The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never

Remington, however, was frustrated by the lack of progress in his investigation.

All potential suspects had been ruled out, and the trail had gone cold, like a kite drifting aimlessly without its string.

When Remington was lost in the midst of this confusion, Conor knocked solemnly on the door of his office.

Sir, Miss Moore reported that she might have found a clue that could aid our investigation.

Remington looked up, surprised.

Come in.

Whats the clue? Miss Moore discovered a post on the Dark Web.noveldrama

It appears someone offered 8@ million dollars for the assassination of Mr.

Wagner, Conor explained as he handed his phone to Remington. Remington scrutinized the post, his brow furrowing.

Has the person who posted this been identified? Miss Moore traced the source.

She believes theyre planning a significant operation, and not just against Mr.

Wagner… you might be a target as well, Conor said, his voice tinged with concern.

We need to act swiftly, Remington said decisively.

He picked up the phone from his desk and faced Conor.

Gather some men.

We need to confront these people! Meanwhile, back in the hospital, the nurse continued to tend to Peterson.

Outside the room, two new bodyguards conversed quietly.

Did you hear? Mr.

Wagner.

Yes, I heard the family is in turmoil.

We wouldnt be here if it werent for that.

Inside, the nurse leaned closer to Peterson and said, Sir, theres talk outside.

It seems our plans are gradually taking effect.

Just ensure they are captured alive, Peterson responded indifferently, tapping his fingers on the bed.

Understood.

I know what to do. Days later, using the information provided by Hannah, Remington and his team located the lair of the person who posted the bounty.

It was a secluded, gloomy place that reeked of danger, the damp air heavy with menace.

Remington, youve finally arrived.

A figure emerged from the shadows, his voice hoarse and eerie, distorted by the rabbit mask he wore.

Remington scanned the area cautiously and said in a hushed tone, Go and get him! At his signal, Conor and his team, previously concealed in the darkness, sprang into action, engaging in a fierce skirmish with the masked mans associates.

The sounds of the melee-dull thuds and sharp cries of pain-filled the air, creating a chilling scene even for someone as seasoned as Remington.

Who are you? Are you allied with the Moreno family, or do you represent another faction? Remington demanded, fixing his gaze on the man in the rabbit mask.

Hacha, you think the Morenos are your only enemies? This city is full of people who would love to see you dead, the masked man said with a tone of arrogance, as if he held the upper hand.

Is that so? Well, youd better hope you make it out of here alive tonight, Remington replied, his voice icy, as he brandished a silver dagger that gleamed under the faint light.
