“You all go out. I need to talk to Aqua alone,” Emmanuel ordered Aurora and the others.
Aurora obediently left, but Ironskull and Ostrich refused to budge.
“Mr. Emmanuel, we’ve been poisoned! It has to be Aqua’s doing. Protecting her won’t
help!” Ironskull exclaimed.
“Yeah, if you hadn’t treated us with acupuncture last night, we might be dead by now!”
Ostrich added, equally agitated.
“Get out!” Emmanuel hadn’t even had a chance to respond when Vachon Rhodes
stepped in, lifting both men out of the room by their collars.
Though still angry, Ironskull and Ostrich quieted down upon seeing TriSec and Quell
standing guard outside the door.

Aurora closed the door and joined the others outside.
Inside, Emmanuel, aware that they were still lingering outside, turned to Aqua and
asked, “Where did you go last night?”
“Mr. Emmanuel, I… I went to visit other clans. Many are curious about the Black Wolf
Team, so I was spreading our ideals and vision of freedom,” she replied nervously,
forcing a smile.
“Is that so?” He sighed and then asked directly, “Do you have a compelling reason for
poisoning us?”
“Ah? I don’t understand what you’re saying!” Aqua stammered, panic evident in her
voice.
Emmanuel reached into her sleeve and pulled out a vial of poison.

Seeing her genuine despair, he’sighed. “Why did you do it?”
He had initially brought Aqua into the Black Wolf Team, which meant she didn’t
originally intend to harm him. Her actions, aimed at the entire team, suggested
someone was coercing her to destroy them all.
“I had no choice! If I didn’t, my mother would die!” Aqua sobbed, revealing the whole
story.

Aqua reluctantly accepted. Her frail appearance and the sympathy she evoked in men
caught Yasmine’s attention, who then trained her as a spy. By a twist of fate, she
infiltrated the Black Wolf Team due to Xarri.
“So, Xarri’s disappearance was related to you?” Emmanuel asked, intrigued.
Outside, the Black Wolf members were ready to burst in and punish the traitor, but Quell
held them back.
Surprised, they saw Quell’s cold stare and restrained themselves.
“I… I had no choice. At that time, Ms. Morgan asked me to deliver food to Xarri. I didn’t
know it was drugged. That night, Xarri left the Black Wolf Team’s territory and never
returned… She also threatened to expose me if I didn’t follow her orders,” Aqua

“My mother had initially left Dark Night Island and was given a villa by the Airspace
Group as a reward for my work: But now, to threaten me, Ms. Morgan has had her
brought back and imprisoned in the dungeon!” Aqua cried, her voice breaking. “We’ve
only had each other for so long. If she dies, I don’t want to live either. But I don’t want to
hurt anyone anymore, especially not you, Mr. Emmanuel. You’ve been so kind to me.

Emmanuel sighed and patted her shoulder.
Through tear–filled eyes, Aqua looked up at him and heard him say, “Since you’re
familiar with the Airspace Group’s dungeons, I need you to guide me there tonight to
see if we can rescue your mother.”
