect him.


    But he couldn''t dare speak of it in front of Raiden. He denied firmly, "No, nothing out of the ordinary."
