Chapter 11


    The sun slowly set on their journey to Neveah Department Store, and while Kingsley watched the


    reversing streetscape, a thought suddenly popped into his head.“Reene, why do you want to suffer in


    silence when the Wynns treat you so horribly? With your ability, there’s absolutely no reason for you to


    bear their bullying.”“After graduating high school, I was faced with two options: college or work.” Reene


    recalled while driving. “As the eldest, I couldn’t be selfish. So I decided to work so that the girls could


    continue their studies. On the day we were supposed to fill in our college application, my now adoptive


    father, Elijah, came to me. He was an old friend of my homeroom teacher. After hearing about my story,


    he said he could fund my college fees pro bono. At that time, he was like an angel sent from the


    heavens to me, saving me from hopelessness.”Suddenly, Kingsley thought his chest felt stuffy, and he


    looked over at Reene. “No conditions attached?”“None.” She shook her head. “He was like a


    phnthropist back then. After hearing that I had a gift in business, he said he didn’t want to see a


    talent be buried because of financial problems.”“So you want to repay his kindness?” Kingsley pointed


    out.“Yes. For whatever reason he funded me in the beginning, I have to admit, he had indeed changed


    my life,” Reene exined inly. “Kindness and loathe are two different matters. I’ve sworn to either


    serve the Wynn Family for twenty years or return one hundred million to him. I thought only this way


    would I be able to repay him for saving me.”“It’s just one hundred million. I can give it to him straight,”


    Kingsley mumbled while scrolling his phone idly.“Sorry? What—”“Reene, pull over!” Reene didn’t hear


    what he was mumbling earlier, but just when she wanted to ask what he said, he suddenly shot straight


    up.He had received a message from Lancer a second ago. ‘Sighting of a Sweoyan spy.!’“What is


    it?”Startled, Reene hurriedly hit the brakes and pulled over. As soon as the car stopped, Kingsley


    jumped out and slurred, “Reene, I can’t head to the hospital anymore. Pick up Grandpa Joe for me,


    please.”“What is it, Kingsley? What happened?”“A friend needs my help.” He made a random excuse


    but seeing that his sister wanted to press on, he added, “It’s men’s stuff!”“Alright, stay safe then.” What


    else could she do but nod?It wasn’t until the red BMW drove far away that Kingsley answered Lancer’s


    call. “What’s the sitch?”“Boss, we just got word from our informant that they’ve discovered a Sweoyan


    with very suspicious movements. He’s very likely a spy.”“His identity?”“A college professor. He has


    come to Qustia to attend an academic forum.” “Catch him! I’d rather catch all than let one escape!” A


    hint of malice shed across Kingsley’s eyes as he demanded, “His exact location?”“Riverfront Road,


    house number 45 of Ivy Grove Estates,” Lancer replied. “Hades is already on his way with our men!”“I


    happen to be close by. Tell Hades to wait for my arrival.”At that, Kingsley hailed a cab and said to the


    driver, “Riverfront Road, Ivy Grove Estates, please.”Meanwhile, Hades and the group of Coliree Ind


    elites he brought along were waiting outside of Ivy Grove Estates.After arriving at where they were


    hiding, Kingsley asked, “Have you guys finished scouting, Hades?”Hades was so well hidden that he


    had practically merged with the darkness, only ever hearing his voice. “Yes, Ares. The professor is


    named Boris Oakley, a well-respected schr from the Empire of the Setting Sun. We can almost


    confirm he’s among the first batch of spies that have infiltrated. But the security in Ivy Grove Estates is


    tight. Only authorized personnel and vehicles can enter. I was deliberating if we should barge in.”“Don’t


    alert them.”With that, Kingsley devised a n and ordered, “Two in a group. Group 1, control the


    guards with sevoflurane cigarettes; Group 2, cutoff all surveince; Group 3, extraction team; Group 4,


    with me, we’re going in.”Surprised, Hades sputtered, “Ares, you’re going in?”“This is our first catch. If


    anything goes wrong, it’ll be tough for us to drag the entire chain out.”………When midnight came,


    Kingsley checked his watch and gestured to his troops. “Move out!”With that, everyone dispersed,


    merging silently into the darkness.About ten minutester, the blinking red light of the surveince


    camera not far from them suddenly switched off, and Kingsley whispered, “Alright, we’re going


    in.”When they passed by the guardhouse, the members of Group 1, who were hiding in the dark,


    gestured a ‘safe’, and Kingsley and the guys entered the premise smoothly, arriving at mansion number


    45 with no mishaps.When they arrived, one of the rooms was still lit. Clearly, Boris was still


    awake.“Hades, Is it only him in there?”“Our informant said he lives alone. No one came with


    him.”“Alright, open the door.”At that, a soldier came up and picked the lock. He worked so silently that


    nothing and no one was rmed.Every Coliree Ind elite was loaded with skills. Something like


    entering a locked space was nothing but child’s y.Click! The main door opened, and the group snuck


    into the mansion, following the light they saw outside to the study on the second floor.There was a gap


    between the door and its sill, letting light shine through to the dark corridor.While standing by the door,


    they could hear someone flipping through a book, but just as they waited with bated breaths, getting


    ready to catch their spy, a sense of bone-chilling danger crept up to Kingsley, causing the hair on the


    back of his neck to stand.N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.
