Chapter 417
While everyone was discussing, Hydias Public Security Bureau posted another tweet. [This clip explains everything and after you watch it, you’ll know that everything Dr. Quirke did to Simon was for our mission. Whether or not today’s mission is a success, Simon has nowhere to run. Besides, we have to thank Dr. Quirke again for handing over all of the 1.2 billion dollars Símon used to pay for his medical bills. Here’s another piece of good news. We also arrested Hydias‘ second–ranked drug dealer with the help of Dr. Quirke who showed a strong sense of justice!]
They attached a video to the post.
The two–minute video showed Simon in pain and the help he received from doctors. It could be known from Simon’s screams that he wasn’t screaming, because of his wounds or pretending. All he felt was excruciating pain but the doctors couldn’t tell why.
After watching the clip, everyone felt satisfied.
[Can you show us more? Two minutes is too short and I want to see him in more pain!]
[Exactly! Show us more!]
[I’m happy to see him suffer. Promise me you’ll torture him before the final judgment!]
[I’m impressed by Dr. Quirke. What a clever trick!]
[Forgive me for having wronged you, Dr. Quirke!]
[I’m so sorry, Dr. Quirke!]
[Dr. Quirke gave all the money to the government. What a selfless man. I shouldn’t have wronged him!]
[Please forgive me, Dr. Quirke!]
[What are you guys doing? It’s drug money and anyone who gets it is obligated to give it to the government. Besides, no one can be one hundred percent sure if he’s keeping some of the money!]
[Are you jealous of Dr. Quirke? Are you still unwilling to admit that you were wrong? Dr. Quirke has done well enough and, in my opinion, anyone who

questions him is in league with Simon!]
[Don’t you think Dr. Quirke is the key to the whole mission? They got two drug dealers!]
[I can finally tell my dead parents the good news.]
Faye quickly made headlines on websites and in newspapers and made every Clusian proud.
Those people who used to go to Whitecrane Hall to cause trouble gathered at the door to clean up the rubbish and graffiti they had left. What was more, they took a small blackboard and stuck many apology notes on it.
Since Faye had been proven innocent, Whitecrane Hall should be back to normal
soon.
After learning the news, Hugo texted all the employees, saying that they would be back at work after Christmas but they needed everyone to take shifts until then.
After all, they sold medicine and customers would complain if they shut down for a month.

Kenneth and Eddie were about to go back with the troops.
To their surprise, they got a call from their superior John. However, instead of being angry with Kenneth, John praised him this time.
“Who is this Dr. Quirke you’re talking about, Kenneth? I’m so impressed. I have to admit that I misunderstood him before. Can you find him? I want to apologize to him in person.”
Kenneth’s mouth twitched. He looked at the phone and said, “The
misunderstanding has been solved. It’s no big deal and you don’t have to apologize
at all.”
As he spoke, he glanced at Cassandra and thought, ‘She never liked socializing with people she didn’t know. If she knew Mr. Frey was going to apologize to her, she would run away immediately.’
Having heard their conversation, Cassandra quickly waved her hand to say no.
Seeing this, Kenneth smiled. John noticed that something seemed to be wrong with him, so he asked, “Why are you smiling?”

Kenneth stopped smiling and saluted him, “We’ve accomplished our mission and are going back to Drieso, Sir. Is there anything else you want us to do?”
“Good. I look forward to your return.”
Cassandra breathed a sigh of relief when the phone was hung up. She was glad that neither of them said anything about apologizing.
Kenneth walked up to her and joked, “Why are you so resistant to talking to him?”
“You know what, Cassie? He once asked us to kill you. You should let him apologize to you sincerely!” Eddie joked. Honestly, he thought that she had been treated unfairly.
He thought that he had to ask John and Daniel to reward her.
Cassandra did more for this mission than anyone else. If she hadn’t drugged Dominic, he wouldn’t have been caught so quickly, and Simon wouldn’t have been arrested without her treatment.
“No need. I didn’t do it for compliments,” she said.
She did it at the very beginning to meet Kenneth in Hydias. That was her main purpose and nothing else mattered.
They succeeded in protecting this beautiful city.
Eddie was amazed by Cassandra’s selflessness. He turned to Kenneth and said with disgust in his eyes, “Honestly, you don’t deserve Cassie.”
Kenneth was speechless. He thought, ‘Can he just shut up?‘
“No matter what you say, Cassie is my woman!” Kenneth held her tightly in his
arms.
“You should keep learning, bro. Otherwise, Cassie’s gonna get better while you’re not making any progress.”
“Kenneth is good enough. I’m just an amateur and you’re way better than me.”
Cassandra looked at Kenneth affectionately with pride in her eyes.
