Chapter 879:

When Harlee mentioned Anika, the leader wavered. Several agonizing minutes passed before he resolved to betray Anika’s secrets.

He knew there was no escape for him, but at least he could control the terms of his demise. Revealing Anika’s secrets in exchange for a quick death seemed like a reasonable trade.

“Fine,” the leader finally said, his voice resigned.

“I’ll tell you everything about Anika, but on one condition. You end me and my men swiftly.”

The remaining two men felt a strong emotional response upon hearing their leader’s words.

Honestly, if they were the ones making demands, their only thought would have been their own survival.

Harlee stood up leisurely and took a seat at the table, propping her chin on her hand in a relaxed pose.

“I didn’t expect such camaraderie among you guys.”

The leader of the remaining men was rendered speechless. While they were brave and set on accomplishing their assignments, they weren’t emotionless robots. Why was Harlee surprised at their camaraderie? If they were truly emotionless, no threat would have affected them.

Ritchie, meanwhile, was gleefully live-streaming the scene for Tonya, chuckling to himself.

He smirked, amazed that Harlee’s interrogations were as brutally straightforward and effective as always.

The leader’s face flushed with anger as he clenched his teeth and suggested, “What do you think? As long as you promise to grant us a quick end, I’ll tell you anything you want to know.”

For these men, each unanswered question meant one person would be left behind.

The leader held great confidence as he was one of Hale’s most trusted aides and was familiar with nearly every detail about Hale.

“Alright. I agree,” Harlee responded.

The leader then detailed the affairs involving Lucretia and Anika.

“Lucretia is known as a pharmaceutical expert in the underworld, but in reality, it’s her daughter who does all the work. She’s grooming her daughter to be a darling of the legitimate world, keeping her daughter hidden from public view.”

The leader looked pleased with himself.

“Not many know this.

Does this information buy us a quick end?” He knew so much because Anika had a habit of wandering. She traveled alone to Mogluylia, and Lucretia, concerned about Hale’s intentions toward Anika, decided to reveal the truth.

He was nearby when this confession occurred. Therefore, aside from Hale and the late Lucretia, he was the only person in Mogluylia who was privy to this well-guarded secret.

Harlee nodded slowly.

His account was indeed more detailed than what Etta had provided.

Anika… Well, a meeting was on the agenda.

Harlee asked three more questions, and the leader responded smoothly.

From his answers, Harlee discovered that Hale had worked with a fraud syndicate to enter the country. She also uncovered that Hale had given Bloodthirstiness Pills to several individuals and was secretly working against Matteo.
