Still, the “boss’s” death was purely a coincidence, an unexpected turn of events.
Meanwhile, Edward’s appearance was an accident.
Lily and Mike had always been cautious and refrained from touching the “boss,” but Edward did not understand or care. Since Edward was on the brink of death, he believed he had to do something before dying—to seek revenge and destroy the evil organization directly.
The protection surrounding the “boss” was not strong, but none dared to harm him. It was not because they could not but because they feared the consequences. Therefore, when Edward, who disregarded all consequences, appeared, he broke the first barrier.
Subsequently, Lily and Mike had to go along with the situation. Furthermore, the boss never expected to become an outcast in the organization, as they simply abandoned him. Of course, it was also possible the organization had learned about the situation and intentionally let it slide.
Although the organization had been wary of what the boss held, the organization was pleased with the outcome when the boss got captured and seemingly destined to die. The organization did not need to get its hands dirty and could rest assured once the boss died.
Later, Rhea tested a different experimental poison on the boss, leading to his demise. These events seemed coincidental when connected, but they also seemed destined.
‘So, when the “boss” died, the organization’s people probably ransacked his office. However, the organization didn’t get these documents. By a stroke of luck, they ended up with me instead.’
When Alexander opened his eyes again, he rechecked the documents and returned them to the parchment envelope. Then he got up and went to open the hidden compartment in his bookcase to place the envelope there.
‘I’ve already guessed and investigated the situation, but I never expected the mastermind to be him! This person is troublesome after all.’
Edward, who had been waiting outside, looked anxious as he opened the door. He took a step forward upon seeing his boss. “Alex…”
Frankly, Edward would rarely be anxious. Instead, he was taciturn and followed Alexander’s orders without question, but it was different this time as it personally concerned him.
Since Alexander found the documents in the “boss’s” office, perhaps they were related to the organization or virus. However, Edward only appeared visibly eager without asking about it.
Alexander glanced at him indifferently and shook his head. “There’s no useful information in those documents.”
Edward could not conceal his disappointment. “I see…”
“They consist of experimental data, but they seem abandoned. Maybe the organization wanted to keep them for future use but didn’t expect so many other things to happen…”
Alexander did not intend to finish his sentence. After all, the “boss” had already died, so keeping the data was pointless.
Alexander was not intentionally hiding anything from Edward. It was just that the matter was of great importance and involved too many things.
‘The fewer people know about this, the better. It’ll be safer for Edward if he doesn’t know.’
