Chapter 29: Connecting The Dots

The Tiger was completely wary. This was the first time he had faced such an opponent that made him think the man in front of him was death itself. When did he ever offend someone like this? He really didn't remember. Even though Dead Man Inc was notorious for their ruthlessness, they still avoided coming into contact with dangerous people like Ryan.

"Are you sure you never offended me?" Ryan smiled faintly when he heard him whimper. He then grabbed his hair and said with a smile, "Do I need to tell you what you did today?"

Today?

The real Tiger couldn't think clearly anymore. Fear coupled with pain made him unable to think even though he wanted to. Today? What had the group done today?

"Hmm?" Ryan frowned. Ryan then picked up the Tiger and threw him back against the wall. The Tiger groaned again in pain. What had he done?

"Do you remember?" Ryan looked back at him.

The Tiger raised his head immediately and said, "Is this about the Avalerion Company?"

When he said this, the Tiger's throat was dry.

"You have a pretty good memory." Ryan slapped him softly, "Now tell me, who told you to do it?"

When he heard this, the Tiger managed to find out the origin of this man. He didn't expect that his actions today would lead to this kind of result. He immediately said in a panicked tone, "I'm sorry sir. Forgive this servant's stupidity. I shouldn't have accepted that job from Medellin company. If you let me go, I promise our group will not trouble both the master and the Avalerion company in the future."

Ryan wrinkled his eyes when the Tiger spoke. When he told him about it all, he avoided making eye contact with him.

Lie!

Ryan couldn't be lied to.

"So why are you targeting one of the rooms on the 9th floor? You guys couldn't suddenly appear there by chance because you destroyed my private room." Ryan said, "Is this also an order from the Medellin company?"

The Tiger's face turned white again, he did not know anything about this, "Our job is to destroy the inside of the Avalerion building, there is no specific target from our client. I also ordered my men to destroy randomly." He said in a trembling voice.

This time the Tiger's face showed no sign that he was lying.

Ryan sighed, "You also poisoned Irina Hagrim, the boss of the Avalerion company?"

Even though his throat was dry, the Tiger still tried to tell him everything for his life, "No, we didn't! Our job is just to destroy the inside of the Avalerion building, so our task is considered complete by the client. As for the poison, we absolutely have no idea."

Ryan stood up and dragged the Tiger's body, "Stubborn bastard! Since you don't want to say his name, then meet him in hell."

When he heard that, the Tiger's heart tightened again. When he was about to ask forgiveness for his life, a knife had flown and stuck in his head.

Dead Man Inc leader had just died tonight. With his death, the city of Avalerion would experience changes, especially in the underground world of this city.

Ryan didn't care about this. After gathering up all Dead Man Inc dead members, Ryan began to inspect the room. There should be a clue regarding the mastermind behind the scenes.

The room was not that big. In a few minutes, Ryan had finished checking all corners of the room. When this happened, Nick was lying on the ground, still confused. He didn't know what to do right now. He wanted to talk but was afraid the other party would kill him. If he offended this person, it might be better for him to kill himself to save time.

Ryan was still trying to look for clues in this room carefully. Finally, Nick dared to call him and say, "Oldest brother."

Ryan ignored him.

"I think the Tiger opened a black door earlier."

Ryan immediately turned to Nick and asked, "Where?"

"There! There!" Nick pointed to a bookshelf which turned out to be sliding.

Ryan then shifted it and found a secret door behind it.

Ryan then concentrated again. He radiated his profound energy through his hands and suddenly the door had melted into powder!

Nick witnessed the scene with a jaw drop.

After entering the secret room, Ryan realized that there was another room in it. There were many weapons there, even those that were hard to import in this country. This place was their arsenal.

On the table, there were files of information such as profiles of major figures in the city of Avalerion and the financial records of Dead Man Inc so far.

When Ryan checked the whole room, he found a red ring in the drawer.

Ryan took it and examined it. This red ring looked ordinary but its symbol was very striking— a three-headed dog known as Cerberus.

'Eclipse!'

In an instant, the name Eclipse flashed in Ryan's mind. When he was with him in the past, the Eclipse always wore rings like this. There was no mistaking it, Eclipse had something to do with Dead Man Inc.

"It turns out you're not dead." Ryan muttered. He was now convinced that the Eclipse must have had a hand in today's events, but Ryan still doubted what his motive really was. He was also confused about why Eclipse was still playing dead and hiding.

"Hiding and just showing your tail is really your thing." Ryan then took the ring and came out of the secret room. He then saw Nick who was still sitting on the floor, "In an hour, the police will storm this place."

Ignoring Nick' figure, Ryan immediately disappeared within the darkness.

When Nick heard Ryan's warning, he also immediately left.

... ..

Ryan took out his cell phone and called Golge.

"Sir!"

"Golge, I found a red ring normally worn by Eclipse in one of the buildings belonging to a gang. I want you to examine this further."

"Sir, I already know that." Golge said, "Besides, the information I will give you directly is also related to that. I can only convey all of this in detail when I reach the city of Avalerion in less than a week."

Ryan frowned. He felt that there was something strange about Golge. When he first called her, he was still not aware of the awkwardness, but he felt something was strange this time.

"Okay, when you arrive please explain everything."

"Yes sir!"

After hanging up the phone, Ryan's face also returned to normal. He felt that there was something strange about Golge but he did not know what it was. He then decided to forget about this and wait for Golge to come.

When Ryan arrived at the house, only Susan was there. It looked like Irina hadn't come back yet.

"Miss Susan, how about today's television program? Are they interesting?" Ryan asked with a smile.

"Yes, today there are many good soap operas. If you are not at home, I can only watch TV." The old maid Susan said with a smile, "Why don't you come home with Miss? Is everything alright?" She asked him.

The time showed 7pm. Only half an hour for Ryan to clean up the gang that had attacked his lab this morning— the Dead Man Inc—and find another clue. Ryan's way of working was indeed efficient.

"I went out first because I needed to meet people. Maybe Irina will be home soon." Ryan said with a little doubt. Ryan still remembered that the old woman in front of him was not an ordinary person and knew that this question was a trap. Did she already know about the incident at the company?

"Alright then." Old maid Susan nodded.

Susan then went back to watching TV and Ryan said goodbye to take a break.

When Ryan went up to his room, Susan muttered, "At least he should have cleaned up first. He reeks of blood."

If Ryan had found out that his clothes smell like blood, he might have cleaned up and changed his clothes first before returning home. To be honest, Ryan was tired so he didn't have time to think that far. He felt his body suddenly turn cold, his breathing was irregular and his face was pale.

Today, he had channeled his inner power into Irina's body, and also ravaged the Dead Man Inc headquarters alone. Even though he was unharmed, his inner strength continued to circulate violently.

Ryan felt that his body began to tremble and his internal organs began to twist together. He felt that his inner strength was going to tear him apart.

"Arrgh!"
