Chapter 341
The door directly faced the corridor, and Lea and her group could clearly see the scene inside.
The heavy curtains were drawn tightly, casting the vast office into dim, oppressive shadows, creating an intense and almost surreal atmosphere.
A young girl in a floral dress, holding a crystal glass rabbit cup, was covered in blood and crying hysterically. “I killed them. I killed them…”
Blood was still dripping from the crystal glass.
At her feet lay three corpses, blood pooling around them, still warm.
“Spitfire, it’s okay. You didn’t kill them. I did,” a man in his late thirties reassured her.
He had a short beard, slightly long hair tied back at the nape of his neck, and his bronzed skin radiated strength. Even under his gray shirt, his powerful muscles were evident.
He had a rugged and robust appearance, with chiseled features and an air of both intelligence and strength.
“No, it was me. They had already confessed, but I still attacked them and killed them. I’m just a crazy person with no self- control. I should be locked up in a mental hospital. I…” she said.
Bang!
Overcome by violent and frantic emotions with no outlet, she suddenly smashed her most cherished glass cup onto the floor, shattering it into pieces.
A formidable power surged within her frail and petite body.
“Spitfire. Spitfire…” Brian, fearing she might harm herself, forcefully held her in his arms.
Vincent, along with two of his subordinates, stood to the side, unsure of what to do.
The door burst open, and Craig advanced with his gun aimed. Vincent instinctively grabbed a blood–stained baseball bat but froze when he realized it was one of their own.
“Brian! Spitfire!” Quicksilver rushed in and embraced them both “You’re okay? Thank God.”
Quicksilver had fled, and upon seeing the blood at the door, smelling the iron scent, and noticing the signs of a struggle, he feared they had arrived too late.
Lea and Alfred exchanged a glance, signaling Luke and Craig to stay outside while they stepped inside.
“Hi, Miss Berry,” Vincent lowered the baseball bat and came forward to greet her. He glanced at Lea and then at the two people still holding each other, focusing mainly on the man, unable to hide his shock.
When Vincent and his men arrived, the three attackers had already been taken down by the man, who had interrogated them. The sight of the three men, bleeding profusely and writhing in agony, was horrifying.
However, the frightened and fragile girl suddenly grabbed her cup and smashed all three of their heads.
Vincent didn’t think much of the girl’s actions. She seemed to have been triggered and had a breakdown..
But the man…
In Iverton, this was the first time Vincent had encountered someone so formidable.

Chapter 341
A few exchanged glances, and Lea immediately understood what Vincent meant.
You should leave for now. This was a matter for the Union. They weren’t members, just brought in to help, so it was natural for th
to be excused when discussing such matters.
Understood, Miss Berry Vincent led his subordinates out, joining Luke and the others outside to stand guard.
Inside the room, only the three from the base remained, along with Lea and Alfred, five people in total.
By this time. Brian had already let go of Spitfire, handing her over to Quicksilver. He greeted Lea with a warm and genuine xmile Lady, you’re here!”
Ever since Lea first met Quicksilver, he had addressed her as Lady, a name that everyone in the Union continued to use. It was her codename.
“We’ve been talking about getting together for a meal, you and Shannon, so everyone could meet. I didn’t expect our first meeting to be like this,” Brian said, clearly uncomfortable with her seeing this side of him.
Had it not been for the gruesome scene before her, and knowing he was responsible, Lea might have mistaken him for just a straightforward and sincere man.
He was indeed straightforward and sincere, but also brutal and lethal.
Lea nodded, her smile gentle yet unfathomable.
Brian’s heart sank. He felt as if she could see right through him, making him nervous
Lea, in her mid–heeled leather ankle boots, walked over to Spitfire.
As she passed Brian, her gaze lingered on him for a few seconds before she approached Quicksilver and Spitfire. She poured a cup of hot water and handed it to the young girl, glancing at the corpses on the floor. “You did well. These people came to kill us. If they hadn’t died, it would have been one of us lying there instead.”
Before she had crossed over, Lea had brought countless benefits to Milton, Abigail, Matilda, and Helen.
She had completely devoted herself to making Milton’s success possible.
She had cured Abigail’s cancer, giving her a second chance at life.
She had helped Matilda and her daughter, along with those around them, ascend to high society, gaining both fame and fortune, and enjoying endless wealth.
Yet, they had drained every bit of value from her, seized everything she had, murdered the people she loved most, and tortured her to death in the cruelest way possible.
When it came to enemies, especially those who sought to take her life, there was no such thing as going too far.
As soon as Lea walked in, she noticed that Spitfire was suffering from bipolar disorder, and it had already reached a severe mid–to–late stage.
Spitfire had just had an episode and was still in the midst of it.
Lea’s words could help ease Spitfire’s guilt and soothe her agitated emotions.
Indeed, as she sat in her pretty pink chair, holding the cup of hot water Lea had handed her, Spitfire suddenly looked up at
her. “Lea?”
She was both surprised and touched.
