She did not reveal herself previously because she was worried that Jude might harm Kingsley, but now that she knew Jude was terrified of Kingsley, she had nothing to fear and could reveal herself. "What happened, Kingsley? Why did Mr. Lynch do what you told him to?"
Kingsley scratched his head and remained silent for a moment before chuckling. "A rich guy wants me to marry his daughter, and your hospital's director wants his money, so Jude has no choice but to bow down to me." Kingsley then realized that something was wrong. "Hey, why aren't you surprised, Alice? Do you already know who I am?"
Alice smiled. "I'm your sister. Of course I recognize my own brother."
"But Yulia didn't."
"Because she's only two years older than you are," Alice answered gently. "She was only fourteen when you went missing. Of course she couldn't recognize you."
Kingsley nodded. "We should get to the hospital after dinner, Alice. Keene's hospitalized." "Keene's in the hospital?" Alice put her cutlery down. "What happened to her?" She looked nervous. "Is she sick?"
"She was hurt, but she's okay. You can keep an eye on her if you go back to work—"
However, Lancer gave him a call before he could finish. "The killer's awake, boss. You can interrogate him now. And The Anonymous has news for us too. You should come to HQ."
"I'll be there right away." Kingsley hung up and apologized to Alice. "I have something to settle, Alice. I'm sorry I can't stay."
"It's alright. Go. I need to see Keene too." Alice had lost her appetite after finding out that Keene was hurt anyway.
After they went their separate ways, Kingsley drove to Coliree's Building No. 17. All the rooms were soundproofed and lightproofed, as they were used as interrogation rooms. Kingsley went into one and saw the man in waiter uniform sitting on the chair. He looked weakened, and his limbs were covered in layers of bandages.
Coliree Island's warriors had shot his limbs to smithereens, and Lancer had to work really hard just to keep him alive. Even if this guy managed to survive, he would have to cut off all his limbs. Kingsley came up to the man, looking solemn, then grabbed him by his hair and demanded, "Who the hell are you? Why did you try to kill me?"
The thought of Keene getting hurt so badly made his blood boil. He wanted to crush this man's head, but he held his urge back. He wanted to hunt the mastermind down and avenge Keene.
"I-I'm David, f-from Orion Tech." The man's eyes were getting out of focus from how weakened he was. He spilled everything and kept nothing a secret.
"Orion Tech? The company who takes assassination jobs?" Kingsley let the man go, and he frowned. Serena had told him about this company before. It was a company of killers disguised as a tech enterprise, and Serena was a part of it.
"Yes..." David nodded, bawling. "But I took this job without telling my company." He regretted this decision. He would never have done this if he could turn back time. If he took the job through the company's network, the jobs would be categorized, and only the most suitable killers would be sent to execute the request. However, he took ajob from the black market just because he wanted to make a quick buck. In the end, his judgment was horribly wrong, and it landed him in this situation. "I never would have come if I knew you guys have an army of pro gunmen! Not even if they give me ten times the money!" David slurred. "What kind of company are you? Your guards are better gunmen than our top shooter!" He could not, for the life of him, understand why all the guards in this company were equipped with the latest military-grade pistols. On top of that, all of them were professional gunmen. "It's not a company, but more like a military base..." He sobbed.
"Stop f*cking crying!" Kingsley's eyes gleamed coldly. "Who sent you here? Is it Felix?"
