Chapter 164

At the base, chaos had already erupted.

Judy was dead, her throat slashed open with a single, fatal strike. The attack had been so swift that she died on the spot.

The killer–aman assigned to guard her–was quickly restrained by other hase personnel.

But before Sean Jasper even arrived, the killer began bleeding from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth, Within minutes, he was dead.

When Sean stepped into the basement, the scene was grim.

Judy’s lifeless body lay covered by a white sheet, a massive pool of blood staining the cold floor beneathther.

Beside her, the killer’s body lay in the same blood–soaked mess, his face twisted in death.

Sean recognized him immediately–Gerald Adams, one of his trusted men at the base,

Luke, the base’s supervisor, stood next to Sean, trembling slightly.

“Sir.. Tonight, Gerald and Max were on duty. Gerald suddenly attacked judy, slashing her throat without warming. He moved so fast–straight for the kill. Maxtried to stop him, but it was too late.”

Sean’s expression was toe–cold, his gaze fixed on the horrifying pool of blood. His voice remained calm, unreadable. “The mastermind wanted to silence her ”

Cold sweat dripped down Luke’s forehead, and he suddenly dropped to his lees. “ser, please punish me!”

Sean’s tone remained steady. “It’s too late for that now. Report it to the police.”

Luke’s head snapped up. “But if we report it, we’ll be charged with illegal detention-

Sean’s sharp gaze swept over him, silencing him immediately

“I..I was the one who detained her illegally, I will turn myself in, Luke stammered.

Sean’s cold eyes shitted to Gerald’s lifeless body, his jawtightening. “What about Gerald’s family?”

Luke hesitated. “He was forty, unmarried, no children just a sick, elderly mother in her sixties”

“Where is his mother now?” Sean’s voice was tense.

Lake’s face tumed pale. “I…Sir, I’m sorry. It all happened so suddenly. I didn’t think to check-

Sean’s expression darkened, frustration seeping into his voice. “They threatened him. They must have taken his mother. Her life is probably already in danger. Luke, you’ve disappointed me.”

Luke’s head dropped lower. “Sir, I will accept any punishment you see fit.

Sean’s eyes hardened, a chilling calm settling over him. “They knew Gerald’s family situation and used his mother as leverage. That means the mastermind.”

Luke’s expression twisted with shock “Sir, are you saying

“There’s a traitor among us,” Sean stated, his voice like a blade. “As for turning yourself in, leave that to someone che,. Your priority is to find out who is behind

Luke straightened, his face serious. “Yes, sir”

In a private villa, a man in a sleek black suit bowed his head. “Mr. Sampson, the target has been dealt with.”

“Good. Well done.”

“Shall I take care of Judy’s father and Gerald’s mother as well? We can’t leave any loose ends.”

After the bodyguard len, the man picked up his phone and made an international call.

Leaving the base, Sean stepped into his car. The moment be checked his phone, he saw a sard call from Charlotte.

He usedly called her back

“Lottle, are you still awake?”
