After Divorce, My General Husband Chasing Me Back novel Chapter 313

> After Divorce, My General Husband Chasin… 1/5 

Chapter 313 Provocative 

Richard hesitated. Noticing Frederick’s silence, he asked again, “General Hawthorne, should we send someone to follow them? 

Just in case Ms. Prescott…” 

He vividly recalled the first time he approached Crimson Lane. 

It was shortly after he and Frederick returned from the battlefield, and a small riot had erupted in Kingstown. 

He rushed to handle the situation alone since Frederick had opted to stay behind. 

The unrest wasn’t particularly severe, so he thought it would be a routine assignment—nothing he hadn’t dealt with before. 

The chaos was quelled quickly, and it didn’t seem like anything out of the ordinary. Throughout his military career, he had faced numerous riots and conflicts, each more intense than the last. 

Yet, this particular incident haunted Richard more than any 

other. 

Before arriving, he had expected just another typical disturbance. 

What Richard found instead was a horrific scene: thirty bodies, all women, lying lifeless in the street.

Some were young, while others were older, the youngest 

couldn’t have been more than ten, and the oldest was around 

sixty. 

They were all grotesquely mutilated, their bodies a gruesome testament to violence. 

The two oldest women still had some tattered clothing, but it barely covered them.

The sight of their deaths was chilling–some bore expressions of extreme agony and struggle, while others had smiles frozen on their faces, as if they had found peace in their final moments. 

Richard was at a loss for words, overwhelmed by shock. How could they die in such torment yet still wear smiles? He didn’t understand. 

His sister had been brutally murdered by terrorists when he was just a child, and that image of suffering was etched into his 

memory. 

He couldn’t stand the thought of it happening again. 

In a fit of rage, Richard pulled out his gun and fired several shots into the air, ordering everyone present to be restrained. 

But in the end, he couldn’t punish a single perpetrator. 

It wasn’t that Richard couldn’t find the culprits; it was that nearly everyone there was complicit.

3/5 

Each woman bore wounds inflicted by multiple hands, and no one could identify the man responsible for the fatal blow. 

Crimson Lane had a dark history, dating back to a worldwide war when it became a playground for men. 

Women were either kidnapped or forced to sell themselves just to survive. 

Even after the war ended, Crimson Lane evolved into Kingstown’s largest red–light district. 

The only difference was that here, any man with a bit of wealth could exploit women at will. 

Many of these women were born into this life; their mothers had sold themselves, and they followed suit. 

Some mothers even taught their daughters the trade from a young age, using their mouths and hands before eventually resorting to their bodies. 

To them, it was just a way to make a living–nothing shameful about it. 

In their minds, this was simply how things worked, and the money came easily. 

Even now, Richard could vividly picture the women he encountered during the investigation. 

Their expressions were flat and resigned, as if they had accepted

their fate. Some even reached out to him, pulling his hand toward their garments.

“Hey, handsome, want to have some fun?” one of them teased. 

“Honestly, we were born for this kind of work. If we weren’t doing this, what else would we do?” another chimed in with a laugh.
