Chapter 404
“What?” Abel goggled at him in shock. Sophia actually has a twin brother? It means that Cooper actually
has a son! His daughter is already such an incredible person with unusual talent; his son might even be
better to the point of amazing the whole world!
Michael exined calmly, “I sent some men over to investigate my mother-inw’s life before she died,
thinking that we’d be able to find some clues about Cooper. I noticed that she was very close with a
nurse in the hospital where she stayed while waiting to deliver her baby before she died.
Later on, I found out that my mother-inw was pregnant with fraternal twins back then. There was
another boy who had been taken away by that nurse after he was born. The nurse gave the boy to her
distant rtives who were infertile. After that, the couple went overseas and cut all contact with the
nurse.”
It wasn’t clear whether the nurse did that because she felt sorry for the boy since she knew he would
probably be used as a pawn by the Johnson Family to ckmail Joe after he was born or if she did that
for her own personal gain.
ording to Michael’s investigation, the couple were highly educated but they were unable to have
children on their own. After they got the boy twenty years ago, they immigrated in a hurry and severed
all connections with their previous contacts to avoid any trouble when they found out the boy they got
was from an unknown, illegal source. Even Michael didn’t know where exactly the couple were now!
Abel stopped what he was doing too.
The Coopers’ genes were simply incredible; it was amazing enough to have one Sophia around.
Supposedly, that boy grew up in a rather wealthy environmentplete with the basic necessities since
he had been adopted by a highly educated family.
He must’ve been well-educated and nurtured in a sophisticated way by his adoptive parents since young.
In that case, he would definitely be a lot more incredible than Sophia! If Cooper didn’t appear, the
Mitchell Family would probably have another two Coopers!

“Have you told Sophia?”
“No, I haven’t. I want to wait until I find him first before I tell her; I don’t want to repeat the same mistake I
didst time.”
After busying himself the entire day and night, Michael went back to his room to take a nap. He still
needed to visit Sophia at the hospital in the afternoon.
Abel volunteered himself bravely to ept the mission of finding Cooper’s missing son.
Michael woke up in the afternoon after a refreshing nap. After settling several other matters, he went out
again and headed toward the hospital.
Much to his surprise, his wife had disappeared only after a short while. The hospital staff informed him
that Sophia had been taken away by a bunch of troops.
Before Michael could ask the staff what kind of troops they were, Old Master Fletcher called him. The old
man immediately scolded him furiously as soon as he answered the call.
“I’m confiscating the young girl. From now on, she’ll stay with me! Look at what you’ve done!” Click! Old
Master Fletcher hung up the phone directly without considering Michael’s feelings—he didn’t even listen
to Michael’s exnation.
Michael shook his head. As he expected, Old Master Fletcher still liked Cooper the best!
However, the nursing home in the militarypound was rather a great ce to stay. The medical
facilities there were well-equipped and safe. Hence, Michael thought it would be good to let her stay in
the nursing home for a while.
However, nobody even told him about it when such a big matter like his wife being taken away had
happened. It seemed like there were some betrayers around him—Nathan, to be exact.
Michael had been quite busy recently, so he used film masks whenever he could while filming on set; he
didn’t even have the time to visit Sophia at the hospital.
He initially thought that it would be very safe for Sophia to stay in Old Master Fletcher’s ce, but he
never expected that Old Master Fletcher would do something which caused him to blow his top.
Sophia had been taken away by Old Master Fletcher to the nursing home in the militarypound; the
old man and Woody came to visit her when they passed by daily, and Nathan had also been staying at
Old Master Fletcher’s ce too. He went to the hospital in the morning and left at night every day.
The nursing home was located within the militarypound. Ever since Michael left the Fletcher Family,
he never went into the militarypound again.
So, it was certain that he would note to visit her at the hospital. After taking a few days of rest in the
nursing home, Sophia video-called Michael.
It seemed like Michael was abroad at the moment; he appeared tan with a visible sunburn. He wore
heavily-torn clothes which appeared to be his costume, and his face was covered in traces of blood and
some dirt. His entire face looked really miserable with all the blood, dirt and sweat blended together.
Evidently, his makeup looked extremely realistic.
“Where are you?” Sophia studied the background in the video curiously.
Michael replied, “I’m filming in Africa.”
Wow, my Lord is really professional. It must not be easy filming at a ce like Africa! His costume and
makeup look very realistic too!
Sophia felt a bit sorry for Michael. “You have to be careful then.”
Michael nodded. Before he could say anything else, a few gunshots were heard from his back followed
by some dialogueced with heavy ents of a localnguage, making it odd and difficult to understand.
The voice sounded very scared.
There were a few lines of dialogue in the Cethosiannguage that were heard in the voice. “I’ll blow your
brains out if you don’t tell me! Hurry up, tell me!”
The background sounded quite noisy, and Sophia became excited instantly. “Are you guys in the middle
of filming? Quick, let me see it! Let me see it!”
Michael turned the camera around and filmed the acting scene obediently. Soon, Sophia saw some kind
of ghetto-like ce as it appeared in the video. Several ck actors were forced to kneel down on the
floor. Harry held a gun and pressed it against an actor’s brain. He was threatening the actor with
something fiercely, looking very furious.
There were quite a number of staff in the production crew; all the costumes, props and settings looked
very realistic too. The movie looked like a high-budget production indeed!
Noticing that Michael was filming him, Harry waved at the phone camera and said, “Hi, Daddy!”
The screen swept through quickly. Soon, Michael switched back into selfie mode; Sophia could only see
his suntanned face instead.
“There’s a scene I need to shoot right away. I’ll be hanging up first.”
“Oh, okay. Stay focused on your filming; everything’s fine around here. I have peopleing to visit me
every day. Look, there are so many presents and flowers here!”
Sophia turned her phone camera around too. Michael saw a bunch of flowers, tonics and fruits piled up
around one corner of the single VIP ward. Nathan was sitting beside the pile of fruits, choosing one to
eat.
Sophia hung up the video call before Michael had the time to look closely at the presents.
After he put away his cell phone, Abel walked toward him with a serious face.
“The man confessed; they are the ones who manufactured the batch of stimnt injected by Ka. I’ve
got the sales record. As expected, the Phantom Wolf was one of their buyers. Besides, they are long-
term business partners of the Phantom Wolf, and they’ve been supplying different types of drugs to the
Phantom Wolf in a long-term manner.”
The type of stimnt injected into Ka’s body by the Phantom Wolf had been manufactured in a drug-
producing location hidden here; it was a ghetto area in a vige of Africa.
After an aggressive bust by the Cethosian government, all the drug syndicates who used to gather
around the Southwest border of Cethos had moved their base elsewhere; one of them was hidden here
in a vige in Africa, and this ce produced the most effective and purest stimnt in the world.
Michael read through their sales record. Apart from the Phantom Wolf, the buyers included governments
of several countries that excelled in sports.
Unfortunately, the Phantom Wolf’s leader was very good at hiding; it would be rather difficult to track him
down. He was very cautious even when he was purchasing the drugs, and had disappeared without a
trace ever since that incidentst time.
After going through those records, Michael raised his gun and shot the leader’s head. Blood sttered
all over the floor.
If the information was correct, the man was one of the descendants of a drug lord who escaped from the
Southwest border of Cethos.
“Get rid of thempletely.” Michael went into the car and left after giving out the order.
Abel looked at those people involved in the drug manufacturing process as they kneeled on the floor, not
having the slightest bit ofpassion in his eyes. If he let them go today, they would definitely find
another ce to establish their new drug-manufacturing location within a month. With no one there to
govern them, their ‘products’ would be sold everywhere all over the world; countless families would be
destroyed because of the drugs they produced…
After busting the drug-manufacturing base, Harry and Michael left together in one car.
On the way, Harry said suddenly, “Fass, the man you guys suspected to be Cooper before this, has a
mining business in Africa. It seems like his castle is not very far away from here; he’s the uncrowned king
of Africa. Perhaps we should pay him a visit?”
Putting down the sales record in his hands, Michael raised his eyebrow. Indeed, they should pay him a
visit.
When they returned to the set, the director was almost worried sick about them.
“Oh, both of you daddies—you guys are part of the main cast. Could you please stop running around in
your costumes like that? I beg of you!”
