People don't truly understand desperation until they face it.
Karen was no exception.
He took a deep breath of the earthy air, forcing his panicked heart to calm down. "If I tell you the reason, will you let me go? I know a lot of things that could definitely help you!"
Brian replied indifferently, "First, the reason."
"Well, it was the leader of our A1 team, Vadim's idea. He had wanted Galan to win over one of your group members, whether through bribery or coercion, to become one of us."
Huh?
Brian's face grew more puzzled. "You're saying you weren't specifically targeting me?"
At those words, Karen felt a stir in his heart and nodded.
"Yes.
Actually, I don't know why Galan chose you.
After he disappeared,
Vadim handed the task over to me.
He told me to turn one of you against your group, then find opportunities to sabotage the cases you take on.
I was worried that Galan's death was related to this mission, so I spent some time investigating.
