Chapter 590

Chapter 590:

Ashton was stunned for a moment. Then, a spark of anger ignited as he realized the implications. “So? Now that you’re on Warship Isle, do you feel so safe that you thought you could call just to mock me? Don’t think that I can’t do anything to you just because you’re in the military prison. Since I could send you to Warship Isle, I also can put you at the mercy of Fraser.”

Egan immediately sensed Ashton’s anger, so he quickly apologized, “Mr. Baldwin, I’m so sorry. You’ve misunderstood me. That’s not what I meant. I was forced to hide the information from you because I needed a trump card, fearing I’d never see my sons again. But now that I’ve seen those two are fine and are only a bit shaken, I can tell it to you now, feeling at ease.”

Ashton realized Egan intended to share information with him, so his attitude softened slightly. But his tone remained cold when he said, “Get to the point. I have no time to waste on you.”

Egan cleared his throat and began confessing, “I know why Fraser has been trying so hard to orchestrate these terrorist attacks. Over the years, he has secretly trained a group of officials to infiltrate Staville’s government. His goal with these attacks is to manipulate public opinion and force Staville’s high-level officials to step down. Then, he will use means to support his people to rise to power.”

Ashton’s expression instantly became solemn.

“In other words, Fraser wants to indirectly control Staville’s government through this scheme?”

Egan replied affirmatively, “Exactly. I overheard a conversation between Fraser and the Dark Hall’s leader. Fraser is running out of time, so the leader has sent Red Jack, a Diamond-level assassin of Night Palace, to help Fraser bring down Staville’s high-level officials. Unfortunately, I don’t have access to the list of the group of officials trained by the Dark Night Organization. So, this is all I can tell you.”

Although the information Egan had shared was not extensive, it was undoubtedly very important to Ashton now.

Originally, Ashton had doubts about this matter, but he wasn’t sure how far Fraser had gone.

Now, he finally understood that a crisis was approaching Staville. If Fraser’s plan succeeded, the entire city would change.

Rayden didn’t know what Ashton had heard, but he noticed Ashton’s face darkened. So, when Ashton hung up, he quickly asked what was wrong.

Ashton didn’t intend to hide it, so he shared Egan’s revelations with Rayden.

Rayden was equally shocked after hearing everything. He hadn’t expected that the seemingly peaceful Staville was actually teetering on the brink of crisis.

However, Ashton quickly calmed. He smiled and said, “It seems Fraser is ready. This may be good news for us. Mr. Smith, please contact Staville’s high-level officials. This time, we need to devise a series of plans to lure Fraser and his subordinates into taking action. Then, we’ll take the opportunity to capture them in one fell swoop.”

The following day, an official announcement sent shockwaves throughout Staville, igniting heated discussions among people from all walks of life.

“Have you heard? The authorities have announced their plan to demolish the abandoned old district and transform it into a brand-new industrial park.”
