The undercover guards surrounded Wilson and Serene. It was extremely difficult for them to escape.
Stephen was calm as always. “I trained you from the beginning to be my worthy opponent but I soon discovered that the more you grew up, the more your looks and character became similar to your father’s.”
“My father?” Wilson lost his father when he was five years old but he never knew what his father worked as and why his mother was gunned down after his father passed away.
He was brought to Stephen and raised by him since he was five years old.
Wilson was grateful toward this adoptive father of his. If it was not for Stephen, he would have died from those gunshots long ago.
“My father was from the Light Organization?”
Stephen recalled what happened years ago and said, “Your father was the chief of the undercover guards. All the undercover guards that he led were loyal to him. Your family had very good management skills and he had the characteristics of a leader. Years ago, the position of the chief of undercover guards was much higher than the position of the leader today. He was considered the deputy leader of the organization. Your father, Hudson Jarret, was my brother.”
Wilson’s eyes darkened. He had heard about all of this previously but he did not know that the deputy leader was his father…
“You were the one who sent people to kill my father?”
“That’s correct. Your father betrayed me and the organization together with 50 of his loyal assassins. Your father deserved to die!”
Anger burnt in Wilson’s eyes and he asked hoarsely, “What did my father do wrong that you needed to do that to him?! You didn’t even let my mother go! But since you wanted to kill everyone, why didn’t you kill me too?”
Stephen looked at him and smiled indifferently. “Hudson’s son was useful to me even if he only inherited half of his bloodline. If this person could be trained by me and become my follower, this small potential risk is nothing. Apart from that, you proved me right. These few years, you had become my useful fighter and helped me clear many of my obstructions.”
Wilson balled up his hands into tight fists. He amassed a huge amount of energy and it was as if he was about to attack the next second.
He stared at Stephen with anger and hatred and asked, “Weren’t you afraid that I would take revenge after I knew the truth?”
“Aret, look. Even though you know that I’m the person who killed your father, you won’t be able to do anything to me. You’re the fish on my cutting board and I can do anything to you.”
“Stephen, we’ll end this here and now.”
The undercover guards that surrounded Wilson immediately got ready, raised their guns and pointed it at him. They were ready to shoot him.
Suddenly, a loud humming noise came from the sky. A long ladder was released from the fighter plane.
Ruby crouched on the fighter plane, shot at the enemies below and dropped several smoke bombs.
“Wilson, quick!”
Wilson tied Serene onto his back and quickly climbed up the ladder.
The smoke bomb soon dispersed and the undercover guards continued shooting at the fighter plane. However, the plane soon disappeared into the clouds.
The corners of Stephen’s mouth curled up as he saw the leaving plane.
“Leader, do we need to send planes out to hunt those traitors down?”
Stephen raised his hand and ordered them, “There’s no need for that. We might not be able to catch up with them if we chase after them now. We just need to wait here.”
Wilson would definitely come back and get his revenge.
…
Ruby scolded him when they were on the jet. “Wilson, are you crazy? Do you know that you might die under those circumstances if Thompson and I did not go and save you?”
Wilson was very worried as he looked at the passed out Serene in his arms. “I don’t have so much patience to continue waiting around. It had only been a few days and Stephen had already tortured Serene to this state. Serene might have died if we went a day later.”
Thompson came out first.
Ruby quickly asked, “How’s Serene?”
Thompson swallowed his saliva and said, “Her situation is not good. Although she’s still alive, but…”
Thompson glanced at Wilson, who was still inside, lowered his voice and continued saying, “Wilson’s child is gone.”
Ruby’s eyes trembled. She quickly raised her head and looked at Wilson, who was still inside.
Wilson sat beside Serene’s bed and was holding the woman’s delicate hand. He lowered his head and seemed very depressed.
Serene’s miscarriage was a big blow to Wilson.
Thompson pulled Ruby to the balcony after he closed the door and said, “Apart from that, it's still unknown if Serene can wake up or not.”
Ruby frowned. “You worked together with Wilson yet both of you still can’t wake her up?”
“Serene wasn’t in a car accident or had cancer. We performed the surgery just now to help save her child but we failed to do so. We checked her body just now and that old man Stephen is really cruel. He injected her with a high dose of illegal medicine everyday. We still need to do research on that medication. Her internal organs are failing. Stephen’s idea must have been to use dead people as his puppet assassins.”
Ruby said, “Puppet assassins only appeared once in the unofficial history of the Light Organization 30 years ago. According to rumors, these assassins are not afraid of pain, death, and do not feel anything. They are like the walking dead. As time passes, their body will decay as if their bodies are corpses. Hence, the people who control the puppet assassins will dip them in potions to stop their body from decaying and protect their combat ability.”
Thompson had goosebumps all over his body after he heard this. “That’s disgusting! What’s the difference between them and zombies?! Old man Stephen is really evil!”
Ruby frowned and said, “We’ve saved Serene but I’m afraid that Stephen will get his hands on more innocent people.”
“We need to stop this old man!” Ruby’s eyes darkened. “We need to quickly form our alliance with the Dark Organization.”
