No matter what Suzy did, the man refused to reveal Dylan’s whereabouts. His resolve was as unyielding as Claude’s had been.
Even when Suzy told him that Claude was dead, he remained silent, his loyalty unwavering.
“My master may be gone, but his orders remain. He commanded us never to reveal Dylan’s location,” the man said, his battered body showing the toll of Suzy’s interrogation. Yet his lips stayed sealed.
Suzy couldn’t deny it–Claude had been a master at training his people. Their loyalty was absolute.
Unlike her…
Her thoughts briefly drifted to Lisa and Avalon. Even if their betrayals had reasons behind them, they still served as painful reminders of her shortcomings.
Suzy’s gaze hardened as she looked at the man. “Even if it costs your life, you still won’t talk?”
“Not a word,” the man replied without hesitation. “You can kill me, but I won’t betray my master. Save your efforts and give me a quick death!”
“A quick death?” Suzy’s lips curled into a cold smile. She fed him a pill coated in poison.” Survive this, and I’ll let you go.”
It wasn’t just physical torture anymore–Suzy had even tried hypnosis. But whatever method Claude had used to condition his people, it rendered her efforts ineffective. No matter how skilled her techniques were, they failed against those tied to him.
Even as the poison wreaked havoc on his body, pushing him to the brink of death, the man refused to yield. His resilience was remarkable, though it only added to Suzy’s frustration.
She stood on the balcony that night, staring at the moon. Her heart felt like it was being gripped by an invisible hand, squeezing tighter and tighter. The suffocating feeling spread through her chest, consuming her.
It had been almost two months since Claude had begun impersonating Dylan.
If Dylan was still alive, she couldn’t imagine the torture he must have endured. Claude would never have allowed him to go unscathed.
The thought of Dylan suffering for so long, enduring inhuman torment, only made Suzy’s heart ache more.
She had to find him.
And she had to do it soon.

The more anxious Suzy became, the more things spiraled out of control.

Before she could extract any ie, the man committed suicide. Unable to bear the
excruciating pain of the poison tearing through his body, he bit down on his tongue and ended his own life.
With his death, the last lead to Dylan’s whereabouts vanished.
Suzy ordered her people to interrogate everyone connected to the man, but it yielded nothing new. Just like before, no one had any useful information.
She was at a complete loss. Where could Dylan possibly be?
Days of fruitless searching left Suzy emotionally drained. Her heart felt heavy with despair. “Dylan… where are you?”
Realizing that finding him on her own was nearly impossible, Suzy decided to call Victor. She hoped he could leverage the resources of the Yellowtail Squadron to aid her search. Victor had no idea about Claude impersonating Dylan–Suzy had never shared the truth. When she left Ashbourne City with Claude, she had simply told them she was taking Dylan away for treatment.
At the time, they had even thought there was hope for reconciliation between her and Dylan.
After all, Suzy had appeared deeply concerned about Dylan’s condition, and they had been optimistic that the two of them might mend their relationship. It had been a source of excitement and relief for everyone.
But now, Victor was blindsided by her words.
“What do you mean Dylan is missing?”
