Aiden knew that Charlie’s request for help was just an excuse to meet, so he agreed.
After hanging up the phone, he went to the laboratory.
Jeffrey curled up on the floor, his face as pale as paper. The wound on his neck burst open, and the
blood dyed the gauze red.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, he struggled to open
his eyes.
Seeing Aiden, he felt like he saw a savior. “Help… Help me.”
He had always been the one who poisoned others before and had always thought that the poison
wasn’t strong enough.
Now that it was his turn to be poisoned, he suddenly realized how horrible it felt.
His chest felt hot as if it was being roasted at high temperature. The abdominal cramps were also
unbearable. The pain was worse than death.
Aiden squatted down and looked coldly at Jeffrey, whose facial features were contorted in pain.
“If you want to live, then give me the information.”
Jeffrey grabbed Aiden’s trouser leg and said with difficulty, “Even if I am a criminal, you can’t throw my
life away like this!”
Criminals also had human rights and the right to seek medical treatment.
“Do you deserve human rights?” After Aiden said that, a cold–blooded smile flashed in his slightly
narrowed eyes.
“Oh, I forgot. You don’t know that you are already dead.”
Aiden showed him the news that said “Jeffrey” had fallen down the stairs and died, and his body had
been cremated.
When Jeffrey saw that he had been “dead,” he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Since he was already “dead,” no one would know if Aiden killed him now.
When Aiden saw that Jeffrey had no desire to live, he said, “No one will know if you are dead, but no
one will know if you are alive, either.”
If a person found hope in a desperate situation, he would grasp it at all
costs.

As expected, Jeffrey’s lifeless eyes lit up.
He tightened his grip on Aiden’s trouser leg as if he were holding on to a piece of driftwood when
drowning.
“Are you sure I can live if I tell you everything?”
That was his only chance to survive. Even if he didn’t believe that Aiden would let him go, he still
wanted to give it a try.
Aiden said affirmatively, “Of course, I never say anything that can’t be done.”
Jeffrey believed that because the Shaw family was proud of their nobility and always did what they
promised.
Jeffrey asked again, “How will I live?”
He would rather die than live in a living hell.
Aiden looked at Jeffrey mockingly. “Your information can only buy your life. How you want to live is your
own business.”
Hearing that, Jeffrey calmed down.
Even if Aiden let him go, the Shaw family would not. He wouldn’t survive at all. He had to save himself.
“Commander Shaw, I can’t escape anyway. Please detoxify me first, or I may not live to tell you all the
information.”
Aiden nodded. “I’ll ask someone to develop an antidote for you first, but whether to give it to you or not,
we will see later.”
A carrot was dangled in front of him, and Jeffrey could only be led by the nose. It was useless even if
he had recognized the reality.
Jeffrey felt like he was going to die of pain, so he nodded quickly. “Okay, I’ll exchange the information
for the antidote.”
“Just wait. I’ll ask Ceci to make the antidote for you later.”
After saying that, Aiden left.
He checked the message just sent on his phone.
Hayden had been sent to the military base.
Aiden borrowed the director’s office and got someone to guard the door. No one was allowed in.
The surveillance cameras and internet in the office were also turned off.
After confirming that there would be no risk of information leakage, Aiden made a video call to the
military base.

The video call was quickly answered, and a middle–aged man’s face appeared on the screen.
“Commander Shaw, do you want to have a video call with Hayden?”
Aiden nodded. “Yes.”
If he were not going to meet Charlie later, he would have been on his way to the military base by now.
“Wait a minute. I will go to the detention room now.”
After a while, Aiden saw Hayden with a black hood over his entire head.
Hayden had already woken up on the helicopter. After he woke up, he didn’t think about escaping
anymore. Instead, he cooperated and calmly sat on the single bed against the wall.
If he hadn’t been tied up, people would have thought he was invited there for a coffee.
As Hayden listened to the creaking sound of the iron door opening and closing and the approaching
footsteps, his heart tightened slightly.
His head was covered with a black hood, but his ears were not plugged. When he got off the helicopter,
he had guessed his situation through the brief exchange between the handover persons.
The person in charge of the military base walked up to Hayden and pulled off the black hood on his
head.
Hayden subconsciously closed his eyes when the bright light hit him. Until he got used to the light, only
he opened his eyes.
A phone screen and Aiden on the screen came into his sight.
As the commander of Peacekeeping Forces, Aiden had been interviewed several times, so Hayden
recognized him.
Plus, he was well prepared, so he wasn’t too surprised.
“Commander Shaw, I didn’t expect a small figure like me would have the opportunity to video chat with
you.”
Aiden looked at Hayden, who had a round, chubby face and showed a strong sense of friendliness,
then raised the corners of his lips mockingly. “As a shareholder of Wolf Killer, you are no small figure.”
Hearing that, Hayden’s smile disappeared instantly.
When he knew he had been brought to Acocester, he had guessed his identity was exposed. After
hearing Aiden’s words, he lost even the last

glimmer of hope.
He knew very well that it would be useless to deny, and he asked straightforwardly, “How do you know
that?”
“What do you think?”
Hayden said without thinking, “Jeffrey!”
Jeffrey was the only one who knew his identity.
He thought, “But didn’t Jeffrey fall down the stairs and die? Did he expose the organization and the
identity of the shareholders before that?”
But then he thought it couldn’t be. The four shareholders held each other’s weaknesses. If someone
betrayed the organization, his family would not survive.
Hayden couldn’t figure out where the problem was and looked at Aiden in the video with gloomy eyes.
“Do you think I will believe your provocation?” he said.
“When you see Jeffrey, you will believe it.”
Hayden’s eyes suddenly widened, and he roared in disbelief, “Is he not dead?”
If Jeffrey hadn’t died, he might have betrayed the organization because, for people like them, the lives
of their families were nothing compared to their own. Anything could be sold for a chance of survival.
Aiden looked at Hayden’s ferocious face and asked with a smile, “He is my bargaining chip to catch
you all in one fell swoop. How can he die?”
“If it’s true, then I won’t be the only one caught.”
Hayden was not stupid. He knew that Jeffrey must have some reservations. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be
secretly taken to Acocester.
Aiden made that move so as not to make another two shareholders suspicious.
After Hayden figured that out, his tense nerves relaxed significantly.
Aiden knew that people who could be the shareholders of Wolf Killer were hard to fool. Otherwise, he
would have gotten all the information out of Jeffrey.
Aiden looked coldly at Hayden, who was gradually relaxed, and said, “If I can catch Jeffrey and you,
then I can catch another two and completely eradicate Wolf Killer!”
