At the same time, Venom brought Brook Thorin and Tara Thorinback to Erebus.
Venom escorted them to the control room, but did not see 1-2. 1-1 was the only one sitting on the sofa, staring at the screen on the control panel, smoking in silence.
“Boss, where’s 1-2?”
All the operators in the control room looked at 1-1. They didn’t dare to bring up the incident where 1-1 killed 1-2 without hesitation.
They all had numbers embedded on their clothes, indicating a higher level than regular operatives, and they were in a cooperative relationship with 1-1.
However, 1-2 was of a higher level than them, yet 1-1 still killed 1-2?
They were well aware that when they encountered conflicting interests like 1-2, 1-1 would also kill them.
As all the operators hesitated whether to leave Erebus, Carson returned.
“Venom, Griffon used the chip to control 1-2, threatening the boss with their lives, so 1-2 was shot dead by 1-3.”
With just a simple statement, Carson understood what had happened during his absence. Carson broke out in a cold sweat.
1-2 had worked diligently for Erebus for so many years, and in the end, was shot dead by a junior?
What would be the result of him helping Griffon to kill to the upper area?
Carson raised his pale face, looking at the man sitting in the first place. “Boss, Nick has followed you for so many years. You don’t want to find a way to save him, but instead killed him. It really makes me feel disappointed.”
Carson, as if knowing his own fate, did not hide his feelings and directly rebuked 1-1. For the first time, 1-1 did not act directly, only looked at him expressionlessly.
“You asked me before why I didn’t let you manage Erebus, this is the reason.”
Carson was soft–hearted and attached to emotions, such a person was not suitable to be a leader.
Although 1-1 did not act directly against Carson, he still felt aggrieved. He also didn’t care about what 1-1 meant, turned around and left, but 1-1 stopped him.
“I won’t hold you accountable for your mistakes. Bring Brook Thorin and Tara Thorinin.”
Carson was taken aback, seemingly not expecting 1-1 to let him go.
He turned back, looking at 1-1 who was still smoking. “I thought you would kill me.”
1-1 took the cigarette out of his mouth and exhaled a smoke ring. “I like killing, but I don’t kill indiscriminately.”
The implication was that he had no choice but to kill Nick.
“I can’t be restricted by Griffon because of Nick. Only by finding S’s founder from Griffon can you take revenge.”
These words struck a chord with everyone. They slowly relaxed and sat down.
“It’s a pity that 1-2 died, but he died for a reason.” After taking another drag of his cigarette, 1-1 sighed, “To achieve great things, there will inevitably be sacrifices.”
Although Carson agreed with 1-1’s words, he knew that 1-1 spared him only to stabilize the shaken morale.
If 1-1 killed him at this time, Erebus would be in chaos.
As the leader, 1-1 would never allow such a thing to happen. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Carson understood this, but did not show it on his face, only nodded to 1-1. “I’ll bring the father and daughter in.”
Tara came in, with her arms crossed and wearing high heels.
She considered herself a great contributor to Erebus, not only providing the list of S members but also revealing the identity of the S leader.
Therefore, after entering, without waiting for 1-1 to speak, she sat directly in the single position opposite the head of the conference table, leaning back in the chair, crossing her legs arrogantly.
