Chapter 436

Without hesitation, Sienna said, "Kelvin gets it. He won't mind. We know where we stand. I'll treat him right."

"Yeah, I know."

Simon spotted Kelvin and the others coming out of the building. He ruffled Sienna's hair. "I'll be home soon. Promise."

Sienna wiped away her tears. "I always believe in you."

"Good."

Simon exhaled. "Come on, let's go see them off. Say goodbye to your mom. You've got a busy night ahead."

"You guys are in Emerald City. I can see you whenever I want, even eight times a day if I feel like it."

Despite her words, Sienna listened to him and ran towards Isadora.

Travis and the others had rushed over from their respective locations. They anxiously asked about the outcome, then hugged and cheered in the night.

Finally, Rhett ran towards where Simon and Benjamin were, while Travis walked towards Kelvin.

They high-fived, their shoulders colliding, standing silently side by side for a moment.

"Remember," Travis said, taking out two cigarettes and handing one to Kelvin, "what we said at our last class meeting before graduation?"

Kelvin smiled silently. "Of course I remember."

We spend our lives under the scorching sun and the biting cold, staying true to our hearts, our country, and our people, with our passion protecting our homeland.

"We did it."

Kelvin took a deep breath. "Travis, we did it, but for some people, this justice came way too late."

"Yeah."

Travis thought of Brenda. He saw Rhett, Benjamin, Simon, and Isadora.

He missed that passionate and kind girl so much, but she had been buried for many years.

Everyone's justice had come, but they had been trapped in the abyss for too long to reach this point.

He exhaled a long breath of smoke. "We've still got a long road ahead."

Kelvin's gaze followed Sienna. Her silhouette was tall and graceful in the night, as if the girl he had first met was just a dream in his mind.

"Look," Travis nudged his shoulder, "that's our star cop, the hero of the precinct."

Kelvin's face lit up with a smile. "That's my girlfriend."

"You didn't say that when you first met her."

"That was because I was blind."

Kelvin gave him a shove. "You've got impeccable timing, don't be a third wheel."

He walked towards Sienna and Simon, seeing Simon wave at him from the car before getting in.

Kelvin stopped and waved back.

The car drove off, and Sienna turned and walked towards him.

Kelvin thought about how every step they had taken had been full of obstacles, but now that the dust had settled, their future should be smooth sailing.

It should be a time of peace and prosperity.

Kelvin didn't go back to the precinct.

He left the follow-up work to Ruben.

He went home with Sienna.

Kelvin was exhausted, his mind filled with Finnian's face.

He closed his eyes in pain. He didn't regret bringing Finnian to justice, but he felt a bit stifled.

He never knew he had a brother, and he owed two huge debts of gratitude.

Hard to repay.

Maybe Finnian didn't even need him to repay.

Sienna sat beside him, gently patting his face. "Kelvin, since when did you get so indecisive? He protected you because he's your brother. Sure, he was a victim once, but he turned into an abuser."

"We can't forgive him for all those who died."

Kelvin covered his face with his hand, his voice muffled. "You're right."

Suddenly, he changed the subject. "Are you hungry? I'll whip up something to eat."

Kelvin was in such a bad mood that he ended up cooking a ton of food.

There was no way the two of them could finish it all.

Sienna took the initiative to invite Leroy, Travis, and the others over.

Someone brought drinks, and someone else brought snacks to go with the drinks.

Especially Travis's wine, from the cellar of the richest man in the country, worth seven figures. Arnold's hand trembled as he held the bottle.

"Travis, I don't dare drink this."

"What's there to be afraid of? Tonight, we're drinking till we drop."

Travis pulled Kelvin close, seeing him looking downcast, and raised his voice. "There's nothing to regret. We each choose our own path in life. You chose to be a cop, and he chose to be a criminal."

"Look, Sienna was in the same environment as him, but her choices were different."

"Kelvin, look ahead."

Kelvin felt comforted.

That night, everyone got drunk.

They lay scattered in Sienna's living room, in various states of disarray.

Arnold was hugging Travis' leg.

Leroy was lying on another couch, muttering to himself.

Kelvin was cleaning up the mess, then put on his jacket and took out the trash. Sienna asked at the door, "Are you coming back?"

Kelvin shook his head. "I'm going home to check on things."

Sienna nodded. "Talk to your parents."

Kelvin reassured her, "Don't worry, I'm not that fragile."

Sienna responded firmly.

After finding out he was adopted, Kelvin felt a bit uneasy going back home.

Steven glanced at him. "What, now that you know you're not our biological son, you can't even call me Dad?"

Kelvin hadn't expected to find out he wasn't their biological son, so he was still struggling to accept it.

But in his heart, he had already considered Steven and Emma his parents.

Kelvin smiled. "Dad, Mom, why did you keep it from me?"

"Finnian didn't want us to tell you. He said it was better for you to live openly, that the past had nothing to do with you."

"Except for that time you almost died and needed blood, Finnian had almost no contact with you. This was probably his only kindness. Don't dwell on it."

Emma, looking at the Kelvin she had raised, walked up and hugged him, patting his back soothingly. "We know this is hard for you, but we can't let Finnian down."

Even though Kelvin had been drinking, he couldn't sleep that night.

Early the next morning, he went to the precinct.

Finnian was being interrogated. He confessed to his crimes without hesitation.

But after killing the previous leader to take over, he had stopped trafficking people and conducting experiments.

However, there was something odd in his words, as if someone else was behind him.

The experimental data had backups.

So, who had the backups?

When it came to this, Finnian avoided the topic.

He only said, "Let Kelvin come see me. I'll only talk to him."
