Chapter 256
The shareholder had not expected Hayden’s identity would be exposed. He felt that what his companion said was right, and his face darkened again.
“Hayden has betrayed the organization and harmed the interests of shareholders and all members. Let’s take it out on his family.”
He wanted to deal with Hayden directly, but Hayden was now imprisoned in Hestrya’s police headquarters. He could not even touch him.
The other shareholders had no objection.
They took risks by engaging in “highly profitable illegal activities” just to make money and then retire to enjoy a luxurious life.
If someone “stole” the money that should belong to them, they will not
let it go.
Meanwhile, Hayden awoke from a nightmare when the Wolf Killer wiped out his family.
He felt particularly uncomfortable as cold sweat soaked his clothes and clung to his body.
He immediately sat up on his single bed, which was hard as a rock. He felt a great uneasiness in his heart.
“Bring someone in! I want to see Aiden!”
Hayden did not know how long he had slept. It could have been an hour, or it could have been several hours.
No matter how long he slept, a lot of things could happen during that time.
But no matter how loudly he shouted, no one paid any attention to him. Though he scolded Aiden madly, he got no response.
Then, he said, “I have important news to tell Commander Shaw. As long
you pass this message to him, he will definitely meet me.
soon as he finished his words, the military appeared
what’s the news?

He said, “I have news about his brother, Charlie.”
“Okay, I’ll pass this message to Commander Shaw. But whether he wants to see you or not, that is his call.”
After the military left, Hayden waited anxiously.
But after he had waited for a long time, there was no response, and no one came to him.
He panicked and muttered to himself, ‘Has Jeffrey already told Aiden the news?
Of course! Otherwise, Aiden would not remain indifferent to such important news!‘
The thought made Hayden even more anxious.
He did not know how much Jeffrey had said, nor how much he had concealed.
The current situation was too unfavorable for him.
When he thought of Aiden’s words to give him one night to think about it, he did not dare to let his guard down. He immediately thought about what to say and what not to say the next day.
On the other side, after hearing the message from the military, Aiden chose to ignore it.
Because he had more important things to deal with.
The stand–in had arrived at Acocester and was secretly sent to the Shaw residence.
Meanwhile, Cecilia was in the laboratory, working very hard to develop an antidote for Jeffrey.
It was not that she was kind. She just thought that a better understanding. of an antidote might be useful in the future.
After all, Jeffrey must have prepared a lot of poison for the Wolf Killer.
They would probably be besieged by poison if they attacked Wolf Killer’s headquarters.
When she thought about it, she decided to use the antidote to threaten Jeffrey and ask him to tell her about all the poisons he had developed. Of course, he also had to tell her about the antidote.

He spoke with difficulty, explaining how to make the antidote.
Every time he said a word, his throat felt as if it had been scraped by a sharp knife, and a strong bloody smell spread out, making his body
tremble in pain.
“He might have ended his life by banging his head if not for his will to survive.”
After he had explained how to make the antidote, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked pleadingly at Cecilia.
“Help… me…”
Cecilia had successfully developed the antidote by following Jeffrey’s detailed steps.
She looked at Jeffrey, who was lying on the floor. Then she sneered and mockingly said, “Now you know how to beg? When you poisoned us before, why didn’t you think you would end up like this?”
It was literally worse than death for Jeffrey now. His head was buzzing, and he had a slight tinnitus in his ears. He could not hear what Cecilia was saying clearly.
He was willing to tell how to make the antidote because he was afraid to die.
Therefore, he had only two words when faced with Cecilia’s ridicule.
“Help… me…”
He felt like he was dying. His body was cold and stiff, and it was hard to breathe.
Cecilia handed the prepared brown pills to Jeffrey and asked, “Do you want some?”
Jeffrey did not even have the strength to nod. He blinked desperately to show that he wanted it.
“I can give it to you, but I have one condition. You have to tell me first how much poison you have made for your organization.”
Jeffrey’s eyes lit up at the sight of the antidote so close at hand. His flagging spirit suddenly revived.
Give me… I will tell you,..
Cecilia did not give Jeffrey the antidote directly. Instead, she scooped a amount of the remaining antidote from the jar and fed it to him.
