Chapter 793: Alliance
"Hunter, you’re an undercover agent?"
A moment of silence descended upon the room as Deborah held her breath. Her pupils dilated until her eyes shook. Hunter, on the other hand, simply let out a shallow breath.
"With this organization’s recent activities, it garnered international attention. Dragon fearlessly went against even the most powerful governments, ruining their trades and even committing unspeakable crimes. Therefore, they gathered an elite unit and each country sent a few agents as representatives to take him down," Hunter explained as he jerked his chin toward the card in Deborah’s grip. "There were a few agents who got in, but I’m the only one who reached this position."
"Even so, Dragon is a smart man. With Dimitri in hiding, it’s hard to move recklessly and catch them. That is why, even with this position, I am stuck in here," he added. "Deborah, you’re lucky I’ve caught you entering and erased the footage. If not, you’d already be in the torture house, crying and begging to die. When you left, Dragon added a few security footages in places you used before, in case you will be back and try to harm Hera Cruel."
Deborah opened and closed her mouth like a fish but was unable to say anything. She expected the worst when Hunter caught her, but not this. Especially, she wasn’t prepared to hear that this man, who was like a boss to her, was an undercover agent.
"Wait..." Deborah pinched the bridge of her nose as if that would clear her mind. "Hunter, I don’t understand. You’re an undercover agent on a mission. Let’s say that’s true. But how about Tarrah? If Dragon didn’t kill my sister, then why did he send people to kill me? Don’t lie to me, Hunter. I know it’s him."
"Because he had to prove he hadn’t changed his mind." Hunter’s answer was quick and unfaltering. "Dimitri was talking about Dragon turning soft just because he didn’t make a quick decision after he found out about what you did to Hera. So, he sent people to kill you."
He cocked his head to the side as his brows rose. "Debbie, with your sister’s death, don’t you just want to die as well? Isn’t it much better if you just follow her? Even if we both know you’d go to hell and not to the place where your sister would go, it’s better if you just die."
"What..." Deborah trailed off as she let out a weak scoff. But deep in her heart, what he said had some truth in it.
