Perhaps he had been expecting too much.
As a woman, she was intelligent, capable, and a strategist for victory. Beyond that, she boldly stepped forward to fight against the dark forces. She was strong and perfect as she was why should he expect her to be anything more? Yet, seeing Alyssa’s vulnerable side unsettled him. Something tugged at his heartstrings, a deep ache he couldn’t ignore.
“I found it! I found Ms. Altman’s cell phone!”
With more manpower and better visibility as the sun rose, it didn’t take long to locate Amber’s bloodied phone.
“Ambs…”
Alyssa’s face drained of color as terror gripped her at the sight of the bloodstained device.
Jeremy, on the other hand, remained composed. He tried powering on the phone, and to their surprise, it turned on.
“What’s the password?” Jeremy asked gently, his voice steady as his gaze met Alyssa’s tear-filled eyes.
With trembling hands, Alyssa took the phone and entered Axel’s birthdate. The screen unlocked instantly.
In the photo album, they found images of documents.
Amber, wary of unexpected events, had saved a copy of the documents on her phone.
Instinctively, Jeremy leaned in, his head close to Alyssa’s as they studied the contents together.
Both proficient in Grunslandish, they read through the document with ease.
Landon, curious, peeked over their shoulders. Unfortunately, his lack of Grunslandish skills rendered the text incomprehensible to him.
“RC Biotechnology Research Institute. That’s the organization behind the human drug experiments. They’re the ones who released that drug!”
Her fiery gaze locked with Jeremy’s.
“Yeah. These photos must be of the documents Amber found at The Millenium. Jameson probably didn’t have time to take them with him and left them behind.”
“In that case,” Landon interjected, his voice anxious, “was Amber being hunted because of this?”
Alyssa’s grip on the phone tightened, her expression sharpening. “If she found this document at The
Millennium, it proves Jameson was
RC’s representative in Cyrriso en
“He likely kept this experiment report as leverage against RC. Now that Jameson and his men are dead, who else would want this document?”
The atmosphere grew tense.
All signs pointed to Justin and Sheryl. They were the only ones wary of Amber.
Jeremy’s face betrayed no emotion, but his bloodshot eyes burned with barely contained rage.
“Damn it. That darn bastard!” Landon roared, clenching his fists.
“But, there’s something I don’t understand.Alyssa took a deep breath, forcing herself to think clearly. “Why would Amber call me at such a critical moment? She’s the type to face danger alone, even if it means risking her life. She wouldn’t drag others into it.”
Jeremy’s deep voice cut through her thoughts. “You and she are alike in that way.”
Alyssa’s heart skipped a beat, but she pressed on. “If she called me, it must have been for something important.”
Despite her efforts, the answer eluded her.
“You should head back home and rest. Take care of yourself.” Alyssa’s miserable appearance made Jeremy’s Chest feel stuffy. “I’ll get in touch with Axel. We were in t the same military academy and share a good rapport. He might listen to me.”
Landon shook his head in disbelief. Jeremy had a sharp tongue and little tact-convincing Axel seemed like a stretch.
In the end, Jeremy and Landon escorted a drained Alyssa into the car, leaving Xavier to drive her back to her place in Belbanks. “Jeremy, what do you think-“
Before Landon could even finish his sentence, a loud crash startled him.
Jeremy, his eyes blazing, had slammed his fist into the car window, shattering it.
After suppressing his fury for so long, he finally let it explode in front of Landon after Alyssa had left.
“I won’t spare him,” Jeremy growled, his voice trembling with rage.
“Who?”
“Justin and that bitch working under him.”
When Axel heard the news, he immediately returned to the city where his organization was based.
Without even reporting back to work, he booked the earliest red-eye flight to Cyrris. His eyes were bloodshot from lack of sleep, and when he emerged from the arrival gates, an ominous air surrounded him. A black luxury car awaited him at the exit. Standing in front of the car were Jeremy and Xavier, who had been waiting anxiously for his arrival.
Axel’s gaze locked onto Jeremy’s fiery eyes. His presence radiated fury, unrestraint, and a barely contained viciousness.
A strong gust of wind swept through the terminal. Snow danced in the air, tangling both Jeremy’s and Axel’s hair into disarray.
“Let’s talk in the car, Axel,” Jeremy said in a low, measured voice.
Red-eyed, Axel insisted, “I need to find my wife right now.”
“That’s exactly why I’m here. Get in the car, and we’ll talk.” Jeremy turned on his heel. His tone grew colder. “But let’s be honest-you won’t find her no matter how urgently you act, will you?”
Grinding his teeth to suppress the storm of rage inside him, Axel finally climbed into the car with Jeremy.
The atmosphere in the car was heavy and gloomy.
Jeremy wasn’t directly connected to Amber, but she had once fought alongside them. Her disappearance weighed heavily on him, especially after seeing Alyssa cry her heart out over it.
“Lyse and I went to the scene where Amber vanished,” Jeremy began. “We found blood trails.”
Axel didn’t let him finish. A guttural growl escaped his lips as he slammed his fists against the car window repeatedly. His entire body trembled with barely contained anguish, and the veins on his forehead bulged as sweat dripped down his face. “Axel, calm down!” Jeremy barked, gripping Axel’s swollen fists tightly, forcing him to stop.
“Did you find out who took her?” Axel’s voice was raw, his fury barely contained as his blood roared in his veins.
Jeremy fell silent for a moment. Although brief, it felt like an eternity.
“Amber uncovered critical evidence at The Millennium,” he finally said. “She found a report on the human drug experiments that shook Solana City previously. “After leaving The Millenium, she headed to the mountain behind it. That’s where she was ambushed. It’s also where Alyssa and I found her cell phone. “Given Amber’s past work with Jameson and her indirect connections to Justin and Sheryl, Alyssa and I strongly suspect Justin is behind her abduction.” Despite the car’s heating system blasting at full power, the air inside felt frigid, as if they were on the brink of disaster.
“I want to kill them both,” Axel growled, his bloodshot eyes slowly meeting Jeremy’s. “Would you mind?”
“Not at all,” Jeremy replied evenly. “But I will stop you from doing it.”
“Fuck!” Axet shoved Jeremy’s hands away. “Jeremy, are you wasting my time? Do you think I’m joking? My wife is missing! If it were Lyse who disappeared, would you be this cold, this indifferent?”
Jeremy remained stoic, his expression unreadable.
Axel sneered bitterly. “Oh, how stupid of me. I forgot. Lyse doesn’t mean anything to you anymore, does she? She doesn’t make your heart race like she once did.”
A pained smile tugged at Axel’s lips, his eyes brimming with anguish. “You don’t love her anymore. You can’t even understand what love is now. So how could you possibly understand how I feel?”
Jeremy swallowed hard, his voice rough when he finally spoke. “I’m stopping you, not because Justin is my brother or because I’m dismissing your pain.
“If you go through with this, you’ll have blood on your hands. You’ll become a fugitive, hunted for murder remember you once told me you wanted a peaceful life. You said Amber dreamed of living in the light.”
Amber wanted to live in the light.
Axel’s bloodshot eyes flickered with a glimmer of realization. He closed them, wrestling with the emotions warring inside him.
“You can ignore everything else, Axel,” Jeremy said, his voice firm yet tinged with an unfamiliar emotion. “But you cannot ignore the love of your life.” “What if Amber-“
“Amber will be fine,’ Jeremy said confidently.
“Based on Justin’s way of doing things, he won’t harm her for now. She’s still useful to him. He’ll exploit her to control you and Alyssa, and to keep me from taking him down.” Cripping Jeremy’s arm, Axel pleaded, ‘Jeremy, I have to save my wife… What should I do?”
His eyes were red, brimming with unshed tears.
Steadying his breath, Jeremy replied, “Even if it comes to killing Justin, it shouldn’t be your hands that get dirty. I’ll do it.”
