147 Terrorists

(A/N: The starting of this chapter heavily relies on a certain flashback from Chapter 105).

Alice wiped her face with water and sat down on the outskirts of the lake. She closed her eyes and allowed her body to recover on its own.

Slowly her face regained the original color as the effects of backlash dwindled.

The middle-aged man, on the other, patiently stood behind her, waiting for her orders.

"Is he from the slums?" Alice asked after a few minutes of deep contemplation.

"Ah...yes," The middle-aged man was startled by her question.

Just half an hour when Zed reached the villa, the middle-aged man has gathered a quick report on Zed through the influence of his family.

While he knew Zed was from the slums thanks to the report, he didn't expect her to ask such a question.

Does she know something?

"Now it makes sense," Alice's teenage face has a look of understanding, "He has to be the one Marina mentioned."

Marina?!
