Justin had his reasons to suspect Christopher.
Ever since he reconnected with Bella, Justin quietly launched a thorough investigation of Christopherâs
ties with his family, his standing in Savrow, and his past endeavors in Sentania.
Naturally, with Christopherâs shrewdness, it was challenging to access such highly confidential
information. Despite his business listings in real estate and gambling, his connection with the
underworld figures in Sentania revealed that it was a cover-up for his shady business.
However, he was well-connected and had strong cooperation with. officials and businessmen in
Sentania, shielding him from scrutiny.
Thatâs why his business was able to grow in scale in recent years while maintaining a flawless
reputation.
More importantly, he also has close connections in Terranova. It was rumored that his influence
extended into both the military. governmental circles.
That was why Justin believed that Christopher had the cap secretly send information to Terranova and
dispatch people them without detection amidst the chaos.
Even if the Salvador family and Thompson family were to investig what good would it do when they
couldnât even find their bodies? would be a case without any leads.
Asher noticed Justinâs unusual expression and asked, âHave you figured out who might be responsible
for this?â
Justin took a deep breath and said âThis is not the time to discuss that. Letâs address our current issue
first.â
Accusing Christopher directly in front of Asher was out of the question, as it would make him appear
like he was defaming his rival without evidence, damaging his own reputation.
âSomething seems off. You definitely know who sent those people, donât you?â Asher pushed further,
creating an intense, silent standoff between him and Justin.
Asher and Bella were siblings and shared similar temperaments. Both were individuals who pursued
things to the end and insisted on thorough investigations.
The opposing forces realized that, despite their limited firepower, Asher and Justinâs shots were
precise, so they hesitated to approach.
Justinâs grip on the gun tightened as he spoke. âI canât say for sure if theyâre associated with the
Terranova underworld. But Iâm almost certain that they have ties to Terranovaâs military.â
Asher felt confused about what Justin meant when sudd person shouted at them through a megaphone
in broke
South Island is an important military base for our nation you to put down your weapons, stop resisting,
and surrende we wonât hesitate to shoot!â
âItâs the military.â Asherâs eyes narrowed. He never imagined that chasing a mere fugitive would alert
Terranovaâs military. âWho exac was Winston?â
Justin clenched his teeth, his thin lips slightly lifting as he murmured to himself. âWell, itâs just as I
expected.â
âChristopher, is it really you?â Justin thought.
The voice on the other side shouted again. âHurry up and surrender your weapons! I guarantee youâll
be treated humanely.â
The air on the island was originally damp and sultry. At this moment, with the imminent crisis looming,
the falling raindrops seemed to turn into ice.
âDonât pay attention to his nonsense.â Asher remained vigilant, with a fierce look in his eyes that had
been dormant for years. âBelieve me or not, stepping out now will lead to inhumane treatment. Iâve
heard too much of this sly talk before.â
Justin was momentarily stunned, staring at Asherâs cold and ruthless face with astonishment. It
appeared that Asher had gone through some remarkable experiences in the past.
Suddenly, Justinâs ears perked up as he heard footsteps app ching on the grass. He cautiously lowered
his voice and said, âThe getting closer. Iâll dash to the left soon to divert their atten take the others and
head toward Winstonâs hideout!â
âNo! I canât just leave you!â Asher refused firmly and without any hesitation.
Justin cautioned. âIf we both get caught here, youâll regret those words.â
