Chapter 458 Odalys looked at the file and frowned .
She didnt even know where his relatives or family y were ? Lee nodded gravely .
Thats right .
After we detained her and Franciss manager , we went to the address she gave us .
But when we arrived , the house was empty .
It was a rental , and a short term one at that .
It had been booked through an agent and passed along , there were no records on them The key point here is that after meeting with Simpson , she disappeared .
They never stayed there , so the woman was clearly being deceived .
They must have brainwashed her , made her fall head over heels in love with him .
We managed to get some clues through hypnosis , but now weve hit a dead end , Lee explained .
Simpsons methods are very sophisticated .
Lee continued .
Recently , there have been numerous cases like this .
W Women , deliberately seducing people to match organs for their boyfriends This was supposed to be confidential , but Lee trusted Odalys and hoped she could help .
Sticking to their investigation alone didnt seem like the best path forward .
Let me see all the materials , especially the womens files , Odalys said , becoming increasingly wary .
If Franciss situation wasnt an accident , then there were likely others out there , like him , being tricked by women and ending up dead in bizarre ways .
We have the materials , but Ill need some time to organize everything .
Ill send them to your phone once its done , Lee replied , relieved .
Odalys nodded , knowing it was a good first step .
Odalys Lee said , walking over to her , do you think this is connected to that villa in the suburbs ? Odalyss gaze shifted toward the van , and she walked up to it .
Organ trafficking , this looks like a black market operation .
Theyve even come up with this vehicle that not only removes organs but also cremates the bodies right away She walked around the van , inspecting it from all sides .
Lee remained quiet , and the others stayed at a distance , unsure of what to do .
* Send people to the four directions north , south , east , and west around Crownridge , Odalys instructed , drawing something on a piece of paper .
Lets see if these types of vehicles are parked there .
Freya peered over her shoulder , surprised by what she saw .
Wait , isnt that a diagram ? What ? The others crowded around , curious Yeah , Freya said .
Were standing in the center of this diagram right now , right ? The four directions youve drawn match the spots on this diagram Odalys nodded .
Exsetly .
Lee , have your people check these locations for any vehicles that look like this one .
Lee took the diagram from her , his usual composed demeanor giving way to a flicker of excitement .
He quickly snapped a picture and sent it off .
calling for backup .
Minutes passed in tense silence .
The four of them , still shaken by the memory of the red dressed woman , instinctively stayed close to Odalys , seeking comfort and safety in her presence Lee remained beside them , awaiting updates .
About ten minutes later , Lees phone buzzed .
He answered the call and then looked at Odalys , wide eyed .
Odalys , just as you said , we found four vehicles parked at the exact locations you mentioned .
Theyre identical to this modified van .
However , they havent dared approach yet , but we confirmed that theres no one inside the vehicles Odalys rubbed her hands together thoughtfully .
She said , Looks like I was right .
After the police sealed off that suburban villa , they couldnt find a better place .
So , theyve been forced to use these modified vans .
Theyre operating under the cover of night , when the negative energy is strongest .
And what theyre after ⦠is probably people like Francis 1/2 7:34 AM & Chapter 158 They need organs .
And Simpsons body must not be in good condition , which is why they need a transplant .
She paused for a moment , then added , You should have someone look into recent cases especially those involving people named Simpson who have had urgent organ needs or are in poor health Lee agreed .
That makes sense .
Ill have people investigate inmediately Before he could leave .
Odalys stopped him .
Dont touch the vehicles just yet .
Install surveillance or tracking devices on them first .
Lee nodded in understanding and quickly headed off .
The others stood there , still processing the information .
Selah and Freya instinctively moved closer to Odalys , holding onto her arm for reassurance .
Its alright .
Everythings under control , Odalys said , offering them a calming smile .
Freya , on the verge of tears , buried her face in Odalyss shoulder , her voice shaky .
Odalys , I was so scared ⦠I thought you werent going to make it.
Odalys chuckled softly , feeling Freya cling to her .
Despite her strength and training , she was still human , and the touch was comforting .
It felt strange , though , since she had a toned physique , but Freyas hands seemed to caress her waist more than necessary .
Odalyss lips quirked as she noticed Freyas wandering hands Stop taking advantage of me , she said with a mock scowl .
They walked back into u the hotel after Odalys closed the van door .
When they returned to their room , they found the bodyguards unconscious but otherwise unharmed .
You can go back now , Stellan said , sensing a headache coming on .
Francis , however , remained silent , his unease palpable as he fidgeted in place .
Odalys noticed his discomfort and pulled out a talisman .
Here , she said , handing it to him .
Francis froze , staring at the talisman she offered .
He reached for it with trembling hands , gripping it tightly as though afraid it might vanish .
Its alright now , Odalys reassured him .
This wasnt a coincidence .
After your manager was sent away , youve been under constant watch .
Francis nodded , absorbing the words .
He had heard the conversation between Odalys and Lee earlier , and it confirmed everything he had feared .
He felt dry in the throat , unable to put into words the discomfort he was feeling .
Dating had nearly cost him his life .
Now , he was still in danger .
unsure when it would all end .
You can focus on your work , Odalys said gently .
Il paint a protective talisman for you .
She opened her canvas bag and pulled out some magic dust .
The others eagerly held out their hands like children waiting for their teacher to draw a little red mark on them .
