Lisanne was in such anguish that she almost couldn’t control her emotions. Grabbing Winnie’s arms, she launched a barrage of questions. “Didn’t you see where he fell with your own eyes? Don’t you know where exactly you were back then? You know his identity. Are you going to tell me you didn’t visit his organization and unit after returning to the country? How could his body still not be brought back yet?”

Her grip was so tight that it was hurting Winnie, but the latter didn’t even budge. “I did all I could after what happened, Lisanne. There were people chasing after us and trying to kill us at the bottom of the building back then. That person had a grudge against me and Christopher. We don’t know if he took Christopher’s body away or not.”

“Who is he?” Lisanne’s grip tightened further. “What is his name? What does he look like? How do we contact him? Where can we find him?”

“It’s pointless to ask these questions, Lisanne. That place is very dangerous.” Winnie gently informed, “Even If I know the answers to all your questions, I won’t tell you. Besides, I have no idea where he is right now. If I could contact him, I would’ve been looking for him already.”

At that moment, Lisanne wasn’t registering anything Winnie said. “That’s all the more reason you should tell me everything you know about him. Just because you can’t find him doesn’t mean others can’t. I can ask Lucas to help me. On top of that, I have my own resources.”

“Lisanne.” A sigh escaped Winnie’s mouth. “I’ve already asked Lucas to help me. However, there still hasn’t been any breakthrough yet. You should wait for our news instead of throwing yourself into the fire.”

“No, I will find him. Even if I can’t retrieve Christopher’s body in the end, I still want to avenge him! I’m begging you, Winnie. Please tell me the identity of the person who killed Christopher. I will make him pay in blood!”

When Winnie was retelling the events that unfolded in Manchernius earlier, she had already avoided mentioning Xavier. Yet, Lisanne was bringing up the question again.

She didn’t want to twist the truth and lie to Lisanne about who pushed Christopher off the building. However, she just couldn’t bring herself to say it either.
