Chapter 14 Meanwhile, Arabella received a tip-off: "Raul" was about to personally appear in a deal involving a new type of addictive substance. If this substance were to enter the country, the consequences would be unimaginable-countless families would be destroyed. Arabella stood before the map, her gaze fixed on the location of the deal-a luxury cruise ship on the high seas called "The Philia." Multiple reasons compelled her to investigate the cruise ship in person. She found Winston and got straight to the point.

"I need to board 'The Philia.' This deal cannot be allowed to succeed." Winston was making tea. Without even lifting his eyelids, he replied, "And the reason? For that intangible sense of justice of yours?" "Don't forget, you're my partner now, not a cop." "Raul' is very likely the real murderer of your mentor," Arabella said calmly. "This is the only chance to get close to them." He pushed a cup of tea toward her. "Your task is only to find the killer. I'll find a chance to confirm it." "I can confirm it myself," Arabella looked at him.

"I don't need you to," Winston saw through her intentions. "Your goal is to stop the deal, for your sense of justice. I won't invest my resources for that." Chapter 14 298 Vouchers Steam curled in the air, making it impossible for her to read Winston's expression. Arabella picked up the teacup but didn't drink, feeling the warmth at her fingertips. "We can make another deal. I'll help you confirm Raul's identity. If he is the killer, I'll help you get your revenge." "After we succeed, the 'Shade' channel in Mexico will be yours." Winston's eyes were sharp, as if weighing his options.

After a long pause, he finally spoke slowly, "We can discuss the plan." "But remember, on 'The Philia,' if you die, I won't be the one to collect your body." Arabella curled her lips slightly. "Don't worry, Mr. Holloway. I won't die before I see those people pay the price with my own eyes." "By the way, the Criminal Investigation Unit in Seattle has also received word about this deal. You'd better not expose yourself." "I heard that after this mission, it's his wedding with that woman, followed by the commendation ceremony.

If they complete it smoothly, that woman should also receive a second-class individual merit award." Winston's words made her back stiffen. Arabella couldn't help but recall the honor that had been stripped from her. A cold glint flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. "So what?" Chapter 14 Winston sensed her hostility but ignored it, letting out a soft chuckle.

"Come back alive, Arabella." "Otherwise, your corpse will once again become a stepping stone for that woman." "Since she once saved 'Raul,' giving her a second-class merit award is nothing for him." Arabella was at a loss for words. She set down her teacup and turned to leave. Before closing the door, she replied softly, "I will." Come back alive. "The Philia" was like a floating palace at sea, ablaze with lights and filled with elegantly dressed guests. Arabella wore a sapphire blue evening gown, her face concealed beneath a flawless, exquisitely crafted mask.

Tonight, her identity was Gillian Tyler, the companion of a wealthy businessman from Mexico. When her gaze fell on the entrance, Arabella's pupils contracted almost imperceptibly. It was Anthony and Judith, arriving together like a perfect couple. Behind them, a few seemingly ordinary guests were scattered about, but Arabella instantly recognized them as elite members of the. Criminal Investigation Unit. She averted her eyes, as the auction was about to begin. 10.58 L Chapter 14 One by one, works of art were brought onto the stage-classical oil paintings, bronzes-cach worth a fortune.
