“I’ll look into this and make sure nothing like this happens after the election.” Richard got up and was

about to leave. Scarlet got up as well and held his hand with concern. “Be careful, Richard. Your

uncle’s hurt. I don’t want anything to happen to you either.”

Richard nodded. “I’ll be careful. Stay with uncle. Call me when he wakes up.” “Okay.” She let his hand

go, but still she was worried.

The long night finally came to an end, and the crime scene was already cleaned up. All that was left

was the charred ground and some shards. The place was cordoned off, and the cops said this was

nothing but a car crash.

Nobody knew an assassination just happened the night before.

Ruka was reading a book on the balcony of the residence early in the morning, but she kept spacing

out. Her attention was not on the book. She kept checking her phone. Ruka texted him once, but he

didn’t reply. He’s probably busy with work and didn’t see it.

Elijah came back to the hospital after spending the night getting interrogated. His head was bandaged.

He kept watch on Ren, still looking worried.

The doctor had checked up on him twice. Ren was unconscious because he lost too much blood, but

the doctors would also consider other factors as well. They wouldn’t risk anything here.

The people tending to Ren this time were the director’s lieutenant and the one he trusted the most.

They had to make sure nothing would happen to Ren.

Ren let out a raspy cough and slowly opened his eyes. There was a sense of confusion in his eyes.

“Ren? Ren, are you awake? Ren!” Scarlet held his hand and called out to him anxiously.

Ren blinked and nodded. “I’m fine, Scarlet.” “Call the doctor,” Walter told Elijah.

Elijah happily obliged, and Silas was the one who came back with him. Silas had flown straight back

the night before, putting his important research aside.

“How do you feel?” Silas asked. “Feels like something’s burning.”

“Probably because the bullet scalded your muscles. You’re lucky the bullet hit your back.” Silas went

through the injury report, and his heart skipped a beat. If the bullet hit him just a bit lower, it would have

pierced his heart.

“Those slimy b*stards kidnapped a three year-old girl and used her as a moving target. The girl would

have died if Mr. Husson hadn’t moved quickly enough,” Elijah said. He admired Ren for his sympathetic

side. The man actually blocked a bullet for a child without even hesitating.

“Let’s stop talking about that. Stay calm until the announcement comes out,” Ren said. The pain on his

body was making him frown.

Anyone else would have screamed in pain already. The agony brought by a bullet was not something

everyone could endure. Silas left the room and called Elijah out. “Get someone to tend to him.

Someone close to him, preferably. I don’t trust the hospital staff.”

Scarlet and Walter had gone home. They were getting too old to stay up too late at night. Oh, I know

who can do this. Mr. Husson told me not to tell Ruka about this, but he’ll feel better if she’s here.

“I’ll get someone.” Elijah nodded and left.

He arrived at the Singed Residence an hour later and rang the doorbell. Ruka was in the living room,

preparing the ingredients for their next meal with her mother. She said, “I’ll take it.”

She opened the door and saw Elijah outside, though she was shocked to see him in this state. “What

happened to your head, Elijah?”
