Chapter 485: Tina, You Are Arrested

Tina stared intently for a full thirty minutes before she finally withdrew her gaze. At that moment, Lily had just narrowly escaped death, with one foot still lingering at death's doorstep. "Be gentle, I just gouged out her eyeballs yesterday," Tina said, frowning at Wraith. Wraith nodded, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." As they spoke, the poison afflicting Lily was neutralized.

Tina didn't linger any longer, taking Courtney with her as they left. Just as she closed the door, Wraith yelled from inside, "Tina, you're such a bastard!" Courtney glanced through the glass to see Wraith with his hands and feet on the ground and his head stretched upwards, resembling a turtle emerging from a bath... "Miss Reed, you really take your revenge seriously," Courtney commented, giving a thumbs up silently.

Tina flicked her hair, not one to take an insult lying down. "Let's go," she said, hooking Courtney's neck as they exited the lab together. Just as they were about to get into the car, they both tensed up and swiftly rolled to either side. Two tranquilizer darts struck the car seats exactly where Tina and Courtney had just been standing.

Tina stood at the rear of the car, her face grim as she looked in the direction from which the darts had come. Courtney, standing at the front, looked in the opposite direction, equally alert. Suddenly, agents dressed in the special squad uniforms of Bureau X surrounded them, led by Jason. Jason, in combat gear and goggles, looked surprised. "It's you?" he exclaimed.

Tina's expression remained cold and unyielding. From Jason's reaction, it was clear he hadn't known the identity of his target until that moment. Ha! So much for Bureau X, the protector of national and public safety.

Tina remained silent. After a moment, Jason turned to Courtney, "Courtney, rejoin the squad!" He didn't understand why he was arresting Tina, but now that she was a suspect, and Courtney, being an Bureau X member, had to comply. Courtney glared back, "I rejoin your grandpa!" Tina twitched a smile, looking at Courtney, "Spend less time with Hayden from now on!" The once sweet girl had changed after just a few days with Hayden, now full of crude retorts. Hayden swore, "I swear, she didn't get that from me!" Lysander added, "Actually, it's all from Orson." Orson flatly denied it.

"I order you as the captain of the third squad, return to the team immediately!" Jason shouted.

Courtney stepped behind Tina, "My orders are from General Jared himself, to protect Tina at all costs, no matter who the opponent is!" Jason sighed without further argument. He glanced at the XScreen for instructions, then aimed his gun at Tina, "Tina, you are under arrest, surrender your weapons immediately."

Tina half-bowed her head, "And the reason for my arrest?" Jason pursed his lips, "Evidence indicates that you are CK's mastermind, Tiger."

Tina nearly burst into laughter, "What evidence?" At that moment, a man emerged from behind the Bureau X combatants, limping with a cane. Tina had never met him, but she had memorized his face since she was five. Christopher Parr, her mother's partner.

Christopher Parr approached within two hundred meters of Tina and smiled, "You really do look like Natalie." "Thanks, I hear that a lot," Tina replied with a forced smile, her eyes not mirroring the sentiment. "Captain Parr, you're not here for a reunion, so let's not talk about my mother," she added. Christopher Parr agreed, "You're right, we shouldn't. Let's get to the point." He then produced a confession. "This is from CK's second-in-command, Black Dragon, also known as Vivienne, who confessed three days ago to extend her medical parole. She admitted to everything you had her do, including records of unauthorized transactions using Jared's influence."
