Chapter 432

Chris felt a sudden warmth in his eyes. He nodded, stepped aside, and handed the bag to her. "He's in Sloane's room."

Sienna's lips curled into a smirk. "He's asking for it."

The bag Chris handed her contained pieces of her blood-stained dress, cut into small fragments.

Finnian trusted Sloane a lot, so there were very few mercenaries in the small building.

As for the medical staff, they had already been subdued by the time Chris arrived.

"Kids these days should stop rushing headlong into danger," Bruce said, walking past the two and taking the lead. "We're not dead yet. Wait until we are before you charge in."

The three of them made their way to the floor where Sloane was. The guards outside the door were already prepared, ready for a fight to the death.

"Are you ready? Today, I'll show you if I can still take a bullet for you!"

Bruce was full of vigor. He rolled up his sleeves and charged ahead. "Sienna, go get your revenge. Save a couple of punches for me. I'll join you inside!"

Sienna and Kelvin followed closely behind. The three of them engaged in a fierce battle with the guards in the hallway. Kelvin and Bruce intentionally cleared a path for Sienna to get to the door.

"Don't worry!" Sienna grabbed one of the guards by the collar and tossed him aside. "I'm saving some for you. Enjoy it!"

"Then hurry up! If Ruben gets in here, we won't stand a chance!" Bruce shouted.

Sienna reached the door. She shot the lock and kicked it open.

The noise made Finnian's heart sink. Surprisingly, he felt a strange sense of relief.

Sienna kicked the door open, then leaned against the doorframe, gun in hand. Seeing no movement inside, she stepped in.

In the center of the room, Finnian sat in a chair, holding a gun. He wasn't wearing a mask today.

That face stunned Bruce.

Finnian's gun wasn't aimed at Sienna; it was just for self-defense. He looked at Sienna and even smiled. "How long have you and Simon been waiting for this day?"

Sienna walked in, gun pointed at him. "Take a guess."

"Such youthful recklessness." Finnian sneered and clapped his hands. "Bring him out."

Sienna narrowed her eyes, watching as someone emerged from the back. When she saw who it was, her expression changed noticeably.

"Didn't expect that, did you?"

Finnian smiled, standing up and walking over to the person.

"Just an ordinary man, always thinking he could take revenge on me. I couldn't bear to see him struggle, so I granted his wish. You like his cooking, don't you? Didn't you notice after two days?"

The person Finnian referred to was Benjamin, who stood there with eyes filled with hatred, glaring at Finnian.

"You hid him well. If I hadn't been cautious, I wouldn't have known he had such a grudge against that bastard."

"Marshall killed his son. Why take revenge on me? He just handed himself over to me."

Finnian pulled Benjamin closer. "That Raven of yours protected him tightly. If he hadn't exposed himself, I wouldn't have managed."

"You heartless beast! How many innocent children have died because of you? You'll get what's coming to you! Kill me, and I'll join my child. Even as a ghost, I won't let you go!"

Benjamin's eyes were red, and his words cut into Finnian like knives. "Just wait and see!"

Finnian laughed, grabbing Benjamin by the hair and forcing him to look up. "There are many villains in this world. How many do you see getting their comeuppance? I'm standing here just fine, but so-called good people like you aren't doing as well. Isn't it obvious who's better off? Why do you think bad deeds always get punished? In this world, what is good and what is bad?"

"Retribution has its time." Sienna smiled. "I bet yours is today. Do you believe it?"

"Why should I?" Finnian used Benjamin as a shield. "If you shoot, you'll have to kill him first."

"And then?"

Sienna said, "Simon told me there's a secret passage here you used to mislead him. But now I think it wasn't just that, right? You love these tricks. There's another way out, isn't there?"

Mentioning Simon made Finnian's face show a hint of anger. "You're right. I did have a backup plan. You reunited long ago, didn't you?"

"Of course."

Sienna shrugged, full of disdain. "You underestimated us. There's a lot you don't know, and I have a feeling your retribution is among them."

"Retribution, retribution. You people always talk to me about retribution." Finnian laughed. "What is reality?"

"Let reality show you. I'm not here to debate life's philosophies."

Sienna leaned against the wall. "Are you leaving or not?"

"Would you really let me go?" Finnian frowned.

Sienna spread her hands. "Of course. You have a hostage and a gun. What can I do? But if you leave, are you taking the one lying there with you?"

Finnian laughed. "Leave? Sloane is here. I'm not going anywhere."

Sienna's brow furrowed slightly.

Finnian released Benjamin and walked to the bed, sitting beside Sloane. "It's a pity you grew up too late."

Bruce quickly pulled Benjamin behind him, checking him over to make sure he wasn't hurt, before breathing a sigh of relief.

Finnian had even put down his gun. He stroked Sloane's face, talking to himself. "Did you think all my planning was for just one hostage?"

Sienna felt a sense of foreboding.

Sure enough, Finnian continued, "If I die here today, the research data from the previous Q will be instantly uploaded to international platforms. Curious minds won't ignore these findings. Can your police handle that?"

Sienna's eyes turned cold. "Don't blame everything on the previous Q. Don't act like you're innocent."

"I'm innocent. I'm just a businessman. People want drugs, so I make and sell them. I make them happy. What's wrong with that?"

"His so-called genetic research is just my way of protecting myself."

Finnian glanced at Sienna. "Especially you. Your data is the most complete and fascinating. Of course, you're just a bit luckier than me."

Bruce looked nervously at Sienna.

He could tell that was a threat.
