Chapter 433
Finnian laughed maniacally. "You'll never find his research results! Touch me once, and everything gets sent to the buyers immediately. I don't care if I die—once that information is sold, there'll be dozens like me continuing the research. Can your great police force catch them all?"
"Despicable!" Benjamin spat through clenched teeth.
Finnian couldn't care less. "Soon there'll be countless fathers just like him who won't dare ask me what suffering their children endured before dying—even when standing face to face with the so-called mastermind. I don't even know which child was his! There are many men like this in the world, and there will be more. Sienna, can you save them all? This world has always been dark!"
Benjamin's face flushed crimson at these words, his teeth grinding as he fought the urge to lunge forward and physically confront this shameless monster. He wanted to tear out the man's heart to see how someone so evil could be built.
"Benjamin," Sienna said calmly, shifting her gaze from Finnian. "Simon is waiting for you. Don't be impulsive. We'll avenge you."
"Simon..." Finnian instinctively looked surprised. "What's his connection to Simon?"
As he spoke, the sound of movement came from inside the house. The officer holding Benjamin looked confused, while Finnian noticeably froze when he realized where the noise was coming from.
"At the end of your rope and still curious about other people's relationships?"
A voice came from the bathroom direction, tinged with mockery, "Mr. Brown, you're much more cowardly than I imagined."
Kelvin, who had supposedly left, appeared before everyone and winked at Sienna.
Seeing Kelvin appear completely unharmed, Finnian's heart sank.
This was Kelvin's first time seeing Finnian in person.
Identical faces—anyone who didn't know them well would struggle to tell them apart at first glance.
Kelvin stared at Finnian's face for a long moment, remaining silent.
Finnian smiled coolly, appearing intrigued. "How did you find the secret passage?"
"I told you it wasn't me," Kelvin said, stepping aside. "Bomb, since he's so curious, stop hiding."
As he finished speaking, someone cleared their throat and stepped forward with elegant poise.
It was Alton.
Sienna's eyes lit up, nearly calling out in excitement.
Alton was carrying a silver case, and when Finnian saw it, what little confidence remained on his face completely crumbled.
"Your life," Alton raised his hand slightly toward him. "Want it?"
Finnian's expression flickered.
Alton regarded him coldly and withdrew his hand. "I won't give it to you."
"Where did you find it? Where?" Finnian broke down. "It's impossible for you to have found it!"
"Why not?" Kelvin looked at him. "Don't forget—we have Simon."
Sienna turned her gaze to Alton.
Alton gave her a slight smile. "You've got quite a brother. To settle the score for you, he had me roughing it in Harmony City for all this time."
Sienna looked confused. "What?"
Alton rubbed his nose somewhat guiltily. "Thea probably told him about how I wasn't exactly welcoming to you at first."
Warmth flooded through Sienna's heart. She knew Alton was joking.
Simon must have gone to great lengths to locate these research findings, otherwise, he would have told her.
Kelvin switched to contact Ruben, "Ruben, have all the victims been safely rescued?"
"Rescue complete," came the reply, though Ruben's voice was heavy. "Kelvin, make sure he stays alive to face legal justice!"
From Ruben's tone, Kelvin knew the situation was far more complicated than they had anticipated.
"Understood," Kelvin glanced at Finnian. "We'll complete the mission."
"The password—you couldn't possibly know the password!"
Finnian clung to one last hope. "You won't know the case's password, and there are backups on the computer. Even if something happens to me and you get this case, what good will it do you?"
Kelvin and Alton both laughed simultaneously.
Then Alton crouched down, laid the case flat, and his hands moved briefly over the combination lock. The case opened.
Finnian's eyes widened, his breathing becoming rapid.
Alton opened the case completely and removed the documents inside, waving them. "To prevent you from thinking we're tricking you with fakes, would you like to verify the merchandise?"
"The computer—what about the computer?" Finnian suddenly lost his confidence. "How could you possibly know the computer's password?"
"Simon was trained by you," Alton fixed him with a cold stare. "He's smarter than you imagined. Was it difficult? For him, it was just a matter of time. It took longer than expected, but it doesn't matter—we got what we needed."
After speaking, he pulled out a storage device from his pocket. "Everything's right here. Care to guess if I'll let you see it?"
"The answer is no."
Alton tossed the storage device into the case and locked it again. "I won't show you. This material can accompany you to your grave."
He stood up, carried the case to Sienna, and said, "Sienna, my mission is complete. Time for me to withdraw?"
Sienna smiled sweetly. "Thanks, brother-in-law."
Alton frowned. "We're on duty—don't call me brother-in-law!"
Sienna grinned mischievously. "Thank you, Officer."
Alton snorted with amusement and walked past her.
Outside, he saw Bruce in the hallway.
Alton approached him. "Bruce, want to go in and throw a couple of punches?"
Bruce's eyes were red. Seeing Alton made him awkward at first, but a shared glance between them ended in a smile that said everything.
Bruce patted his shoulder. "Don't leave yet—let me buy you a drink!"
"I'll be staying a few days," Alton smiled. "I'm definitely taking you up on that drink."
Bruce's eyes reddened again, and he repeated "good" several times.
Alton smiled at him and left with the case.
Inside the room, utter despair washed over Finnian's face, quickly replaced by viciousness. He slowly stood up. "Fine, well played. Where's Simon? I want to see Simon!"
"You'll never see him again in this lifetime," Kelvin said. "He only focused on backing you into a corner. Seeing you once would disgust him."
Finnian laughed coldly and looked at Sienna. "You've seen his medical records, haven't you?"
Sienna stared directly at him. "What are you trying to say?"
"They're fake," Finnian smirked. "His actual condition is much worse. You don't know, do you? He's been secretly taking medication for years. The early tests and the drugs he's been taking have damaged his kidneys. Take him to a hospital for an examination and see how many days that kidney has left."
