Chapter 1519


    Beck trailed a few paces behind Maja, taking the opportunity to fill Dn in on the news that Cynthia,


    the woman imprisoned on the ind, was still alive. Dn''s expression was a mix of surprise and


    concern as he rasped a warning.


    "Keep a close eye on her."


    By ''her'', he meant Maja.


    "Don''t worry, Dn," Beck reassured, waving him off before hastening to catch up with Maja.


    The man standing beside Dn crossed his arms, his brow furrowing in confusion.


    "Is she really your sister?"


    The awkward tension between the two was far from familial.


    Dn let out a sigh, considering his own checkered past. The fact that she wasn''t cursing him out was


    a stroke of luck in itself.


    "The Olsons really don''t care about what’s on that ind?"


    The man beside him was Abner, who had also caught wind of the secrets buried on the ind through


    his coboration with the Sanders.

    His eyes narrowed, a shadow passing over them.


    "I''m not as ambitious."


    "But you''ve got people to protect, haven''t you? You''ve seen theboratories on that ind. No one


    knows what they''re researching, or when something might hit someone you care about. The Olsons


    have a stake in Windhelm and across North America. Those looking to bring you down will naturally


    target your loved ones. My father was powerful, and now he''s bedridden. Who knows who the next


    victim of this poison will be?"


    Forbidden Ind had caused such a stir because it harbored international contraband pills. With


    ongoing research, the fear was palpable: had those illegal substances leaked out?


    Everyone was on edge, desperate to uncover the ind''s sinister truths.


    Abner seemed persuaded by this argument, leaning back casually against the wall.


    "The Olsons will continue to provide firepower support, but I''m not joining your little adventure."


    That was all Dn needed.


    He reached out a hand, his face breaking into a smile.


    "The woman under your protection must be very lucky."


    To outsiders, Abner was ruthless, having wed his way to power over the bones of others. Yet, recent


    interactions had shown Dn a different side of him.


    Clearly, the frequent texts from a certaindy brought out Abner''s brighter moments.


    When Abner was named, those who did so wished for him to survive hell.


    At Dn''sment, Abner''s face twitched with an ufortable sh.


    Maja and Beck arrived at the ind''s underground chamber by helicopter. The ce was swarming


    with international agents meticulouslybing through the area. The chamber was heavily guarded,


    Surveying the devastation, Maja grimaced. Even forewarned, the sight of the charred remains and


    scattered limbs hanging from trees was jarring. Several clean-up attempts had been made, yet


    remnants of the destruction littered thendscape.


    War was brutal.


    Remembering the passionate faces now silenced in death weighed heavily on her.


    Beck stood beside her, taking a deep breath and nearly retching.


    Beck pulled out a sanitizing wipe, took Maja''s hand, and began cleaning her fingers. Re?d at

    "If you''re not feeling up to it, we can head back right now."


    "Beck, I need to say something to my mother."


    Knowing Maja''s stubbornness, Beck conceded.


    Her world had always been silent, devoid of sound unless that man spoke.
