Shadow was extremely jealous. Although she was the first one to know Leonard and the one he cared most about, Freya's appearance took everything away from her. Leonard even went as far as expelling her from the organization for this woman. What truly enraged Shadow was that Leonard warned her for Freya's sake, even going so far as to issue a kill order, mobilizing the S organization and assassins from the dark web worldwide to hunt her down.

She was filled with hatred, having devoted herself faithfully to Leonard for so many years, only to end up in this situation. And now, to her dismay, she was told that Freya had never done anything wrong to her, which angered her even more.

Leo, seeing his unwavering obsession, sighed deeply. "Leonard has never given you hope. The person he has loved all along is Freya. Let go, forgive yourself and forgive others."

He loved Shadow, but he never once thought of using unethical means to win her over, opting instead to use his passionate spirit to try to move her. However, he was proven wrong. Her heart was as hard as stone, indifferent to his feelings, let alone accepting him. Entrusting his identity to Shadow, Leo thought she would be grateful, only to realize that she was merely nurturing her own ambitions, not caring in the slightest about his well-being.

He was once the most famous sniper and master of disguise in the international arena. However, due to a life-saving favor, he transformed himself into someone else's appearance, living a half-dead existence. At times, he wondered about the meaning of continuing this unfulfilled unrequited love. It might be better to end it decisively.

"Shut up, just shut up!" Shadow roared at him with a fierce look in his eyes. "Even if I can't have it, I will destroy it. Don't get in my way, or I won't spare you either."

Shadow had trapped herself in a fortress of rock at this point, unable to listen to anyone. Unrequited love realized deeply that she had gone mad. If she wasn't stopped, it would only end in a painful outcome.

Helplessly watching as Shadow headed towards the laboratory, unrequited love picked up her phone and made a call. "Dr. Rob, whatever Shadow asks you to do, remember, do not let her harm that child."

...

In the medical room.

Inside the office.

Freya, Ella, and Xavier sat on the couch discussing the issue of a traitor.

Freya held the blood report of James in her hand and asked in a serious tone, "Doctor Yolanda, when the Bradley Sect planted many undercover agents in laboratory, was James among them?"

After two tests, it was confirmed that there were mutations in James's blood.

The quickest way to cause such mutations in the blood is by injecting bestial venom.

James mentioned that he was among those undercover agents. Freya felt it necessary to confirm with Doctor Xavier for verification.

Xavier narrowed his eyes and carefully recalled the list that Gabriel had shown him. It seemed that James was indeed on it.

"Yes, he was." Xavier nodded.

Freya agreed, "The blood report confirms that James had been injected with a significant amount of bestial venom."

As for what James had said, Freya did not believe it at all.

Accidentally coming in contact with bestial venom could not have caused such a drastic change in his blood. The genes in James's blood had clearly been damaged, indicating that he had been injected with a significant and prolonged dosage.

This suggests that James may have been one of the original subjects of the experiment.

However, it is not the time to be tangled with James's bloodthirsty issue now, but James's identity, and how to use him to find Shadow's hiding place.

"James tampered with the chicken soup, which is enough to prove that he is the spy hidden in the dark web. Next, we can prepare to let the tiger go back to the mountain, and follow the clues to find Shadow and rescue Matthew."

"What is your plan?" Xavier asked.

Freya hooked her lips and said, "James did not confront me directly. I guess he should be mindful that everyone around is from the dark web, afraid of losing his life, so he temporarily retreated."

"So I guess, in these past few days, James will definitely choose to evacuate, after all, he already knows that I am beginning to suspect him."

Xavier nodded heavily, "I will have someone keep an eye on James, and notify you immediately of any movement. But rest assured, Bradley instructed us before leaving, to always watch over your personal safety. So even if we need to track James, it will be done by me and Ella, you can stay in the medical room waiting for news."

Freya put away the report and said firmly, "No, I want to personally rescue Matthew. He must be feeling extremely helpless right now, and the person he most wants to see is me."

"But..."

"There's nothing to debate about. I promise not to act recklessly, or joke around with my own life and the child's. Just follow my plan!"

Ella knew Freya's character, once she decided on something, no one could pull her back.

Therefore, she didn't say anything and just agreed to her decision.

...

Three days later.

According to the plan, Xavier deliberately moved away many people under the pretext of having leads, giving James the opportunity to leave.

James had been looking for the best time to leave, and seized the chance to sneak out of the medical room without a word.

Unbeknownst to him, Xavier did not actually leave, but instead had people lurking nearby.

When James thought he had left without a trace, he didn't realize that he was being watched.

Xavier immediately contacted Freya, who was already prepared. After some disguise, Freya quietly followed behind James.

After seeing James leave the medical room and ensuring that there was no one following him, he hailed a taxi to leave.

Freya was about to stop a car to catch up, but to her surprise, a black SUV slowly stopped in front of her. The window rolled down slowly, and Ella's voice came through, "Freya, get in the car!"

From the start of the implementation of the plan, Xavier and Ella have been waiting in the shadows.

Even though they agreed to Freya's actions, they were worried about her facing danger alone.

The current Shadow has gone mad, and she has also captured the developer of the beastly venom. No one can guarantee what she might do.

Before leaving, Bradley repeatedly instructed to ensure the safety of Freya. Last time, Xavier lost Matthew, this time they must protect Freya safe and sound.

Once in the car, Xavier and James kept a safe distance to avoid being discovered, but their plan failed.

"Look, he's heading towards the outskirts."

The taxi in front suddenly made a U-turn at the intersection. Xavier was about to catch up when Freya stopped him.

"Don't worry, even if he escapes our sight, I can still track him."

After speaking, Freya opened the mobile positioning system, and a dynamic red dot appeared on the map.
