She Was the Treasure All Along novel Chapter 831

"Look here," Quintin's voice came through the speakers as he circled the cuff on the wrist of the man leaving the office. "When Lucian went in, there was a faint, habitual scuff mark on his sleeve from his last mission—he hadn't bothered to change it. But the man walking out has a perfectly crisp, brand-new cuff."

The footage zoomed in, switching to a freeze-frame of the man's side profile as he lowered his head to get into the car.

"Now, look behind his ear," Quintin's tone turned ice-cold. "Lucian has a tiny, light-brown mole right near his hairline. This guy doesn't."

The evidence was irrefutable.

The man who had walked out of the Presidential Palace was not Lucian Shapiro.

"Harding."

Loyce enunciated the president's name with deadly precision. Her calm exterior shattered in an instant, revealing a raging, apocalyptic inferno of fury and murderous intent underneath.

"Good. Very good," she whispered softly, as if admiring a perfectly laid trap. "If you care about that seat so much, you can stay trapped in that palace forever."

Operating under her dual identities as SaintHealer and the head of the X Arms Syndicate, she issued a global kill order and a massive search bounty across the dark web.

To find Lucian, Loyce offered up the most cutting-edge military weaponry from her private island as the reward.

As for President Harding, she placed a staggering one billion dollar bounty on his head, sweetening the deal with a golden lifeline—an absolute guarantee of medical salvation from SaintHealer herself. No matter the injury or illness, whoever held that token would receive her personal, life-saving intervention.

The moment the post hit the dark web, it caused a massive shockwave. Syndicate leaders and underground networks were stunned by the sheer magnitude of the bounties. SaintHealer was notoriously mysterious and arrogant; she never stooped to making public hits, let alone involving herself in political warfare. This was entirely unprecedented.

As for the X Arms Syndicate, her reputation was already legendary. Having absorbed the majority of Ares Global's munitions factories and taken in Tanur's countless former employees, she was now the undisputed leader of the world's largest independent arms organization. She held a monopoly on both legal and black-market weapons trading. A bounty issued by someone with her absolute supremacy attracted the most ruthless players in the game.
