Wylder let out a sigh. He said. “Yeah, last night, while the guards were stacking off, they planted a parasite on the officers and shipped away

Nina narrowed her eyes, saying, “I already took all the parasites them. Where did he get more?”

Back in Phoenix Village, as soon as the officers showed up. Ninaad collected every single parasite from the Wilson family.

Not a single one was left.

She thought, And now, they’d actually managed to escape by using a parasite again?’

Wylder’s face was serious. He said, “We’re still looking into it, buso far, we’ve got nothing. The brass wants to hear what you think.”

After all, Nina was right there in the thick of the Phoenix Village case.

Plus, she knew her way around parasites.

Nina laughed mockingly, asking, “What should I say? Your team has a mole, yet you’re chasing Riggs instead of dealing with it. Do you really think you could track him better than Moonshadow could, when he evaded them for years?”

He got into trouble in Moonshadow,

And it wasn’t just some minor thing, either.

Nina had already asked her friends to look into it as soon as she left Phoenix Village.

He stole that Lifesaver Parasite he’s got.

That Lifesaver Parasite was a holy relic in Moonshadow.

Moonshadow folks had been chasing Riggs for as long as he’s been on the run.

If he managed to lie low in Phoenix Village for all those years without getting caught, he definitely had some serious survival skills.

Now that he was bolted, good luck finding him.

‘Like I don’t know what you are hinting at, Nina thought, rolling her eyes.

He obviously wanted her to play detective and hunt Riggs down

She wasn’t some kind of miracle worker.

Sure, she knew her way around parasites, but compared to those who lived and breathed that stuff, she was out of their league.

Now that Riggs had gone to ground, he could be holed up in some backwater nobody’s ever heard of. Even with all the fancy gadgets, she might not be able to sniff him out,

Wylder’s lips twitched. He said, “We’re already running internal hecks. But you’ve tangled with Riggs before. Any idea where he’d hole up?”

Nina gave Wylder a complex look. She asked, “So, you guys just all apart without me around?”

Wylder fell silent.

He let out a long sigh.

Damn, she didn’t pull any punches.

He was really reluctant to reach out to her.

Every time he did, she’d always roast him and give him a hard te

But with orders coming down from above, he had no choice buo follow them.

He couldn’t help but feel frustrated,

“Riggs is a master of disguise, Last time, he could pass as a county guy perfectly. Now he knows you’re checking rural areas, so he’ll avoid that look. But posing as someone important would make him stand out too much,” said Nina.

“Look among the upper crust,” she said, her tone cool and detached,

Wylder’s eyes lit up. He said, “You’re always the one who sees though things. That was a real wake-up call.”

Hillcrest had been scouring every village, leaving no stone unturned.

Everyone had been mobilized, but so far, not a single lead.

But if Riggs was pretending to be some kind of elite or big shot, he’d stick out like a sore thumb.

Nina, unfazed as always, had to fight the urge to roll her eyes. She said, “Anyone with half a brain could figure that out.”

Wylder fell silent.

Wylder let out a long sigh.

Just another day of Nina’s disdain.

Nina didn’t bother with Wylder’s reaction. She pointed at something in the report, asking, “Riggs is supposed to be the mastermind? Do you actually believe that?”

Wylder looked serious. He replied, “I don’t believe it myself, but everyone in Phoenix Village swears Riggs is the mastermind.”

“He’s not,” Nina said flatly. “Sure, he’s smart, but there’s no way he and his wife could pull off something this big on their own. And those guys they grabbed? They weren’t just there to cook up drugs.”

The real kicker was how easily Riggs spilled everything.

The officers barely had to ask, and he just started confessing like it was nothing,

On the surface, it all seemed legit.

But in reality, there were huge holes in his story,

Those guys they caught were all seriously smart. Being doctors was just one part of it.

People that sharp would never be used just to cook up drugs.

Only an idiot would buy that.

Nina figured it probably had something to do with cloning.

She wasn’t sure if it was Ruben or someone else.
