    Hansel didn’t know why Jensen suddenly wanted to return to Hades Pharmacy, but he nodded anyway.


    The two of them rushed back-only to find the ce locked up tight.


    “Where is everyone? Anyone here? Witch Doctor! Come out!”


    Jensen pounded on the door like a madman, but no sound came from within. The outer gate was locked with heavy chains. He couldn’t even get through the front.


    Thinking back to what that bodyguard had said, Jensen felt something was very wrong.


    ‘Go! Alert our people. Lock down every exit of the ck market. The moment Witch Doctor’s vehicle shows up, I want a tail on him-no matter where he’s headed. And find out who that ‘Ms. Sarah’ really is.”


    There was no Ms. Sarah in all of Ocean City.


    Jensen prided himself on knowing every major figure in the city-political, military, business. But not a single nfluential woman bore that surname.


    He was beginning to feel certain now: what he’d heard wasn’t Ms. Sarah at all-it had to be Ms. Summers.


    Which meant the Witch Doctor may have saved Natalie!


    f he could just track the Witch Doctor’s movements, follow the trail, he’d uncover the truth sooner orter.


    Hansel nodded and made the call without hesitation.


    Meanwhile, Baron had already boarded his private jet and flown straight back to his vi in Murica. But the moment he saw Natalie’s condition, his expression darkened, and a sh of pure murderous intent burned in his


    eyes.


    ‘Yvonne. Before I left, didn’t I tell you to take good care of Natalie?”


    His voice was icy, devoid of warmth.


    Yvonne immediately dropped to her knees, unable to defend herself.


    Finn stepped in, trying to defuse the tension.


    “Mr. Gunn, this isn’t Yvonne’s fault. She had just received Phantom’s ashes and went to bury him. She’d arranged for someone to keep an eye on Natalie. But Natalie insisted on getting out of bed, and that’s what caused the infection. Our nurse can’t be on watch every second. Even ICU patients need to take responsibility for their own recovery, don’t they?”


    Before Finn could finish, Baron’s hand shot out.

    The sharp crack of a p echoed through the vi.


    Finn was knocked clean off his feet and crashed to the floor in front of everyone.


    The room fell deathly silent. No one even dared to breathe.


    Everyone knew Finn was Baron’s right-hand man-the second-inmand of the organization.


    For him to be pped in front of everyone, just for speaking against Natalie-this was unheard of.


    Finn sat in stunned silence, his mind nk until the dull pain began to pulse across his cheek and jaw.


    Only then did he understand what had just happened. But disbelief still filled his face.


    “Mr. Gunn… you hit me over her?”

    “If it weren’t for the years you’ve stood by my side through war and blood, I’d have greeted you with a de instead of a p.” <fn249e> ?? ??? ???? ?? ???? ???? ???????s, ????s? ??s?? FindN0vel</fn249e>


    Baron didn’t even nce his way again. He turned and calmly pulled on a sterile suit before walking into the operating room.


    Finn sat there clutching his swollen face, stunned.


    “She’s nothing but Jensen’s leftover trash. And you hit your own brother over her?”


    Shauna stepped forward quickly and pped a hand over his mouth.


    “Shut up! Are you trying to get yourself killed?”


    But Finn didn’t stop. His voice was thick with injustice.


    “Shauna, we’ve followed Mr. Gunn through life and death for years. How are we less than that woman? She nearly got him killed! And I get pped just for pointing that out?”


    “Don’t you get it yet? Mr. Gunn’s attachment to Natalie goes far deeper than we thought. We both know her condition is critical-she needs someone by her side twenty-four-seven. Yvonne did take leave, and yes, she failed to ensure proper coverage. That’s on her. Mr. Gunn is strict but fair. Don’t go asking for more trouble.”


    She helped him up roughly.


    Finn touched his aching cheek and muttered, “I just can’t stand watching Mr. Gunn throw himself into danger for


    her.”


    “Feelings aren’t something you or I can judge, Finn. Don’t test Mr. Gunn’s limits. Even if you look down on Natalie, don’t challenge his authority. You know as well as I do-Mr. Gunn didn’t rise to power by being soft.”


    “We’re his brothers. He protects us. But now Natalie… she’s everything to him. If you keep antagonizing her, what do you think he’ll do to you?”

    “You don’t really think Mr. Gunn would kill me over that woman… do you?”


    Shauna said nothing.


    Finn froze.


    Then his eyes widened in sudden realization.
