When the twins got outside, Diamond’s car was already long gone.
Without the other with them, the two brothers set off in a bad mood.
Kian wasn’t in the mood to drive, so he let Sullivan drive, as his concentration and focus were on the list that kept on changing, with more people going down as the money continued to decrease.
Kian felt guilty as he looked at the list. Diamond was indeed cruel this time.
His name was nowhere to be found. If his colleagues think the same as he did, they would even think that he was the one who exposed the list and wanted to get rid of everyone.
If there comes one who survives this ordeal, he might be in danger. This was the punishment that Diamond gave him.
To live his life in fear, and not knowing when his own men might come for him or his family, the one he wanted to protect in the first place.
If it wasn’t to protect his own, would he have poked a hornet’s nest and ended up in this mess in the first place?
Thinking about how all of this started, Kian, couldn’t help but feel guilty, ashamed, and remorseful but it was already too late for any regrets now. The deed was done, and regretting it just because he was caught, wouldn’t make him man enough.
It all started in January, and on the day that Diamond gathered everyone at her family’s house and told them about the drought issue.
At that moment, he was skeptical about the news, but knowing Diamond; he discarded his doubts and distrust and decided to trust her on this.
With how the weather has been like, without her talking about it, he could also tell that this year’s harvest might be a problem. But people were still carrying the hope that the sky might favor them and bless them with rain.
Unfortunately, until now, there hasn’t been a single drop of rain and the crops were long dead and dry because of this problem.
Droughts are very bad for everyone and yet very good for others. For organizations that seek profit above everything else, calamities, natural disasters, pandemics, war outbreaks and other unfortunate events were good money-making opportunities.
And why have a conscience when everyone else was doing it?
So, he decided to pass this wonderful news to his organization and earn some brownie points. Getting a higher rank in the organization meant more protection, prestige, and honor.
As someone who had joined the organization for over a decade, Kian was a key member of the organization, so his word wasn’t something that those in power doubted. He also didn’t dare toy with him.
When he reported this matter to the higher-ups, he reported it to the female official, the daughter of one of the top members, and he had no idea that this vixen had a thing for him.
All he wanted to do was report the information and see what the organization would do with the news.
But who would have thought that the lady knew more about him than he was letting on?
The fact that Diamond could take such good pills meant that she wasn’t an average girl. In other words, he needed to report everything about Diamond to the lady. Dig and investigate Diamond, especially regarding the surrounding alchemists, or whether she was the alchemist herself. fr eewe(b)nove.l.co\m
