as swiftly subdued and rendered unconscious.
As Hayden was being escorted into the helicopter, Aiden received a message from Hestrya’s police
chief.
After reading it, he promptly displayed the text message to Jeffrey.
“Are you absolutely certain that you’re still unaware of anything? When Hayden is transferred to
Acocester, do you believe you’ll still be useful?”
After reading Aiden’s message, Jeffrey dismissed its authenticity entirely.
He fully acknowledged that his capture stemmed from his arrogance and impatience, causing him to
underestimate Cecilia and Aiden’s capabilities.
However, Hayden was not one to repeat Jeffrey’s mistake.

Hayden was an exceedingly cautious individual, evident from his flawless track record, despite the
precarious nature of his activities, where he operated under the guise of an innocent civilian while
engaging in illicit pursuits.
Thus, someone as meticulous as Hayden could not be captured so effortlessly.
Jeffrey was convinced that the message was merely a tactic designed to intimidate him.
Jeffrey averted his gaze from the phone screen. “Commander Shaw, do you take me for a fool? Do you
truly expect me to buy into such a crude deception?”
Aiden pocketed his phone and chuckled..
“Frankly, I don’t find you particularly astute. If I managed to locate Hayden, there’s no way I’d let him
slip through my fingers. You’re about to learn the true meaning of ‘dog eat dog.”
If Hayden discovered that Jeffrey had exposed him, retaliation would undoubtedly follow.
When that moment arrived, Aiden could simply sit back and benefits.

With this notion firmly planted in his mind, Aiden did not see the need to linger any longer. He cast a
mocking glance at Jeffrey before exiting the laboratory.
As he reached the door, he specifically instructed the security details, “He is not permitted to drink
water, eat, sleep, or come into contact with any potions.”
Upon hearing this, Jeffrey exclaimed in excitement, “My poison hasn’t been cured yet! I must concoct
an antidote!”
Failing to do so would mean he would endure excruciating pain and eventually succumb to death.
Aiden turned his head and smiled casually. “That’s not my concern. If you perish, I still have Hayden.”
With that, Aiden strode away.
Jeffrey was suddenly gripped by panic.
“What if Aiden truly captured Hayden? What if Hayden, under pressure, reveals our organization’s
secrets first? What will become of me?” Jeffrey fretted.

Aiden keenly perceived Jeffrey’s inner turmoil. However, he was not inclined to address it.
His focus was on more immediate concerns.
He needed to craft a believable excuse for Hayden’s arrest and think of a strategy to stabilize Wolf
Killer.
Failure to do so would make it exceedingly challenging to apprehend the remaining two shareholders.
Aiden acknowledged that if the shareholders escaped arrest, dismantling Wolf Killer’s operations would
be in vain, as they could simply establish another base.
Reflecting on this realization, Aiden made up his mind to discuss the issue with Charlie.
He understood that their alliance could achieve far more significant results.
Charlie was in the process of claiming “Jeffrey’s” body at the morgue when he received the call.
The body had been covertly replaced with a dummy, and his sole task now was to ensure the dummy
was cremated without raising suspicion. He answered the phone and inquired, “Aiden, is there
something urgent?” Having made his statement, he deliberately turned to the morgue official and said,
“I’ll sign this first. Afterward, I need to provide you with the consent form from the police station,
correct?”
Aiden, recognizing Charlie’s current location in the morgue, responded, “There’s nothing urgent.
Proceed with your task. I’ll contact you once you’ve finished.”
“Okay, bye.” Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
Charlie efficiently completed the necessary formalities for claiming the body and instructed the funeral
home staff to transfer it to the hearse for cremation.
“Wait a minute. I need to use the restroom.”
As anticipated, he encountered Aiden, who had grasped his implication, in the restroom.
