Chapter 602: Asher Vance? Romer?

Linden was clearly impatient and seemed unwilling to continue the discussion. "The leader of the organization is Asher Vance, also known as Romer, your so-called top secret," he stated. Jared's tone was firm and beyond question. Linden, thinking Jared was certain, admitted, "Yes, Asher Vance is Romer. Back then, I was the commander-in-chief, but had to defer to the leadership when the plan changed." Jared chuckled, "Figures."

Only then did Linden realize he had been tricked and sighed, "Jared, it doesn't matter whether you doubt me or Christopher, but there's no need to doubt Asher Vance."

"Just because he's your mentor?" Jared raised an eyebrow, his gaze steady on Linden.

Linden nodded, "Yes, Asher Vance is our mentor. He gathered the three of us and led us to where we are now. He's been the most outstanding commander in the history of the X Bureau and your mentor's most admired person, Jared. I guarantee his integrity. Moreover, he wasn't involved in the operation back then!"

"But he was the one who signed off on the operation, Chief Linden. I can't believe you've never doubted him," Jared's tone grew colder.

Linden fell silent, struggling to speak. Indeed, after the mission's failure, not only Natalie but also Christopher and Linden began to harbor deep mistrust towards each other. Unlike Natalie and Christopher, who were emotionally driven and extremely trusting, Linden was more ruthless; he even doubted Asher Vance, the mentor who had introduced him to the field.

Linden had conducted investigations, but Asher Vance was just that-Asher Vance, with no anomalies found. Eventually, Linden shifted his suspicions towards Christopher. This shift was the main reason the rift between Christopher and Linden deepened over time.
