Kelly paused for a moment, surprised by Gary’s sudden outburst of anger. She nodded and pushed open the door, noticing Zey was already at the doorway.

“Come with me!” Gary commanded sharply.

Zev gently rubbed Kelly’s head. “Take Connor home and have dinner first.”

Kelly hesitated, wanting to ask more, but the tense atmosphere between Zev and Gary made her hold back her questions.

“Are you out of your mind?” Gary confronted Zev as soon as they were inside, grabbing his collar. “Do you have a death wish?”

Zev met Gary’s gaze. “It’s been years since my father died, and his killer is still free.”

“And you think it’s worth risking your life, ending up like him?” Gary was visibly frustrated, gesturing angrily at Zev. “I’ve warned you, not many know you’re a Lockhart. You can afford to take risks, but you must always be cautious around one person–Ken!”

When Zev had left the Lockhart family at 16, he was still vulnerable.

The only ones who knew his real identity were Wade and Ken.

Wade would never endanger his grandson.

However, Ken was a different story.

“Your father left his family to start his own venture. He took nothing but Ken with him! Ken quit college to follow your dad, and only he knew your dad’s every move! It’s widely believed that it was someone close to your father who orchestrated his downfall,” Gary hissed, tightening his grip on Zev’s collar.

During the kidnapping, Ken and Sylvester

ere both abducted, but while Sylvester was killed under brutal circumstances, Ken escaped with minor injuries.

Aside from Wade, who trusted Ken unconditionally, many suspected that Sylvester’s death was due to a betrayal by someone close, that Wade had unwittingly let the enemy inside.

In Gary’s view, Ken’s ambition was dangerous.

He believed Ken wanted control over the Lockhart Group and would go to any lengths, including eliminating Sylvester, to achieve that.

His ruthlessness knew no bounds.

Regrettably, after so many years, the kidnappers vanished, leaving no trace, and the mastermind behind the high–profile kidnapping and murder of a prominent businessman’s son in Abbysia remains unidentified to this day.

Gary had always been suspicious of Ken’s involvement.

Chapter 174 Zev Deliberately Exposes His identity

Fareshed

expressed with concern, massaging his temples. “You might be undercover, but being the heir to a vast fortune makes you a bigger target. If Lucas finds out you’re the Lockhart heir, his efforts to capture you will only intensify.”

“Operation Phoenix has dragged on for five years. No one understands its significance better than I do. You’ve been overly protective because I’m your nephew, asking me to withdraw multiple times. Would you hesitate this much with any other agents?

“They’ve captured me once already. Lucas won’t risk a second solitary attempt! If we don’t leverage my identity now, when will we draw him out?” Zev argued, revealing his deliberate choice to risk exposure.

He could not stand the thought of Kelly being mistreated by Beau and his associates while he was unable to do anything about it.

“You know this is selfish. I was against your marriage to Kelly from the start because you’re still active in the field. One mistake could endanger both of you!” Gary retorted angrily, frustrated by Zev’s recklessnew.

He simply did not want Zev to face any more dangers.

As an uncle, his fear was genuine…

Zev responded firmly, “I will protect her. I just want to finish Lucas off and start a peaceful life with her. Exposing my identity might also prove that Ken is compromised.”

“How many lives are you willing to bet?” Gary’s voice shook with emotion.

“My father’s murder remains unresolved after all these years!” Zev shot back, his emotions peaking.

Ken had managed his role so convincingly over the years that it was hard for Zev to determine if he was genuine or a facade.

The mercenaries who kidnapped Sylvester were led by Lucas, who, after receiving the ransom, betrayed them and expanded his criminal empire in Oasisvale, becoming known as the “Phoenix of Oasisvale.”

He committed heinous crimes, including kidnapping and murdering prominent figures, and infiltrated the business sectors to control major smuggling routes, nearly monopolizing the region.

Thus, Zev, despite qualifying for a promising military career, chose to go undercover in Solmaris, driven by the unresolved trauma of his parents‘ deaths.

His past haunted him constantly, a nightmare he could never forget or ignore.

Lockhart Mansion.

Wade sat restlessly on the sofa, glancing at the clock intermittently.
