Chapter 633 Revenge

Two kilograms of TNT?

When Jonathan turned to look at Seamus, he saw that the latter had turned pale while staring daggers at Geoffrey.

“Geoffrey, not only have I groomed you for three years, but I also rescued you from the grasp of your mortal enemy. So, how could you do this to me?”

Seamus was utterly devastated by Geoffrey’s betrayal.

The former had started his career as a peddler of information.

People like him had built a network where he lived and was naturally on good terms with everyone.

Even though he made a decent living, he didn’t derive any satisfaction from his job, which required him to behave in an obsequious manner to everyone.

Three years ago, when Asura’s Office was established, Hades was rapidly expanding its intelligence network throughout the country.

Since he was in dire need of talent, someone of Seamus’ skills was naturally an invaluable resource, especially when the latter was capable of establishing himself in a place like Terrandya.

On top of that, reality had also validated the decision to recruit Seamus back then.

After joining Asura’s Office, Seamus used all the resources at his disposal to develop the intelligence network and was soon in control of Sparaville.

In Seamus’ own words, as long as he was around, nothing in the city would get past his attention.

It was during that time that a bloodless war ignited between the chiefs of the intelligence networks within Terrandya’s eighteen cities.

This was part of Asura’s Office’s plan for recruitment, for they were short-handed on account of being new.

If they were to rely on selecting chiefs through appointments, there wouldn’t be enough candidates for the role.

Therefore, by using cities as foundational building blocks, they would appoint a state chief from amongst the group of city chiefs, and that person would be chosen from the internal strife that had been planned.

Not only could Asura’s Office pick out the most capable intelligence officer, but the chosen one would also gain the respect of all the other members of the organization.

Consequently, Seamus was picked from amongst all the other city chiefs of Terrandya.

After the strife, only five city chiefs, including Seamus, remained out of eighteen. The other thirteen had died under a variety of mysterious circumstances.

The result inadvertently cemented Seamus’ position as the true leader of Terrandya’s intelligence network.

Just by looking at Seamus’ rise over the last three years, one couldn’t help but feel impressed. In addition, many saw his actions as that worthy of a hero.

As for Seamus, he didn’t rest on his laurels upon taking on his new role. Instead, he leveraged his intelligence network to gather information on all the government and corporate secrets within Terrandya. Thereafter, he made a killing by using the information for blackmail.

As the inherent nature of an intelligence officer’s job was building relationships, Asura’s Office turned a blind eye to Seamus’ actions despite being aware of them.

Given Seamus’ ruthless methods in securing his position, it became a habit for him to exercise extreme caution in whatever he did. Also, he found it difficult to trust anyone, and Geoffrey was the only exception.

One year ago, Seamus saved him from being beaten to death by a bunch of gangsters due to a gambling debt the latter owed.

Even since then, Geoffrey worked for Seamus.
