After running for quite a while and making sure nobody was following him, the bespectacled man finally slowed down.

Panting heavily, he collapsed onto a stool at a roadside tea stand.

Thank goodness he’d reacted quickly.

The moment Iris fought back, he’d sensed something was wrong and escaped during the chaos.

If someone as ruthless as her had gotten hold of him, who knew what would have happened?

A bowl of tea was placed in front of him.

“Thanks.”

Too exhausted to even lift his head properly, he picked up the cup and gulped down more than half of it.

“No problem. You sure can run fast.”

The man froze.

The tea stopped halfway to his lips.

His eyes widened.

Without hesitation, he hurled the teacup at the speaker and jumped to his feet.

Ares moved faster. He sidestepped the flying cup, reached out, and grabbed him before he could take more than a step.

“What are you running for?” Ares smiled faintly. “My fiancée would like to have a chat with you.”

Cold sweat instantly broke out across the man’s back.

“I–I’m not involved! I’m just a technician! There’s no point in capturing me!”

His excuses achieved absolutely nothing.

:

Ares lifted him as easily as a chicken and tossed him into a waiting vehicle.

A short while later, he found himself back at the abandoned factory.

Iris was sitting calmly at the table the kidnappers had set up earlier.

The others were once again sprawled across the floor in various states of misery.

The scene wasn’t much different from what had happened at Vivian Hart’s

restaurant.

Meanwhile, James had finally broken.

The pain from his burns was too much to endure.

“I’ll talk! I’ll tell you everything!”

“My dad never gave me enough money! Someone introduced me to a website where people could take jobs and earn good money!”

Vivian had been his very first assignment.

Unfortunately for him, he had run straight into someone like Iris.

“I’ve told you everything I know!”

“I can’t see who the clients are on that platform!”

“I only get the target’s information!”

“Please! Just take me to a hospital!”

He was on the verge of collapse.

His untreated hands were becoming increasingly swollen and grotesque.

Then he spotted the bespectacled man being dragged back inside.

Immediately, he pointed.

“Him!”

“He’s the platform’s intermediary!”

Back when James had run out of money and couldn’t get help from anyone, he had proposed a new idea to the platform.

Vivian had a son.

Noah Hart.

If they kidnapped Noah and demanded the amount originally promised for the job, it could still count as mission completion.

And James could extort additional money on top of that.

After some discussion, the platform had agreed.

They had even assigned an intermediary to assist them.

The man wasn’t physically capable. But he was highly skilled with computers. He knew lockpicking, hacking, and all sorts of illegal technical tricks. The lock on the old apartment building had been opened by him.

The bespectacled man was thrown onto the floor.

His expression was utterly defeated.

“I’m just following orders.”

“I can’t fight. I can’t do anything.”

“Catching me won’t help you.”

Iris took the laptop from his hands.

After powering it on, she quickly discovered that all traces related to the platform had already been wiped clean.

There was nothing useful left.

“Have you ever met the client?”

She stopped in front of him and asked coldly.

“No.” He shook his head immediately. “I’m just an employee. I only have access to information within my authorization level.”

“Client identities are classified. I can’t see them.”

“Log into your platform account.” Ares took the laptop from Iris and handed it back to the man.

“I can’t. The system already deleted itself.”

“Is that so?” Ares glanced toward the overturned oil pot.

His voice remained casual.

“I think that pot is still usable.” His gaze shifted back. “And people in your line of work rely heavily on their hands, don’t they?”

The man’s face instantly turned pale.

Ares was absolutely right. If his hands were destroyed, his career would be over forever.

Two minutes later, the platform account was successfully logged in.

The website turned out to be an ordinary bounty platform.

There were plenty of platforms like it online.

After James and the others were returned to the police station, the veteran officer handling the case once again contacted Mayor Vaughn and Alner.

James was finally locked away.
