Chapter 1187: Hauntingly beautiful
[INTERPOL]
Elliot sat frozen in front of his desk with a gaping mouth, staring at the sample files Dominic sent to him. A shallow huff escaped him, reaching for the mouse to check the rest of the files.
"This..." he trailed off while trying to process the emotion he should feel at the moment. "... is all the information Hera asked me to garner?"
At this point, Elliot was wondering if he was a hero in his previous life. Back then, Elliot could remember how many times he wondered why he was so unlucky. As the President of Interpol, he barely arrested some big shots, but not the real big shot he was trying to catch: Hera Cruel.
But not only he couldn’t arrest her, but now, he didn’t even know if what he had believed was right. If they put her behind bars, half of the members of the General Assembly should also serve time. What Hera did were crimes that deserved punishment and shouldn’t be justified. But as it turns out, it was more complicated than that.
"Is this a coincidence?" he muttered, squinting his eyes suspiciously. "Dominic’s giving all this information at the same time Hera needed them?"
The moment those words rolled out of Elliot’s tongue, he heard his secretary’s voice from the telephone.
"President, Minister Zhu is on the line."
Elliot raised a brow but was not surprised because a call from Dominic right after the latter sent all these samples was to be expected. He reached for the button and said, "Connect him and keep it off the record."
"Yes, President."
A second later, Elliot reached for the telephone and placed it right in front of his ear. His expression slowly changed into a stiff and dark look, listening to the other person on the line.
