Chapter 789 Never Kill Innocents

The basement.

Bradley held Freya's hand and walked in step by step.

In front of them, Harrison and Lawrence were tied together to chairs.

Their faces looked identical, and it was hard to tell them apart if not for the injuries on Lawrence from Bradley’s beating.

Freya squinted her eyes as she observed the two, finally focusing on Harrison and asked, "Is this the person caught by South?"

Bradley nodded, "Yes, he is Harrison."

As he finished speaking, he snapped his fingers, and another person was brought in by Lance and tied to a chair beside them.

Now, the three faces looked almost identical, leaving Freya feeling dizzy.

But Bradley remained extremely calm, gesturing for Lance to take off the jackets of Harrison and Simon. Freya had no idea what the men were up to, but she could see that all three of them were shirtless, with the exception of Pine, both men had wounds on their waists and backs.

Before Freya could speak up, Bradley spoke up, "Freya, do you remember the scene where we bandaged Simon's wounds?"

"I remember."

At that time, Bradley had deliberately made things difficult for Simon, even demanding a full-body examination from him.

Initially she was not sure of the man's intentions, but now seeing the wounds on the two men's waists, she suddenly realized.

"So the person who was supposed to have the full body examination wasn't Simon?"

"Smart!" Bradley chuckled lightly, "Originally it was supposed to be Simon, but when he went to the restroom, he switched identities with Harrison, so it was Harrison who had the full body examination, not Simon."

Upon hearing Bradley's explanation, Freya also suddenly understood, saying, "No wonder I felt something was off at the time. When we were bandaging the wounds, the wounds were in the middle of the waist, but during the full-body examination, the position of the wounds seemed to be a few centimeters off. It turns out they were not the same person."

At the time, she had thought she was seeing things, so she didn't tell Bradley.

Unexpectedly, it wasn't a case of mistaken identity, but rather the two brothers had already switched places. Bradley's sharp gaze swept over the three individuals, with a chilling glint in his eyes and his voice as cold as ice, "And the day at the old mansion, the assassination attempt on Simon was also a bitter trick. He had already sensed our suspicions towards him, which is why he purposely arranged for you to meet at the villa, with Harrison playing the role of the assassin to attack him."

"Everyone he did was to dispel our suspicions, shifting all the blame onto the assassin, in order to deceive and hide his identity."

"But his cleverness backfired. Despite the defensive measures at the Imperial Garden Villa, he allowed Harrison to investigate his identity and even let Lawrence break into the study in an attempt to kidnap you. If it weren't for the three brothers showing up together, this game could have continued for a while. Unfortunately, this move was a misstep, and they now face a dead end."

At this point, the chill in Bradley's eyes deepened even further.

His dark and icy gaze fell sharply on Simon, before lifting his foot and kicking him hard in the face.

"Speak, why did you attempt to assassinate the lady?"

Simon was saved by Xavier more than a dozen years ago, and has since stayed by his side as an assistant.

Over the years, Simon worked hard and diligently studied, although he did not learn the medical essence of Xavier, he also helped Xavier cure many difficult illnesses.

Back when Bradley was disfigured and disabled, Simon also helped with his treatment.

Bradley trusts Xavier, and he also trusts Simon. But he never expected that he was actually nurturing a wolf in sheep's clothing, almost causing harm to Freya! Simon was kicked so hard that he spat out blood and lost two front teeth. He grimly said, "If it weren't for this woman's appearance, perhaps I could have been loyal to you for a lifetime. But her presence has doomed us to be enemies!" With a malicious glare at Freya, Simon's voice was filled with bying-chilling killing intent. "Do you remember Kurt?" Freya carefully recalled the name in her mind. But with time passing and numerous tasks she had undertaken as Mystica, she had killed so many people that it was hard to remember. Who was The White Fox? She truly couldn't remember. "It seems you are truly forgetful, even forgetting the people you've killed. Since you can't remember, let me remind you." Simon's eyes brimmed with a hatred capable of destroying heaven and earth, as if he wanted to devour Freya. "Five years ago, you accepted an assassination mission to seize a treasure, and the target was a master tomb raider, who was Kurt."

Upon hearing this, Freya's heart clenched tightly.

When it comes to the master tomb raider, all the memories gradually flooded into her brain.

Freya remembered that she had indeed carried out a mission five years ago, and this mission was her last cooperation with the dark web.

She looked at Simon and said in a firm tying, "Stop beating around the bush, just tell me who this person is."

As the Dark Spirit, she had killed countless people, but never indiscriminately.

The people who died at her hands were mostly irredeemable villains, and even if they fell into the hands of the police, they would ultimately meet a fatal end.

Therefore, she had no guilt in her heart!

Seeing her lack of remorse, Simon laughed heartily, "Kurt is our father, Mystica. The three of us brothers share an unending bond of revenge with you for patricide!"

He too had been severely injured after a failed tomb raid, only to be saved by Xavier, where he also learned the art of medicine.

Slowly influenced by the concept of saving lives, Simon made up his mind to turn over a new leaf and become a good doctor.

But who would have known, at this moment, Freya appeared!

At first, Simon did not realize Freya's identity. It was only when Freyaoyuxue fainted and was placed in the medical room that he accidentally overheard a conversation between The White Fox and Freya, and learned that Freya was a mysterious spirit.

At that moment, the desire for revenge quickly filled his chest, prompting him to seek vengeance.

"Kurt's death was of his own making. Even if I don't kill him, do you really think he can escape the legal consequences?"

As an experienced tomb raider who dared to enter even centuries-old tombs and had stolen national treasures, such a serious crime warranted the death penalty.

She killed Kurt just to rid the country of a cancerous tumor.

Therefore, she didn't care at all about Simon's anger.

Simon clenched his fists tightly, knowing full well that his father had committed a capital offense.

Even if the law were to punish him, Mystica would not allow it.

Furthermore, his father had already decided to retire and live out his remaining years in peace, but Mystica had destroyed his wishes.

"You can love and hate as you please. The three of you brothers were probably involved in the tomb robbery case back then. Even if we don't kill you today, do you think you can escape legal punishment?" Freya chuckled coldly. With just ying phone call from her, she could definitely alarm the entire city's armed police brigade."
