Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

He could not expose the details of the mission to Winnie, but looking at how the circumstances had evolved, he had no choice but to speak up.

“This is a twist of fate. Initially, I was supposed to lead my team here to back up my soldier, but he was sacrificed in an accident. However, he had stayed here and worked hard for three years, so we could not easily give up the achievements he had exchanged with his life. As a result, I carried out an order given to me to remain here temporarily despite the danger. I’ve rarely revealed myself when I participated in the local raids in recent years and have never been targeted by any drug cartels. Still, I cannot entirely exclude the possibility that Zyon may recognize my appearance, so he’s a massive liability to me. My death is insignificant if he exposes me, but the bigger concern will be the interruption of the trail of clues my soldier had acquired with much difficulty. We’ll need to restart our operation from scratch again if that happens. That means more sacrifices to be made and more blood to be spilled. Every year, many narcotics officers suffer horrible deaths at the hands of drug dealers, which is something none of us wish to happen.”

“I understand.” Winnie suddenly began regarding Christopher with much more respect after knowing he decided to remain in his position despite being aware of how much danger he was putting himself in. “Then, what do you plan to do now?”

He furrowed his brows while cleaning the bloodstained gun around his waist before placing it on the table. “Under such circumstances, my only option is to eliminate Zyon first.”

She nodded. “He deserves to die. When he escaped from Avenport, he blew up a huge cargo ship, causing three people to die in the explosion and nine to be gravely injured. One of the people who died was a policeman. After all the crimes he committed, the only punishment that awaits him upon his capture will be execution by shooting.”

“Yes.” He pursed his lips. “Everyone here is involved in at least one murder case, perhaps even more. All of them escape to this place because they committed heinous crimes in their respective countries. All the people here are ruthless and despicable. You shouldn’t have come here.”

“I know, but there’s something I must do.” Winnie gazed at Christopher and knitted her brows. “There’s something else I need to ask you.”

“Go ahead.”

I can share with you some details related to Professor White because even if I don’t tell you, you’ll be able to sound these things out anyway since all the drug dealers in Lightspring know about this. Harold is one of the three most powerful drug lords in this region, and two major factors contribute to his rapid success. The first reason is his control over vast amounts of firearms, and the other is the drug formulation he possesses. While the other two drug lords were still planting poppy plants to extract the opium, Harold had already built factories to facilitate his manufacturing process. Professor White is the source of Harold’s drug formulation. However, the factory’s location is very secluded and is top secret. When I took over my colleague’s position and showed up in front of Harold, I risked my life for him and shielded him from bullets, all to acquire his trust. Yet, I haven’t found out the location of his factory until
