"She said she would, but I don’t want to sit around and do nothing," he replied. The image of Jenifer suddenly appeared in his mind, and he instantly shook his head.


    Whenever he looked into her eyes, he would feel an undeniable pull toward her as if she was someone he had known for a long time. He’d tried searching his memories in case she was someone he knew about in the past, but he remembered nothing.


    "But I don’t want to sit around her and do nothing simply because there was some spy in my team." Going after his father would have been the best option, but everything they’d mentioned around the table had just been intuitions. It would be better if Mr. Wace slipped up by himself and they caught him. Besides, Anastasia was yet to be found. If Xavier confronted him, he might go ahead and hurt Anastasia.


    "Jennifer is going on a mission to deal with one of the people that’s close to Xander. Would you like to join her?" Tracie suggested. Although it wasn’t nned, she was d she said what they heard.


    Since she couldn’t tell Xavier he’d already met with his wife, might as well get him near her and find out by himself.


    "What?" Ezekiel asked, confusion etched on his face.


    "Jennifer is going to Xattlewood in the next few days to take out an enemy close to Xander. If you’re interested, the both of you can go together and you can get to know the people that Xander deals with. Hopefully, if they’re willing to reveal anything about him, you can have leverage over him," she exined.


    Xavier gave it some thought before he epted the offer.

    Anastasia was all ready for the night. After going through her murder lists, her gaze fell upon a certain name, Mr. Steven, the man who’d checked her up at the hospital for any diseases a few days before she was taken to the factory.


    She’d wanted to keep him as thest person, but her blood was itching to see his reaction after she revealed her true identity to him.


    Anastasia was ecstatic about tonight, but there was only one thing. Xavier wasing along.


    She subtly red at Tracie who was munching on some cake for suggesting such a thing.


    When Tracie had informed her about it, she’d wanted to reject the whole idea, but her heart had betrayed her by wanting to spend some time with him.


    Tracie noticed Anastasia’s re and made eye contact with her. With cake stuffed in her mouth, making her cheeks all puffy, she asked, "What?"


    Anastasia sighed but didn’t respond.


    All she needed to do was make sure she didn’t slip and say something she would regretter in the presence of Xavier.


    When they were done, they left the house and met Xavier waiting outside.


    The sun was only setting as it was still dusk. They needed to leave early since they couldn’t board a ne and alert Xander, so they had to take a secret route to Xattlewood that had been suggested by Julian.


    A few hourster, they arrived at Xattlewood.


    Both Xavier and Tracie were shocked to see that a city with such serene beauty was riddled with crime. The streetlights cast a breathtaking glow over the nearly deserted streets, creating an eerie contrast to the reality lurking beneath. To think this was the least suspicious ce they had chosen to sneak into—Tracie couldn’t help but wonder what might have happened if they had taken the ne instead.


    Would Xander order the pilot to intentionally crash the ne?


    "Let’s go," Anastasia said, getting their action.


    Anastasia had been keeping tabs on Mr. Steven for the past few days, and surprisingly, he had a busy schedulepared to Mr. Russell who was a renowned politician.


    Mr. Steven was operating on a patient and would be finishing his workte today.


    "So what exactly do I have to do?" Xavier asked when they reached the hospital.


    "You will be the one to drive us out of here once we have the nasty doctor in the car," Tracie replied as they got out of the car.


    She was wearing a mask, simr to the hospital nose mask and Xavier was wearing one too, not only because they needed to hide their identity from Xander, but because they might run into someone which would only cause them trouble.


    They were dressed casually like normal people who were only trodding in to get themselves checked.


    Anastasia gave Xavier a look before they went into the hospital.


    Meanwhile, Xavier couldn’t help but have an unknown feeling like something was about to happen.
