“According to my research, the reason Theo was able to wipe out the base that the drug traffickers had built for more than a hundred years in such a short period, was because he had obtained top-secret insider information in advance. After knowing his and the drug trafficker’s own strengths and weaknesses, it only took one shot for him to take them out with the fastest speed and the lowest cost.”
Abel only described the situation in a few words, but Sophia could imagine the scene back in the days. It must have been tough and more thrilling than the spy films one could watch now.
It was a pity that Theo ended up dying due to serious injury.
When it came to the topic of his father, Michael’s expression turned gloomy.
With a glance at Michael, Abel let out a sigh and said, “You might not be able to accept the thing I’m about to say in a moment.”
Sophia was nervous. She was afraid that Abel would say something that would shake her entire worldview. In a hurry, she said, “Then, let’s not talk about it first…”
“Speak,” Michael demanded solemnly as if he was giving out an order.
Giving Michael a serious look, Abel said in a very solemn voice, “The head of the drug traffickers had a daughter. Months before that incident happened, his daughter brought a handsome young man home and got married to him. On the day of the wedding, the man led his troops to break through all the defenses of the drug traffickers’ base. They broke into the base and took them at once. Half of the family members were dead in that battle, and the rest were captured and sentenced.”
Upon hearing that, Sophia was stunned. An extremely terrible thought came to her mind. Could it be that the live-in son-in-law was…
A young and handsome commander endured the humiliation and used his beauty to break into the enemy’s base. He became the live-in son-in-law of the drug lord. Seizing the opportunity, he constantly sent out insider information to his people. Finally, on the wedding day of the drug lord’s precious daughter, he invaded the base when the enemy wasn’t attentive with their defenses and took them down in one fell swoop…
“That’s impossible!”
Michael’s handsome features were distorted. Furiously, he punched the working table that was made of glass.
Although being an undercover agent wasn’t disgraceful, Theo was a hero and a good father in Michael’s heart. If what Abel told him was true, then it proved that Theo had once betrayed Elizabeth.
Even if he didn’t do it willingly.
But still, Elizabeth was dead because of him!
In a hurry, Sophia quickly comforted Michael. Softly, she said, “That’s all Abel’s speculation. Theo was a commander; why would he have gone undercover personally…”
But Abel’s next sentence shattered any remaining hope. “Phantom Wolf is your half-brother from another mother!”
As soon as that sentence came out, Sophia was dumbstruck. The information within those words was shocking.
So, it’s true that the live-in son-in-law back then was Theo?
And the daughter did not die but escaped?
And she even gave birth to Theo’s son?
That child was the second generation of Phantom Wolf?
Is he taking revenge on his biological father by attacking the Fletchers?
Even TV series couldn’t make up something like that!
There weren’t a lot of people inside the studio. When Abel finished talking, almost everyone in the room looked in Michael’s direction. So, he’s Phantom Wolf’s biological brother.
Staring at Abel in a daze, Michael’s expression was extremely complicated.
Mercilessly, Abel continued, “The previous story was just my speculation. Back then, the drug lord was caught in such a short period because of the betrayal of his live-in son-in-law, but the DNA comparison between you and Phantom Wolf proves that you’re indeed brothers.”
Michael continued to stare at Abel blankly. He couldn’t accept the cruel reality.
After a long moment, he suddenly inquired, “Do you have the photo of the drug trafficker’s daughter?”
Patting on Michael’s shoulder, Abel knew he wouldn’t be able to accept reality. After a few words of comfort, he showed him the photo he found from the investigation.
It must have been hard for him to accept that…
