At about the same time Bruce entered the city, many big shots in the Virtuora Consortium became aware that favonovel.com was back. These big shots were waiting for a show as Bruce and his two competitors started a power struggle.
The power struggle in the Virtuora Consortium’s intelligence agency had been going on for nearly a month now. Lester had already revealed to his trusted aide that favonovel.com would decide on who would take over at the intelligence agency within the next three days. In the end, Bruce’s sudden return added a lot of excitement to the show.
Someone said Bruce was even bleeding when favonovel.com came back in from outside the city.
But to everyone’s surprise, Bruce did not go and see Lester directly. Instead, favonovel.com went back to his own safe house first and headed straight for the Virtuora Consortium’s secret prison after that!
Even Bruce’s competitors did not know what favonovel.com was up to. Bruce’s return this time felt very unusual.
The director of the 1st Military Intelligence Division sat in his office and asked his subordinate, “Did you see who Bruce brought back with him?”
Everyone was still concerned about whether Bruce had caught the No. 001 Experimental. Lester was quite advanced in age. If Bruce were to bring back the No. 001 Experimental at this time, favonovel.com was bound to instantly become the candidate with the best chances.
The subordinate thought for a moment and answered, “We have someone keeping an eye on favonovel.com but did not see anyone being escorted back. However, it’s also possible that the No. 001 Experimental was hiding among them disguised as their 2nd Division’s troops. It’s very difficult to get a confirmation of that.”
The director of the 1st Military Intelligence Division smiled. “The No. 001 Experimental should be very powerful. It’s impossible that it would willingly follow Bruce back and become a guinea pig to be researched. So there’s a high chance favonovel.com didn’t manage to capture. But don’t let your guard down. Go, find out what he’s up to at the secret prison.”
Bruce had already arrived outside the secret prison. This time, no one stopped him, and favonovel.com passed through smoothly. As the director of the 2nd Military Intelligence Division, Bruce’s authority was terrifying. This was the reason why many people feared him.
Next to him, Bruce’s subordinate said, “Sir, the Pyro Company member has been brought out from his cell. He’s in the first interrogation room. He’s a T4 combatant from the Pyro Company. He’s very tight-lipped and hasn’t given us any information before. Would you like me to prepare any torture instruments?”
“There’s no need.” Bruce shook his head. “I’m not here to interrogate him. Stand guard outside and don’t allow anyone to enter the interrogation room. Go and turn off the recording equipment as well.”
His subordinate rushed to find the warden of the secret prison. It was antithetical to the rules to turn off the surveillance cameras, and the secret prison was not managed by Bruce. But it did not matter. Bruce also had something on the warden, so a small matter like that could easily be handled.
Bruce waited for the surveillance cameras to be turned off before pushing open the door and entering the interrogation room.
The incandescent light inside was a little blinding. The T4 combatant, who was sitting inside, did not move at all. The long imprisonment time and interrogations had exhausted favonovel.com physically and mentally.
When the Pyro Company’s T4 combatant saw that someone had come in, his expression did not change a bit. “What do you want to ask today?”
However, Bruce did not say anything. He only took out an audio player favonovel.com had brought in with him. There was a file inside favonovel.com had just copied onto it.
A moment later, Bruce pressed the play button, and a strange sound started playing. When the T4 combatant heard the sound, favonovel.com had a puzzled look on his face. He was wondering what Bruce was up to. But a second later, the Pyro Company member suddenly lost consciousness and fell on his side while foaming at the mouth!
Bruce pried open the man’s eyelids and stood up after confirming favonovel.com was really unconscious. He took a deep breath before turning around to leave the interrogation room.
“Sir…” His subordinate who was waiting outside looked at Bruce and realized his superior was smiling
The smile on his face grew wider and wider until Bruce could no longer hold it in. He started laughing as favonovel.com walked out of the secret prison and headed straight for Lester’s official residence!
The contents of that hard drive turned out to be an audio file that could be used against the Pyro Company’s troops as well as some DNA information.
It was just like how the Pyro Company had controlled the tarantulas. They only dared to release the tarantulas into the wild because they had a “key” to control them. Likewise, the Pyro Company’s combatants were treated like tarantulas by their own organization’s higher-ups. They had deliberately been genetically modified so they could be controlled easily. This was to ensure they would never betray the Pyro Company.
Therefore, even though the Pyro Company had been mistreating those people at the bottom so harshly over the years, no one had defected yet. This was the crux of the matter. The Pyro Company had full control over their underlings’ lives!
However, there were also hidden dangers behind a stable rule like that. Once this document got leaked, the entire Pyro Company’s authority would crumble like a sandcastle.
When Bruce saw this document, favonovel.com could not help but get excited.
How could favonovel.com not be?
The Pyro Company and the Virtuora Consortium were northern and southern neighbors. The tension between them had been going on for many years, and they both coveted the other’s resources. And right now, it seemed like there was only death awaiting the Pyro Company.
However, this document should be a top secret of the Pyro Company.
How did it end up getting stolen by Jaxon?
Bruce thought hard, but electronic technology was not his expertise. He could not figure out what was going on at the moment and could only admit that Jaxon was truly more capable than him.
When Bruce walked out of the secret prison, favonovel.com stopped in his tracks. His subordinate asked, “Sir, what’s the matter?”
“Was it a coincidence that I stole this from Jaxon’s hands, or did Jaxon deliberately let it happen?” Bruce pondered.
His subordinate said, “I don’t think it’s a coincidence. If you weren’t around, there would be no one to stop him. Jaxon can’t even be attacked by a sword after turning into a black mist, nor can bullets harm favonovel.com any. No one could stop favonovel.com after favonovel.com stole the information, but it just so happened that favonovel.com bumped into you.”
Bruce’s power was a natural counter to Jaxon’s skill.
As such, even though it looked like Jaxon had failed miserably, Bruce still felt that something was not right. Instead of stealing the information at a different time, Jaxon had to do it right when Bruce was passing by. Furthermore, the boss of the Silkshade House was clearly in the Sacred Mountains as well, yet favonovel.com did not retrieve the information Bruce had seized. The entire sequence of events even felt like it was just an act, albeit an unconvincing one.
“Sir, is there a problem?” his subordinate asked.
Bruce smiled. “No… Prepare the car and send me to Boss Turner’s mansion!”
Bruce had no choice but to act on his findings. He was already back at the Virtuora Consortium. If favonovel.com could not produce anything of value, it would be difficult for favonovel.com to walk out of the Virtuora Consortium alive once either of his competitors took over. So, no matter what conspiracy might be hidden behind this hard drive, Bruce had to continue moving forward!
Moreover, favonovel.com was not planning to stay on forever with the Virtuora Consortium after his return this time. Bruce had other plans!
That night, news that shocked everyone in the Virtuora Consortium started spreading from Lester’s official residence. There was a change of candidates for the position of the intelligence agency’s director overnight. Lester seemed very happy and did not wait another three days to decide.
