Chapter 225 A Bloody Nightmare
Richard handed Frederick the surveillance footage on his phone, holding his breath and lowering his head.
“Head to the Bright Night Hotel!”
Frederick saw the video and only gave the order, saying nothing
else.
But his cold tone made Richard break out in a cold sweat.
Throughout the journey, Richard didn’t dare to relax. After notifying the traffic department, he sped, reducing what would have been an hour’s drive to 20 minutes.
On the way, Richard had people pull up all the surveillance from Claire’s time at the Bright Night Hotel.
Upon arrival, Frederick went straight to the room Vincent had opened.
The scene was a mess.
Many rooms on the entire floor had exploded, but the range of the explosions was not extensive.
Moreover, the explosions were very precise, mostly just blowing open a hole about three feet in diameter, allowing people to pass through freely.

was gone.
Richard quickly had the explosive materials identified.
“General Hawthorne, we can now basically confirm that they are the same group causing explosions in the suburbs.”
Richard had just finished his report when Frederick’s email received an anonymous message.
The email was sent through anonymous re–encoding, with no trace or IP address to be found. The content of the file was only a
video.
In the video was a very dark room, with many people locked inside. The lighting was not bright, but they could see men, women, children, and older people.
The video was chaotic, filled with various wails and pleas for
mercy.
“Shut up! If anyone says another word, I’ll shoot him!”
It wasn’t until a man’s voice came from the video that the room finally fell silent.
The man did not show his face, only bringing the camera closer to those who had been captured.
“Frederick, take a good look. These are all people under the

“After all, you’re a general now, in charge of the entire Kingstown Security Department. If I kill them all one by one and throw their bodies onto the streets of Kingstown, would you be immediately dismissed?
“Oh, no, you’d probably be stripped of your eligibility to run for president first. Hahaha… I’m telling you, Frederick. This is the price you pay.

“I’m giving you two options. First, you abandon these people, and after I’ve tortured them all, I’ll just dump their bodies on some street. Second, you come here alone, without any help, and I might consider letting these people go.
“I’m giving you 24 hours to think about it. Once the time is up, I’ll kill someone every hour. It’s up to you.”
After the man finished speaking and laughed, the video ended.
Frederick stared intently at the phone screen until it was completely unresponsive.
His mind was filled with the sight of Claire’s face as the camera zoomed in on those people.
