When he regained consciousness, his hands were tied and his whole body hung from a ceiling beam.
Only by standing on tiptoe did he manage to keep his balance.
It was exhausting to maintain this posture.
The pain in his arms was unbearable, and he suspected his shoulder would soon be dislocated.
His armpit would also be bruised in no time.
Still, he chuckled.
This method of torture was often used by the military.
âWhat are you laughing about?â a deep, male voice asked.
Kyson glared at him.
It was the same masked man he had seen before he passed out.
The man leaned leisurely against a wooden pillar.
Kysonâs gaze was calm and steady.
He smiled.
âIam wondering what I have done to offend the National Security Bureau.
Why did you capture me?â
The masked man moved closer and got straight to the point.
âRecently, a sample of the $404 virus went missing from our lab.
We checked the records and discovered that you visited the lab half a month ago.
â
Kyson was unconvinced.
âMany people visit that lab.
Why do you only suspect me?â
âBecause on the day you invited Lucinda to the Samsara Bar, someone actually use
d that bottle of S404.
Do you still maintain that it has nothing to do with you?â
Kyson frowned.
âHow did you get that information?â
The man removed his mask and revealed Nathanielâs handsome but fierce face.
Kyson stared in shock.
âYou? How did you get hold of this mask? Are you? No, I donât believe it.
How could you be the head of the National Security Bureau?â
Kyson had sensed something strange about Nathaniel.
When he had him investigated, Nathanielâs file was too clean.
He knew something wasnât right, but still, he hadnât expected this.
Even in Kysonâs wildest dreams, Nathaniel couldnât be the leader of the National Security Bureau, or could he?
Nathaniel narrowed his eyes and observed Kysonâs changing expression as the truth dawned on him.
Seeing the shocked expression on Kysonâs face, Nathaniel said, âSo you stole S404 because you wanted to hurt Lucinda, not because you discovered my identity.
You pretended to love her when you really intended to destroy her with the virus.
â
