"You rascal!" Cillian said, laughing. "You aren't efficient in your work, yet you have the audacity to ask me for a position?""Mr. Shields Senior, I'd be willing to never get promoted," Zeke said firmly.Cillian threw back his head and laughed as he said, "You'll have to be promoted. You've been pretending to be a corrupt official for so many years, and you must have suffered many misunderstandings. However, our country will reward those who are loyal."Zeke looked relieved."Mr. Shields Senior, what I've done is nothing compared to you." A few tears rolled down Zeke's face.He owed everything he had to Cillian, but ever since he had taken on the position of chief director at Steinberg Pharma, he had gained a reputation for being extremely corrupt.However, every penny he embezzled had been secretly submitted straight to the country's reserves, and everything he had done was so that he could complete the mission that Cillian had given him many years ago.That was only the way h
Vince was worried that Liam would beat Marius to death. If he did, then Vince would find it very hard to explain things to Cillian."Chief Weist, you're not asking me to go to the special forces team and get a special letter of interrogation, are you?"Liam's eyes had turned red. Marius was a total asshole who had almost killed Cillian. Cillian was Liam's idol, and he had even saved Wyatt's life in the past. If Liam didn't teach him a lesson, he would not be able to live with himself."Well… you're quite the jokester, Mr. Holman. Of course, we don't need a special letter of interrogation."Liam's eyes flickered when he saw Vince's awkward expression. He immediately understood. "Chief Weist, I think you've misunderstood Mr. Shields Senior's intentions. He handed Marius over to you for interrogation because the guards aren't able to torture Marius.""Mr. Holman, are you saying that…" Vince's heart jolted—what Liam was saying made sense.After all, Marius was Cillian's personal do
"Statement? You can write that when I've thought about what to ask him. Let's take a rest, everyone. We've been working all day, and you must be exhausted," Liam said and stretched. He had had an excellent day beating Marius up.If he hadn't been worried about exhausting his special forces team members, he would have continued the interrogation for another day."You'll… ask him when you've thought about it?" The special forces team members were flabbergasted.Liam hadn't even thought about what to ask, but he had tortured Marius for more than ten hours! What on earth had Marius done?The special forces team members were about to go and rest when Liam reached out and pulled out two cages from under the table."W-Why did you get two rats?" Rosalie was afraid that Liam would go overboard and kill Marius.Liam ignored her. He casually grabbed a generator-like device and connected it to a wire under the cage.Immediately, the rats began running madly in the wheel inside the cage. On
Gavin had to ensure that Sebastian remained healthy and alive.Liam narrowed his eyes as he stared at Gavin's retreating figure. He seemed to be thinking about something."What are you looking at?" Rosalie looked disdainfully at Liam and stepped a few feet away from him."I-I-I'm straight!" Liam was an intelligent man, and he immediately knew what Rosalie was thinking.Seeing that Sebastian seemed to be fine, Liam left as well.Upon hearing that Sebastian was awake, both Alexander and Cillian came to see him.Cillian was especially enthusiastic. Sebastian had not only cured him of his condition but also made him feel much younger."Sebastian, you seem to be recovering well. You look very rosy! Very good!" Cillian patted Sebastian on the shoulder, his eyes full of approval.Alexander took Sebastian's pulse and noticed that his pulse was strong and stable. He let out a sigh of relief upon confirming that Sebastian was fine.Cillian told Sebastian about what he had done with Mari
No matter how apologetic Marius was, Cillian couldn't take him in again. However, with Marius' reputation and skills, he would not find it a problem to make a living.Cillian took Sebastian's hand and led him outside. He said seriously, "Sebastian, there aren't many people as skilled as you are. I would like to leave Gavin with you so that he can learn from you."Who was Gavin? Sebastian looked at Cillian in confusion."Gavin." Cillian seemed to read Sebastian's mind, so he called to the other end of the corridor.In a flash, Gavin had appeared and seemed to materialize in front of Cillian and Sebastian."He's Gavin. He's the security team leader at the Department of Defense." Cillian pointed at him.Sebastian was confused. Cillian wanted a leader to follow him around?What a joke! Even if he agreed, where would Gavin live?He couldn't clean out the dog kennel at the entrance to the convenience store and tell Gavin to stay there, could he?"Mr. Shields Senior, how could I be
Cillian laughed heartily.That night, Cillian commanded his subordinates to buy him his favorite lamb for a barbecue party. Sebastian and Rosalie were both invited.Having a barbecue with a man like Cillian was an honor in itself. It wasn't because of how high his position was. It was because someone like Cillian, who had shed his blood for the country, commanded respect. "Sebastian, you are an extraordinary person. You're the only one of your age who is allowed to have barbecue with Mr. Shields Senior." Wyatt looked intensely at Sebastian, although inwardly, he was cursing Liam for being so mediocre.If Liam were just half as good as Sebastian was, Wyatt would no longer need to worry all the time.Rosalie's phone suddenly rang, and when she took out her phone, she saw that it was Jenna."Ms. Griffin, bad news! Our factory in the suburbs is on fire!" Jenna sounded anxious."What? The factory is on fire?" Rosalie was shocked. Pharmaceutical factories were managed very strictly
"After them!" Liam was the first one to pull out his gun and run after the men."Rosalie, go back to the convenience store at once. We'll take care of things here," Sebastian said. He watched Rosalie get back into her car and drive away before turning and saying to Gavin, "Let's go after them!"He and Gavin ran off. Sebastian wasn't confused about why a fire had started. He was confused about the men, who had looked as if they were in a hurry.Even if they had started the fire, the fire had just gotten under control, and no one was suspicious of them. Why had they run off?Sebastian was worried that this was the real trap the mastermind behind them had set. He watched the dark figures flicker in the night as they disappeared into the woods."Wait!" Gavin stopped Sebastian and Liam before they entered the woods."Wait for what? If we keep waiting, they'll escape," Liam said, frowning as he watched the figures running off.Gavin was a useless team member! Liam was confident th
However, Gavin pushed Liam out as soon as he moved."Get down and don't move!" Gavin snarled in a low voice. There were two more gunshots, and the bullets landed in the spot where Liam had been lying.Liam marveled at his narrow escape.The enemy seemed to be very experienced in battle. Liam had barely made any noise, but the enemy had immediately found his hiding place based only on hearing!Liam nodded quickly at Gavin.Time trickled by, and the woods remained very silent.Both parties seemed to be testing each other's patience. No matter which of them moved first, they would be sure to suffer a fatal attack from the other.The woods were so quiet that even their breathing could be heard very clearly.Liam swallowed. He felt very anxious."Sebastian, come out!" a man shouted from somewhere in the woods.From the sound of his voice, it seemed that they were at least several hundred feet apart."Sebastian, look who I've got!" the voice yelled viciously.Sebastian turned t
