With that, Quinton began talking about Blade and Katrina’s story in a heavy tone.
“I once sent Katrina to get close with Blade; I wanted her to take the opportunity to obtain his background information. I couldn’t decide between recruiting him for my own use or killing him… I didn’t expect Katrina to fall in love with him and betray me.”
As he delved deep into his story, both Quinton and Michael took several drags from a cigarette as they talked about this matter. The two of them put aside their differences temporarily, talking in front of their father’s grave and reaching a state of cooperation.
Quinton continued, “In the end, I tricked Katrina and lured her back to Cethos under the pretense of dealing with you. It seems like they haven’t broken up yet—Blade once sent someone to ask about Katrina’s whereabouts.”
By then, Michael had fiercely put out the cigarette in his hand. Although he still hated Quinton, he knew that all of it was already in the past.
Apart from killing Sophia, Blade was probably here in Cethos to search for Katrina. However, both Katrina and Celine were gone; everything had gone back to square one. Now, Celine was a brand-new person who was about to give birth to her second child.
Michael and his sister grew up without their parents and had suffered many hardships. In particular, Celine had suffered the most; now that she could finally live an easy and happy life, Michael was not going to allow anyone to hurt his sister ever again.
Blade’s main purpose of coming to Cethos was Sophia; no matter it was against Sophia or Celine, Michael was determined to remove this evil and pinpoint the employer behind it.
Speaking of the employer… Michael lit up another cigarette and asked Quinton, “How much do you know about this employer’s hidden strength?”
Quinton blew out a puff of smoke and replied with uncertainty, “He’s probably just as strong as Cooper and Fass combined… In fact, I’m not so sure myself. That person is much better than Cooper in terms of hiding his strengths. Having two identities, he manages his family’s business as well as his wife’s. Moreover, nobody knows about his dual identity; he started a family on both sides with very outstanding offspring.”
“I don’t know what his other identity is, but it’s certainly not weaker than Fass. His influence is so far out that he even has people in the Michel Family with substantial power to threaten Fass and Cooper’s status. He wanted to recruit you in the beginning, but you refused. Hence, I was asked to destroy you. After thinking about it, the quickest way was to kidnap your wife. After going ahead with the plan, you fell into despair and wallowed around for a period of time. As a result, you managed to hide yourself from his spies.”
Soon, they became silent and quietly smoked cigarettes in the cemetery. Michael wanted to say something, but after holding it in for the entire day, he decided to forget about it. He blew out a puff of smoke and stubbed out his cigarette. As he searched all over his body for another cigarette without finding one, he stood up and said to Quinton, “Leave me your number so that I can contact you.”
Quinton silently left his phone number before walking away.
On the other hand, Michael was lost in thought as he stared at Quinton’s back.
In terms of temperament and appearance, Quinton really resembled Theo… When Theo died, he was almost the same age as Quinton and when Michael looked at Quinton; Michael felt like he was staring at his father that he remembered!
He was the replica of Theo and had perfectly inherited all of his father’s qualities. Theo became the God of War because he was born into the Fletcher Family, yet Quinton became a notorious assassin because he came from Tanya’s belly.
Needless to say, it would’ve been great if Quinton was born into the Fletcher Family instead!
After Quinton left, Michael was staring at his father’s tombstone when Hale walked up to him and asked, “What should we do next, boss?”
Michael’s heart sank when he thought about the information Quinton had left behind.
“If it’s really like what he said, we can’t fight this with our own power; we will need some help from Cooper.”
