Chapter 601: It’s a Trap
Selene could understand every word John Wilkinson said, but she couldn’t grasp the meaning. What was the Celestial Alliance? Who was Sarah Wilkinson? Selene had lost her memory and didn’t remember what she used to do. Even if she had her memory, she wouldn’t know anyone named Sarah Wilkinson. In the Celestial Alliance, no one used their real names. How could she know if there was such a person in the organization?
Every assassin in the Celestial Alliance had a new name and identity from the day they joined. The first thing they did was draw a name. Selene was part of the second batch of members, only five or six years old at the time. Due to the special drugs used by the Celestial Alliance, she had no memories from before that age. Whatever Reginald said was what it was.
Selene shook her head in confusion. “I don’t know her, and I don’t know anything about the Celestial Alliance. I don’t even know where it is. Am I really an assassin for them? The highest level? How could that be? Am I really that skilled?” She muttered to herself, wondering if she was still dreaming or if she’d watched too many cliched TV shows and novels.
To those around her, Selene’s behavior seemed like a tactic to avoid interrogation, a sign of cunning. John Wilkinson’s tone grew colder with frustration. “Selene, pretending in front of me won’t work. Your Celestial Alliance has committed countless crimes. Sooner or later, I’ll bring all of you to justice.”
Selene frowned. “I’m not lying.”
Veridian Fever glanced at Liam and whispered, “What’s going on? Is she really that crafty?”
Liam finally addressed John Wilkinson. “Captain Wilkinson, can we speak privately?”
John Wilkinson gave Selene one last look before following Liam out of the room. Veridian Fever continued the interrogation inside.
Liam explained to John Wilkinson, “There’s been an issue. This assassin has lost her memory and forgotten everything from before.”This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
“Amnesia?” John Wilkinson’s eyes darkened with suspicion. “How convenient.”
“If Selene hadn’t lost her memory, capturing her wouldn’t have been this easy,” Liam replied. “When I found her, she was still working at Terrafirma Group.”
John Wilkinson remained skeptical. “The people from Celestial Alliance are cunning, and Selene is an S-level assassin. This is just another tactic. I’ll take her with me; I have ways to make her talk. Even the hardest mouth will open.”
Liam knew about the anti-terrorism unit’s methods and feared Selene would be harmed if taken away. Since John Wilkinson was in charge of Celestial Alliance cases, Liam had no choice but to let him take her.
…
Outside, Harvey was on the phone with Terrence, seeking help to get Selene out when he saw her being escorted into a car.
“Where are you taking her?” Harvey hung up and rushed over to ask.
John Wilkinson ignored Harvey and got into the passenger seat as the driver started the car.
“Johnny!” Harvey shouted angrily, using his nickname.
John Wilkinson lowered the window and glanced at Harvey. “Harvey, don’t interfere with official business.”
Harvey insisted, “I’ve already told you, Selene has brain issues and amnesia. You won’t get anything out of her. Hand her over to me; maybe she’ll remember something eventually, and I’ll inform you.”
“Harvey, do you know what you’re saying?” John Wilkinson dismissed him and ordered the driver to drive off.
Harvey lacked the authority to stop them and could only watch as John Wilkinson took Selene away.
After the car left, Harvey approached Liam and asked, “If their anti-terrorism unit takes someone in, is it over for them?”
Liam responded, “Selene is part of Celestial Alliance and an internationally wanted criminal. What do you think?”
Harvey felt a chill run down his spine. “So it’s a death sentence for Selene?”
He knew deep down that given Selene’s past actions and identity, once taken in, there would be no coming out.
Liam confirmed, “That’s certain. Mr. Fieldmouse, consider yourself lucky for not being harmed by someone from Celestial Alliance. They are capable of anything.”
Leaving those words behind, Liam turned back inside.
Harvey clenched his fists and decided to try once more. He quickly called Terrence again: “Boss, Selene has been taken by anti-terrorism…”
