Goodbye, Saintess. Novel

---- Chapter 624 "He's dead?!" Something was not right. | could understand why the Kingsman executives would choose to kill themselves. According to Naomi, the crimes they had committed were so severe that parole from their life sentences would never be an option. The Hill Group, however, was nowhere near that level. At most, Winston would face a ten-year sentence. So why had he killed himself? "Something's rotten. Call Naomi and tell her to find out who's backing Winston. Get the other elites to work with her.

Use my family's information brokers and resources." "Understood." Byleth took out her phone and relayed the message. Sazaar was now safe for me. The only personal enemy | had left was the Youngkins. Even so, | could not leave the city yet. | needed to know what had really happened to Winston. Had he been a pawn from the beginning? The Grimwald family's information network was extraordinary. Combined with Naomi's hacking skills, they uncovered the truth within ten minutes. ---- "You wouldn't believe this, Sebastian. Winston's backer was the Youngkins all along!" she cried.

"What?" | demanded, frowning. "Have they always been in cahoots? Is that why he showed up and tried so hard to become my business partner?" "No. The Youngkins only contacted him after the Hill Group and Sleeping Giant began working together. They lured him in with promises of profit." She continued, "Winston orchestrated the smear campaign against Sleeping Giant. Everything he did became a source of income for the Youngkins. That family has been making a fortune off your back while ensuring Sleeping Giant suffered." | sneered. "A family of idiots who think far too highly of themselves.

Always scheming, always plotting. Hmph. Too bad they're no stronger than ants beneath my boot." A plan took shape. | had Naomi and the other elites organize a press conference to expose every crime Winston had committed in secret, clearing Sleeping Giant's name. Then they announced Sleeping Giant's formal entry into Sazaar's pharmaceutical market. After that, | sent the Candors to begin their mission in the mining zone, then boarded a private plane with my elite team and ---- returned to Astergrad. The moment we arrived, we headed straight for the Youngkins' residence.

By then, the family had become a toothless predator. The combined financial assault from Sleeping Giant and the Grimwald Group had stripped them of any ability to fight back. Absurdly, even after | had effectively trapped the main branch of the family in their own home, Renault still believed he held the advantage. "Make a deal with me, Sebastian," he shouted. "Let my family live, and | promise we'll never interfere with you again." "Don't be ridiculous. You don't even have the grounds to negotiate," | sneered. "Oh, don't I?" he called from behind the door.

He kicked it open and revealed Hera in his grasp. "Recognize her? Your ex-wife of five years. Let my family live, and she lives too." Shock ran through me. | had never imagined we would meet again like this. Hera looked at me, her eyes clouded with conflict. When she spoke, her voice trembled with tears. "We finally meet again, honey."
