"He’s starting to y with me. Were there any traces?" He asked Maxwell.


    "Not at all," Maxwell replied.


    Xavier could hear Maxwell type away on his keyboard before thetter added, "Although...." Maxwell drawled, still typing. When he found what he was looking for, he zoomed in on hisputer. "He did leave a mark on the back of a girl whose throat was slit. It says <i>I’m</i>."


    Not only Xavier but Maxwell frowned when he read the word.


    "It only says <i>I’m?" </i>Xavier asked, confusion evident in his tone.


    "That’s right..." said Maxwell, his tone mirroring Xavier’s. "Thest trade we went to, we couldn’t find him there, which only means that he’s in hiding now that you know he’s running the human trafficking organization."


    Xavier’s fist clenched by his side, resisting the urge to hit it on a wall.


    "For the past few days, there haven’t been any trades, just more kills. He always leaves his name on a piece of paper. It’s like he’s changed the organization’s operations just to get your attention," Maxwell added. "Xavier..." he called, hearing no response from the other side of the line. He checked his phone to make sure the call was still connected, and it was.


    "Inform me immediately if there’s any lead to his whereabouts," Xavier said.


    "Sure thing!" Maxwell responded before he hung up on the call. Immediately, he forwarded the picture of the corpse pile to Xavier, who could only feel rage as he red into his phone.


    He counted the bodies. They were twelve girls, bodies covered in blood,pletely naked with their private parts cut off.


    Xavier received another text from Maxwell, which said he shoulde to the hideout immediately if he could make it.


    He read the word that was carved on one of the bodies.


    "I’m," Xavier said the word, feeling utterly confused by it.


    "Xavier..." He snapped his head to face Selene who’d already gotten out of the car, staring at him with concern. Selene walked up to him and traced her slender fingers on his tight jawline. She gave him a small smile, "Let’s go inside."


    Selene could feel from his tense body something heavy had just dropped.


    Selene chose not to bring up the issues she had with her family anymore. Not long after, Xavier left for the hideout, having already tucked Selene into bed.

    <i>At the Harrison mansion, </i>


    Amelia walked towards her save which she had been keeping all the money Jack was able to steal from thepany. Shoving the money aside, she picked up a bottle that had the name Polonium-210 written on it.


    She smirked as she picked up the bottle, poured some of the content into a teacup, closed it shut, and kept it back into the save.


    Amelia picked up the spoon beside the tea cup and stirred the content to blend well with the tea.


    When she was done, she came out of the room and headed towards Robert who was in the living room with Jack, watching business news.


    "Here’s your tea," she said, handing the tea over to him, which Robert took from her and gulped down the content without hesitation.


    "Father, the thieves who stole the ten million dors have finally been caught. I fired them and sent them to jail," Jack informed all of a sudden.


    "And the money?" Robert asked, relieved the thieves were caught.


    "The money had been sent back into thepany’s ount and everything had been settled, father," Jack replied. "Although there’s this document I want you to sign." Jack handed Robert a document.


    "What’s in this document?" Robert asked since his eyesight had deteriorated. He needed sses but didn’t bother to ask Amelia to give him one since he trusted Jack.


    "It’s an approval of partnership with anotherpany," Jack replied.


    Since Jack had been in charge of thepany, Robert hadn’t heard anyints from any of the shareholders, which only meant that thetter was running thepany well. He had no reason to doubt him.


    Jack handed Robert a pen to sign the document.


    After signing the document, Robert returned the document to Jack. "You’ve done well son. When this is all over, I might just step down for you to take over thepany," he said proudly, his eyshes suddenly growing heavy, and then he slumped on the couch.


    The mother and son duo grinned when Robert slept off.


    "We finally got what we wanted, mother."


    "Let’s go celebrate, I will invite your father," said Amelia, and together, they both left Robert to sleep on the couch.


    A few minutester, a servant walked into the living room. She looked around to be sure she was the only one before she pulled out the syringe and took a sample of Robert’s blood.


    "This should be enough," she muttered as she stared at the blood sample.


    She pocketed the sample and left as if she’s not been there.
