“Damn you, Mulder! You’ve really screwed me over this time.”

Axel gnashed his teeth as rage boiled inside him. Mulder’s betrayal hadn’t just implicated Axel’s sister, but it had also dragged Axel himself into the mess.

Mulder had climbed the ranks to assistant chief of the City Defenders in just a few years, and Axel had played a major role in backing him.

Now that this mess had blown up, Axel was right in the middle of it. No matter how he tried to explain, he was going to take the fall for it.

“Everyone, follow me! Let’s capture that traitor.”

After learning Mulder’s escape route, Axel waved his hand and led his enforcement team out at full speed.

He had already messed up by failing to capture Warrick, which was a serious lapse in duty. Now, with his brother-in-law openly rebelling against them, things had only gotten worse.

If Axel didn’t turn this situation around and bring those traitors to justice, his days as an enforcement team captain were numbered.

After a thorough search, he finally located the hideout where Mulder and his accomplices had been staying. But by the time they arrived, the place was already deserted. All that remained were a few bloodstained clothes.

“Keep searching. I don’t care if you have to tear this city apart-find them!”

After another dead end, Axel was growing increasingly frustrated and barked out a series of orders.

The enforcement team, City Defenders, and all the other guards sprang into action. They launched a full-scale search centered around the hideout.
