Chapter 567:

The proximity of death turned Fraser’s blood to ice, prompting him to quickly regain his composure.

He instinctively took a step back, his gaze slipping away from Red Jack as he muttered, “I don’t care how you handle it, just deal with Ashton soon. Things are starting to get risky for us.”

Red Jack sheathed his knife with a nonchalant shrug. “I don’t need you telling me how to do my job. I was already planning to take out Ashton. But what about you? You keep pushing all the tough stuff onto me.”

Fraser let out a bitter laugh, his eyes sparkling with cunning. “Ashton may have seized control of Sup Group, but in doing so, he has left our true intentions untouched. He likely hasn’t realized that my ultimate trump card lies within the police force he trusts so blindly. As long as our planted agents keep quiet, my scheme can roll on without a hitch. As for Sup Group… once we succeed, Staville will be ours. A mere Sup Group will be nothing but a footnote in our grand narrative!”

With the discreet support of Staville’s elite, the merger between Sup Group and Skyline Group was completed without a hitch. This move significantly enhanced the prospects of Skyline Group’s branch, quickly making it a standout in Staville’s business circle.

For Ashton, a major benefit was using his role as company head to secure some documents left behind by the Dark Night Organization within Sup Group.

Upon transferring these documents to law enforcement, Rayden immediately directed a raid on several of the Dark Night Organization’s illegal underground operations in Staville.

However, these factories were only minor parts of the operation and did not involve the organization’s secret chemical weapons program.

The most sensitive documents regarding these chemicals had been swiftly moved following the secret arrest of Egan. This made Ashton wonder if someone had warned them beforehand.

Indeed, the details of Egan’s transfer to Warship Isle were supposed to be a secret, known to very few within the police.

Despite his doubts, Ashton entertained the notion that Fraser might have acted swiftly after knowing from Red Jack that their plan had failed.

Though the campaign against Fraser yielded tangible successes, it was frustrating that the key evidence needed to definitively link Fraser remained out of reach.

Ever since Ashton had rescued Alisha, she seemed to have taken an interest in him, intrigued by a man with such distinguished skills in both combat and medicine.

Yet, whenever Alisha questioned her father about Ashton, she received only vague replies, which piqued her interest even more.

During her recovery, Alisha started visiting Ashton frequently. She assisted with sorting company papers and tried to engage him about his interests.

At first, Ashton thought nothing of it. But over time, he grew aware of Alisha’s increasingly frequent visits.

Additionally, he noticed a shift in her gaze, similar to the way Rosalie used to look at him.
