Chapter 622: Reunion

Ashbury Secret Prison housed prisoners unlike those known to the outside world. These were not ordinary criminals; even murderers did not qualify for incarceration here. Currently, only three prisoners were detained: Joshua, Jasper, and Vivienne.

Vivienne was no longer formidable. Her body was decaying, yet she was not close to dying, and her senses were even sharper than those of a healthy, robust man. Consequently, the pain she could feel was more than tenfold that of an ordinary person.

Joshua also endured excruciating pain daily, living a life of torment. Like Prometheus pecked by an eagle, his organs were damaged daily, only to regenerate anew the next day. This was the punishment Tina had devised for him.

In comparison, Jasper, who was confined alongside them, had it relatively easy. He did not suffer from physical ailments but was instead endlessly tasked with printing exam papers. Jasper accepted his fate quite well, even identifying errors on the papers and discussing corrections with the guards from the X Bureau. Many said that Jasper was the quietest among the three.

When Tina and Natalie arrived, Jason and Courtney were waiting at the door. "Miss Reed, Aunt Natalie," Courtney greeted them, placing bracelets on Tina and Natalie's wrists. Previously, as Jared's subordinate, Tina had not needed such devices. But now, things were different.

Jason collected all devices that could connect to the outside world, occasionally casting curious glances at Natalie. Natalie, smiling, handed everything over to Jason, "It's rude to keep staring."

"Sorry, Captain," Jason quickly averted his gaze, still curious about what made Natalie so revered by Jared that he willingly called her his master.

"No need to call me Captain; I'm not planning to return to the X Bureau," Natalie said with a smile, then walked inside. Tina knew well that Natalie had no intention of returning to the X Bureau. Given the current extensive changes within, and the many restrictions that Natalie, who was accustomed to freedom, would find unbearable.

"Mom, this way," Tina pointed to the cell on the right.

However, Natalie's gaze was drawn to the cell on the left, secured with a high-grade lock. "Joshua is inside there, the leader of CK known as White Tiger," Tina explained.

Natalie nodded, but for some reason, she felt an unusual ambivalence about this cell, as if she was reluctant yet compelled to approach.

Seeing Natalie's complexion change, Tina asked, "Mom, do you want to go in?"
