When Dennis came to mind, Dan saw again the image of Derrick putting a bullet through his

head.

Dennis had been by his side for so many years.

The attempt on Marie’s life had been Dennis’s own decision.

And yet to have fallen to Derrick’s hand like that—it was a bitter pill Dan could not swallow.

Conan said, “You wouldn’t let me touch her.”

At that, Conan’s tone carried clear resentment.

It was only because Dan had forbidden him from harming Marie and her people that he’d had to suffer such humiliation at the hands of that woman.

If not for Dan’s order, he would have snapped that woman’s neck long ago.

How could he allow her to strut in front of him like that?

Dan was speechless.

The mention of Marie silenced Dan completely. He dropped the subject without another word.

Before he could speak again, Conan changed the topic. “Mr. Derrick is already in Noctarth.”

Being beaten by a woman was shameful enough; he didn’t care to dwell on it.

At the sound of Derrick’s name, Dan narrowed his eyes, his gaze flashing with cold malice.

“Where is he now?”

Dan’s voice cut like ice.

“I tracked his movements. At this moment, Mr. Derrick is-”
